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.
For your sake, I hope you’re right. We’re not sticking around to find out.

Again, for your sake, I hope you’re right.
Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of.

What the hell are you talking about??? We didn’t “pull through”. The south tried to leave the union, and we said “oh no you don’t, ya little shit!”
Yeah and it only took the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans fighting with muskets and cannons. I dread to think what a civil war would look like today

I haven’t seen much evidence of that. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Bye. I’ll be over on the other side of the Atlantic where they’re outlawing conversion therapy.
Strangely, your “it won’t be so bad, we’re learning” argument doesn’t convince me my queer child will be safe in Trump’s America.
Not even a little.
Not when Trump’s biggest supporters are already calling for trans genocide. The rest of queer America won’t be far behind. But you go ahead and tell them “it won’t be so bad” as they’re getting marched into boxcars. I’m sure they will feel much better about it.
There’s a novel by Sinclair Lewis. You should read it.

I thought it was Britain directly, not Canada, that torched it
When you leaving?
Before the end of January. I have the good fortune of dual citizenship.
Good luck, I’m hoping that I can get a worker’s visa through my employer to move to the UK myself.
Thanks. Good luck to you too!
