You really know how to add to a thread Carby....Oh snowflake....Barack Obama added as much to the national debt (almost $10 trillion) in 8 years as all presidents in U.S. history combined did in the 233 years prior.....and every time you mf's leave office, every single time, you simp, the country is left in debt and in chaos.
Any other lies you'd like to attempt?
You're wrong.
Looks like the Democrats are embracing being the party of "no" simply because they can't accept losing an election. Let's hope the American people make them pay for this during the 2018 midterms.
- Of the last seven administrations, three had a full Cabinet confirmed and in place within three weeks of the president’s inauguration.
- President Barack Obama had all but two nominees confirmed within two weeks of his inauguration. And President Bill Clinton had all but one nominee confirmed within one week after he took the oath of office.
- So, what about President Donald Trump? At four weeks into his presidency, a mere six of his 15 nominees had not yet been voted on. And at the end of week seven, two of those nominees haven’t even had a single committee hearing.
- How did this happen? Simple: Senate Democrats decided, as a conference, to block and obstruct Trump’s Cabinet nominees, carelessly smashing Senate norms of procedure and etiquette in the process.
- Senate Democrats have gone to such extraordinary lengths to sabotage the normal process of a new president staffing his administration that even The Washington Post called their obstruction “unprecedented.”
- Trump’s Cabinet remains unfilled nearly three months into his presidency. And the rate of confirmation for his other nominees has been just as slow.
Senate Democrats Are Delaying 'Drain the Swamp'
- With more than 1,000 additional positions still needing to be confirmed by the Senate, the bureaucracy will keep humming along without reforms and critical areas of the government will be compromised. Meanwhile, Democrats fill their election war chests and cause a political media frenzy.
Since the absurdity of a Donald Trump presidency is unprecedented, of course the Democrats' opposition to it should be proportionately unprecedented.
Oh you can be rest assured that they won't. Why would they? They are a terrorist organization hell bent on bringing down the U.S. It would be like ISIS cooperating with Republicans.I would be surprised if Democrats cooperated on anything over the next four years

Maybe if Republicans apologized for their behavior and nominated Garland for Supreme Court

Good to see that you're as ignorant about this topic as you are about most, Ben! The Congress doesn't "nominate" anyone! They "confirm" nominees that have been chosen by an incoming President! Senate Democrats under Chuck Shumer have deliberately slow walked confirmation hearings drawing out the process for as long as they can. What they are doing makes it impossible for the Trump team to function properly because they don't have people in place to work on the issues. Then idiots like yourself start strings asking why Trump hasn't fixed things yet!
Didn't you enable this with two enthusiastic votes, "patriot"?Oh you can be rest assured that they won't. Why would they? They are a terrorist organization hell bent on bringing down the U.S. It would be like ISIS cooperating with Republicans.I would be surprised if Democrats cooperated on anything over the next four years

And therein lies the broader point. Trump and his team have known for months they needed to prepare a vast executive-branch team to take the reigns of power this afternoon – and they blew it badly. The Republicans didn’t just ask dozens of Obama appointees to keep going to work because of the officials’ competence; Trump World is also scrambling because it’s desperate.
Washington Post is maintainingan online database on executive-branch offices that require Senate confirmation, and there are a total of 690 positions. As of now, Trump has nominated a grand total of 30 people to fill those posts.
And that doesn’t include other government offices that don’t require Senate confirmation – positions Trump simply can fill on his own – which also remain empty.
Republicans are eager to complain that Democrats are to blame for the fact that so few of Trump’s cabinet nominees are ready for confirmation, but it’s not Dems’ fault Trump hasn’t nominated anyone for 660 out of 690 executive-branch positions.
As power shifts, Trump's team remains unprepared to govern
The only thing democrats are doing is responding, one more time responding to Trumps inability to deal with reality. One more time, find a fuckin mirror and there in lies your problem.But the only reason there is "absurdity" in the Trump presidency is because of the absurd reaction you snowflakes are having to not getting your way. As usual, hatriots create the problem and the whine the loudest about it.Since the absurdity of a Donald Trump presidency is unprecedented, of course the Democrats' opposition to it should be proportionately unprecedented.

T-rump is a hack who failed to do the necessary work to staff his Administration. Several of his nominees were fellow hacks like DeVos and Perry....others were Teabag sops like Sessions and Mullvaney....then there was the Flynn disaster, after which T-rump had to find someone with pulse willing to work with his Freak Show....he got lucky when a patriot stepped up and took the gig.....
The cost?

Do you want to discuss the problems Barack Obama had initially filling Cabinet appointments, Slim? That was done without the stalling tactics that the Democrats are employing against Trump. Trump was elected President to do a job. Democrats are deliberately working from day one to make that job as hard as possible. Let's call a spade a spade!
