There are more than a few Republicans who would like to see them forego their August recess and push through the 150 or so appointments the Democrats have been stonewalling for weeks and/or months now. Any recess appointments Trump can make cannot be permanent appointments. At the rate they are going it will be April to get them all debated and voted on and by then there could be 150 more appointments to deal with including any recess appointments whose time have run out.Yet the republicans are the gang of ****-ups who can't shoot straight.
Talk of being fooled, they blabber in like libertarians in their campaigns, then govern like the shitlibs they're supposedly opposed to.
You watch, that sleazeball Thune will play the pro forma game -that is supposed to be in play when the prez is of the opposite party- in order to keep Trump from making recess appointments.
Thune was one who wanted to cancel the recess but had pressure from too many Republicans who want to go home. He did delay the recess through the weekend though hoping they could get a few more nomination confirmed. I can't imagine he will do anything to sabotage President Trump.
