“Constitutionalally speaking, Pence as President of the Senate could theoretically put the Senate in recess so Trump could make a recess appointment.”

My first thought was McConnell is doing this to stop any recess appointments, like, say, a new Attorney General.

I thought I just read that the next in like for Rosie’s job was Sarah Palin’s lawyer when she was Governor of Alaska.

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

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.

>>Constitutionalally speaking, Pence as President of the Senate could theoretically put the Senate in recess so Trump could make a recess appointment. Don’t know if this has ever been done but it seems the Constitution would allow for it.

Hmm, sounds good. I wonder if Pence would have the courage to do it. Maybe if DJT told him to......

He also needs to shut down the Senate air conditioning.

Good news? Sundance over at The Treehouse certainly seems to have doubts:

On Cue – Mitch McConnell Welcomes Legislation To Block President Trump Trade Policy…

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/06/05/on-cue-mitch-mcconnell-welcomes-legislation-to-block-president-trump-trade-policy/

And as far as I’m concerned, I’d trust people inside The Beltway under two conditions: Either their last name’s Trump or I’ve got the subject by the throat.

Good news on 2 fronts:

1) More of Trump’s nominees will get a vote (meaning, get approved); and

2) With 25 Dems up for re-election, this will be 3 weeks in which they can’t campaign or fund-raise in any kind of efficient manner, while their opponents can. It will help in November.

For once, I must say, “Thanks, Mitch! Job well done.”

I’d wager Goldman Sachs/Wall Street has given old Mitch his marching orders; Amnesty.
GS/WS need to pump the value of shares.. via endless cheap labor.
GS/WS folk are not going to surrender sunsets over Central Park nibbling foie gras and Rothschild campaign.

BTW - Your kids will die for the petro-dollar - not theirs.

Yes, is Donald finally getting that chain around McConnell’s measly neck?

IIRC, they only work Tues thru Thurs anyway.

Lots of pay for a 3 day week with lots of weeks off.

1) can I watch?

2) I heard on a talk show that Congress only works 3 days a week when actually “working.” No bills are introduced, placed in a hopper or debated on Mondays or Fridays. Office staff may or may not take messages or just put on a phone message.

If true, wow.

Add the “recess” every so often and the extra Easter, Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving,MLK Day and personal leave and campaign weeks. Where’s the work? At that rate we wouldn’t have replacement for Obama Care, a Wall,and all those other bills passed.

Oh, wait We didn’t.
