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
- I’d prefer if this congress would take every month off.
  
  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.
  
  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.
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.
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!
Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pressuring senators to move quickly as Democrats blocked more nominees than usual this year, denying any fast unanimous consent votes and forcing roll calls on each one, a lengthy process that can take several days per nominee.

This shit is fucking pathetic. DELIBERATELY pathetic.
You first, Diaper Donnie Drumpf, you first!
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
