You're not watching the same corporate media I am. The GOOP has already framed this as "Democrat Obstructionism"...trying to use this shell game to defuse the embarassment over the Filibuster bust and the infighting that's going on in the Repugnican party.
This regime believes it's a branch that's above any form of scrutiny. It can do as it pleases as it has majorities in control of the major government levers and don't have to be accountable. If anything, this "macho" is what their supporters expect. They are being obstinate as their show of strength and blaming the Democrats as the cause.
Of course this isn't the case as Bolton could have been nominated over the 41 or 45 Democrats by that simple "up or down" vote. The problem is Democrats will never be fully satified with what this regime sends down (and we know whatever is sent will be redacted like crazy) and won't change any minds on the Repugnican side.
Let's just get some popcorn :popcorn: and watch the Senate Repugnicans continue to beat up on their own...give them a helping hand where needed.
