Washington (AP) – The Senate left Washington on Saturday night for its August recess of a month without an agreement to advance the dishes of President Donald Trump’s nominate Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump Schump 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 pressed the senators to move quickly as the Democrats blocked more nominated than usual this year, denying any unanimous unanimous consent vote and forcing the calls to each one, a letter that can take the perspective and nominate.
“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 good solid conversations about it.”
Schumer said that a change of rules would be a “big mistake”, special, since Senate Republicans will need democratic votes to approve projects of expenses and other legislet 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 the Democrats and Republicans gradually intensified their obstruction of the executive branch of the other parties and the judicial nominees in the last two decades, and the measure that the leaders of the Senate have increasingly changed the Senate’s injuries.
In 2013, the Democrats changed the rules of the Senate for the judicial nominees of the lower court to eliminate the threshold of 60 votes for confirmations as the Republicans blocked the judicial selections of President Barack Obama. In 2017, the Republicans did the same for the nominees of the Supreme Court, since the Democrats tried to block the Trump nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch.
Trump has been pressing the Senate Republicans during the week to cancel the August and the dock through dishes 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 games and the White House negotiated on moving a large section of nominees in exchange for reversing some of the expenses of the AMT administration.

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 it would not be an 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 sacrifice, go home and explain to your voters what bad people are the Democrats and what great work are the Republicans and have done for our country.”
Thune later said that “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 the recent history that the minority party has allowed at least some rapid confirmations. Thune has already kept the session in session for more days, and with more hours, this year to try to confirm as many Trump nominees.
But the Democrats had little desire to give up without spending reversals or some other incentive, although they were also eager to jump into the city after several long months of work and bitter partisan fights about the legislation.
“We have never seen the nominees as Flaed, as committed, as not qualified as we have done at this time,” said Schumer.
