Now use the Harry Reid nuclear option to ram through every single last nominee.
It does hamper the Dems as well as the Pubs in terms of running their respective races so the Dems will be screaming as well.
Watch out for Mitch setting up impeachment proceedings.
Was any reason given in the announcement ?
><
Democrat obstruction.
Who is Mitch kidding?
They are NEVER really in recess.
If they were Trump could fire all the dead weight and
replace them with a bunch of recess appointments.
It would be interesting to see Trump challenge those sessions, arguing that In session is “full in session” and not Pro forma. The court cases alone would keep the congress tied up right thru election season. Congress wouldn’t necessarily impeach as it is a Senate issue and not a congressional issue!
He must know the Storm is coming!
Court cases already decided. That’s why pro formas are used.
Chuckles the Clown was too busy demanding Terms on the N. Korean meeting to see the summer ice cream truck about to run his old ass over.
He will whine to the press in 4, 3, 2, 1 blah blah blah
><
They are such hypocritical, obnoxious bastards.
We’d better not let them take the House and Senate.
That would be big news. I haven't seen it covered anywhere.
The first few pages of a google search only show last year's maneuver. Got a link. Thanks.
To move the confirmations along, all McConnell needs to do is end the obstructionist 30 hours of “debate”. He has been unwilling to do this even though the next time Dems control the senate and the presidency, they will do it quickly.
I see the little legs of the post turtle waving.
I suspect it’s more that he recognizes that if there is no recess then that reduces the Dems’ opportunities to campaign.
In general, I think I'd rather see them "Not Working", rather than coming up with new ways to screw us.
Hmmm.

Duh...
President Trump needs appointments confirmed.
OR keeping the Dems from campaigning for the midterms.

Might be true but since Obama happened, put it all to the test again! Trump can decide not to pay salaries for a while as well if the salary structures never included “pro forma pay”!
He will never get serious about promoting Trump’s agenda. He is the willing slave of his globalist masters.
