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

[berg80]

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...

Well, we could start even before she became Don's rubber stamp for his illegal acts as the US, AG if you like. While she was still FL's AG she took a $25K campaign contribution from trump and subsequently decided not to have FL join the lawsuit against trump University for defrauding its students.

Since becoming trump's AG there has been a veritable smorgasbord of corruption from the firing of DoJ officials who participated in investigations of trump's crimes to not firing Emil Bove after he told DoJ attorneys to ignore court orders.

There were many Obama judges confirmed by Republicans.

And many more who were blocked… forcing the Dems to nuke that process

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:

There is no such thing as a “Biden rule”

It was a lame excuse to steal a SC seat

They are immersed on an enormous vat of misinformation relied on to form the belief system utilized to repeatedly tell the same lies over and over.

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.

False!

The Democrats have NOT BLOCKED Trump's nominees. The Democrats simply want to do as the constitution states, vet them and vote on each one of them on the Senate floor in the Senate Chamber.

Republicans would likely win most of those votes for nominees, with few exceptions where a handful of Republicans may not be able to stomach the nominee and their unqualifications for the job.

Basically, what is going on is Thune wants to pass all the Trump nominations in some big lump sum of groups, without ever doing the advise part of their advise and consent of individual nominees, their constitutional duty, and Schumer is forcing a vote on each nominee. That takes time, but Trump thinks his time is short....I suppose?

Linky? Doesn't sound like "corruption"? What laws were broken?

Since becoming trump's AG there has been a veritable smorgasbord of corruption from the firing of DoJ officials who participated in investigations of trump's crimes to not firing Emil Bove after he told DoJ attorneys to ignore court orders.

1. Prove "corruption" by firing DOJ officials. Presidents usually take all of their resignations after taking office.
2. What Trump "crimes"? I'm sure you mean the illegal "lawfare" against Trump.
3. Emil Bove? When district judges get outside their districts their orders should be ignored, so says the USSC.

"In a meeting on March 14 about deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, Bove, according to the complaint, “stressed to all in attendance that the planes needed to take off no matter what.” In the face of legal challenges, he proposed the department tell the courts “f— you” and “ignore” court orders blocking the Trump administration’s attempted removal of these individuals."

All of the nominees were passed out of their committees. That means they are qualified.
Schumer is obstructing. Here is a link confirming.

Thune says Senate will change the rules to push through Trump's blocked nominees

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans are ready to change the chamber’s rules to allow quick confirmations of dozens of President Donald Trump’s executive branch nominees.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans are ready to change the chamber’s rules to allow quick confirmations of dozens of President Donald Trump’s executive branch nominees and will move to speed up votes after months of Democratic delays.
Opening the Senate on Monday, Thune said Democrats’ obstruction is “unsustainable.” He said Republicans will begin action this week to allow votes on groups of lower-level executive branch nominees if a majority of the Senate agrees. Currently, one senator’s objection can force days of votes on a single nominee.

Doesn't sound like to corruption to take a bride? Linky? Look it up.

1. Prove "corruption" by firing DOJ officials. Presidents usually take all of their resignations after taking office.

That's a lie. US Attorneys, which are political appointments, and top officials in the DoJ are typically replaced. Not the kinds of officials Bondi fired as retribution for their participation in investigations of trump.

 

[berg80]

2. What Trump "crimes"? I'm sure you mean the illegal "lawfare" against Trump.

Plotting to steal the election in 2020 and refusing to comply with a subpoena for the return of stolen classified docs.

You forced an older SC judge out to put a young one in. One who is DEI.

Emil Bove? When district judges get outside their districts their orders should be ignored, so says the USSC.

That's a lie. Bove was not given the authority to unilaterally instruct DoJ attorneys to ignore court orders that had not been reversed on appeal.

"In a meeting on March 14 about deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, Bove, according to the complaint, “stressed to all in attendance that the planes needed to take off no matter what.” In the face of legal challenges, he proposed the department tell the courts “f— you” and “ignore” court orders blocking the Trump administration’s attempted removal of these individuals."

AI Overview

A U.S. federal appeals court, the Fifth Circuit, ruled in September 2025 that the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members was illegal.

ya I mean the dems didnt change the lower Judge nomination conformation or anything right?

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.

 

[berg80]

All of the nominees were passed out of their committees. That means they are qualified.

Now you're just being silly. How does a committee vote controlled by the Repub majority prove anything about their qualifications?

ya I mean the dems didnt change the lower Judge nomination conformation or anything right?

Because of unprecedented blocking of virtually all nominees for judgeships, Cabinet positions, and even Ambassadors

"The new rules proposal would allow the Senate to move some of Trump’s nominees in groups of 48 at a time."

Senate Republicans take first steps to change rules to speed up Trump's nominees

Republicans are taking the first steps to change the rules of the Senate to confirm more of President Donald Trump’s nominees.

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.

Maybe he should be assassinated

Isn't that really what you're saying? You forgot to call him a Fascist. You can murder a Fascist and not be held morally accountable, amirite? Everybody knows that

Maybe you should have thrown 'Racist' in there too. Racists are fair game, as we all know.

But I guess calling him 'King' will have to do for now, what with one of your Fellow Travelers having just murdered a good and decent man just because your scumbag pals disagreed with him.

If just disagreeing with someone is cause for dimocrap scum to MURDER, then I guess being a King is reason enough, too

typical dimocrap piece of shit

Bad idea. It will bite you guys in the ass just like Harry Ried;s original idea did the Democrats.

OMG. It proves the majority said they are qualified.
