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.
Just thinking back to how easy it would have been to never have Trump in our lives again, to get off this worst timeline, if just a handful of people had a tiny bit of courage at the impeachment trials.
Maybe they all thought he was cooked and they could once again forget about doing the right thing one more time, to endear themselves to his rabid supporters. It’s dizzying to think they could have protected the Constitution with a single word, and failed to do even that.
Stop depressing me with a historically accurate recounting of events that happened.
The impeachment vote shouldn’t have been a public ballot. If it had been private I have little to no doubt he’d have been gone the secondtime, possibly the first. Pence was middling but he knows the game.
Hear me out, people could not have voted for this bullshit.
We get what we deserve. I can only hope we manage to preserve our republic and we don’t become an autocracy. An oligarchy is bad enough as is.
