McConnell moves to 'nuclear option' for confirmation of Trump nominees

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has set up debate next week to make it easier for Republicans to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominees.

The Kentucky Republican came to the floor Thursday afternoon to complain about the difficulty Republicans have faced confirming a variety of Trump nominees and announced that, “the Senate is going to do something about it.”

“It is not fair to the American people. The American people deserve the government they elected,” he said. “From an institutional perspective, as well all acknowledge, this is completely unsustainable.”

McConnell reiterated the concern expressed by other Republicans that the current process needs to change to avoid being repeated over the longer term.

I have a feeling! The damage they could do in the next two years. WOW! I hope i'm wrong.

3. McConnell will go Nuke.

Watch for this to happen in the next two or three weeks. Watch for their Daily Orders of Business for clues. Understand,Turtle is challenged each day as he opens the Senate.

7. McConnell will not seek reelection.

He and Cao will do what ever it takes to fatten their bank accounts at Taxpayer expense.

6. Don't they only need 50 votes plus Pence?

Can't McConnell get a majority for nominees? Heck, Trump can hardly even find people who want to work in his cabinet to nominate in the first place.

8. Look in the mirror Mitch

Was it fair when you did that to Obama's Nominees? Remember Merrick Garland? And the tons of other judges that you refused to put forward?

9. Why can't this evil fuck just drop dead??

I can’t wait for the day he does.
