Trump's now complaining about his "Consultational" rights, and cursing Democrats like a child [View all]

C-Bo the Eggman @CBoTheEggman 3h
This is completely unhinged.

Trump claims to have a "Consultational" right, and tells Democrats to "go to HELL!"

The man is a raving lunatic.









“As a practical matter, the Senate’s not going to give up the blue slip,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, in an interview. “So my appeal to the president is: please reconsider. Why do we want to have this fight for nothing?”

There are roughly 150 nominees currently awaiting action on the Senate floor. Democrats are forcing Republicans to eat up floor time to overcome procedural hurdle nominees on even mid-level picks, sparking GOP frustration over not being able to clear those nominees via unanimous consent or voice votes.

“Republicans would like to return to those golden years when there were groups of nominees considered, but we weren’t given that courtesy by them,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, referring to the trickle of nominees confirmed under President Joe Biden.
