“CNN ‘will ax top stars in layoffs that’ll see hundreds fired’
CNN is reportedly set to fire some of its top talent in a round of post-election layoffs.
The rumblings, first reported by Puck News, come as high-paid personalities like Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer were reportedly recently denied raises.The two already boast salaries of $7million and $3million, while stars like Anderson Cooper take home an annual $20million.
Kaitlan Collins and Erin Burnett also command inflated earnings – $3million and $6million apiece, respectively.
Insiders told Puck the new round of firings will likely see on-air talent like them affected, as the network’s new CEO looks to free up finances amid waning ratings.”
Perhaps someone can explain to me why President Trump is demanding recess appointments, “without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.” Isn’t the Senate going to be in session for months to confirm his nominations?
The reason he’s doing so is because Democrats, and McConnell, have a habit of not calling recesses in order to prevent the president from making recess appointments on candidates the Senate intentionally hold up using parliamentary maneuvers.
“Recess Appointment Clause explained below. In the comments I read these little known facts. At least I didn’t know, maybe you did.
Comment 1: McConnell kept the Senate in session the entire 4 years of his 1st term just so President Trump couldn’t recess appoint his choice of appointees.
Comment 2: In August 2017 alone, they held nine pro forma sessions to stop the President from replacing Jeff Sessions.”
“President Trump is about to make one of the best deals he’s ever made with the next Senate Majority Leader.
He’s requiring them to agree to Recess Appointments so that he won’t have to wait months & years for his cabinet picks to get confirmed & working.
The Recess Appointment Clause in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution states that “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.”
Simply put, the clause allows the president to fill vacancies when the Senate is in recess and unavailable to approve. That realistically means he can put everyone in place before the Senate can spend an eternity approving them.
This isn’t a new thing, by the way. Every President has been allowed to make recess appointments EXCEPT President Trump because the Senate never wanted to go into recess. They used a process called pro forma sessions, which are a workaround that makes it seem like the Senate is in business, but in reality, they’re doing absolutely NOTHING: no votes, no debates, and no legislative business. It is just a tool the Uniparty unfairly used to stop President Trump from using a Constitutional process to create a functioning executive.
If President Trump can strike this deal. The next four years will be glorious FASTER than we can imagine.”
Trump hasn’t been sworn in and he’s already making demands on McConnell. I can see McConnell slowing everything down just to annoy Trump. Demanding purity and obedience doesn’t always make friends. If I had cable tv and an attention span I’d buy popcorn.
The in-fighting and leadership fights started even before the victory lap was done. And the victory lap should have been muted. The House has yet to officially won – it’s 213 to 205. Although the Republicans won the Senate, the Dems managed to hold Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona seats despite Trump’s win there. And Casey has yet to concede, with an expected 60-75K votes to count, he can still catch up and is still in recount territory. With about 4 million California votes to go, Trump is slowly slipping in the popular vote now down to 50.3%. Although improbable, he might still lose the popular vote. If the presidency was to be determined by popular vote I doubt Harris would’ve conceded so easily.
My point is simple – with this narrow win, purity of policy and loyalty is probably not an effective way to push an agenda. But by all means, spend the next 18 months fighting internally and demanding retribution and see the house swing the other way.
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
Thanks for the video, that was a good explanation. If the Senate does its job properly then recess appointments wouldn’t be necessary. It’s loopholes vs loopholes.
