Are you kidding? The dems don’t have the balls to do what is right either. I mean, they protest outside Treasury and just expect someone to open the door and let them in!
Let’s see, D’s impeached trump twice. Ball less R,s abdicated. Every Dem presidential candidate since 2016 have warned America about how dangerous the man is. Toady Republicans handed what little courage they had over for fear of his childish insults. We were warned
They need to start kicking the doors in they’re not playing nice so why are we? They’re planning on stealing America and you still wanna play nice this is war and all is fair in hating Trump.
Would you rather they broke in as was done on 1/6?
What exactly is it you would have them do? Ignore the constitution and laws they are sworn to uphold?
I thought that was what GOP/MAGA do.
When at any point since 2016 has democratic lawmakers following the rules helped anyone? Give me one instance. Because right now, their following all the rules has resulted in a hostile takeover of America. What are you advocating for - just standing by and watching?
Please read the list of accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration and then repeat your claim that they did not help anyone. Only when we choose to eschew hyperbole can a real conversation be had. I have posted several of my suggestions and given examples. Now it is your turn to respond.
From a broader perspective, it is not all about me. I am a 73 year old women who had the good fortune to enter a profession that has allowed me to ensure relative comfort.
But it is not all about me. I can see others who have benefitted from Dem policies.
Loan forgiveness is an ongoing benefit to those it helped.
Restrictions on insulin costs helped those diabetics who were my patients. The continuance of the ACA helps many of my patients avoid cervical cancer by vaccination, an ongoing blessing. Some of these actions will protect for a lifetime.
All the Dems had to do was stand up to Netanyahu. Instead, they have been compromised by AIPAC and complicit, Hell... tripping over themselves to send our weapons to him. No... Dems have ignored those of us on the bottom, they did this too.
Of course it is, but the Dems are just letting it happen. They’re not even fighting for us. Their voicemails are full, they aren’t returning emails, won’t accept visitors. They’re cowards cowering in the corner. SHAME ON THEM
she has less to worry about thanks to Alaska having (and recently upholding when Rs started crying) both open primaries and ranked choice voting.
open primaries means no "primaried" nonsense for not being extreme enough. every single candidate on one ballot. rank your favorites. then the general.
Quick call John McCain (check notes) nevermind he's dead, along with any Reagan Republicans. Dems are going to have to cleanup this mess, for the 6th time.
Probably not, most of them don't even want to stand up for their constituents. It's not their parents having to live off of $900 to $1,200 a month. It's not their children going without food despite many families in the United States working constantly while being unable to afford the necessities.
It's a sad truth many people are only there to represent themselves rather than the good of all. But I do believe some of them care and have learned from their own experiences. But we need more, a lot more voices, more people.
I agree with you completely. We need to support those that really do care and are willing to fight. The old Guard needs to retire. Some of them still think that you can compromise with the other side and that will never happen.
Nixon came into office after LBJ's disaster in Vietnam then had CIA operatives raid the DNC at Watergate. The GOP actually ousted him themselves. The oligarchs were seriously pissed. They hired Reagan, killed the fairness doctrine and brought Fox News to the US. The GOP is owned by them now.
Unfortunately, we all know the answer to that… There are no more Republicans - only MAGAts… and they are all bought and paid for by muskrat and Putin… including the Dems who continue to vote to yay on cabinet nominees even while this government takeover continues…
If Nixon had gone to JAIL like he earned, people wouldn’t think they could get away with breaking norms and rules; which is something the Republicans have ALWAYS done to various degrees. Every GOP POTUS did illegal things and never paid the price.
We just don’t dig into the details, depths, and facts of what they’ve done to include getting hundreds of thousands of people killed and injured through wars and covert operations.
Countries are living out the residual effects, while people complain about them trying to come for a better life.
Yes. But I'd go back even further to "With malice toward none." Lincoln himself basically pardoned the entire Confederacy and fostered the idea that one can commit treason and receive no consequences -- because America just doesn't have the stomach to hold them accountable.
