Recess
How Trump could appoint Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr without Senate approval. From the pro-Trump site Breitbart News.
Yes as chief executive, the President has a path to recess appointments. But it requires some co-ordination between both houses, and obviously the ascension of the Executive branch over the Legislative, which is exactly what Trump wants. Consolidate and then Dictate.
Trump is testing the waters to see how far the Senate will allow him to go this time...overwhelming opinion is most of these candidates are highly unqualified. But then there's the MAGA rebukes if they oppose. Gee, they might get voted out and lose their lifetime pensions and health care.
The point of these appointments must be to create chaos in the "administrative state". Except maybe Gaetz, who is there to defend Trump/attack his enemies.
I heard a humorous comment "He's nominated the insane asylum for the Cabinet!" Can it get any craizer? Yes it can. Going to be the wildest next two years in history. Then the Mid Term elections may remove some of the complicit characters in both House and Senate after enough people have woken up to the fact they've lost their health care, and loss of immigrant workers send grocery prices skyrocketing. Imagine no vaccines for measles and polio!
Remember Trump's first wife Ivana was the daughter of another KGB officer. His ties to Putin go back to the 1980's so it's becoming clear whose agenda Trump is really pushing to rip apart our democracy and promote himself as "fearless leader."
Now he announced a grift of *Trump guitars*. How populist! https://apnews.com/article/trump-guitars-d585331e2a1f55316c52ad8121ef6826

Sounds like some kind of kamikaze strategy...

ReplyDeleteThe kamikaze strategy *could* work, since many voters in 2020 apparently blamed the chaos on Trump, not on the Dems or BLM/Antifa.
ReplyDeleteThe Senate Majority leader is apparently not a Trump favorite, so who knows?
ReplyDeleteBreaking news: Dr. Oz nominated to run Medicare etc.
