Was 'communist' really one of the terms the left used to describe a potential Trump 2nd term?
Boy, I don't think I read or heard that. He was called a lot of things, but I really don't remember him being called a communist.

I don't remember communist, but Hitler and fascist were pretty commonly thrown around

Thune has already said they will do it the normal way, no recess appointments.

Actually, he said recess appointments "are on the table" to get Trump appointments through. Which was part of the deal they made...

Lynn Spruill Effect.

She is an awful Mayor. Just a complete idiot.

Not what I've seen. Recess appointments were fine and dandy when Senators had to rely on horses to get to Washington. They have no place now. Switch rolls, I bet you wouldn't be comfortable with Harris doing it. I wouldn't be either. If you don't want the opposition to have a power when they are ascendant, do NOT claim it for yourself when you are ascendent.

A little elaborating: Our Revolution was fought in name against the tyranny of King George III. That was useful propaganda. Every single thing in the Constitution was actually aimed at limiting the power of the majority in the Legislature/Parliament. The Founders knew what they were actually fighting against in the Revolution, even if they said otherwise.
