Democrats Boycott, Delay Confirmation Hearings
Posted On 31 Jan 2017
Democrats, hoping to cast themselves as the party of the protesters in light of President Trump’s executive immigration ban, are fighting back against the administration by adding further delays to the confirmation of his Cabinet nominees.
Shortly after Trump fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to defend said order, Senate Democrats blew a gasket and decided to boycott several confirmation hearings altogether. The Senate Finance Committee was scheduled to vote on Steve Mnuchin for Treasury and Tom Price for HHS, but Democrats refused to show up. Republicans were forced to push the votes to Tuesday as a result of the other party’s prolonged tantrum.
Democrats also used the dramatic firing of Yates in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, where Sen. Jeff Sessions is being confirmed for attorney general. Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday that it “took guts” to defy the president as Yates had done and wondered openly whether Sessions would do the same.
“That statement said what an independent attorney general should do,” Feinstein said. “That statement took a steel spine to have the courage to say no. I have no confidence that Sen. Sessions will do that. Instead, he has been the fiercest, most dedicated and most loyal promoter in Congress of the Trump agenda.”
Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said Democrats had no justification for their actions.
“Some of this is just because they don’t like the president,” Hatch said. “I think they ought to stop posturing and acting like idiots.”
Sen. Pat Toomey agreed. “We did not inflict this kind of obstructionism on President Obama,” he said. “This is a completely unprecedented level of obstruction. This is not what the American people expect of the United States Senate.”
No, but Democrats are determined to make a spectacle of themselves to please all the leftists protesters gathered outside JFK airport. The race is on to see which of them can successfully break out and become a liberal star – the brave warrior who stood up to the mighty Trump. So they are pulling out all the stops, and they don’t care what kind of chaos erupts as a result.
And then, of course, they have the gall to tell us that Donald Trump is dividing America.
Republicans went ahead and confirmed both Sotomayor and Kagen to the SCOTUS. You would think the democrats would have enough courtesy to at least hear out Trump’s picks, before they through their tantrum like little babies and refused to vote, up or down, on the confirmation of the cabinet picks and Judge Gorsuch. I have no respect for the democrats who throw tantrums when they don’t get their way. In Obama’s words, “You lost, we won”.
Courtesy is a concept with which most democrats are unfamiliar!
Along with rational common sense thinking.
FOR DEMOCRATS, ….it is common to be SENSELESS!!!
Yes and I hope everyone of them in the Senate loses their seat come election time
AMEN!!!
Me too!
SADLY, we have a LOT of ‘Loony-Toons’ with voter cards that put them in office and continue to vote for them!!! ~ ONLY WHEN Americans that don’t want to be bothered with ‘politics’ get out and VOTE will the bums be defeated!
You got that right!
I agree with your statement as written. But I think we differ about who the “bums” are.
THE BUMS are the leftist-Marxist-‘progressive’ Democrats AND ….RINO traitors!
That is your opinion. Are you able to describe in a little more detail the characteristics of these bums? Can you tell me what they have in common so that you can include them all under the same label?
Can you articulate (silly question) what makes a RINO a traitor?
IF YOU don’t know for yourself, especially after 8 years on the Obozo circus train, then I damn sure am not going to waste my time typing a tome for your personal benefit, my friend. It is apparent that there were enough people wise enough to put a REAL American into the White House, thus why waste time trying to educate the….losers!
So, no you can’t.
CHANGE “can’t” to won’t and you’ll have it right! …Good night!
Elizabeth is trying to illicit a reason for several items. If she would watch FOX News it would help her to arrive at reasonable conclusion. This way, when you protest, you will be informed, not yelling obscenities and yelling….Down with UP!
She is a troll…oh I just told her lib-retard butt off! She will not listen because she..is a idiot! God bless America and the 82nd Airborne!
One trait is not being in touch with the reality that they lost the election…and think they have power! They think that if they act bad ENOUGH …it will change reality…won’t happen. As a a matter of fact…they more they exhibit bad behavior..the worse their situation will become…they hurt their own cause!!!
Yes, the Democrats lost. Why they lost will be argued for many years to come.
But Trump did not win a mandate. More people voted against him than voted for him.
His supporters are convinced that he is going to make America great again, whatever that means.You seem to be one of them, so let me ask you, what is Donald Trump going to do to make America great for you? How is your life going to be better?
