BREAKING: President Trump RIPS the Senate GOP and Chuck Grassley for letting Democrats obstruct his appointment of US Attorney Alina Habba and others

*SEVEN* US Attorneys will have to quit soon because the GOP IS DOING NOTHING.

"If I put up GEORGE WASHINGTON [in] Virginia where you have Dem Senators, they won't approve him! This gentlemen's agreement [blue slip] has lasted TOO LONG. It means you can't appoint a GOP US Attorney!"

"In VA, NJ, CA, a US Attorney or judge...the only people you can get by are Democrats because they put a HOLD ON IT!"

"It only takes one senator! If they are Democrat, they won't approve it."

"All because GRASSLEY with his BLUE SLIP stuff won't let anybody go by! And by the way, Democrats have violated blue slip!"

They’re basically useless

NOW: HOT MIC catches President Trump RANTING that the Senate GOP is letting Democrats stonewall his US attorney appointees through the "blue slip" tradition x.com/i/status/19981…

"You know I CAN'T appoint anybody! Everybody I've appointed, their TIME has EXPIRED! Then they're in default, then we're losing..."

This is absolutely infuriating. Trump is right to be livid.

The duly-elected president is being obstructed not just by Democrats but by members of his own party!

Or, the system of checks and balances is (slightly) working as intended.

TERM LIMITS

Trump needs to propose it and have each one of those pieces of shite go on record voting against it.

Do you ever post anything of substance?

Or are you like trump, satisfied with mere name calling?

Why would an alter deserve anything but ridicule?

Why are blue slips so useful to you?

Get a list of gop candidates ready and as one term ends add the next one but make sure it is a well known list for everyone to see. 120 days it’s next man up and maybe have a 5-10 period prior to term limits for updating the successor

I am not an alter, I have no other username on this site.

Blue slips are just one way that the Senate can tell trump no. That is how the system is designed.

trump does not get everything that he wants. The same is true for every other President.

Telling trump no is a good thing, and it should happen much more than it has so far.
