Senate heads home with no deal to speed confirmations as irate Trump tells Schumer to ‘go to hell’
The Senate left Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees, calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!”

Not that I want them to pass this legislation, but why does Congress get to take the month of August off and the average American doesn't?
I'm pretty sure the idea is two fold. First, being a politician wasn't supposed to be a full time job. The second is that politicians need to spend time in their home state to hear from constituents and be a part of their state (travel which used to take days/weeks for travel).
damn itd be super cool if any one of them ever actually did this
Oh don't worry, I actively check the pages of my reps and senators.
I'm in Oregon, so my two US senators are the bomb and come to every county once a year. Love them.
Our local us rep and state rep/senators are all Republican sleazeballs who avoid any and all public appearance and town halls like they're the plague, or when our us rep did exactly one town hall last year, he gave less than 24hr notice so nobody had time to get down there. Their offices never respond to emails or letters.
Just look at the ones the republicans criticize the most like AOC or Ilhan Omar, they actually spend time with their constituents and try to understand their struggles and concerns all the time.
To be fair they pretty much already are.
Just shows how mature Trump is. What other president would use language like that. He really is a spoiled, scared little child who is so used to getting his own way.
Nixon was a potty mouth.
Johnson loved to talk about how big his dick was and would call people into a meeting while he took a shit with the door open.
Also apparently didn't just talk about how big his hog was, supposedly also dropped it on the desk to prove it
There's a hilarious recording of him ordering pants. He won't stop talking about how big they need to make the crotch.
I had a customer like that when I sold pants. Just kept going on and on about it. I called a co-worker who had the same issue over to help him out.
Bro dropped n bombs all the time.
In public seems to be the difference between the appearance of decorum and WrestleMania at the White House.
I mean I agree Schumer can go to hell but like it'd be great if Don joined him.
Put them both in the Thunderdome!

HEY DUMBFUCK SENATORS….
DOGE IS RUNNING ALL THE AGENCIES. TRUMP HAS USURPED ALL YOUR CONTROL!!
HEY SENATE DUMB DICKS… You need to codify/make a law do whatever you need to do to require all doge personnel to be confirmed.
You first, Diaper Donnie Drumpf, you first!
This shit is fucking pathetic. DELIBERATELY pathetic.
Yay! Donald "the toddler" Trump is pissed because he didn't get his way. Great job!
Only temporarily. He always gets his way. I think that's what I hate about him most
