Good news.

[grumpygresh]

Is it good news?

I though McConnell was keeping the Senate in session to prevent Trump form making any recess appointments.

So, if we could get Rosenstein to recuse, what about the #3 at DOJ. I thought that post was open.

First time I’ve agreed with Mitchell in a long time.

Good

Did someone locate their cajones?

Didn’t McConell also shut the door on Trump makng recess appointments? Or was that something only Demonrat presidents could do?

[Robert A Cook PE]

No recess, no recess appointments.

In persuasiveness terms:

  McConnell’s heat = .5
  The DC weather’s August heat = 50

Time to fold like the cheap suits you are, Dems! Approve those judges and President Trump’s wished-for legislation! Then, when you get your recess, Trump’ll still have time for some appointments!

What makes it good news is that it takes a number of vulnerable Dems off the campaign trail during the later summer. They gotta stay in Washington while many of their GOP opponents can keep campaigning.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

MSNBC spins it - McConnell refuses to let the Democrats campaign- collusion at the top to steal the midterm elections.

So does this (did McConnell) eliminate possible recess appointments?

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

pretty sure he cancelled it to prevent recess appointments. This was not done to help our POTUS.

[Windflier]

Thank you, Mitch. More of this, please.

[TigersEye]

I’m not so sure it’s good news.
He may have done it to block Trump from making recess appointments.

“He added that senators would stay in session “to pass legislation, including appropriations bills..”

So they’ll stay in town so they can spend more money and further restrict our rights. I greatly prefer our Congress and Senate when they are NOT in session.

I posted yesterday:

Hay Mitch, where’ya at. I heard you on the radio the other day saying that getting President Trump’s nominees approved was very high on your priority list.

Prove it. Give the country some real statesmanship for a change.

Oh my goodness, Mitch read my FR post :) Apparently he's found his cojones. Good for you Mitch.

Schumer is now publicly questioning if Trump will stay in D.C. as well, and not go to one of his, "Resorts".

Some people just need

[Luircin]

Looks like either the Turtle found his balls, OR they’re in a vice that’s slowly tightening.

Good news either way.

Good time for Kennedy to retire, and for Satan to take Ruth Ginsberg home.

He also needs to shut down the Senate air conditioning.