I told you about you idiots inability to face reality…did I not? Look what happened today with Devos…democrats lost again…and will continue to lose! The left believes that it can riot and destroy their way to a majority? This only demonstrate their immaturity and will result in even less power…I therefore do hope they continue their rude and self destructive behavior! They do not control the White house, the Senate, the house and only 16 governorship and about the same in state assemblies! In other words, the democrats..have “screwed the pouch”! I would definitely call this a Total Mandate! As far as the popular vote…who cares? Our electoral processes were set up by very smart Founding Fathers ..and worked as designed!!! So …the popular vote was won by Crooked Hillary with the help of non citizen voters…and don’t say it didn’t because it did… and does…I am Spanish speaking and was born and raised 90 miles from the Mexican border…and have seen them voting! NOW….IDIOT THAT IS REALITY!!! You can go back to your fantasy!!! Please don’t bother me again or I will ban your idiot arse!!! God bless America and the 82nd Airborne
I told you not to bother me with God stupidity BANNED
I agree with you,I hope everyone of them loses ,I have never seen a bunch of Nuts!!
Don’t bank on it lady.
You know them well!
Not at all. Democommies play to win. Republicans lack the balls to do so.
STAY TUNED, my friend,….times are changing!!!
You don’t watch the news much, do you?
Probably more than yourself, Elizabeth. What changes do you see in Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the RINO old guard that I’ve missed?
I just hope that in 2018 and 2020 that people will remember just how the democrats have acted in 2017 and vote out any democrat that is runing.
Gorsuch is obviously not a homosexual nor a lesbian two of the democRAT parties favorite groups.
Nor a COMMUNIST.
Democrats know nothing about courtesy unless they are the ones being derided then it becomes one of the first things they whine about, this used to be called two faced insincerity. But now it only called that when referring to someone who does not agree with their socialistic,liberal idea of what is right and how things should be done. It looks more each day as if our country will either suffer complete disintegration or there will be another civil war.
Whether it’s a 2nd “civil war” or the 2nd American Revolution will be determined by which side wins;-)
The Communist Liberals would be totally destroyed if the MSM started reporting the truth, but do not count on that happening soon. The MSM is the cheer-leading section of the Socialist Democrat Party. The MSM go out of there way to make heroes out of the Communist destroying the country.
Just listen to yourself. Have you actually thought about what you are saying? Do you have the first clue about what communists or socialists espouse? Can you begin to say why that is wrong?
What is it these mostly imaginary people are destroying? Could you name a single Communist Liberal or Socialist Democrat?
Have you ever spoken to anyone who is not a rabid conservative? Have you thought about what it is that you are “conserving”?
I believe, if you were paying attention, Bernie was advocating free college, national single-pay healthcare and he loves the communist so well that he and his wife honeymooned in Russia. Then as the election was winding down and President Trump was winning, he turned coat and joined Crooked Hillary. If you need to be informed about the “Imaginary” people destroying America, Then you are really, OUT OF TOUCH with reality!
I think it is entirely possible that our country will suffer complete disintegration, and something approaching civil war is not unlikely.
But you cannot blame it entirely on the Democrats any more than I can blame it entirely on the Republicans, not least because each party has not much more than 30% of registered voters. The largest bloc is independents like me.
The deep division in this country comes from extremists putting a blanket label on anyone who disagrees with them, or may be seen to disagree with them. Except for the level of violence, there is very little difference between extremist Muslims, fundamental Christians, radical conservatives, white supremacists and militant socialists.
Wow are you out there in your opinions lumping fundamental Christians in with Muslims of any kind, most especially since Islam,Muslimism is a Satanistic cult which cannot undef any circumstances be called a religion. Of course one must know something about Mohamed’s teachings as enumerated in the Quran and the many Hadith’s , then there is your assertion about white supremacists etc.etc., one would suppose from your comment that you fail to see how far down the road to perdition our previous so called president and his divise rhetoric along with that of his cronies has taken our beloved country.
What part of your beliefs are independent? you expouse the same talking points as the leftist that march day after day.
It’s time for the nuclear option, vote without Democrat participation and give Pres. Trump his Extremely well qualified Candidate for the Supreme Court!
When they start to complain, ignore them. The Demogogs have demonstrated that they are not interested in the Law, only their own self-serving actions!
I thought of that, but, only if Gorsuch doesn’t get the 60 votes needed. BTW, Semper Fi, fellow veteran. (I was army)
Thanks for your Service as well, ChiefD!
