How the GOP Plans to Crush Democratic Opposition

[DonViejo]

January 4, 2017By Taegan Goddard

Politico: “Senate Republicans have a plan to break the Democratic resistance to Donald Trump’s Cabinet: Make their delay tactics as excruciating as possible. With Senate Democrats threatening to drag out the confirmation process for weeks, the GOP is preparing to keep the chamber running around the clock if that’s what it takes to speedily confirm Trump’s cabinet. It’s the kind of retaliatory strategy that will bring all-night sessions, 3 a.m. votes and a long slog through the first months of Trump’s presidency that could sap some of the GOP’s legislative momentum. Sen. John Thune, the No. 3 Senate Republican, said the GOP will do ‘whatever it takes’ to get Trump his team as quickly as possible.”

1. Yeah we'll see. They barely stay in session at all

and do almost nothing - and that dates back to the W years.

2. I have severe doubts most Republicans are that keen to support Trump.

The Billionaire cabinet is another story that they will get behind.

3. And so, you hypocritical GOP pieces of shit...

..."...‘whatever it takes’ to get Trump his team as quickly as possible," but when it came to the approving the LEGAL AND LAWFUL choice of the 44th POTUS, Barrack Obama, for the SCOTUS, if was STALL, OBSTRUCT AND DELAY as much as possible?

Fucking assholes. Time for the guillotines.

4. LOL those guys haven't put in a full work week in decades

Like they're going to stick with long extended hours.

5. That is a tactic that would be harder on milquetoast Republicans than Democrats.

They're all talk and no guts.

6. The GOP won't work a 5 hour day in Congress but now they're going all night long? What blue pill

did they take?

7. Bring it on. Democrats have shown they're willing to stay on the floor for as long as it takes.

Other than Ted Cruz, how many republicans have actually spent more than 6 hours in the chamber when Congress is in session? For them, there's always a lunch or lobbyist to do business with that has a higher priority than doing the job their constituents were conned into electing them to do.
