US Senate goes Nuclear to approve Trump's nominees, good idea or bad idea? (Poll)

[kyzr]

Democrats have blocked most of Trump's nominees, Thune and the Republicans tried to negotiate, in vain, going nuclear is the only option, thank you!!

All 53 Republicans voted for the rules change, a pleasant surprise, that shows how unreasonable the democrats have been.

Senate Republicans invoke ‘nuclear option’ to change rules to confirm Trump nominees​

The 53-43 party-line vote came after negotiations intensified earlier Wednesday on a bipartisan deal to speed the nominations, but it failed to get enough Democratic support and Republicans moved forward with the partisan rule change.

Thune needs to change the rules for appropriations bills, and rescissions.

I Trump's America, n The Congress - Both Houses, has become a joke. Joining the Executive. I still hold out on the Supreme Court

The United States Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States. It is a bicameral legislature, including a lower body, the U.S. House of Representatives, and an upper body, the U.S. Senate. They both meet in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

The republicans tried to negotiate a deal so it wouldnt happen and the democrats refused to compromise. What they have done for 6 months on appointments is wrong and they know it.

If Democommies Vote From the Rooftops then the Nuke option is totally palatable

Merrick Garland must be laughing his ass off somewhere.

All it takes now is a simple majority vote. One at time is not fast enough for all the appointees King Trump wants to shoving down the throat of America.

When democrats play hardball, never approving anyone, going nuclear is the only option.

They can't stop them. Confirmation only take 51 votes right now. They can only slow them down. Democrats will see that change and raise it with a new change of their own. It's the McConnell principle!

After stolen 2020 and now more gunshots by deep state loons I don't care what they do. Its a war they started.

This enemy is corrupt and criminal. Wipe them out anyway you can. Fix the ballot box and they will be put down.

The dems must have really been acting like assholes to get Collins and Murkowski to vote for it.

Benedict Donald didn't steal the 2020 election. How deep could a 22 year old loon be in the state? I think he was living in his own private Idaho! Hopefully he will tell us his motivation, before the state of Utah puts him up against the wall......

It's a long road. One rule change to benefit partisanship will beget another on the other side soon enough.

I don't ride the bus.

Ask Harry Reid why Gorsuch, and not Garland, is on the SC.

You do. In the back.
(I was going to make a short bus joke, but tat would have been too obvious)

It wouldn’t be his preference. But the impact of Dim stalling has led to this.

Tough luck for the Dims. Ye shall reap what you sow.

That's the McConnell Rule. What ever rule change they make next time automatically gets blamed on the previous Senate Majority Leader, they just have to say "but he started it!".

I'm in the Houston suburbs, we travel by car and truck. But when I did I was in the back of it. Mary Anne was there you see.......

 

[M14 Shooter]

That's the McConnel Rule.

He did it because Reid did it so... Nice try, but fail.
