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

[kyzr]

So you're saying when Repub's blocked Obama's nominees for positions in his admin and lower federal courts Reid was justified in ending the filibuster?

Yes, I believe that unless the nominee is totally unqualified for the position, the president deserves the team he nominates.

 

[berg80]

Its called the tyranny of the minority. Thune tried to negotiate, Schumer would not, so Thune went nuclear, majority rules.

There's a bit of context I have not seen brought up in the discussion which I think is worth noting. Using trump's cabinet nominees as a template and extrapolating from there my assumption is the folks Dem's are objecting to are equivalently unfit for their nominated positions as the likes of Pam Bondi and RFK.

To which trumples will reply Dotard is prez so he gets to have the people he wants in his regime. Implicit in that assertion is the nominees are men and women of good will who will serve the country. Experience tells us that is not true when it comes to this regime. Therefore, Senate Dem's are within their rights to do everything possible to prevent a further corruption of the government with feckless ideologues. People, who like trump's cabinet nominees (see Ka$h Patel), were picked not for their expertise but for their willingness to support illegal acts ordered by a lawless prez.

the republicans' did not block every single nomination for 9 months and promise to continue for the whole 4 years

I'm okay with that. I appreciate your tacit admission McTreason is responsible for Reid blowing up the filibuster since it was Mitch who decided to obstruct Obama's nominees as an act of political sabotage having nothing to do with the qualifications of the nominees.

Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you. Well, okay, maybe a little.

We are at war with democrats. Extraordinary means are called for. They cannot be allowed to murder the running of the country the way they murdered Charlie Kirk.

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.

Sooner or later the Senate is going to nuke everything… making the Senate no different from the House

Pam Bondi was the AG of FL dumbass, she is very qualified.
RFK was on the democrat stage for president of the US, he is trying to fix the US vaccination system that gives kids 72 jabs before age 2 and also gives too many autism, compared to other developed countries. The pharmaceutical companies apparently run the CDC and HHS. RFK needs to MAHA.

I will see Kash Patel and raise you a corrupt Comey, Strzok, Page and the other political hacks who wont let Trump win
Illegal acts by Kash Patel? Like what? List them or you are a LIAR. I have illegal acts:
Like Clinesmith falsifying evidence to get a FISA warrant?

Democrats need to get Trump's nominees confirmed. This is no time to play political games.

 

[berg80]

you can thank democrats for that.

As much as you want that to be true..........it isn't.

 

[berg80]

You'll notice I didn't use the word unqualified with regard to the blonde sock puppet. I said unfit. Part of what made her unfit was she lied during her confirmation hearing. Pretending she wouldn't rubber stamp anything the Criminal-in-Chief told her to do when her history as an unrepentant sycophant told a different story. Since then she has shown herself to be even more corrupted than Roberto Gonzales and Billy the Bagman.

So, Trump puts shit people forward, with no attempt at giving a damn about the Democrats and it's THE DEMOCRATS' fault when they reject these????

Seriously?

Then the Republicans decide "you know what, we think we should be able to do whatever we want, even though these aren't the rules".....

After the Republican Senate blocked an Obama Supreme Court justice appointment.

Are you ******* kidding me?

There were many Obama judges confirmed by Republicans.

You type lies but don't prove any of them.
I remember when Obama's AG, Eric Holder bragged that he was "Obama's wingman".
Prove corruption by Pam...waiting...

Shit people?
Democrat presidential stage candidates RFK & Tulsi Gabbard? Rejected by democrats? WTF?
How about these Biden picks?

As I recall Republicans used the Biden Rule to block Merrick Garland:
