Democratic Party obstruction has begun

Senate Democrats work to delay speedy confirmation of Trump nominees​

Washington — Senate Republicans are trudging through the process to confirm President Trump's picks for his Cabinet and top administration posts, facing delays by Democrats who are pushing back on their speedy approval.​

​

Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture on John Ratcliffe's nomination for CIA director, Kristi Noem's nomination for Homeland Security Secretary and Pete Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary on Tuesday. But Democrats forced procedural maneuvers to stall the nominations' consideration, prompting a tense scene on the Senate floor late Tuesday.​

​

"Now we're not going to have a vote today, and apparently we're not going to have a vote tomorrow," Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said after Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy objected to a time agreement that would have allowed the Senate to vote on Ratcliffe's nomination Tuesday night. "Which means I hope nobody's making any plans for the weekend."​

Every Senator should be horrified at the ever expanding revelations about Hegseth.
Ethics first, politics second.

Why?

Presidents aren't nominating saints who did no wrong in their past.

Are you surprised? That is their MO...

And yet adulterous murderous David was a man after God's own heart.

How could that happen?

David acknowledged his sin and REPENTED!

 

[Clare73]

David acknowledged his sin and REPENTED!

Repent = to turn from unbelief and sin to belief and obedience.

And Hegseth is now a believer in Jesus Christ. . .or did you not know that?

Only he and God really know about that.

They are simply sealing their fate in the landslide win against them. . .

 

[Clare73]

Only he and God really know about that.

Unless he, Hegseth, has reported it, and now we also know about it.

People lie all the time to get preferred treatment from others.

What the rest of us (besides God and himself) have is a record of speech and behavior. Perhaps Hegseth has behaved decently for a good while now?

If you don't know, perhaps you should not comment. . .

I want the people making this decision to know. I should definitely comment in the manner I have been so far.

Perhaps you should comment on all the facts. . .

Perhaps you should comment on all the facts. . .

Perhaps you should comment more on the facts, and less about me.

 

[Clare73]

Perhaps you should comment more on the facts, and less about me.

Hmmm. . .dishes it out, but can't take it.

That you said what you did is likewise a fact.

 

[durangodawood]

dishes it out

Im sorry if I offended you. Perhaps I was I bit harsh.

 

[Clare73]

Im sorry if I offended you. Perhaps I was I bit harsh.

Actually, you were a bit incomplete. . .half truth and not whole truth.

 

[iluvatar5150]

Took 'em long enough. Trump's been in office for two days already.

 

[Pommer]

I think that the Democrats should rubber-stamp any/all of Donald Trump’s nominees and let the chips fall where they may.
