The Senate is heading home without treatment on nominations as Irate Trump tells Schumer

Washington (AP) – The Senate left Washington on Saturday night for its August recess of a month without an agreement to advance dozens of nominees of President Donald Trump, describing him to give up after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump publishing on social networks that the Democratic leader of the Chuck Schumer Senate can “go to hell!”

Without an agreement in hand, Republicans say they can try to change the rules of the Senate when they return in September to accelerate the rhythm of confirmations. Trump has been pressing the senators to move quickly as the Democrats blocked more nominated than usual this year, denying any unanimous unanimous consent vote and forcing each one calls to each one, a long process that can take several days by nominated.

“I think they desperately need change,” said the leader of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, about the rules of the Senate on Saturday after negotiations with Schumer and Trump broke. “I think the last six months have shown that this process is broken. Therefore, I hope there are some good solid conversations about it.”

Schumer said that a change of rules would be a “big mistake”, especially because the Senate Republicans will need democratic votes to approve bill of expenses and other legislation in the future.

“Donald Trump tried to intimidate us, surround us, threaten us, call us names, but he didn’t get anything,” said Schumer.

The last confrontation occurs when Democrats and Republicans gradually intensified their obstruction of the executive branch and the judicial nominated of the other party in the last two decades, already measure that the Senate leaders have increasingly changed the rules of the Senate to accelerate confirmations, and make them less bipartisans.

Trump has been pressing the Senate Republicans for weeks to cancel the August recess and grind through dozens of their nominations as the Democrats have slowed the process. But the Republicans hoped to reach an agreement with the Democrats, and approached several times in recent days when the two parties and the White House negotiated on the move of a large section of nominees in exchange for reversing some of the Trump administration expenses cuts in foreign aid, among other topics.

The Senate celebrated a rare weekend session on Saturday when the Republicans had votes about the candidate after nominated and when the two parties tried to resolve the final details of an agreement. But it was clear that there would be no agreement when Trump attacked Schumer on social networks on Saturday night and told Republicans to pack him and go home.

“Tell Schumer, who is under a tremendous political pressure of his own party, the lunatics of the radical left, who go to hell!” Trump published in Truth Social. “Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people are the Democrats and what great work are the Republicans and have done for our country.”

Thune said later that there were “several different times” when the two parties thought they had a deal, but in the end “we did not close it.”

It is the first time in recent history that the minority party has not allowed at least some rapid confirmations. Thune has already kept the Senate in session for more days, and with more hours, this year to try to confirm as many Trump’s nominees as possible.

But the Democrats had little desire to give up without the reversals of cutting expenses or some other incentive, although they were also eager to jump into the city after several long months of work and bitter partisan fights by legislation.

“We have never seen the nominees as defective, as committed, as not qualified as we have done at this time,” said Schumer.