Same for me ChiefD……A Fellow Veteran (Air Force)
Me too Air Force 69 to 76!
Thanks for your service, Chief… We all gave some, some gave all.
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHIEF, Veteran US NAVY.
Semper Fi, Bro! We may be needing our training and combat experience if the Democommies continue their “protests”. Remembering well how we were treated when returning from ‘Nam, all I can say is PBIMF. What they start, we’ll finish this time. It’s been a long time coming;-)
I hope and pray it doesn’t come to that but ……………… My powder is dry!
You ain’t alone
Sorry to be repetitive, but the Republican controlled Senate refused to even grant a hearing to President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court. He, too, was extremely well qualified.
Check your history lady. As it has been in the past, an agreement was made that any openings in the Supreme Court in the final year of a presidents term would be defered to the incoming president
Really? Where did it (history) say that?
It is not a written law, it was an agreement within the Senate just like the 60 votes required until Harry Reid broke it.
No. it was not an agreement;
it seems to have been an idea dreamed up by Strom Thurmond, and promoted by Marco Rubio.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/feb/14/marco-rubio/do-presidents-stop-nominating-judges-final-year/
As you’ve stated, “You Don’t Watch The News, Do You” ! The Vice President Biden, Schummer and a host of others. They explicitly stated that ” The electors should chose the next administration and give him or her the right to nominate a person that supports their agenda”.
That is when they thought Billery would win. It all changed when Trup wiped the floor with her a__
“Courtesy” is BS. One might hope that Republicrats will learn the lesson that Democommies treat governing like war while they treat it like a colleagial game of bridge. Do damage to your enemy whenever there is a chance to do so or, ultimately, your enemy will do you in.
You would think that the Senate would have “enough courtesy” to at least meet with President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court.
I have little respect for hypocrites.
Democrats are not patriots, not anymore!
Not at all…..
The democrat party has been taken over by extreme alt left anarchists, and they are clueless on how to fix anything and it started when Obama took over as President and bringing in all yes men so he had zero people telling him he was on the wrong track. In his foreign agenda he did not listen to his military experts and did the opposite of what they told him. He got rid of all Generals, Admirals that did not agree with his agenda. Obama is going to be voted the worse President in our history and actually he was a traitor giving Iran everything they wanted who is the world leader of terrorists.
Spot ON!!
Well put. That black BASTARD did everything he could to destroy this country.
Irvan, after Obama was elected to his FIRST term BUT BEFORE he took office that January, I told my friends that I believe he hates America and what better way to try to bring us down than to become our President. Believe that I was not wrong.
Oops, half black. Mother was white??
Before you come at me, I did vote you up!
YOU hit the nail on the head with a big hammer. You drove the nail all the way through the wood. Way to GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……. GOOD POST!!!!!
I agree with you. I believe he hates this country. And his sending all that CASH to Iran—our money, not his. Have you ever heard of such a thing as sending that much cash via airplane to Iran? Or to anyone?
He also gave money to the Palestineans 2 hours before he left the WH while Trump was getting sworn in.
You mean V. Jarrett
The Democratic Party is DEAD, no matter what the left or the MSM think or say. Liberals killed it by crapping on the Constitution and ignoring our laws and they are in the process of making sure it cannot be revived in any of our lifetimes. Liberals lost the White House, both Houses of the US Congress, most of the State Governments and they are going to eventually lose the Supreme Court, regardless of what the lying crying Senator Schumer said! Liberals reappointed Nancy Pelosi as House Minority leader, some Liberals are working hard to get Keith Ellison (a RADICAL RACIST AMERICA HATING MUSLIM) appointed as head of the National Communist Democratic Party. Liberals have twenty two Democratic Senators up for reelection in the mid-term elections in 2018. Many of these Senators are in states that President Trump easily won. It appears that after these elections the Democratic Party will be even more DEAD than it is now! With 65 to 70 of the 100 Senate seats filled by Republicans after the 2018 elections We will only have RINOs to worry about. Liberalism is what smart looks like to stupid people!
Let’s just start with the fact that the deal with Iran was between that country, the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the European Union. The UN Security Council consists of the US, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China, with Germany as a sort of honorary member. Those countries (not counting the US) represent more than one-fifth of the people on earth. It was not Obama’s deal.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY is nothing more than an extension of …The Communist Party USA!!!
