Trump Cabinet/Appointments

[UNI88]

A future is only more likely if he isn't a good enough negotiator to pull it off. He's always telling people how great he is. It's time to put up or shut up and save millions of Ukrainian lives.

Wrong. Not the US’s job to save millions of Ukrainians lives anymore than it is the US’s job to save mass numbers of lives in any other country.

Tell me you don't understand that we live in an interconnected world without telling me that you don't understand that we live in an interconnected world.

So what. Not the US’s job to play world’s policeman every time there’s a foreign war NeoCon88.

Thanks for posting something a guy is correct about. Never heard of the guy before, but like what I am seeing so far.

Of course you do.

Well, if you actually understood science, you'd appreciate at lot more in life.

Tell me you don't understand that we live in an interconnected world without telling me that you don't understand that we live in an interconnected world.

Tell me you didn't give a shit about the Ukrainian government slaughtering their own people without telling me you didn't give a shit.

[SeattleGriz]

I don’t. Giving NATO membership to a country bordering Russia that Russia was just at war with will make a future WIII More likely and lead to tens of millions more lives lost. The The guy who wrote The Art of the Deal is smart enough not to do something so wreckless and stupid.

A future is only more likely if he isn't a good enough negotiator to pull it off. He's always telling people how great he is. It's time to put up or shut up and save millions of Ukrainian lives.

What a dunce!

"Yeah Trump, you were tougher on Russia than Obama and Biden put together, but now you better fix their mess because you wrote a book".

Tell me you didn't give a shit about russian Nazis slaughtering Ukrainian civilians without telling me you didn't give a shit.

Are you ok?

Yes. Next Secretary of Education.

Are you ok?

Are you? Uni St Behar has a very bad habit of making up horseshit criteria and then claiming if Trump doesn't meet his hare brained criteria, Trump is a loser.

I wouldn't expect you to understand that though.

Yep its funny and pathetic all at the same time. These two "knuckleheads" need to be medicated and hospitalized

Senate Republicans deliver a message to Trump: Gaetz's confirmation is in jeopardy

Knowing how toxic a character they are dealing with, Senate Republicans are worried about getting tarnished by the process. They fear that senators up for reelection in 2026, including Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) could face a MAGA primary challenge if they oppose his nomination — while possibly kissing their seats goodbye in a general election if they back him.

It’s not just the politically vulnerable who are fretting. There’s a fear that Trump is going to waste precious political capital trying to push Gaetz through when he could instead be working on advancing other, more feasible nominations — not to mention his governing agenda. Consider, they say, just how distracting Gaetz confirmation hearings will be as Trump moves to dismantle Joe Biden’s regulatory and legislative legacy.

Will trump prioritize personal loyalty or what's best for the republican party long-term?

Recess appointment.

Oh, and thank you Harry Reid for getting rid of the filibuster for confirmations.

Nothing says leadership like ducking your responsibilities because they might make you look bad.

Recess appointments require the Senate to be in recess which will slow down implementation of the trump agenda.

No it won’t. The Senate is recess all the time (about 20 weeks of the year).

The recess needs to last 10+ days ... Justices rule for Congress in White House fight over recess appointments

The court majority concluded recess appointments would be valid if those breaks lasted 10 days or more.

Well if they’re in recess around 20 weeks a year I’m sure the avg is a couple of weeks.

I hope he rapes the republican party just like he did E Jean Carroll. Those RINOS deserve it.

Resorting to recess appointments to get through candidates who wouldn't be able to get through the nomination process are as much of an abdication of the Constitution as were the Dem plans to force into statehood PR and DC to stack the Senate and the plans they had to pack the Court. The Senate has the advise and consent role given to them in the Constitution - if Trump can't get some candidates through even a friendly Senate then the Senate shouldn't run away and not do their Constitutional duty. Recess appointments were for when it took a month by horse to get back to Washington. We can do better.
