They lack the courage. They aren't even as brave as the Cowardly Lion who desperately wanted courage—they are just cowards and are absolutely fine with that.
I often wonder who these people root for in the movies, don't you?
To screen: “No! Don't fight the beast! Hide and sacrifice the others!”
Vast amounts of money really can buy anything! It’s just been proven! I’m somewhere between angry & amazed. The people in this country are supposedly smart having free education available.
Contrary to that, they have chosen a convicted felon whose long life of crimes has caught up to him. Now the
country is at risk!
The really sad part is that they voted for a man who couldn’t care less about anyone else’s welfare! Many of them depend upon Social Security as do I but the big difference is that I didn’t vote to have it removed!
It is not only republicans who lack the courage, it’s democrats as well. They all are afraid of the coming retribution Trump promised. Gonna ride it out and hope at the end of 4 yrs….
It makes no sense to me at all. "Retribution" from a lame duck president who's utterly done no matter what in four years? What *political* incentive is there to even fear such a thing?
Not to mention that chances are high he'll be dead with the decade, & his family are nowhere near any kind of political dynasty like the Bushes or Kennedys.
Trump is proof that you don't need a political background. As long as you have enough gullible idiots to believe your pathological lying, you will get the votes to be installed. The same goes with Jr.
Well, look at McCarthism and the outcomes for those that opposed him. Their lives were ruined by and large. Same outcome here. The reality is the vast majority of people are not willing to actually step into the breech when push comes to shove. That's top down true
McCarthy was a senator, not a lame duck president, & if there was one person that ultimately got the shaft in all that, it was the man himself. That's on record. He ended his career in disgrace.
Do you believe that the Senators won't do as Trump bids? That the same kind of witch hunt and hysteria won't happen? And of course he ended his career in disgrace, that wasn't a shaft job that was justice.
Those pussy-assed vultures have no integrity, honor or conscience but they do have biblical scripture to cherry pick. If their god is real, they are eternally fucked and I’ll open the gates of Hell for them. Hypocrites all.
I think we all know they lack courage. Please Ms Cheney stop calling yourself Republican, join the refugees from the Lincoln Project and the disillusioned former Democrats and let’s form a new party and kick their asses.
It should be framed differently: “Will you uphold the solemn oath you swore before God and your country, or will you be forsworn and damned to hell for all eternity for taking the Lord’s Name in vain?”
Yes, watching the farce aka Confirmation Hearing for Hegseth demonstrates that REPUBLICANS have lost all perspective and ethics. They are blindly or hostage to being in lockstep with Trump.
I don’t believe this incoming administration gives a crap about the Constitution… much less abide by it! The rule of law is over for the Mega rich and powerful! Just us regular citizens will feel the wrath!!!!
I hate this new America!!! Flag upside down… we are in serious danger‼️
Maybe a decade ago I would be ok with flying the flag upside down, but I want nothing to do with what it represents anymore. Most people weren't free for the majority of that flags existence, & now they use the 13 stars as a racist dog whistle! It's time for a new flag, bcs I'm not flying that rag!
Our democracy has crumbled. The guard rails did not hold and nobody is going to be enforcing the constitution even though Trump is clearly not eligible to hold office.
They don’t care about the constitution or having courage, they care about their own self interests and agenda. The GOP morphed into a dumb pseudo authoritarian party driven by oligarchy, plutocracy, and profiteering.
But we’ll remember every last traitor and they’ll need to be arrested and tried for treason once we get our country back, which we will. Majority of Americans will be horrified ad soon as the shit hits the fan & they’re personally negatively impacted.
I Think Not! Watched GOPs “Hegseth” Confirmation Hearing—GOPs Are Complete Incompetent Dangerous Morons Willing To Destroy Our Military And National/World Defensive And Security—For Deranged Narcissist Treasonous Traitor Felon Trump!!
We’re Fucked In Every Way!!
They have no backbone of CaCO3 nor of Fe but jelly.
They are eunuchs that are without intestinal fortitude.
In other words
They are gutless wonders pretending to be human men.
So it falls on us to preserve what we can regarding this dumpster fire of an administration. It hasn't even started yet and has already gone off the rails.
Real Americans need to wake up and realize that nobody is coming to save us from Trump and his MAGA cult. We're going to have to bring an end to that ourselves. Enough talk, they fucked around long enough, let's help them find out!
The election was about money. Regular people voted for Trump supposedly because of grocery strore prices. Rich people donated to Trump for tax breaks,deregulation among other things. So, if money is so important to them, we keep it from them. Then since the law is broken, we simply take back ours.
Widespread and sustained boycotts for Amazon, Apple, Tesla, Meta, etc and all corporations who donated to Trump or bends the knee. They have a ton of money, but we have the rest and they want it, that's all they want.
We start by cutting funding from blue states. We stop supporting their small businesses when we see their stickers/flags/shirts and tats. We shut them out of our families and workplaces. We draw out their violent tendency with little digs and snarky put-downs until they get arrested. Then we sue.
Lack the courage? Why is the mouthpiece for "courage" speaking up when her own father shot a man in the face while hunting? Why is anyone listening to a capitalist pig who finally got their "just desserts," from the leopards they formerly voted alongside, when they're eating their faces too?
Fuck em
I get giving non-violent criminals a second chance, but if you EVER support Nazi loving POSs, you'd be permanently discharged from public service and/or shot on sight?
I'm sure Dick gave Whittington a head start before he shot him in the face in '06, didn't report it til 14 hrs later. "Accidentally"
What will historians do in the future? Refer to a "Dark Period" in the USA where all facts were destroyed and replaced with self-serving Republican lies? Will they destroy all documentation on climate change? How many more major world problems will have the data destroyed?
It's frustrating that it took this long to write a book report on what we all saw with our own eyes on live TV. I know the importance of documenting all the connections and naming all the people involved, but it's not like you could ever come to any other conclusion since we were all witnesses.
We’ve been asking that of Republicans for over two decades. Continuously push pushing the United States closer to the brink and destroying the very republic they claim to love. The cult of Donald Trump the lure of money and power seem to be winning.
