Trump uses intimidation to induce fearful GOP politicians to do his bidding, such as voting to confirm his cabinet of clowns and conspiracists. By allowing themselves to be so easily cowed, however, those Republican "leaders" have placed others in far more serious danger, @playtyperguy.com explains. - ThreadSky

Murkowski is an evil woman who hates minorities and hates Obama with every fiber in her body. She deserves zero sympathy and no one needs to listen to her speak with a forked tongue from both sides of her mouth. Lisa and Susan Collins are ashamed to be women and wish to punish all ambitious women.

She’s widely supported in indigenous people of Alaska. She voted to keep the ACA. She’s a politician, but she’s not evil.

I’m all for accountability, but your generalizations are ridiculous.

Oh, I forgot that Hitler had a dog. I apologize.

vagina-monster.bsky.social•1 day ago

Would you rather Hitler or the dog? Those were our choices last election.

I hope she finds her voice, bucks the system, and runs as Independent. But until then, I’ll remind her of her duty to her constituents - ALL of them.

She's a traitor to Democracy.

Give them all body guards and let’s get the country back

iwillhandlethis.bsky.social•1 day ago

She can resign, freely.

Problem is this is her best chance to make $$$$

So she plays ball.

She’s worse than a coward. She’s an accomplice

Republicans more recently feared being primaried & losing office when opposing Trump. Now, they fear being physically targeted by Trump's brownshirts and MAGA goons. It's a legitimate fear and one that should motivate everyone who cares about saving this nation to oppose Trump before it's too late.

Thanks for sharing!

These politicians claim to be fearful for their families safety, but how can they look them in the face after allowing Trump’s power grabs? It makes their family less safe, and it makes our families less safe. Do not take the seat of power if you are unwilling to wield it and protect everyone.

libraryriotgrrl.bsky.social•1 day ago

I understand the very human fear of personal safety and the safety of your family, and loved ones. I understand the idea of being afraid to stand up in the hopes of avoiding physical violence. But these politicians took the seat and the power, and in turn, promised to stand up for all of us.

YES!!! This is another example of Republicans only caring about something if it is happening to them.

ratatouillecat.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m so sick of her. Can we get someone in there that will fight for a sane America?

akajuhlz.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would suspect that cowed Republicans are a low percentage of overall GOP legislators and that the vast majority not only approve of what's going on, but are perfectly happy to stay silent while Trump et. al take the flak.

We are all realizing what cowards Congress members really are.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that actions/agreements made under duress are not legally enforceable.

So, if a mob boss president is going around threatening everyone...

America gas become a mob state.

these cowards will fill history books as the cause of global catastrophe

arnoldziffel.bsky.social•1 day ago

The entire Republican Party has become pathetic simps to a shitty conman.

It’s embarrassing.

lmsimon4.bsky.social•1 day ago

If the majority of the GOP are fearful, then band together to show strength. Trump can't retaliate on a large group speaking truth in his own party. They knew what the public spotlight was when they took these jobs. You can't cry wolf now.

Calling Murkowski a leader is an insult to the word leader

mikie345.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump ordering the death of politicians is kind of 'far fetched'. Ordering the death of their careers is currently more in line.

mkholland.bsky.social•1 day ago

Classic mob tactics. Trump is a crime boss. Simple as that.

pucksnponies.bsky.social•1 day ago

If they’re so afraid of retaliation visiting their families at home, pack your family up, move them to someplace safe in Europe while you stay behind to defend the Constitution from these domestic enemies. Or step down and remain a coward.

We got 10 million signatures to force Congress to impeach him before so it's doable.

This one has the best language thus far:

Like the federal judge that was arrested in Wisconsin! Real danger here! Stand up now!

tartan37.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can hang separately or we can all hang together. In the end, I hope I have the moral fortitude and spine to tell Trump and his minions to go fuck themselves.
Nuts!