When were they ever???
Perhaps 1940 to 1963?
Many are not even Americans.
…but they vote Democratic!
Yep! You’ve put your finger on the problem.
What makes you say that?
The name should be changed to damn-a-craps, they just don’t still understand THEY LOST.
I prefer the name demoncrates.
IRENE S.C.
We now know that the Democrats are for their own selves not no one else. If they really cared then this show that they’er putting on now would not be.
If Calipornia cedes from America, the Federal government will save over $6 Hundred Billion Taxpayers Dollars on their funded allotments.. The debt will spend down very quickly.. Perhaps they can make Eric Holder as their Commander & Chief..
maybe then we could declare war on them and blow them to hell
AMEN!!!
Naw, just build a wall, take the Colorado River water from them, make any who want to visit the US have a visa.
It sure as hell works for me!!! GREAT POST!!
I thought two-year olds were not allowed in Congress!
Don’t blame the people for voting them in, they didn’t know they were two year old until now.
Guess we found out differently, UH?
Communist DEMONicRATS have been all out to destroy our country for well over 8 years as well as some rinos! It’s no surprise that they are still acting like a bunch of 4 & 5 year olds. After all,they are only doing what obozo ordered them to do! It’s way past time for them to come to the realization that obozo isn’t in the seat as potus anymore!!!!!
In their mind, he still is.He will not keep his mouth shut and just go away. He is currently praising the protesters
Golf courses must currently be closed for some reason ……
He has No Class . The other presidents go away and live their private lives . He’s just a miserable moron who thinks his staying involved will help their clueless case , but we all can hear his Lies over and over and just want him gone ! He screwed over Us Americans and after a costly lesson we know better than to ever repeate that mistake ! He was largely elected only because he was black and a good liar at first ! Personally he Never got my vote .
Beg to differ. It has lots of class… all of it Lower.
Amen to that Billy. This all started when Obama** was elected, needless to say by FRAUD votes from that evil Soros, who has admitted he was responsible. He loves to take credit to build up his ego.
We need to start fining the rioters for the cost of the damage they do. They will find out SOROS won’t pay for it.
If they are not US citizens , just take them out and SHOOT them. That is the only way to STOP them for sure.
Unfortunately, the Democratic party sees that much of their liberal agenda will evaporate under a Trump administration, as it should. They used parliamentary games, bribed congressmen, and flat out lied to citizens to get Obamacare enacted. They allowed Obama to use executive actions to re-interpret existing laws to further other action in other areas and totally ignored the word and intent of our Constitution. The result is their loss of both the House and Senate, the majority of governorships, and any chance of a liberal President getting elected in the past election. Now, they refuse to participate in government, preferring to rely on obstructionism and Soros and other well heeled globalist to fund demonstrations by destructive idiots to try save their dream. The American people are fed up and will continue to kick them out of office (whether Democrat or Republican) until they honor their oath of office and adhere to the intent and principles of the Constitution as defined by our founding fathers. We are a democratic republic and a government by the people for the people and should not tolerate the unethical, the liars, or the crooks in any government office.
There all scared of Sessions because there all crooked. Also Soros owns obama and he’s in charge of the libtards, so they do what there told to do. It’s all designed to bring this country down at any cost. There losing power ever day and hopefully in two years we can vote them all out of office and they’ll be history.
It would be nice but you have to remember evil never goes away. Liberals have twenty two Democratic Senators up for reelection in the mid-term elections in 2018. Many of these Senators are in states that President Trump easily won. It means that after these elections the Democratic Party will be even more DEAD than it is now! With 65 to 70 of the 100 Senate seats filled by Republicans after the 2018. All because of this Liberal crap, People are tired of politics and just want the mess in Washington cleaned up. That is why they voted for Trump. But the left and their buddies in the Media do not have a clue and they never will. They want to destroy our unfair Republic and build a Democratic Socialist Utopia thanks to George Soros
Ditto
about time that Soros the NAZI COLLABORATOR who turned in his fellow jews to the GESTAPO
and for the past years has done his best to control WHO Americans vote for,with his filthy money
and he is STILL doing it,funding all these idiots who are Rioting,Burning,Looting,blacking freeways.
beating up ANYONE who disagrees with them. HE should be DEPORTED TO HUNGARY<WHO WOULD LOVE TO GET HOLD OF THIS TRAITOR
How right you are.
