Abortion seems to be the biggest issue Republicans lose on, would this change your view?

This is really looking like trump made a bunch of bullshit tales and mind controlled the people into voting for things that wouldn't help them, by literally using propaganda that would make them believe these policies and changes would help them.
What is so bad about Medicaid and Medicare?
What is so bad about federal grants and loans?
What is so bad about financial aid for feeding school kids so they have an equal chance of having a meal like other kids?
You know what these programs have in common? They help americans.
Do you get it? Do any of you trump dick suckers finally get it? Project 2025 is full of bullshit and yes, trump is in full backing of project 2025 because why the hell would he not be? He only fully benefits from project 2025. How much more shit after shit do we have to go through until the light bulb finally goes off in your head? trump's team doesn't care about the us, the people of this land. If these programs needed to be fixed, they would have no need to end them completely they would just be fixed, without the need to hurt americans. I'm tired of hearing bullshit excuses. Biden is not in charge now. Trump's team is full of people who are only looking out for trump without even being qualified for their positions. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if there is another impeachment.

President-elect Donald Trump has called for MAGA Senate to allow recess appointments as they elect a new majority leader. Here's what this means:

Recess Appointments

A recess appointment is a temporary appointment made by the president to fill a federal position when the Senate is in recess. This power allows the president to bypass the normal Senate confirmation process for certain appointments.

Key points:

Recess appointments are temporary, expiring at the end of the next Senate session.

They can last up to almost two years if made early in a Senate session.

SCOTUS has ruled that the Senate must be in recess at least 10 days for recess appointments to be valid.

Trump's Demands

Trump argues that w/o recess appointments, his nominees won't be confirmed in a timely manner. He's demanding that any of the 3 candidate for Senate majority leader agree to allow recess appointments.

This request is controversial because:

It bypasses the Senate's constitutional role in confirming nominees.

It could allow the installation of potentially unqualified appointees.

It will weaken the system of checks and balances.

Senate Response

All 3 candidates for MAGA Senate leader (John Thune, John Cornyn, and Rick Scott) expressed support for Trump's demand. However, this stance could face opposition from other Senators concerned about preserving the Senate's constitutional role.

Recent decline:

Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden had used recess appointments as of 2020, following a 2014 Supreme Court decision that limited the power.

Supreme Court ruling:

In 2014, the Supreme Court held that the President may ONLY use the recess appointment power during recesses of 10 days or longer, except in very unusual circumstances.

Overall, while recess appointments were once a common practice, their use has become more controversial and limited in recent years due to changes in congressional schedules and legal rulings.
