I'm looking forward to next Wednesday, the GOP is about to steamroll these pathetic democrat losers and any plan they might have had to block Donald Trump's nominations.
Quote:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s conference has scheduled six Cabinet-level confirmations hearings for next Wednesday, Jan. 11, the same day the chamber will likely slog through an all-night vote-a-rama on a budget and the president-elect will give his first press conference in six months.
Republicans insist their intention is not to obscure the confirmation hearings for cabinet nominees amid a flurry of political activity. But the net result will likely be too many events for comprehensive news coverage — and it may tank Senate Democrats’ long-planned strategy to systematically attack Trump’s cabinet and wound the Republican Party.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has personally urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) not to schedule simultaneous hearings on Trump’s selections, warning that such a move would test the new relationship between the two leaders. But the GOP ignored the entreaty by scheduling the attorney general, secretary of state, CIA director, education secretary, homeland security chief and transportation secretary all for the same day.
But Republicans are standing firm, refusing to back down to Democrats’ requests to move some of the hearings to different days. The GOP says the calls for delay are a transparent attempt by Democrats to slow down the confirmation process and isolate individual nominees with negative publicity. Don Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell, said "Sen. Schumer is not satisfied with precedent and best practices."
Of course we do, why do you think we voted to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House?
I haven't a clue why you all believed the lies Trump and the Republican spread about her.
RW folks had a three yard fit about Pay to Play with only the vaguest circumstantial conspiracy theories to go on, while Trump brags about bribing people. Now he's loading up his cabinet with billionaires robber barons and you are all jumping for joy.
Yup heading towards something the Democrats will never ever forget...
You are right there. I doubt anybody will forget what's ahead.
