Discussion: Senate Blocks Trump's Ability To Make Recess Appointments This Month

It’s a general problem, not that TPM shouldn’t move to solve it. You see typos and other errors of sloppiness in the websites of the most august, prestigious outlets. Everyone’s working too hard and too fast. But when it confuses readers it’s gone much too far.

Just so long as Trump is denied the opportunity to appoint one of the local milk people to a position of influence. You all know how they are with their nonfat and 2% bullshit. Shoving calcium fortified moo juice down our throats. I want all the fat and all the caffeine. Keep the local milk people away from my covfefe.

I don’t think a copy-editor hire is an efficient use of funds.
This article is easily understandable.
I DO think it’s a good idea if each reporter has either an easily accessible standardized email or at least a TPM “handle” to avoid giving the impression that Twitter is Where The Action Is.
I appreciate the (3 or 4) reporters I’ve sent messages to, and their responses.

They can’t get anything done because they know all the shit they say to get elected, if ever enacted, will screw voters so bad they will lose the next election and never be able to run on it again. They really need just enough democrats to keep them from getting stuff passed so they can say they tried, but Ds blocked it and they can run in the next election says this time they hope to get it passed.

Reminds me. About ten years ago I read, I think in WashMonthly, about a university press book a southeast red-state college prof wrote detailing all the repeatedly broken promises Republicans had run on, over and over again, since Lincoln, or almost. With, at that time, abortion being the latest example. I sure wish I knew the title.
Lil’ help?

However, Trump now has an open slot at the head of the Department of Homeland Security after he named retired Gen. John Kelly his new chief of staff.

Homeland Security? Any rumors on whom Trump is considering? Medvedev, maybe?

So he goes to Huntington WV and rages bullshit to a choir of desperate poor white lower middle class folk struggling with the worst opiod addiction epidemic in the US. I said it before and I’ll say it again – of course that’s where he went!! He’s a racist, sexist, disingenuous, opportunistic PIG

Yet our very own “Yosemite Sam” still has access to the Launch Codes.

That is what scares the hell out of me. The Launch Codes in the hands of a desperate, cornered Malignant Narcissist with itchy trigger fingers (who “knows more than all of the Generals”.)

We can only pray that McMaster and Kelly can somehow keep an eye on him and stop any true insanity from happening.

Senators don’t like it when they put their balls on the chopping block for a President and then he Blames Them for the failure to pass legislation.

They have immense power in the checks and balances area and they are finally waking up to that fact.

and “Payback” is a Bitch.

no way. That fat tub of shit ain’t walking. He’s in his golf cart, and the only thing that moves in a blur on him are his tiny little hands shoveling junk food into his face.
