Reality Check for Politico, and Media ‘Scandalized’ by Possible Trump Recess Appointments

Donald Trump, the new Senate majority leader, demonstrates that he has learned a lot from his victory by letting him know he may need to immediately apply recess appointments to place his change-making staff. Instead of allowing Democrats the opportunity to stage their media information operations and# Resistance, which are now gearing up, senators should now gather their works together to suggest and approve. &nbsp,

New Senate Majority Leader John Thune gave Trump the green light on recess visits, but Sunday nights, the Turtle, Mitch McConnell, the cheerful majority leader, officially told a gathering that there would be no corner meetings. A disgraced New Yorker reporter published the obscene snippet on the X social media platform before quickly deleting it. &nbsp,

Screenshots are forever, however. &nbsp,

. @SenJohnThune, are you going to do right by the American People and confirm ALL of President Trump’s cabinet picks??!! pic. twitter.com/6ueJ06n0k3— Maureen Bannon ( @maureen_bannon ) November 18, 2024

This news item came from the Dirty Dossier-promulgating Jane Mayer. She is, as the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway wryly noted,” The same&nbsp, Jane&nbsp, Mayer&nbsp, who has lied with wild abandon for decades about Clarence Thomas and who helped perpetrate the Kavanaugh rape hoax hysteria ALSO pushed the Russia collusion info op? Wow what are the odds? I’m so shocked”.

The Wall Street Journal called Trump’s request a “scheme” and “anti-constitutional”. That’s an odd turn of phrase for actions that are explicitly in the constitution under the—wait for it —” The Recess Appointment Clause” and” The Appointments Clause” .&nbsp,

Other publications purposefully convey the impression that possible recess appointments are impromptu or unreliable, thereby purposely obstructing the visibility of dark and dangerous appointments. They’re not. Presidents have, in fact, used recess appointments hundreds of times since the founding of our nation. &nbsp,

In a 2017 report, The Congressional Research Service reported that in recent history, President Obama made 32 recess appointments, Bill Clinton made 139, and George W. Bush made 171. The Senate confirmed almost all of Obama’s recess appointments in regular order. &nbsp,

There’s more to say about this arcana, including Obama’s Supreme Court loss over recess appointments. The only thing he lost was the time he tried to reorganize the National Labor Relations Board. In a separate article about these recess appointment bloviators for our VIPs, we should write about some of the Supreme Court justices ‘ comments made during oral arguments. &nbsp,

According to some, Trump may be keeping his options open by appointing Matt Gaetz as the top DOJ official to begin house-cleaning. The WSJ calls Gaetz “regrettable”. To me, it sounds like a dreamboat. &nbsp,

McConnell is receiving criticism from Trump supporters who recall Senator Rick Scott.

Indeed, Jeremy Bash, one of the 51 intel people who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop to interfere with the 2020 election, is back and is urging CIA agents and staff to# Resist Trump and, by the way, commit treason. &nbsp,

We also recall how government officials “resisted” Trump and publicly stated that on Twitter 1.0. &nbsp,

A massive” RESIST” banner was displayed above the White House photo by activists. twitter.com/UNk8ta91cz— NowThis Impact ( @nowthisimpact ) January 25, 2017

Trump was trolled 45 by the Office of Government Ethics. Other “resisters” created Twitter accounts containing former government employees to attack Trump. &nbsp,

General Mark Milley, the head of the joint chiefs, frequently called China to assure Xi that he would drop a dime on Trump in case it was serious or nuclear, is a sight that many observers recall. Milkley urged U.S. military and State Department personnel to ignore or slow down Syria’s troop reductions. And when orderly withdrawal plans that had already been gamed out and used, were ignored, Milley allowed the Afghanistan bug-out debacle to take place in his role under Biden. &nbsp,

When you’ve seen for yourself these resist Trump efforts, these possible recess appointments do n’t seem like such a bad idea, now do they?
