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.
Right? McConnel has kinda always been the GOP’s fall guy in the senate. The one who takes all the heat for unpopular shit, when the entire party is actually on board. Donny probably just didn’t get the memo.
He got the memo, but he ate it before anyone was able to read it to him.
