Summary

Donald Trump has publicly involved himself in the race for Senate Majority Leader, insisting that any Republican candidate for the role must support his demand for recess appointments, allowing him to bypass Senate confirmation for cabinet positions.

Trump’s statement on Truth Social emphasized the need for rapid appointments to avoid delays. GOP candidate Sen. Rick Scott endorsed Trump’s call, while opponent Sen. John Thune criticized it as a violation of the separation of powers.

Trump also calls on Democrats to halt judicial nominations during the lame duck session.

Best Part? When they are removed after years of fighting, they will always pop up again if not exterminated "Nürmberg Style".

If you are at that point give us a call, we may have refreshed our old Nazi execution processes again until then.

Sincerely the Germans.

You're assuming that it'll play out the same as last time, and that they haven't had 80 years to come up with better plans.

Yepp... I am quite sure this will be the main type of governing for the next 30-50 years world wide.

Democratic Nations have no "edge" to show for compared with totalitarian regimes (like China). Of course there are many but they are not "popularily visible" like art and other critical disruptions to bring a society forward. But as of now: Only money counts, and here no edge is given to the tired 1D voters.