The problem for the Civil War to now is groups like The Heritage Foundation and United Daughters of the Confederacy have watered down the racism and rewrite history to maintain White Supremacy through education and political system. STILL ACTIVE…both.
They finally stood up to Nixon after the people’s outrage became too much. Problem, these Republicans are ACCOMPLICES to this rolling COUP and currently disqualified THEMSELVES from office.
Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. How about we march down and steal MAL and lock the fucker out. Steal the psychos other properties too. I hear it’s infested with bed bugs but you can call a fumigator.
Really Jared? Have you actually read a history book? Have you read how the palestinians were ousted from their own land after the war, Jared? About how they've been trying to survive since then? A thousands year old civilisation, Jared. But sure let’s talk beach front, Jared! You bloody moron.
Yep. He wants to bulldoze their homes and turn it into the Monaco of the Middle East. He sure didn’t tell the Palestinians here his plans did he? He lied to them. Typical Trump.
God,i remember the 1st Grace Kelly! Anyway I have a wife I adore,3 kids I adore but gotta tell ya, Chip has enriched my life SO much. I'm gifted with great health & fit.Chip & I walk every day..we're in my p/u..he has his own bed in it..we visit,play,sleep,socialize 24/7. Fills my soul. I ADORE him
The GOP have consistently shown themselves to be hypocritical and opportunistic gaslighters who politicize every issue with only greed and a thirst for power driving them.
Surely there are at least a few with a moral compass, but they have no backbone to support it.
Alyssa…as we’ve seen with the President’s cabinet nominees - NO they do not. They are spineless sycophants who have no honor, no pride, no self respect. We cannot rely upon them to do the right thing.
I wrote to my GOP senator, got a form letter back two days later. They say flooding the telephone lines is more effective so I found the phone numbers to start calling.
How about any of our generals in the military? Somebody needs to take action and take out those that are attempting a coup against the United States. Where is everybody?
These career service members, including the 4star generals who should be running the DoD, cannot be happy that an alcohol Nazi with no commanding experience and zero leadership success was put in charge.
The drunk and rapist may have the top office in the Pentagon but he doesn't have the respect of the enlisted military like the generals do. Remember in ancient Rome a general in command of his legions can overthrow an Emperor! 😉
Yes. I would agree with those who call for zero cooperation.
But next you could cue the firebrands saying....they don't have the balls to do anything besides vote "no".
I will take doing nothing other than protecting the constitution a win. Of course I would love to see more but as my senators are acting as if these were normal times and these are normal candidates. I will take obstruction rather than complicity any day of the week
Obviously not.. and they will be remembered for the lack of integrity to stand up for the rights of their constituents, Americans, and for our country..
Just a bunch of cowardice sellouts.. easily bought and paid for by dtrumpf and muskivite
Would it make it harder, with a pro-Trump Judge.. sure. They still have to follow the law, or they will be removed, from the case. So they better make the case a "slam dunk", that will take time and a lot of evidence.
This is the only hope I have is this is a nest of vipers, and these vipers every single one of them wants to sit at the top but the only one that’s allowed to sit there is the turd but they’re all gonna fight to get there so eventually they’re gonna eat each other Absolute power corrupt absolutely
Best comment so far. They thought they could control him in 2016 and he’s owned them ever since. He’s getting his clowns through the senate by threatening primaries and they’re all afraid
one of the many reasons open primaries and ranked choice voting are more democratic and more representative of the public will.
which is why republican HATE it and will try their hardest to prevent it spreading. they need as many roadblocks as possible to get power. they KNOW they are unpopular.
That is why their behavior is so wild. Trump and Musk taunt them and take away all their power. Do they think people do not recognize how feckless they are?
We, the resistance here in the US. The evidence is all of the people that marched today in all 50 states. Your hate is misplaced, my acceptance is never irrelevant.
Nah. They are dickless wimps who can’t legitimately or lawfully create stockpiles of generational wealth for their families without hurting their constituents. Now WE know that THEY know it isn’t just them simply saying yes to a seemingly innocuous bill referendum. They are traitors who sold us out.
