Senate Democrats Are Trying to Undermine Trump’s Ability to Govern

[GURPS]

The minority asked for a roll call vote on only six of Obama’s nominees, casting a total of only 110 negative votes. The others were confirmed without opposition by voice vote.

This year, the minority has demanded a roll call vote on every single nominee, casting a total of 723 negative votes. Only one nominee had no opposition and none was confirmed by voice vote.

Or look specifically at the Department of Justice.

Obama and Trump made approximately the same number of top Justice Department nominations at this point. The Senate, however, confirmed 50 percent more of those nominees in 2009 than it has this entire year.

Not only that, but it has taken more than 50 percent longer to confirm Trump’s Justice Department nominees than it did to confirm Obama’s choices.

Only one purpose exists for this confirmation chaos.

Democrats abandoned their most potent obstruction weapon in November 2013, when they abolished filibusters of all executive branch nominees.

Since they cannot actually defeat these nominees, the only motive left is to undermine Trump’s ability to govern. Instead of a means to an end, such obstruction has now become a partisan end in itself.

This isn't news. Every Trump voter already knows this. Between the media and the Congress there is a coup going on, and the sorry part, the part that frosts my balls is that the Republicans are in on it.

This isn't news.

sure it is, because to people like Sappy - Trump fails because he hasn't filled the administration in 8 months

'because ya know his party controls the Senate'

A routine affirmation of the FACTS is required ....
Senate Democrats are using EVERY PROCEDURAL Process to slow down Trumps Appointments
A courtesy Republicans Gave OBAMA

 

[Wishbone]

This is why Democrats should be treated as ruthlessly as possible.

Be polite and civil to those that deserve it ONLY! Those that don't, unleash Hell! ( Problem is: the GOP is gutless )

*** I live by that philosophy around here too. ***

But the Republicans are helping the Democrats do it. At least they are doing nothing to stop it.
