Meanwhile Hunter Biden gets pardoned for minor crimes and they lose their sh*t

Republicans are slime that we must wash off. ugh

carolinacatlady.bsky.social•175 days ago

We’ve established what they’re willing to do, and it includes ANYTHING. The shock and outrage portion of this horrible reality tv show with real consequences is gone. The law only applies to some of us. The DOJ FAILED and told us to vote… then blamed us knowing MAGA county plans. #FOH

jbrdtrd.bsky.social•175 days ago

A peek under the covers likely reveals those Senators are hiding even worse perversions and they need to keep the lid on.

bella1864.bsky.social•175 days ago

They absolutely are—look at their chosen leader

ymmymmmy.bsky.social•175 days ago

Anything for power.

merkakers.bsky.social•175 days ago

MAGA is pro rape. They don't see the allegations as a negative. I have no excuse for regular Republicans though.

adamjewell.bsky.social•175 days ago

Always thought Captain Morgan would make a great Secretary of Defense. He makes you feel good, inspires courage, but lets you know if you’ve gone too far the next day. Hegseth is no Morgan but probably as close as we’ll get.

oppmindcrime25.bsky.social•175 days ago

Yes, as you see, it doesn't matter to that party. It filled with trash.

johns3785.bsky.social•175 days ago

Trump assembling his cabinet?

wesurvivetogether.bsky.social•175 days ago

Of course they are. That falls under "it's a feature not a bug" category in this nightmare.

lindades.bsky.social•175 days ago

Apparently so, look who they supported for the WH

mrschica.bsky.social•175 days ago

Yes

newjeffct.bsky.social•175 days ago

Infuriating, but not at all surprising

drcheryl01.bsky.social•175 days ago

Agree . It’s crazy

guy-montag.bsky.social•175 days ago

It’s not gain. It’s fear of being primaried

wasmasked.bsky.social•175 days ago

mikemasin.com•175 days ago

They support Trump. By proxy, they supported Jan 6 and who's accused of many civil and criminal crimes.Therefore, Hegseth is their kind of guy.

soartakus-freemann.bsky.social•175 days ago

They just do not care. As some claims now : your body is ours.

joanne2000.bsky.social•175 days ago

The Republican president is an adjudicated rapist, and convicted felon. Republicans dont hold themselves to the same laws, and standards they demand everyone else follow.

jsmithdromey.bsky.social•175 days ago

They overlooked sexual assault, pedophilia, fraud, and most likely murder to elect the gasbag, after all.

jonesonjim.bsky.social•175 days ago

They are, after all, the GOP.

pammysbutterflies.bsky.social•175 days ago

They aren’t overlooking anything they just don’t care

squishablebaby.bsky.social•175 days ago

It’s because people vote for them and they win - even having done such horrible things.

It’s the failure of the American people. Nothing will change until that changes.

arkymorgan.bsky.social•175 days ago

Of course they are.

None of them believe anything except their right to rule over the rest of us.

mkt1882.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's so bleak. Are there any signs that anyone who voted for the turnip is in any way concerned about the blatantly unhealthy picks for top positions that keep happening or are they all totally brainwashed?

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•175 days ago

No signs of decency - it's a pack of entirely self-absorbed, self-serving, short-sighted, conscienceless, integrity-free, greedy, power hungry traitors to our constitution, calling themselves "Christians".

mkt1882.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's sickening watching from a distance, I can't even begin to imagine how it is for all the millions of decent people across USA.

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•175 days ago

Every day approaching Jan. 20, 2025 is overshadowed with dread for impending doom. How can half our country be brainwashed? This is the power of biased media, foreign & domestic enemies, gullible, uninformed & evil people. We had a perfect storm for takeover. I must say, I thought we were better.

mkt1882.bsky.social•175 days ago

I always remember the paranoia around USSR and now your country seems comfortable being manipulated by Russia. It really is a perfect storm of vested interests and evil characters spreading poisonous rhetoric and misinformation to the ignorant and intolerant. It's genuinely dystopian. 😞

gimmeabreak.bsky.social•175 days ago

😔And the sane half of us are vehemently against it.

mkt1882.bsky.social•175 days ago

Oh I don't doubt that for a second. For what it's worth you have so many well-wishers around the world who empathise and support you... though I realise that that'll be of little comfort.

superempath.bsky.social•175 days ago

Overlook? It’s a positive to them.

yesodshalom.bsky.social•175 days ago

The leader of the Republican party is a violent thug who has been held financially liable for sexual assault & defamation against his victim. It's not surprising they support the violent thug rapist Hegseth.

abilityrules.bsky.social•175 days ago

Sadly he will have to assault another woman in DOD if Senators keep protecting men.

truthonly37.bsky.social•175 days ago

Their Corrupt MAGA Cult Message is Very Dangerous and Open for All To See that White Collar White Nationalist Men Are Above the Law and Do Not Need To Obey or Comply With Any Laws.

grandinboy.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's not for political gain. The MAGA modus operandi is Trollery.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•175 days ago

Really? You've never heard of Ronnie Jackson? How is Pete Hegseth any different?

ladyviolalloyd1.bsky.social•175 days ago

They overlook sexual and drug abuse for TFG so why not?

wee1rn.bsky.social•175 days ago

Cmon ya know the answer to that . And that answer is always power , specifically of the white kind

nichhills.bsky.social•175 days ago

Oh, and embezzling. When he's an abuser, alcoholic and thief, do we need to look for other reasons that his enterprises failed?

jlentini09.bsky.social•175 days ago

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truthI have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth

chipchick.bsky.social•175 days ago

They overlooked all that for Kavanough too.

litred.bsky.social•175 days ago

Yes!!!!! It’s about placing the wrong ppl vital positions so the Republicans can’t be blamed!!