The evidence suggests they have neither balls nor spines. TFG made it clear that they and their families are in danger by freeing the violent insurrectionists. He created a paramilitary that is now stronger from being housed together in jail. Not that the GOP had any balls or spines before that.
I suspect most of them believe they are doing the right thing. This is very similar to that feeling one has before heading down a ski JUMP, "hell yeah, it'll be fun they said, we'll rule the world they said.... " SPLAT!
Nope. Though it is less about their testicular fortitude and more about their cognitive ability to comprehend right from wrong. To feel a sense responsibility and shame for not living up to that responsibility. Self righteousness has replaced any sense of duty. We even see this with some Democrats.
Why do so many still insist on calling Republicans cowards? There’s no evidence to support the idea that they’d do better if only they were braver. What if the simplest explanation is that they actually approve of the greed, misogyny, and bigotry that come with supporting Trump?
I would say that’s true, about a lot of them, but I think some are just spineless, and want to get reelected and get that pension, which The Orange Felon will probably cancel anyway.
Some do, some don't. Nearly all of them have no concrete beliefs they are willing and will say or do anything in unison if they believe it will help them win.
well, it is true that a prinipled republican who votes against trump is nearly 100% assured to be voted out at the earliest possible opportunity. so I think one could characterize that as 'being afraid' of doing the principled thing. (of course, suicide is not sustainable; rep. party is broken.)
Perhaps they are greedy and/or power-hungry. Most of these senators are highly educated and wealthy individuals who would be fine if they resigned on principle. The evidence (voting records) suggests that those who remain in office approve of Trump’s bigotry and cruelty.
Yes. It is true that they cannot all be Senator Murkowski of Alaska who won her seat as an independent write in candidate when the GOP refused to support her due to her independence. But to each and every one of the others, I say, you are breaking your oath and putting your career over our country.
I think there’s a lot of both There were many republicans who were once Never Trumpers who later flipped over to the dark side after meeting with Trump, or being threatened with being primaried.
Many (like MTG and Hawley) needed no coercion. But many others are just cowards.
Those “Never Trumpers” voted with and like Trump the vast majority of the time. They approve. I believe many were feigning disgust at Trump’s behavior when they thought the electorate would be appalled by it.
Sure, but not because they are cowards. They saw that their constituents weren’t appalled by his behavior, so they stopped feigning disgust. They approve of the bigotry and Christian/white supremacy. They also love the money and power.
What do you think someone like Ted Cruz would be doing differently? You think he’d be protecting voting rights? Immigrants? LGBTQ people? Nah, he approves of Trump. Now he doesn’t have to pretend he’s morally superior.
So you think they’d ’do the right thing’ if only they were braver? They’d stand up for women’s reproductive rights? Voter’s rights? LGBTQ rights? Immigrants? 🤨
Yep! Like a typical MAGA, in many ways voting against their interest. Not understanding that Congress is in jeopardy itself when the oligarchy takes over.
Do you call racists cowards? Do you call misogynists cowards? Would you call confederates cowards? Are greedy people cowards? Are power hungry people cowards? See what I’m saying?
I'm not sure why this is hard to comprehend. Bullies are always cowards. Yes, the insurrectionists are cowards. They are so afraid of everyone who doesn't look like them or think like them that they are willing to destroy our democracy in order to continue white supremacy in this country.
Apparently, people can not be a [insert reprehensible thing] and also be a coward. Nor can that cowardice inform their being a [insert reprehensible thing]
They approve of the greed and misery, Jen. You hit the nail perfectly on the head! They had the colossal nerve to say they were afraid of the "MAGA violence". Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't They all have provisions to be guarded against that?
I’m related to a few of them & they’re just regular working people who continue to vote against their own interests. Haven’t seen them since the Holidays & Lord knows, I’m not calling them up.
If they continue to just let Trump do whatever the hell he wants, it won’t be very long before he realizes that they are irrelevant. Their impotence will cause them to become obsolete. We should remind them of that.
