Daily Signal-
After months of a Democrat blockade of President Donald Trump’s nominees, Republicans in the Senate have gone nuclear.
By a vote to 53-to-45 on Thursday afternoon, the Senate voted in favor of what is commonly referred to as the “nuclear option,” the creation of a new Senate rule by a simple majority vote, rather than the two-thirds typically required.
The rule that will result from the deployment of the nuclear option will allow the Senate to confirm presidential nominees in batches, rather than one by one. Next week, the Senate will finalize the rule changes that will likely set a new precedent for how the upper chamber goes about confirming presidential appointments. more
Republicans did something?
Thune woke up, 8 months later. Yeah, that’s real leadership. /s
Trump was on Fox & Friends this morning. He rightly said if George Washington and abraham Lincoln came back to life and wanted to join his administration Schumer would block them. This is all done purely out of spite. Oh, how I wish the republicans would treat democrats the same way dems do when the GOP is in the minority. They walk all over them.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Meh.
RINO’s can still torpedo even a simple majority.
And they will. And RINO Thune, who called pro-form sessions to block recess appointments, KNOWS it.
Only reason he went along with it in the first place…
The only thing worse than a democrat is a back stabbing repuglickin.
Or they could have instead of taking an early fall break they could have stuck around DC and done their jobs instead of kicking the can down the road.
I’m sick of all these SOB’s and their damn games.
Strike while the emotions are hot. Not that things are going to cool down real soon.
Maybe for a while Republicans will grow a pair after Charilie Kirk’s murder.
Ohio Dan;
Maybe, we’ll see soon enough.
Possibly the GOP Senate of appeasement, go along-to get along, is in the past. (?)
Reality is the GOP have no lock on the mid-term elections, and the RINOs & Dems know it.
