In what can only be described as a desperate cling to power, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has once again shown his true colors as an establishment Republican, completely out of touch with the base he’s supposed to represent. His recent declaration against allowing recess appointments for a potential Trump administration is nothing short of political sabotage. Here we have a man, often referred to derisively as “Moscow Mitch” for his perceived softness on Russia, now actively working against President Trump, the embodiment of Republican voter choice. McConnell’s actions are a stark betrayal to the MAGA movement and its supporters, who see him as a relic of a bygone era of GOP politics, one that prioritizes backroom deals over the clear will of the American people. If McConnell truly believes he has the authority to dictate the terms of a future administration, he’s severely miscalculating the current political climate where Trumpism has not just survived but thrived against all odds.
Mitch McConnell just said there will be no recess appointments.

It's time to get this fossil fuel out of politics and into a nursing home.
CORRUPT PIECE OF TRASH!

Sen. Ron Johnson’s scathing critique of McConnell as a “one-man dictatorship” rings true, especially in light of recent maneuvers that seem designed to give Democrats an undeserved political advantage. McConnell’s strategy, or lack thereof, looks like political malpractice when viewed through the lens of advancing Republican interests. The border bill debacle is a prime example where McConnell’s leadership has faltered, choosing to pander to the Democrats rather than leveraging the opportunity to push for strong, conservative policies. It’s high time for a shakeup in leadership. The American people, who have shown unwavering support for Trump through primaries, legal battles, and even assassination attempts, deserve better than what McConnell offers. His time in power must end, as he no longer represents the fiery, America-first spirit that has captured the Republican base. If McConnell thinks he can obstruct Trump’s agenda with these last-ditch efforts, he’s in for a rude awakening; the GOP has moved on, and it’s time for McConnell to do the same.

I could see appointments that he could want to not get to immediate work through recessed appointments that the senate could advise and consent at a much later date. I could see him asking Trump to pass RFK Jr. And Geatz through a advise and consent procedure and get it done soonest if the rest get immediately to work by recessed appointments.