You need to go back to school and learn how to spell….i.e. THEY ARE rather than “THERE”.
Appreciate the English class ahole. At least we know your paying attention. As long as you’re listening you may learn something educational but it’s doubtful.
Not from you anyway………DICKHEAD
Take it easy, I’m on your side. I was only joking.
BULL SH**
Just let them keep boycotting Trumps Cabinet picks. At the next election, the people will boycott them.
Garnish the dem boycotter’s wages! Do you know after 4 years in legislation these boycotters get full pensions? That is between $100,000 – $200,000 a year of taxpayer’s money for doing a shitty job! I cringe to think what retirement-for-life the career legislators get! The American people are not being informed of the real fraud in Washington! Also, the insider information these legislators get make them millionaires – ‘Drain the Swamp’ is not a frivolous phrase – stop this $ drain on our economy!
We can take this a step farther, Senators can be Censured. It will not eject them from Congress but it would remove them from any committees. This was done to Senator McCarthy back in the 50s. It takes a simple majority vote to Censure a Senator. So far no censured Senator ha ever won reelection, this could be used as sa form of term limits so to speak. Censure them for what you ask? How about not fulfilling their duties of office by not showing up for required actions. They can still show up and say nothing if they wish but they cannot just stay away.
They remind me of the numb nutted idiot Dem congressmen from Wisconsin, who ran to Chicago to avoid voting on legislation. It went through anyway and they continue to lose seats in the Wisconsin legislature, just like they will on a national level. Dipsticks, one and all.
The progressives are enemies of the state, making laws that are contrary to the laws of God, giving themselves a pass, believing in progressive ideology, i.e. legalizing sin, including, revising the original intent of the constitution, to conform to their modern-anti-God ideology, has lead America into the dark-ages. This is the same anti-God sentiment that caused the destruction of the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah, and those that existed in the days of Noah. And now that we have a president who wants to bring America back from the Dark-Ages, but the enemy from within continues to resist: and you can take all those unscrupulous, multi-marriage Jezebels in Hollywood, along with our progressive politicians, and throw them in the garbage-can where they belong. We must support Trumps effort to bring America back to its former glory before it’s too late!
These dumbocrats prove only one thing. They will do anything to keep destroying our country along Obama’;s agenda. Guess what, many of those same idiots will be up for re-election and what will happen in the end is the Republicans will gain more and more seats giving them total control while they play their endless game of blocking any future progress for the country. I thought once we got rid of the head blocker Harry Reid things might get better but they are still too stupid to realize the damage they are doing because their favorite Bit-ch didn’t get her THRONE. Time you butt head get your heads out of the sand and leave the payoffs and bribes aside. If you don’t, this country will never see another DUMBOCRATIC PRESIDENT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. So, I say, stop being obstructionist get off your fat butts and do the job your being overpaid to do.
Debbie Stabenow, Gary Peters, show up for work and do your job. Confirm the appointments and stop representing democrats special interests only.
I just wish for once those RINOs would just use the Nuclear option and show the democrats that they are not in charge anymore. Karma is a mother!
The far left is driving the bus right over the cliff. OK with me.
AMERICA FIRST!
No question. Stupidity reigns in the halls of government. What next?
what can I say, if they won’t do their job then they need to be declared unacceptable and barred from any further proceedings. that means their states will have to hold an election to replace them. there are a few republicans who need to be replaced as well.
The democRAT politicians and other liberals never mature much past 12 0r 13 years of age mentally. That’s why they always act so childishly.
“it “took guts” to defy the president as Yates had don”
We have a saying where I come from: “More BALLS than BRAINS!”
We the people who actually love our country have to try and remember that the reason so many career politicans no matter their political affiliation are against our new President is because he is not one of them, and that his desire is to put our nation back on its feet after 8 yrs of divisive governance by a person who cared nothing about it. Then you have to take into account the fact that a huge amount of those who live in the U.S.A. whether actual citizens and illegals or so called refugees are against that because it might interfere with their feeding from the taxpayer funded troughs which are every level of this nations Federal and State governments.
There acting their age. What is it about eight. Our government DUMMIES is not to run that way. Wake up You lost this election and are doing a GREAT job to lose the next one. HOPEFULLY. The people spoke you are no longer viable. REMEMBER you are suppose to represent the people what you think doesn’t count. You FORCED obama care on us now you are PAYING the price, and hopefully it will continue. You know it is NO GOOD if it where you and obama would be on it, RIGHT. You seem to forget one of our CORE values is we are all EQUAL under the LAW????? Get back to democracy THROW away your socialist instruction book. There is no longer a true Democratic From a third Generation Harry Truman Democrat.
