Tell everyone the reason Flynn had to resign....Please stop!Its a republican congress, Homer. They can nominate whoever they want and in whatever time frame they want. How dumb can you beLooks 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.
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!
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?
No more indulging Barcalounger Commandos with talk of Radical Muslim yakkety yak....
LOL @ Flynn "Disaster"
Dems had to commit a felony to derail Flynn
Seditious Dems committed a felony in releasing his talks with a Russian to the NY Times