The DOJ's policy on not prosecuting a sitting president, since the 1970's, is based upon that premise that the president wouldn't be able to serve. Wouldn't it make sense then that if this was the situation the succession of powers would kick in? The president wouldn't be able to serve.
Any of these clowns presented for confirmation should commit to a crime of perjury should they engage in activity other than promised. Not that it would help much at the end of the day.
Unfortunately,many ppl do not hold courage, honor and respect the same as years gone by. Ppl are threatened. Not many ppl can be an Alexei Navalny but Liz Cheney has stood her ground and did her part.
The answer is: "they lack the courage" because they're gutless, having long ago rationalized away any integrity and love of our country they may have had. Their seat in congress is far more important to them than mere oath and duty.
True. We know. People who put trump in as president will do as they please, accumulating vast sums of money and consequently causing us to find joy where we can versus what could be routines of cooperative contentment.
Yes, we do know the answer is a resounding, "No way, Jose." Courage is not a strong suit for most GOP reps. Trust. They have proven themselves completely untrustworthy.
We know they all lack the ability to morally process truthful information. They will not protect the constitution. They want to rewrite it according to their sociopathic leader.🤦♀️
Clearly, they lack the courage, if they ever had it. Hegseth's 'hearing' today showed that and Johnson's comments about holding aid to the people of California confirmed it. I just can't with these people today.
The incoming administration illegal and unconstitutional placement of power violates the 14th amendment section 3 and Trump has violated many of the laws of the United States which have been ignored by Congress and SCOTUS. These people don’t follow the rule of law and constitution at all
It is very well evident that Donald Trump and many Maga Republicans in Congress and the United States Supreme Court violated the 14th amendment section 3 and many laws of the United States in the process. For the first time in USA history we will have a government that didn’t follow the constitution
It's not that they don't believe in the words. It's that they have convinced themselves that the reality is something else and therefore what they are doing is not just okay but heroic. It's difficult to twist your brain around to grasp the way these people think, but there it is.
They Are Definitely Lacking In My Opinion. They Will Always Try To Persecute Those That Don't Agree, With Their Nonsense. All Their About, Is Tearing The Country Apart, And Replacing With Hatred, And Paranoia. But Yall Put Them Back In. Just Gonna Put Black Owned In My Yard, When Deportation Starts.
MAGA won't read this. If they did, they would laugh all the way through it. Dumpster could'nt possibly be wrong. Everybody on their side is correct, everybody else is the enemy. Our advantage is, they don't really trust each other either. They're very paranoid. Civil War in MAGA is very possible.
Many of them cannot read and comprehend above a 3rd or 4th grade reading level. This is who we are dealing with now. Poorly educated and easily manipulated.
Why can't we get answers about the secret service deleting texts? Or Pence's refusal to get in their car? Or Mike Flynn's brother delaying the National Guard response?
Why is all this darkness perfectly acceptable to everybody?
We know why Pence didn’t get into the car. He heard that Johnson would refuse to certify on J6 if the VP wasn’t there to. If nothing else, Pence was true to the Constitution.
Trump had sent the Proud Boys to kill him, a mob to terrify him, and the secret service to drive him 'somewhere'. I think it's far more likely Pence was pants-wetting scared out of his mind than steadfast to the constitution.
Well, yes, that too. Someone probably warned Pence that the mob was threatening to kill him so he didn’t want to leave. Where was he hiding? In the garage?
Unfortunately they have already shown us what they will do and it isn’t performing their duty to uphold the Constitution. I don’t expect them to change.
The thing is we are such a young country compared to others around the globe. These older wiser countries know to fight against oligarchs & authoritarians. Good thing for us, most oligarchs are taken down, imprisoned, stolen from or accidentally unalived by a dictator. Each betting it won't be them.
We suck. Our justice system sucks. We or they are cowards to allow this to happen for a fucking traitor. Bin Laden didn't fly the planes either but that ended in poetic justice.
The GOP is not likely to develop the courage and integrity to ensure Felon Trump's incoming cabinet will do what is right for ALL Americans and our Constitution. The GOP will kneel before the Traitor Felon Trump and cause all of us to pay for their cowardly obedience to Felon Trump. So sad.
Not that I expect a response from either one of my Senatorial idiots, but I sent her words to both of them in a letter. Tillis might grumble a bit before voting with his usual spineless Trump servility, but Budd is a 100% MAGA rubber-stamp. He’d vote to confirm Himmler to DHS if he had the chance.
As to Bondi, we already know the answer😂💦😂 There will be a total whitewash just like those disappearing text messages between the Secret Service members that “disappeared” 😉
Courage? Spine?
Doing what's right vs what's advantageous and personally beneficial?
Standing up to authoritarianism and oligarchy?
Preserving the constitution, Rule of Law, and Democracy?
I think we all know where the vast majority of GOP members stand on those attributes today.
We're fucked.
If the systems set up to deter this kind of action and behavior do NOT work when they need to, if they are easily circumvented, then you are looking at a BROKEN system. Utterly, entirely and completely broken.
Yes- sadly we know the answers- I’d love to hear what behind- the - scene chicanery is happening- like why were all those Congress Representatives doing at Mar-a Lardo recently
They blindly support Trump and are about to hand over control of the planet’s most powerful military to an alcoholic rapist who refused to say he wouldn’t violate the constitution if asked, all because Trump told them to. They don’t have a single spine amongst them. They lack the courage.
They all lack the courage. They will confirm all Trump’s nominees. There is not a single Republican in Congress with a backbone. They have all bent the knee to Trump, Musk and the money they need to get re-elected.
It’s because they still have to pander to the other side, making them centrists because they know 50% of the country is still pretty backwards, misogynistic, and racist.
Maga gop senators and also congressional representatives are complicit in all of this and have been since 2020. They sold us down the river for trvmp, they do not work for us, they haven't for a long time.
Where TF were you years ago when you opposition to the Republicans would have been a lot more helpful!? I mean, I love that she finally saw the light, but was she and her family that stupid to begin with?

