The section of Profiles in Courage, GOP 25 edition will have zero pagea

Rubio and Vance know better and hopefully America will too in ‘28 when these sycophants fight with each other. But first, let’s put out the dumpster fire caused by the Naked Emperor and the suck ups and elect Dems in ‘26.

Even when the trip down memory lane may reveal unpleasant truths, you can’t change the facts by lying about them. Facts are facts.

Since the simplest explanation is often the most likely, when the unclothed “emperor” relies on a clown car of sycophants for advice, it shouldn’t be surprising that our country is being destroyed

The more he talks, the more lies he speaks. Trump has driven the economy off the cliff, and Lutnick was too scared to stop it. Now we will all pay the price for his incompetence

Shameful: and the DOJ punished the attorney who told the truth. Bondi should be fired

Cassiday supported Kennedy: he knew better and now we will all pay the price for his unwillingness to stand up to Trump

Trump has killed the economy; is killing our commitment to science-based healthcare; and will be killing us. When will the GOP stop kissing the ring and stand up for us?

Donald Trump has steered the HRT Titanic into an iceberg (again) and declined to deploy lifeboats. While His Royal Trumpness may go down with the ship (after he makes his advisers perp walk off the plank), he is going take all of us with him.

Shocker: that insulting our neighbors/allies; imposing ill-advised tariffs; and demonstrating disregard for the rule of law is making America a pariah state and punishing Americans. When will the stupidity end?

So now we whitewash (literally) history. What made us great was our ability to learn and grow and not to pretend that slavery was a social welfare program to provide housing and job training to immigrants from Africa.

And when will the GOP stand up for the rule of law?
It is time that those of us who do support the rule of law march in every. city and town: a visual better than polling data if anything will give the spineless GOP a backbone. Return America to Greatness Now- RAG’N

Bezos’ surrender to Trump is pushing democracy toward darkness. I will miss @ruthmarcus.bsky.social column more than I will miss WAPO - time to cancel that subscription. I expect I won’t be the only former WAPO subscriber

Bill &Ted’s excellent recession? Hey Elon, let’s destroy the economy and drive the United States off a cliff!

There was a time when the person in the White House acknowledged his responsibility to us. This new guy only cares about those who pledge loyalty to him. And the cowardly GOP doesn’t even pretend to care about the Constitution

Outrageous- what use is government if it is not focused on the wellbeing of the governed. Trump and his GOP sycophants have broken our country.

This clown is destroying our country and WAPO has abdicated its responsibility: democracy is dying in darkness. WAPO is becoming crappo

Our homegrown Nazis going back to the motherland. Folks: remember that while they first come for the immigrants fleeing oppression, they will eventually get to us. Silence is complicity.

So the new DOJ protects Adams and his bribery and destruction of evidence: that is a consistent theme of the Trump crime family

Looks like Trump has laid another egg
comment in response to

I guess the quid pro quo was trading dismissal of the federal bribery charges for capitulation on whatever Trump wants: New Yorkers: recall Adams

Taxation without representation? Denying out elected representatives access but giving access to those DOGErs?

Because anti-Christian bias holds so many people back - and the DEI measures were promoting those in control of the US?

Why stop at Gaza and the people who live there? Why stop there? Tumperica should also take over one of the island countries in the Caribbean displacing its inhabitants and adding it to the Homeland? It wouldn’t be unprecedented. Will any of the GOP stand up for America?

Great - because seriously, kids with guns haven’t been killing kids at school?

The DOD is supposed to protect us - all of us. But I guess that DOD has forgotten about righteous causes: liberation of concentration camps; freedom of formerly enslaved people; the fight for civil rights for all of us. But perhaps they will wear gold lame for the Donald’s birthday (Flag Day)

Where was this analysis before the election?
Oh that’s right, the Washington post was too busy working to get Trump re-elected

Audaciousness? Call it what it is. Trump is behaving like a mob boss. Turning American government into an organized crime syndicate. Bully, bribe and extort. When does the murdering begin?
comment in response to
post
I think that most of the people who voted for Trump did not do so based on “culture war” issues and focused on wishful thinking and the price of eggs. Trump kept the promises to his funders and commenced war on civil rights, immigrants, the environment, and free speech. And that was week one.

And this is where we have landed in a week: back to Germany in 1933. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty. And this is only week one: in which the new regime seeks to terrorize those among us with the least ability to resist. How low will they go? Appears that the depth of their depravity is bottomless.

What happened to the united part of United States. Shame on the members of what was formerly the party of Lincoln who are complicit in Trump’s desecration of the Constitution.

What about suspension of asylum procedures; committing to ICE actions in schools and churches; freezing DOJ civil rights enforcement? This is not America.
comment in response to

The civil rights division can’t enforce civil rights laws; we must root out equity? We oppose inclusion? And a diverse workforce? Now that is something that the DOJ will prosecute. The slide into the antithesis of who we pretend to be has begun and who will say no?

The next 4 years will be a time when complacency is not going to work: active engagement with a focus on the people among us who need more protection and help.

Calling Canada a future “state” and saying we will purchase Greenland. Even if in jest, this is hardly the way to build the coalitions that are required to succeed in a community of nation. Is this Putin envy (claiming Ukraine and then killing hundreds of thousands of your own citizens)?

Right. It just serves to reinforce the abuse going back to Garland nomination and GOP abuses. This veto might “feel” good but does not help in the long run.
