Bannon just gave the left a 'democracy suppository'… and Trump pulled out his ACE card...
• https://revolver.newsThings are heating up in DC as President Trump builds his America First cabinet, making it crystal clear that nobody—and we mean nobody—will stand in his way. This time around, things are different. Trump isn't just a leader; he's arguably the most powerful politician in the world, with the full backing of the American people behind him.
He's coming in with a historic mandate, and he's not afraid to use it. The Deep State and establishment elites better take note—this is a Trump they've never faced before.
Our own Darren Beattie joined Steve on War Room to talk about the Gaetz appointment, and during the discussion, we learned that President Trump played his ace against Thune—the new Senate Majority Leader, elected in a shady "secret" vote that MAGA didn't approve of.
But Trump isn't letting that stop him. He made it clear to Thune that if Matt Gaetz isn't confirmed, he'll use the Federal Vacancies Reform Act to appoint him anyway.
We recently published an article that lays out, in powerful detail, why Matt Gaetz is the only man who can drain the swamp and make the DOJ great again. President Trump knows this better than anyone, which is exactly why he's fighting tooth and nail to get Matt behind that desk. Here's a sneak peek at all the reasons Matt is the man for the job.
Lacking confidence in some of his Senate-confirmed Cabinet secretaries, Trump attempted to exploit the Federal Vacancies Reform Act by installing acting departmental secretaries with questionable legal authority. Another option he considered in April 2020 was to unilaterally adjourn the Congress in order to make recess authority appointments to various vacant positions. That power can only be exercised if the two houses cannot agree on a mutual adjournment date. However, at the time Trump floated his idea for a unilateral adjournment, the House and Senate had already adopted a firm adjournment date of Jan. 3, 2021, thus thwarting the president's legal authority.
Nevertheless, the power of recess appointments clearly appealed to him. Last Sunday Trump posted on Truth Social, "Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments…without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner."
