Democrats in Washington have once again pulled out their well-worn playbook of delay, deflect, and deny, this time targeting the confirmation of Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Instead of rolling up their sleeves and doing their job, they seem intent on dragging out the process like a bad Netflix series that just won’t end.
Sure, the confirmation process is supposed to involve careful consideration but let’s not pretend this is about diligence. This is classic obstruction by the swampy Trump-haters. And they aren’t just delaying Trump’s cabinet picks. They’re delaying America’s cabinet picks.
So far, only two of Trump’s nominees has passed – Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. We still need a Homeland Security Director, an FBI Director, a Defense Secretary, a Director of National Intelligence… and many other positions. You know… all the things that will keep us safe.
Here’s the thing: most of Trump’s cabinet picks will get confirmed. It’s not a question of if, but when – and no amount of grandstanding is going to change that. All this stalling accomplishes is wasting time and money – resources the government is supposed to manage responsibly. (What a concept, right?).
But it’s what the Dems do – it’s who they are. They are the resistance. Not just a resistance to Trump, but a resistance against the U.S.A. and her people.
It’s high time Trump cracked the whip with threats of tariffs or even jail time for these clowns. And since most of them are well into their golden years, why not crank up the voting schedule to 24/7? Nights, weekends, mornings, no breaks, no food, no bathroom trips, etc. Let the Republicans run them ragged until they cry uncle.
