"SNIP..........

“Time to reschedule those vacation plans: The Senate’s traditional August recess is likely to be trimmed or possibly scrapped entirely, according to four Republican senators,” Politico reports.

“No final decision has been made, senators said, and the caucus is still debating how many weeks of the recess to slash. But McConnell, the president and GOP senators are so frustrated with the pace of spending bills and Trump’s nominations that McConnell appears ready to pull the plug on the traditional getaway from Washington ahead of the mid-term elections this fall.”

1. No doubt to avoid town halls back home too. Anything to tamp down local anger and

honest questions that could build on the blue wave.

2. It seems like the reps are always

rescheduling their vacations/recesses due to the moron. Last summer and Dec when a lot of shit was hitting the fan they took turns being "out of town" for fear that he would pull something nefarious. Now they have to due to the moron's corrupt admin and all the vacancies created be the "resignations/retirements" and ridiculous spending by the "fiscally responsible GOP".
