Summary
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly warned that there will be no recess appointments, directly opposing Donald Trump’s plan to bypass Senate confirmation for controversial cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz has faced allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct.
McConnell’s stance sparked widespread discussion about a looming constitutional showdown.
Critics argue recess appointments could undermine Senate authority and pose national security risks.
Observers question McConnell’s influence, noting potential leadership changes, while others see this as a critical test of Senate integrity against Trump-aligned Republicans.
Donnie boy is always testing the waters, testing the limits. It’s an extreme version of what the GOPers have been doing for years. Ask for a 150% of what’s reasonable, and then act all butt hurt when they only get 125%. We’ve seen this game before. There’s nothing new coming out of the “grand” Old party. smh.
Well those are just basic negotiation skills.
If so then the Dems need to learn some basic negotiation skills. But I don’t agree. The two parties are supposed to represent all of the US, and what they should be negotiating for is those policies that are in the best interest of all US citizens. I hope you’ll agree that is not the case.