It’s good the Democrats are GOOFY & SILLY like that because they keep it up a couple more times & out they go. We the People do not NEED those kind of democrats in any part of the government. I’d have each one served papers as soon as the law allows & get them out of office, the QUICKER the better our Donald J Trump movement can continue!!!!! hey Democrats We the People WILL win again & again without you! your FIRED!
THE HIPPIES & POT-HEADS of yesterday are what makes-up the majority of Democrats today!!!
Exactly, it started in the sixties and since then these Potheads children are existing on the same principles. I am of the opinion that the drug industry has been supported long enough and and it will take a major change such as rehab 1TIME with use of health insurance, then if you return to your drugs the insurance will not be used and it will be their responsibility to pay for their own rehab, I grew up to believe that we should be responsible for our actions and if we make a bad choice, correct it if possible, or continue to make the same choices at your own risk.
IF THE DEMOCRATS refuse to show-up for any confirmation vote…..JUST COUNT THEM OUT and go with who is present even if they are ALL Republicans!!! (THAT will surely STOP their BS tactics!)
Face it People many of these so called Senators are not a pimple on any good Senators Backside. They are totally Corrupt Politicians who only Want a Government OF the Corrupt Politician FOR the Corrupt Politician and BY the Corrupt Politician with the worse of all the Corrupt Politician Schumer leading the pack of the most Corrupt. For these slime only care about them self and the hell with the People.
If they don’t do the job they were voted in to do, then each day they lay out, no pay, no benefits, heck can they be suspended without pay???? This is the biggest bunch of cry baby losers I have ever seen in my life! What an embarrassment to our country. And, what a poor example to our youth.
American liberals fighting American republicans. Whose side will you be on when the terrorists start fighting Americas here>?
Lacking any substantive objections to these nominees. These immature idiots throw a childish temper tantrum, and become Welfare recipients! They are in effect then being paid to do nothing!
The blame for this action lies with the American voter. It is the American voter that drew the conclusion they were voting for adults. They ended up voting for petulant children. Temper tantrums are not the actions of adults. Considering the sit-in last fall and the current Democratic party actions, I can draw no other conclusions.
Send the damn democrates out to see me as I need more practice kicking some more no good asses
The democrates noses are so brown you can’t decide what country they are from probably some where in Kenya would be my quess
The Democrats have been, and continue, their obstructionist ways that the American People decided in November would be for change. Now they are in the minority they can’t just can’t accept that President Trump is carrying out his campaign promises (How Refreshing). It seems the Democrats still believe they are in charge and Dirty Harry, which refused to bring bills to the Senate for a up or down vote. It will be very interesting to see the results of the next election. The Democrats don’t have many more seats to lose but I’m betting that they will lose more.
Eventually they will go on recess and Trump will have the opportunity to appoint a few without their help. I hope he has a few up his sleeve they will really hate. He woks fast and can put several down in a day if I don’t miss my guess. If these Democrat’s want to be part of the process they need to get moving because with all this delay many in the American public will cheer multiple appointments by Trump and laugh at the Democrats for their childish behavior. I hope you children wake up, stop your pouting and do your jobs now.
Back when obama & the democrats had all of the power obama told the republican members of congress to “get to the back of the bus”. Now that those democrats are no longer in power (by the decision of the voters) the democrats must have decided to get to the back of the bus by their own decision. Or perhaps they have decided to get off the bus entirely?
Let’s just jam everything down the throat of these Liberal antarchists !! Respect our vote!! the Democrats have Failed and are further alienating themselves with this action
Just like the children they are. I use to be a stanch democrat, but, since LBJ I have changed my allegiance to the independent’s.
just make a rule,that if they do not show up to vote,it will be an AUTOMATIC YES
they will crawl in ,on their death beds to oppose anything the Republicans want.
as she said that because she was an Obama appointee, and could only say it was unwise not illegal
Just use the nuclear option, the demoRATS are a pathetic bunch anyway.
