Senate Republicans Won’t Work 5 Days A Week To Confirm Trump’s Key Nominees
Rachel Bovard


The first American-born pope, Leo XIV, celebrated his inaugural Mass on Sunday in St. Peter’s Square before a large crowd that included Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, two prominent Catholics in the Trump administration. Missing, however, was our country’s official envoy. When the new pope met with the Vatican’s diplomatic corps on Friday, America’s ambassador wasn’t there. We don’t have one right now.

Brian Burch has been nominated by President Trump to be the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, but his is one of nearly 80 nominations now languishing on the Senate’s Executive Calendar. Last week, Senate Republicans tried to fast-track Burch’s nomination in time for Pope Leo’s inauguration. Democrats objected. So Republicans, despite having the power to overcome that objection simply by scheduling the vote on a Friday, shrugged and skipped town.

This is becoming a habit. After confirming Trump’s Cabinet in record time, the Republican-led Senate has returned to its traditional two-and-a-half-day work week and lackadaisical work ethic.

Lazy, soft-handed, Ivy-League, country-club, elitist bastids.

Maybe, Senate Republicans shoudl work 0 hours / week by getting un-elected.

I know of one that is going to happen to for sure this cycle. John Cornyn of Texas is done for.

If the Republican Party had any spine, and they don't, they would purge every RINO from their ranks.  Sen Cornyn is but one RINO.  There are readily a dozen more that need to be jettisoned.

At the top of my list, and some of the worst offenders are Sen Collins, Maine, Sen Murkowski, Alaska, and the newly elected POS from Utah that took Mitt Romney's place.

These three empower the Dems more than they do the Republicans.

If they can't work 5 days a week, they can kiss my ass. My workweek goes 7 days, and they are 12 hours, often more.

Miserable lazy f&&ks..

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
