Summary
Donald Trump has publicly involved himself in the race for Senate Majority Leader, insisting that any Republican candidate for the role must support his demand for recess appointments, allowing him to bypass Senate confirmation for cabinet positions.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social emphasized the need for rapid appointments to avoid delays. GOP candidate Sen. Rick Scott endorsed Trump’s call, while opponent Sen. John Thune criticized it as a violation of the separation of powers.
Trump also calls on Democrats to halt judicial nominations during the lame duck session.

Let me put it this way: he doesn’t give a shit and neither do most of the rest of the Republican party.
Thune’s a rare exception.
Not most. Every single republican amd every person who stayed home is just fine with a person who tried to overthrow the government 4 years ago retaking the presidency. They’re all traitors.
Don’t forget 3rd party voters.

For your sake, I hope you’re right. We’re not sticking around to find out.

Again, for your sake, I hope you’re right.
Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of.

What the hell are you talking about??? We didn’t “pull through”. The south tried to leave the union, and we said “oh no you don’t, ya little shit!”
Yeah and it only took the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans fighting with muskets and cannons. I dread to think what a civil war would look like today

I haven’t seen much evidence of that. Quite the opposite, in fact.

When you leaving?
Before the end of January. I have the good fortune of dual citizenship.
Good luck, I’m hoping that I can get a worker’s visa through my employer to move to the UK myself.
Thanks. Good luck to you too!
Care to list some of the others? I could use some contextualization, cause this feels pretty fucking bad.