PERIOD
Good luck getting this out to the masses.
The Right's messaging juggernaut is winning and the Democrats better wake up to this fact.

Halvf the population litterally voted to get rid of the other half🤔🤷🏼♂️
Our civilisation has peaked. From here on out it will be downhill.
But we’ll remember every last traitor and they’ll need to be arrested and tried for treason once we get our country back, which we will. Majority of Americans will be horrified ad soon as the shit hits the fan & they’re personally negatively impacted.

you got the answer in November, Trump won election.
it's sad, but the people will feel the answer on Jan. 20th
NO, and YES.
Fuck em

Mi~
Liz, I hate to break it to you… they lack the courage.
What’s more, they lack the personal moral and ethical framework to do anything other than bend the knee and kiss the ring.
Time to consider what other approaches might look like…
Why can't we get answers about the secret service deleting texts? Or Pence's refusal to get in their car? Or Mike Flynn's brother delaying the National Guard response?
Why is all this darkness perfectly acceptable to everybody?

Anybody?
Anybody got an E harmonica??
This is important stuff.
They don’t know what courage means

Standing up to authoritarianism and oligarchy?
Preserving the constitution, Rule of Law, and Democracy?
I think we all know where the vast majority of GOP members stand on those attributes today.
We're fucked.
Of course they lack the courage.
