Summary
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly warned that there will be no recess appointments, directly opposing Donald Trump’s plan to bypass Senate confirmation for controversial cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz has faced allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct.
McConnell’s stance sparked widespread discussion about a looming constitutional showdown.
Critics argue recess appointments could undermine Senate authority and pose national security risks.
Observers question McConnell’s influence, noting potential leadership changes, while others see this as a critical test of Senate integrity against Trump-aligned Republicans.
We can only hope for incompetence, the real danger is a malicious and competent appointment.
Fair point, however, incompetency at Secetary of Homeland, for instance, makes you less safe.
Incompetence in Trumps first term usually led to not much being done and retention of the status quo.
I said it was a fair point.
I also said there were exceptions.
You are correct in both points.
