Our Government is composed of three parts. They are Legislative,Executive and Judicial. This is set up to prevent any one person or group from getting control. President Trump wants to get his way like a toddler on the playground. Democrats will not roll over and play dead. His nominations can not get the required votes for approval. So like a spoiled toddler, he's decided to try to get the rules changed in his favor. Please read the first link. He has asked Senate Republican leaders to " tear up the rules and go nuclear" so his appointees will get approved. I wonder if he spent too much time with Putin.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
