As we were warned, Senator Thune is blocking President Trump from making recess appointments by conducting pro forma sessions. Is he really a Republican? We are seven months into Trump’s term, and he doesn’t have his judges and over a hundred of his key appointments.
McConnell went home early, and the die was cast.
What an absolute disgrace. Thune’s procedural games expose the swamp for what it is. They care about preserving their power and engaging in Senate gamesmanship while agencies are leaderless.
The President could have appointed some of his nominees during recess but Thune is going to hold pro forma sessions so he can’t.
Meanwhile 135 important positions are left unfilled. Are they trying to get Democrat Marxists elected?
These people are unaccountable and arrogant.

This guy is a complete fraud. We have 135 positions to fill. Thune isn’t fooling anyone.
As I’ve repeatedly said, Senate Republicans are ready to work as long as needed to confirm President Trump’s nominees. Nights. Weekends. Recesses. pic.twitter.com/yLl2hIo0pc

DELIVER US FROM EVIL
What can Trump do about it?
The enemy within is alive and well in the RINO encampment…
Thune is just another hide-bound Uniparty stalwart in it for the money and power. He will do whatever his masters command. Fitting that McConnell should be behind him.
thune is blocking the will of the american people, he is an ass, republicans will remove him from office for this treason
No they won’t. Republicans are tge root cause and the cancer that has destroyed our nation.
He’s one of those “Rainbow RINOS” like the “honorable” Lindsay Graham and in it for himself instead of America.
At this point Trump should just appoint his choices without the Senate’s approval. Trump has to fight unelected judges and incompetent SCOTUS. Just make the courts and the Senate stop you. We have your back.