Left pick up your toys go home to mommy and cry to her if she willing to listen Then ask how her welfare benefits and social security is letting her compain againstall the right wings paying for them cause you wouldn’t strike a lick at s snake if it was gonna bite you. Someone has to come help. I don’t have enough sense to protect myself
Thank you Ron – I had forgotten about the censure – wish we could start a petition on Change.org & get signatures on the boycotters! How does the censure begin & progress?
My prayer for each one of these democrat politicians is, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” Psalm 109:8
What a bunch of sore losers.
Democrats BEWARE! You forgot all about the people that you are supposed to work for, you lost touch with the average American citizen. Now your idiotic, childish tantrums and actions against your President. Remember well all these things and the delays on confirmations. You are not doing what the America people want, YOUR ARE DOING PARTY BULLSHIT. Your days of bullshitting your work base to allowing any and everything in immigration, (just for votes) is deplorable, your party stance against what your voting base wants in unconscionable, your ability to differentiate between right and wrong is unacceptable, and your ignorance in putting HILLARY up for President is just plain stupid with all the baggage she carried and carries. FORGET ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS LOST because of you and crooked Hillary, try a new approach, try something for America and something your base wants. We are not mindless things, we are people wanting to be heard. I and millions are watching you and next election if you don’t change your ways toward the American people, there are a lot of us willing to trash the Democrat party by helping Republicans elected and outing all those party Democrats. THINK, THINK, THINK, OR YOU WILL BE THE LOSERS.
The Democrats have cornered hypocracy
May God Almighty judge these foolish people who are openly attempting to divide and destroy this once great nation that God raised up over two hundred years ago! Not one of them believes in God nor fears His intervention! When they stand in judgment, they will have no one to blame but themselves! They are fools and cowards!
stop paying them if they arent working

Happiness would be to see recall elections being brought in those red states in which their constitutions permit such actions. If even one or two recalls were brought, regardless of outcome, we would have attained the attention of these lawless lawmakers.
ne other comment: it is the Democrat party, not the Democratic Party. The media slipped that lie in on us.
What a bunch of fake phony disgusting maggots (demoncRATS that is).
What else could reasonable people expect from a group of mentally deranged retards that belong in an insane asylum—–or prison.
It’s ok though, the dirty dem’s are actually digging their own grave. Thank God. Will be interesting to watch them disappear into nothingness. Will sadly take a little time—–be patient good people!
Since the democrats are boycotting the confirmations, they are not doing what they were elected to do, THEIR JOBS. Therefore, they should NOT get a paycheck. Granted that won’t mean anything to them, since they are all wealthy anyway, but it would show to the United States who cares about the country who cares about the citizens, who is an HONEST political representative and who is a fraudulent THIEF.
I was just thinking (and posting elsewhere) this *exact* same message. If any “regular, everyday” American pulled that crap we’d be FIRED, period.
President Trump is accomplishing many things even though the Democrats have tied his hands behind his back by denying him his Administrators. Now we all know what kind of fools they are!
A dem boycott by another name is just an “asshole convention”!
Father Trump needs to treat these mofoe vermin like they treated Scalia.
In the mean time the chance of a person or and group of people planning harm to our country have the time they need to plan and board their flights to our country with lots of spending money from Iran, provided by President Obama. How long until they arrive, set up or form sleeper cells and wait for the big day, which day? ISIS for one has people trained and so dose Hamas. How many other organizations in those countries that Obama knew posed a danger so he gave the list to President Trump to act on and our court’s have stopped him. Whose responsible for anything that goes wrong this time? Personally I am looking at a Judge in Washington State and the Democratic member’s of Congress who for political reasons are slowing down the people who could be helping our chosen President do a better job securing our country, either by how he implements policy or by putting out better policy. Congress, the Democratic half, has let us down as a country. And our media is supporting this effort!
Don’t forget to add in the RINO repubs also
Give me a break. My fingers talk too much as it is. Once this digits get to moving they don’t know when to shut up? Er. stop moving? OK we can include the RINO’s too but not the Irish.
Maybe they should resign if they are scared to show up
Since the election of Barack Obama: Social Democrat community organizer protests have continued to increase, along with the Marxist revolutionaly violence that ensues. His association with a Communist Professor at Harvard, had much to do with shaping his Global World Views. As a Community Organizer in Chicago, Obama was able to promote his Social Democrat revolutionary views.
