Video: Thomas Massie Asked If Gaetz Will Be Confirmed by Senate—His Response Will Drive Democrats Crazy – Defiant America
The left is in full meltdown mode as President-elect Donald Trump continues revealing key appointments in his new administration, with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Whatever it takes.
Trump was sent to Washington DC with the largest mandate since Ragan in 1984. He gets to pick who he brings with him.
My only question is whether this is actually going to happen, or is all of this just to bait the deep state into doing something overtly stupid so that the military can enter the picture?
I'm really not sure what the script writers have in store for us at this point, but it sure is getting interesting.
I find your doubt unnecessary. Listen to Massie and if they balk read this:
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-3/
Its happening whether they like it or not and that is why the media is working so hard to delegitimize the picks.
Yes. But that only becomes relevant in the case where the House passes a resolution requesting an adjournment. Otherwise, that rule has no bearing. Trump can't make a recess appointment unless:
Massie may believe they have the votes in the House to pass such a resolution, and he may indeed be correct. Or, he could be bluffing. I don't rule anything out.
Recess nominations are nothing new---Obama, Clinton and Bush set the foundation and Trump is going to build his Cabinet on it! BOOM-ER-RANG is incoming and there is Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming!
From Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution... and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;...
Meaning the President can adjourn Congress. That's how you get recess appointments.
As the Kenyan Faggot said. "Elections have consequences".
Indeed. And I'm fervently hoping that one of the consequences of this latest election is to see Black Jesus perp walked and told to wear his orange jammies until he gets fitted for his new twine necktie.
My thoughts from Germany. Wasn't there someone in the past who said you have to proceed carefully and slowly, but when the time comes, act at the speed of light?
Teddy Roosevelt? "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
The Old Guard is starting to realize that the New World is about to overtake them. All I can say is Good Riddance.
Suck it up.
