pathetic

tommylamb.bsky.social•1 day ago

No sympathy for me, if you can’t take it resign.

franklytired.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I keep seeing this article, and thinking how much it emphasizes that the GOP base elected a pack of cowards.

suzypugs.bsky.social•1 day ago

They should resign if they can’t take the heat.

liberalcatsunited.bsky.social•1 day ago

Funny, I don't see AOC or Jasmine Crockett cowering in a corner. Tillis is up for reelection in 2026, vote him out!

tipsybellows.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because at the heart of maga and republican ideology is scared shitless little fucking boys lashing out. They’re not scary, they’re pathetic and men would be able to tell the difference.

I'm terrified of "daddy," I can't go against him cuz I'm scared!! Fuck my constituents, & the Constitution, & my oath, & democracy, & my country!!

If you're doing the right thing and working on behalf of the people who elected you, you'd probably be relatively safe.

denvercarmen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh sorry! I said the same thing you did, sorry. Mine, not as articulate.

denvercarmen.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m scared shitless that our elected representatives won’t put themselves in harms way — they sure as hell promised to act on our behalf when they were running for office.

bostonborn26.bsky.social•1 day ago

We don't care. Make a plan with the Dems to remove them from office. Do it now.

sarcasmhurts.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ask them, who do you represent ? Us or Trump

jameslp.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cowards. Every fucking one of them.

jcmcbuff.bsky.social•1 day ago

They made an oath to support and defend the constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. Fear should not be an excuse to break that oath.

ccinpa.bsky.social•1 day ago

They had no problem making the monster.

sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social•1 day ago

They enabled Trump. This is exactly what they wanted.

Leopards. Faces. Noms.

You win your election, you take your ride.
The senior senator of NC could resign his seat. The governor can appoint someone to fill the rest of his term, which ends in January, 2026.

mercurialme.bsky.social•1 day ago

If they fear their own constituents, they need to get out of politics. It is a contact sport

lbluth.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! Look at this guy below - and he is not a paid, professional member of congress or senate and yet he's standing up to a MAGA politician far better than many of those elected.

Well stated

gamongold.bsky.social•1 day ago

If they can't do the job they must resign. Their current trajectory also will not keep them safe.

dlmw.bsky.social•1 day ago

They fed the MAGA monster. They helped it grow. They trained it to be angry at & to blame every person who went against Trump. Now they're afraid? Too bad. That monster goes after Democrats/ Republicans who stand up. Those people still stand up. Just admit that these scared Repubs are cowards!

massachusettsxy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I wonder what they think that mob is going to do when they allow their government-funded lifelines to be cut.

They love Trump's anti-socialist rhetoric. They desperately need the government socialism (in various forms).

diane222.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope they do so they feel the pain of what THEY created

wornoutwoman.bsky.social•1 day ago

What’s that saying? You reap what you sow or something….

glennid10t.bsky.social•1 day ago

No mercy. Politicians have proven they don't have the moral compass to protect Democracy.

WE have been sold out.

If a person believes 10 cheaper prescription drugs is a win, they're a loser.
Big Pharma gifts Democrats MILLIONS of dollars a year. Even more than they give to GOP.

Don't be fooled.

mr-pig.bsky.social•1 day ago

No vision, no principles, no compassion. The only thing they've craved for generations is power, and now they're realizing they're not the ones wielding it because they thought any cost meant someone else would be paying it.

now-citizen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. If you are not willing to vote your conscience resign! (Looking at #SC where McCain would be pissed at senior senator). If @darthputinkgb.bsky.social has kompromat RESIGN Lindsey Graham.

mikhos57.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would suggest these cowards all flee to Canada, but ..........

J6 swamp ppl all pardoned; they armed to the hilt; hell yes they’re scared for themselves & their families. All Stephen Miller has to do is pick up his 📱, hit speed dial & the boogaloos are unleashed. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

We can use peaceful protest tactics to irritate the shit out of them, too. Protest at their home, where they shop, where they eat, when they travel. No violence, just in their face. If they can’t grow a spine then let’s encircle them & help them stand up straight.

It is no excuse! They are cowards.

You can’t be brave if you aren’t afraid.

They are straight up just cowards.

michelehyacinth1.bsky.social•1 day ago

They need to resign then. It was never meant to be a lifelong career in the first place. Secondly, If they’re too afraid to function in the role, they need to step down.

drinkie1276.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then quit and it’ll all be over.