With the election of Donald Trump as President, Social Democrat organizers, continue to spread their radical Marxist / Social propaganda. An agenda focused on the destruction of the United States, it’s Constitution, and it’s Capitalist System, along with eliminating God from it’s society. The fact that the United States is a Constitutional Republic, the Social Democrat are warring against our Republican President Donald Trump, in an effort to destroy his Presidency and the Republican Party.
This conflict is directly related to President Trump’s staunch Republican ideology, and his desire to see the American people free and prosperous. Whether they know it or not, the Social Democrat is promoting a tyrannical society having little if any freedom. Social Equality as in the Soviet Union, is a classless system of government in which ownership of property etc. Belongs to the govt. Ones hourly wages are such that ownership of a fine car belongs to govt. Officials.
President Trump is certainly a blessing from the Lord, and we must support him at all cost.
Vote OUT ALL DEMOCRATS as their reelections come up . We The People Will Take Back Our White House with Trump as Commander In Chief . They will be voted out one by one . The People will have the last laugh !
And another thing , Trump will clean up all the voting rosters and Hopefuuly implement restrictions to prevent voter fraud the dems have profited from for too long !
They should be held accountable. Hypocrisy is an ugly thing and these clowns have shown that right along with the so called Republican R I N O’s need to be voted out of office. It’s obvious that it’s all politics and not for America. I hope old George Soros is happy with the malcontents that he’s spawned in the country.
They are acting like idiots…because they are IDIOTS!!!God bless America and the 82nd Airborne!!!
Who are acting like idiots?
Senator Orin Hatch described the democrats as acting like idiots….so that is why I stated what I did!
Aah. I get it now. Democrats are idiots because Orrin Hatch said so. Could you come up with a reason of your own why Democrats (each and every one, mind you) are idiots?
Elizabeth, I’m afraid that I would never live long enough to be able to complete your list! The top of the list is that they are like spoiled children that never want to listen to anyone but themselves ! They are “right ” and they rebel against reality…sorry that is not the way the world works!!!
Forgive me if you get two replies, but I cannot see the one from yesterday.
Do you always let Orrin Hatch do your thinking for you? Can you explain just how the Democrats are acting as idiots? All of them?
Are they behaving in a way that no Republican ever has?
They Can’t complehedn the fact that they lost, and we the people, don’t want the “welfare mentality” in power. This is how the Left “throws a temper tantrum”.
Fortunately, “you the people” are in the minority.
*Psssst*… You LOST! It’s time to quit sucking your thumb and move on to adulthood. Try it, you’ll like it!
I can hardly believe what I am reading. Those nasty, childish Democrats are trying to delay hearings in the Senate.
“We did not inflict this kind of obstructionism on President Obama,” (Sen. Toomey)
said. “This is a completely unprecedented level of obstruction.”
Quite apart from leaving the Supreme Court one man short for the best part of a year, there are currently 118 judicial positions open, many going back to 2013. Now I am sure that some will say Obama just wasn’t trying, others (https://www.law360.com/articles/842954/district-court-vacancies-way-up-under-obama-report-says) hint that many nominees – like Garland – have never even been granted a hearing.
It seems to me there is a double standard here: it’s fine if we do it, but if “they” do it is is obstructionist, unpatriotic, and possibly even unconstitutional.
Poor babies, They still don’t understand, the reason they lost was because they act like a bunch of 4 year old brats. People want someone who at least acts like an adult and thinks like an adult. Maybe they will start growing up after the next mid-term election.
If they can’t or won’t do their jobs then they need to be removed from employment. Whether it’s private company or public “servant” , congress, senate whatever.
This whole thing has become a dark comedy. Anyone watching the confirmation hearings are subjected to democrats asking question that have more to do with their agenda than the qualifications of the nominee. Why, for instance, a nominees stance on climate change an issue if his department has nothing to do with climate? Or why is school vouchers an issue when it has been a favorite issue of other presidents? And why is the appointment of Judge Gorsuch such an issue when he won huge support from the democrats when nominated for his current position?
The democrats seem more interested in destroying our system of government out of spite over Clinton not winning the election than concern for the continuation of our form of government.
They are the laughing stock, have lost all respect from the people, will not get elected again.
COULD THEY BE TRYING TO DESTROY AMERICA. IT SURE SEEMS SO.
PRAY THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN, BUT GET READY, PRESIDENT TRUMP, BE VERY CAREFUL, WE HAVE WORKED TO HARD TO LOSE YOU NOW. FIRE EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH OBAMA.
