Why the fuck has no one been doing this for every single nominee since Jan 20th?
the republicans sure did it to Biden, Obama, Clinton…it seems the Democrats don’t understand how to fight, just to govern…fptp is such a terrible idea…2 parties aren’t enough
They understand how to fight very well. Just look at what they do when any progressives have a chance of winning. They choose not to fight.
fptp is such a terrible idea
Sanders and King are independents. I haven’t seen them throwing up blanket holds, either.
I’m not American and I don’t actually have a clue what this means, but hey, it sounds great.
Good luck with the resistance, stay safe. Peace and love from Australia.
too little, too late…this needed to happen january 21st
B-b-b-but Decorum! They take the low road, we take the high! It worked so well last time!
It is starting to feel like Democratic voters are in an abusive relationship with Dem politicians. “I swear I’ll be better this time.”
:house on fire, 5-alarm:
Blumenthal: “I’ll now start throwing some sand at the house to help.”
This feels like too little too late.
Might have been nice to get this ball rolling back in January, certainly. But holding up Presidential appointments is a classic stall tactic that has routinely forced Presidents to come to the negotiating table.
Will it work this time? Probably not, because Trump seems content to just do whatever he wants in defiance of law. Is there anything a legislator can do about that (shy of Ides of March style legislating)? Not without buy-in from the legislative majority and the executive bureaucracy (which has already been gutted and filled in with loyalists).
Which is why he’d have done well to block appointments Day 1, rather than let the cabinet fill up with fascists over hand-wave objections.
are there any left?
Trump already has the main ones he wanted
