Senate Confirms Trump Nominees After Changing Rules

Monday, September 22, 2025

The new rules allow Senate Republicans to move multiple nominees with a simple majority vote -- a process that would have previously been blocked with just one objection. The rules don't apply to judicial nominations or high-level Cabinet posts.

FTA:

Thune's move is the latest salvo after a dozen years of gradual changes by both parties to weaken the filibuster and make the nominations process more partisan. Both parties have obstructed each other's nominees for years, and senators in both parties have advocated for speeding up the process when they are in the majority.

This will come back to bite them in the ass in the future and they will whine like little bitches when it does.

We HOPE it comes back to bite them. I think it's still 50/50 at best that we even have elections. My reasoning is because it's really hard to imagine fascists giving up any of their power. Project 2025 may not even be put to the test, given the sheer volume of ignorance we have in the USA.

Hey stupid, why don't you learn what a fascist is because if you did you would figure out that if we had a fascist running the country you wouldn't be allowed to make the stupid posts that you do.

It was simple, the left refused to allow votes so Trump wouldn't get his nominee's. They wouldn't vote and say no they just wouldn't allow a vote.

FISHMILT is going to need a safe space again. She doesn't even know what a fascist is (no surprise, she doesn't know what a socialist, communist or Marxist is, either).
