Please pardon my spelling of foreign-based words. I'm a xenophobic white male who never learned German.

McConnell/GOP Will Approve ALL The Monsters. Hearings Are Meaningless.

I would be surprised if any of the cabinet nominations are rejected. Law and the Constitution mean nothing to the GOP since it has the power now. The nation will suffer for a long time because we had so many idiots who picked Trump.

Law and The Constitution mean nothing? You mean like turning your back on a duly elected president by not showing up at the inauguration?

The case was taken to the people in November. You lost.

Obama's inability to work with Congress is part of the reason that Hillary lost, not the other way around.

3. They'll approve them just to "win". They may even think they are not qualified, etc. but

winning and giving it to the Democrats is all that matters.
.

How many of Obama's nominations were rejected by Dems in 2008?

Minor correction there.  The freaking Congressional GOP practically broke themselves in two helping Obama.  They literally gave Obama more than he asked for in the last budget, for cryin' out loud!

Obama has had virtually no resistance from the GOP throughout his entire term.  He had every opportunity to work with Congress had he merely asked.  He never did.

I recall on the other hand that when the then-U.S. Senator from New York was interviewed for the Secretaryship of State, even the Republicans asked only softball questions.

They asked not a single question about foreign relations and foreign policy.

They instead asked really stupid stuff like if she was willing to give fringe-benefits to same-sex couples employees of the department.

The Obozo administration and lawmakers who enabled him the past eight years were not people who took government seriously.  It--we--were just a toy for them.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

By all means, please do!!!

If the Dems continue to scream and pout and obstruct enough and keep flipping the bird to the millions of good people who put Trump in the Whitehouse, what already promises to be a 2018 Senatorial bloodbath for the Dems might transform itself into an extinction level event.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.  :bird:

I started to read this screed and was wondering who on DU could be that ignorant. Then I looked at the author and it made sense. Donald Trump was elected President in compliance with the US Constitution; Donald Trump chose his nominees and submitted them to Congress for approval in compliance with the US Constitution; the Senate is performing their "advise and consent" in compliance with the US Constitution and the customary process that will culminate in an approval-rejection vote.

TMN simply hates Trump, everything about Trump, and anyone Trump would appoint ("down" to the level of assistant apprentice janitor). But TMN is disingenuously wrapping his hatred and bitterness in the Constitution, trying to smokescreen what even his few disciples and peers-in-hatred easily recognize.

You still insist on using that word which is one of the reasons you guys lost bigly in November.
Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

1. The first two year f preznnt Shit Midas the democrats locked republicans out, literally they were locked out of the room, from all legislation.

2. Thank Harry Reid, accused pederast, for nuking the long time tradition of 60 votes for judges and nominees.

So where are republicans involved in any of spittle laced insane rant of HopAlong's?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm pretty sure they're non-learners.  So much of this is a repeat of 2001 and 2005 that it's rather apparent to me that they didn't manage to learn a damn thing in the intervening sixteen years.