I have to disagree- per Romney who has opposed some of their actions he can afford the 24/7 security details for himself & his family to protect them from the death threats from their own supporters that those on a Congressional salary cannot even when they privately disagree.. Sad state of affairs
You think so- When I was a customer service supervisor at a Fortune 500’company found out that one of our best CS representatives on my team was a highly qualified CEO of a bank working at that lower level job to survive while he sought a comparable position- and was glad for him when he finally did
My well educated career military officer father was looking for work at the same of higher pay for a full year years ago when he was getting out. Many employers prefer the cheaper younger workers who lack experience to help boost their bottom lines..
My bank executive uncle also was unemployed for a full year before he found a new position and luckily had my father to lend him money to help with the financial situation it created until he was able to do so ( paid back in full)..🤷♀️
Funny you might want to check that theory on linked in since it is the educated well off people that aren’t in government that are struggling to find those jobs not your typical blue collar worker…🤔
Why I am not in support of those term limits every touts for 2 reasons- show me any private sector employee facing a job end date that wouldn’t be looking for the next opportunity & you lose the institutional knowledge when you make constant changes. Why Boeing’s reputation for quality is shot..
If you think those that make that 174k in DC are well off you might be surprised.. Think Tim Waltz.. Yes many are but many who we never hear from are not…🤷♀️ Feel free to price 24/7 security details .. At that rate no one will want to serve on either side and the government will collapse anyways..
Well then doesn't it just sound like those people need a security detail? Where are the 'All threats foreign and domestic' peeps at to guard their bodies?
You mean like the SS protection he just cancelled for Fauci, General Milley, John Bolton and probably others who aren’t loyal to him who have also had active death threats?!
You mean the loyalists who only follow his orders ( like Hitler chose)… why they have been training them for Project 2025.. Go look up who Hitler put in charge of his military- a low level officer entrant instead of the generals that had run it before..sound familiar?
I think there are still some true Republicans and the rest are MAGA Republicans and there is a difference. For instance I could not stand John McCain for a lot of his political stance on subjects, however I did respect the man
Your State can press charges for Abuse of Public Trust, Conspiracy, Sedition, and Treason. State lvl charges that can not be pardoned by trump. Remove Traitors from power, and Impeach.
I'm sick of elected Dems saying they work with some very fine Republicans in Congress. All of them commend Trump's illegal and anti-American actions! They are traitors on the side of evil.

Will it be 1789, 1933 or 1525?
Romans and Germans watched passively as their Republics were dismantled. Will we follow their examples? Time will tell.
Basically, GOP genitalia is useless.
The only one there is a tiny shred of hope for is Murkowski.

If we didn't know before, it's clear now. They care more about their own power and control than they do about the people they "represent."
(although most of the GOP does run to old, white, and male...)
@GOP leaders have cut their balls and donated to Lord Trump before the elections to show their loyalty to him.
..nah…
Countries are living out the residual effects, while people complain about them trying to come for a better life.
People were aware it persisted, though the IMMEDIATE actors were unable to hold office.
https://www.history.com/news/what-was-the-saturday-night-massacre
Which means this country REQUIRES changes with comprehensive policies, ensuring bad activities and actors are not tolerated in this country.
WHO are we???
How do you come UP with this stuff?
#MAGA make the calls! Be loud join us! We unite against war! We both 90% agree! Do welcome!
Surely there are at least a few with a moral compass, but they have no backbone to support it.
Even then, they just blather.
That's obvious...if they're not scared of him they're scared shitless of the koolaid drinking maggots/maga back home.
So we all suffer...😞😣😕
💙😁🐢💙
Welcome to America 2025.
Oh wait…..
That was a serious question?!?!
a) republicans don't know right from wrong
b) republicans fucking everything up is on purpose
Never will.
My view is that the gop is long gone, overran by the nazi magat cult.
But next you could cue the firebrands saying....they don't have the balls to do anything besides vote "no".

Even Turtle McConnell said "I'm glad we're in power".
They do NOT give a 💩 about you or anyone else.
It will continue.
No.
I really hope I'm wrong, but no, they don't.
Many (like MTG and Hawley) needed no coercion. But many others are just cowards.

And, no. I don't.
The combination creature of mud, clay, rock, Trump & Elon.

Lack of empathy