bk31th.bsky.social•175 days ago

If they over look it for president. Everything else falls under it.

sukih.bsky.social•175 days ago

+has no qualifications

trumpedtheshark.bsky.social•175 days ago

Shocking

steveyb22.bsky.social•175 days ago

They were wiling to overlook:

A 34 x Convicted Felon
A liable Rapist
An attempted Coup w/violence
Stolen Classified Doc’s (which he tried to hide & refused to return)
Fraud
Obstruction of Justice
Fake Elector schemes
Etc.
So why would this bother them?
🤷‍♂️🤨

davethepear.bsky.social•175 days ago

this, exactly.

peterjameszarrella.bsky.social•175 days ago

Dude can’t even afford a sport coat that fits him

nurseratched64.bsky.social•175 days ago

They are crooks. Blinded by wealth. And they’re not even officially in office yet

stormyskies888.bsky.social•175 days ago

The supposed party of law and order, family values and Christianity.

buddhachrist.bsky.social•175 days ago

They ignore insurrection, suspected espionage, and felony convictions. Mere allegations are but a trifle.

pattipayne.bsky.social•175 days ago

They have one desire and that is to rule. They have no qualms, no morals that stand in the way of that goal.

dawntheysleep.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's like they know something....Did you know, they can contrive a way to adjourn Congress? The Adjournment Clause? And, you may be thinking, that's not how it's supposed to be used. So, even out of book,in Constitutional crisis mode, he'll get what he wants. SC to come in and save the day? Really?

agnesanne.bsky.social•175 days ago

yes.

peachkitty.bsky.social•175 days ago

Of course they are. We're now living in a post-facts, post-rules, post-morality political world. If Dems continue to play by "norms," they will continue to lose.

thatsstellablue2u.bsky.social•175 days ago

It’s not like Republicans are going to grow a spine and stand up to trump. They’ve been completely cowed, they will submit to whatever trump wants. Collins will predictably clutch her pearls first.

remsenhal.bsky.social•175 days ago

You neglected to mention inexperience for the position and a confirmed record of incompetence

cynthiadolliole.bsky.social•175 days ago

Republican senators are proving themselves to be sycophantic fools! They willingly overlooked the myriad crimes of the felon they elected to destroy America where they & their family live! The only thing they will gain is the utter destruction of everything!

beck9093.bsky.social•175 days ago

Why r we so shocked? Look who got elected as president.

silkscreenfiend.bsky.social•175 days ago

"Are soldiers sometimes wild childs? Yeah, that can happen."

- a sitting United States Senator

pegdif58.bsky.social•175 days ago

This is not a new playbook. They’re gonna put every scumbag in town in their cabinet and to work for them. This ain’t nothing new get your big boy pants on. It’s time to fight.

michellemuse.bsky.social•175 days ago

They probably all do it so it’s no big deal to them.

firstnotions.bsky.social•175 days ago

It hurts!

coolgrny48.bsky.social•175 days ago

A side issue? Give me a break! There is documented evidence that he’s been drunk many times at work!

billyjackwatkins.bsky.social•175 days ago

This is unacceptable!

trollingmaga68.bsky.social•175 days ago

Look at them, and it's yes to the all the questions about how low they will go. These are the people who say there's no racism except reverse racism, not realizing to have reverse racism you need regular racism first.

johnd26.bsky.social•175 days ago

So what if he's a Sexual Preadator and Fraud.. At least he's not one of those (Gasp) Evil Homosexuals who never harms anyone.. Or worse yet a Transsexual who must be kept out of the restroom least. Stupid Republicans. I won't ask how stupid can they get because they seem to take it as a challange.

sillysobersailor71.bsky.social•175 days ago

They've proved that time & again for the last 20 yrs or more....

rebelrosey.bsky.social•175 days ago

They overlook because of him. They’re all afraid of him….again. They know the world’s stupidest bully will publicly mock, embarrass and shame anyone so they go along. We’re in for another 4 years of this shit (at least).

cari-o.bsky.social•175 days ago

They seem ok with it for SCOTUS appointments too

jarrettholmes.bsky.social•175 days ago

They overlooked the hundreds of crimes by Trump, of course

progressivegop.bsky.social•175 days ago

The answer to your question is - Yes, they are willing to overlook anything and everything their pumpkin-headed dear leader tells them to.

lundr.bsky.social•175 days ago

It's a day that ends in y

ky-blue17.bsky.social•175 days ago

Pete and Lauren Boebert will burn down DC. Both pretend to be religious fanatics while sexually mauling others! But of course, the Republican senate are ok with this!

lavenderhoney.bsky.social•175 days ago

People haven’t wrapped their minds around the fact yet that the mission is to destroy America. The way that’s done, is to blow up government. Those who voted for it will suffer like everyone, but will have no idea they were groomed for this. That’s why we call them the low IQ base.

dawnresists.bsky.social•175 days ago

They were complicit and enabled the installation of a known Russian Asset, rapist conman, involved in TOC in the WH in 2016.

Putin owns the GOP & Trump. Russia is taking us down from within, as promised. Does it make sense now? They are following Putin's orders.

joad99504.bsky.social•175 days ago

"wild childs." So that is what they are calling rapists now? Obviously this dumbass woman never served alongside a rapist or knows someone who has. Minimizing rape as a side issue is disgusting and reprehensible. Do the women of WY have any idea what sort of vile bootlicking worm they elected?

brendamoghadam.bsky.social•175 days ago

Doesn't surprise me at all. They have proven time and again that party is more important than integrity, truth or putting the people first.

otter0923.bsky.social•175 days ago

They absolutely will overlook sexual assault and alcohol abuse. They are after all the GOP. Prior notable example of this behavior is Brett Kavanaugh.
