Gosh, scepticism stopped Hitler, didn't it?

#SenatorWicker should stand by this and bring in a few other morally based GOPers to work with @senatedemocrats.bsky.social to do what’s necessary to keep our country safe and secure.

Do whatever is necessary!!

What’s this a republican with a critical comment?

archeo-peterix.bsky.social•18 days ago

His skepticism carries about as much weight as one of his geriatric shits.🤬

markbrandriss.bsky.social•18 days ago

Never in a hundred years would I have guessed that a majority of people who clawed their way into the US Senate would have no interest whatsoever in using or preserving the governing powers of the US Senate. I guess they just like being called Senator So-and-so and being paid for it.

“Skepticism” he must be friends with Collins.

Sell Tesla - Bring Elon down. Tesla stock could be hiding in your ETFs - make sure you sell those and get Tesla out of your portfolio. Elon operates with debt backed by Tesla stock. If the stock gets low enough it will trigger his ruin. How many people hate this guy? If enough of us act together…

Elmo will threaten to spend $100 million to primary him and he'll fall back into line

There’s a free pass into the history books for a handful of Republican Senators. They don’t need to take an anti-MAGA position, only a pro-constitution position.

clemensd1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh, they’ll be in the history books alright- just not in a way they’ll like

ndixon.bsky.social•18 days ago

That would require guts and a conscience. The chances of any Republican senators having both ...

Literally four of them in a room making an agreement could save the world. LITERALLY.

zparks.bsky.social•18 days ago

And those four would become very powerful players. There is something in it for them. You know, in case saving the world isn’t enough.

jonsternfeld.bsky.social•18 days ago

Right. They could be total selfish dicks about it too. I don’t even care at this point.

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•18 days ago

But now pro-constitution is, by definition, anti-MAGA.

smarmyeod.bsky.social•18 days ago

That’s not how GOP politicians should spin it, though.

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•18 days ago

They're too busy cowering trying not to do anything that would make Trump notice them to spin anything.

smarmyeod.bsky.social•18 days ago

k, and?

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•18 days ago

My point is that announcing what GOP politicians "should" do is kind of like announcing that toddlers should clean their rooms and eat their vegetables. True, perhaps, but pointless. None of them have the will or intelligence to do what they should.

sagastar.bsky.social•18 days ago

unfortunately those are the same thing and have been for a long time.

larrydavid25.bsky.social•18 days ago

i agree - instant worldwide fame. it's such low-hanging fruit
or choose to be listed among the cowards and traitors who wrecked the country. it's an actual choice facing these people

oxahath.bsky.social•18 days ago

So tragic that none of these concerned individuals have any power to do something. Maybe he and Susan Collins can start a support group or something.

firelily022.bsky.social•18 days ago

They just say stuff to pretend they object but then they roll over, just like what happened with Kennedy Jr.’s appointment.

I feel like most of them can't decide who to be loyal to, Russia or China.

123switch.bsky.social•18 days ago

If only he had connections in Congress!

iammamaboo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Right, because that entire party has shown that they have a backbone and will stand up to this administration.

kylewoodley.bsky.social•18 days ago

No spines, no balls, no brains, no loyalty to country.

But...but...think about his childr- I mean stock portfolio! Can't be leaving those poor poor oligarch shareholders out in the cold with no quarter over quarter infinite profits to keep them fed!
