Hot mic - Trump speaking on Republicans

Republicans promised they'd fight for Trump's America First agenda after his landslide victory. That promise collapsed the moment Senate Republicans chose to protect the Swamp. And a hot mic caught Trump speaking one devastating fact about the Republican establishment.
President Trump met with reporters following a White House roundtable event with farmers. When a reporter brought up Alina Habba stepping down as U.S. Attorney after the Third Circuit upheld her disqualification, Trump let loose.

"Well, she's not disqualified. You got a 'blue slip' thing that is horrible… it makes it impossible to appoint a judge or a US Attorney – and it's a shame – and the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they allow this to go on," Trump fired back.

Senate Republicans hand Democrats veto power over Trump's prosecutors
The blue slip tradition gives home state senators veto power over U.S. Attorneys from their states. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer used it to kill every single Trump nominee in New York. Not because they were unqualified. Because Schumer wanted to block anyone who would enforce Trump's agenda.
Trump explained. "This gentlemen's agreement means you can't appoint a Republican US Attorney!"
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley could end this tomorrow – just like he did during Trump's first term when he confirmed 17 circuit court judges without Democrat home-state approval. Now Grassley claims the tradition suddenly matters again.

Trump nailed the double standard: "We don't play the same game with them, but they do! Senator Grassley with his 'blue slip' stuff will not let anybody go by! Democrats have violated blue slip provision on numerous occasions."

Hot mic Trump: GOP sabotage
After reporters left the Cabinet Room, a hot mic caught Trump's raw reaction. "You know I can't appoint anybody!" Trump fumed. "Everybody I've appointed, their time has expired! Then they're in default, then we're losing…"
Trump's temporary U.S. Attorney appointments last 120 days under federal law. Then what? Either the Senate confirms them, or the district judges pick whoever they want.

Democrats refuse to return blue slips. Grassley refuses to ignore them. Trump's nominees get forced out after four months. In New Jersey, Alina Habba faced exactly this situation.
When district judges appointed her deputy instead, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the deputy and reappointed Habba as "Special Attorney to the Attorney General" with full U.S. Attorney powers. The Third Circuit ruled that wasn't good enough.
Translation: Democrat obstruction wins, Trump's constitutional authority loses. Habba stepped down but remains at Justice as Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys.

This exact scenario is playing out across states with Democrat senators. Trump warned Senate Republicans about this disaster in July. Grassley claimed he was "offended" by Trump's criticism.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune backed Grassley, saying there's "no strong interest" among Republicans to change the tradition.⁸
Senator Thom Tillis called ending blue slips "a terrible, short-sighted ploy." That argument might work if Democrats hadn't already violated the blue slip whenever it suited them.

Trump won a mandate to install prosecutors who will enforce the law rather than weaponize it against conservatives. Senate Republicans are stopping him by clinging to a "gentlemen's agreement" the other side abandoned years ago.
Hot mic revealed truth: Trump's own party is sabotaging his appointees while hiding behind Washington customs that Dems ignore whenever convenient. Until Republicans put Trump's agenda ahead of Senate traditions, Dems will keep blocking every qualified conservative nominee who threatens their control over federal law enforcement.

****.

It's just an article. I'm never wedded to anything posted here.

Hell, I bolded a couple sentences just to save lazy **** here some time.
Is there a "blue slip" gentleman's agreement? Why not?

Nothing would surprise me less...

I'm ok with a MAGA litmus test

you don't pass it's off to a re-education camp or deportation center...no other choice allowed

Progressives wanted to be us down....let's return the favor....why not just crush them once and for all

they say we just want a white country even tho most of them are white themselves....

they say we are all nazis and fascists yet they have proven to be authoritarian

I vote that we show them what nazis and fascists really are....up close and personal like

give them a taste of their own authoritarianism?

and show them until they say, "I've decided to love America"....if they don't?... no one will miss their departure
