2016 Postmortem

(398 posts)36. The ability of republicans to be self-contradictory is amazing
I've never seen a group or individual that can contradict itself so thoroughly and completely. I thought, hey, GWBush had hundreds of recess appointments, hundreds of signing statements, 1/3 of his time in office gone for vacation. But when Obama does a couple of recess appointments, a couple of signing statements and an occasional vacation, the GOP goes nuts and exaggerates on the move.
But this one really takes the cake because they're contradicting themselves within their own statement. They are really saying, "No, you're not allowed to make a recess appointment during our recess."
