Helpless, or spineless?

Some GOP members feel helpless as DOGE cuts hit.

A growing number of congressional Republicans are desperately trying to back-channel with White House officials as Trump’s DOGE ramps up its slash-and-burn firings of federal workers.

Fucking spineless. This would all be over TOMORROW if the Republicans wanted to end it and they know it.

Exactly. They can end this at any time and just won’t because cruelty and violence is their motto

3 in each chamber. That’s it. 6 spines out of 271 Republican members.

Spineless. Without a doubt.

They want this revolution (they all love Norquist and the baby in the bathtub idea of govt), feel a bit icky about being associated with it as it is actually manifesting, know they have literal targets on their back if they don't comply, but haven't a clue how to act, they were gelded long ago.

All very well but if they have such information at this point in history, shouldn’t they be releasing it to the public instead of promising to keep it secret as long as their ass is safe?

Bingo. It is shocking, but no longer surprising, how little spine is present. If anyone in the party leadership had a spine 9 years ago we'd be in a very different place now.

Spineless.

These are the people who have the literal power to stop this. They are not precious little smol beans, they are adults who have agency, but choosing not to use it. So I don't give a fuck if they're panicking behind closed doors. In fact, I hope they're sick with fear every waking moment.

They can choke with anxiety or get off their fat asses and do their fucking jobs, which doesn't include toadying for fascists.

I hope their ulcers have ulcers.

I hope their children disown them

I hope they go to eat a delicious lasagna and underneath the top layer of noodles and sauce is a writhing, seething mass of live slugs

They want the perks but not the responsibility. As their constituents complain for them to do something, their uselessness will become all too apparent.

Gutless punks.
