We can only hope but I don't have confidence in them yet. Saying something against him on this is easy. We need them to push on something bigger before I will believe they might get a spine.

They removed Mike Turner as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee because he supported Ukraine and sounded the alarm on Russia. Too bad he didn’t resign all together in protest.

Amen to this! Why isn’t there more outrage for those so-called anti-Trump republicans?

If we keep applying pressure to be Dems and GOP alike we might have a chance some are slowing growing a spine. I think we’re at maybe 3 vertebrae so far. Don’t let up on them.

Republicans could not be so dumb as not to realize that if they all stood against trump en masse, he’d be gone in seconds. No threats, no dissenters tweeted to death, no bluster, no bullying could touch them. He’d be powerless and the party at large would rule for the next four years. C’mon repugs!

I doubt it.

When will "They" realize that "They" are going to be a Sly Stallone character in a reality show called "Expendable Island". A spin off of "Celebrity President"! Look at what the expendables did for Trumps cabinet. 2 out of 3 branches of our government hasn't any power anymore. Be afraid.

The answer is no. They agree with Trump on bigotry & hatred, and they are ready to die for that. Watch and learn. Again.

There will be a little fuss and then all the republicans will melt into a puddle of goo.

This is quite a conundrum isn't it? If they show some spine and stand up to him they'll get primaried, but legislators which would make things even worse. Are we fucked?

Some (possibly most) of them have been threatened. Their FAMILIES have been threatened. I'm pissed off at ALL of them, but I understand at least a little bit. But only a VERY little bit. Like a nanobit.

You put yourself in their place, right? And you think, "What do I have to lose? There are other jobs. But I'm not going to go quietly!" And then boom boom in the face of this banal evil. I do not understand passing up an opportunity to be great.

Don Bacon came out with the strongest rebuke of 47 yet. Like career ending, rebuke. Good on him.
