Then get together as a group and have press conference play the recordings you’re getting from Trump supporters. He’s a bully. Take his power over you away from him. He’s a bully. If you can’t stand up, leave.
Seriously, if they’re scared they should quit. They’re clearly not going to stand up to him. They need to quit 🛑immediately and let the next in line come in. While the seats are vacant we will make some damn progress. And hopefully the next in line sees the peril and votes as their region demands.
That was what the coup was for. This is so stupidly predictable it seems absurd that it’s working. It’s like they slowly built fired around our house while our leaders told us don’t worry our house is fire proof. It wasn’t fire proof… and we should have stopped them from building the fires. 🔥
The press should be asking every congress person about this specifically. They should have to address if there is any intimidation influencing their opinions PRIOR to stating what those opinions are
They need to be more afraid of what happens to them if they don't stop Trump, Musk, & Vance. Somehow, the opposition needs to be more fightening than those right-wing terrorists. The rule of law is the only thing protecting us, and they are not protecting it. War is inevitable if they don't act
Shown incentives wise folks see outcomes.
What is happening will lead to racist atrocities that go unpunished, just like during the civil rights era. Because sadists and creeps gravitate toward movements like this, and seek positions of power, and they win promotion.
They are all so are so weak!
On one hand they lie cheat and steal because they can’t compete on an even playing field
And on the other they’re afraid that the mob boss will send his goons.
A scourge that could’ve been avoided so many times over multiple decades… but, white privilege kept them free
It's right out of putin's books, as that's how he took over the kremlin by threatening Yeltsin that his daughter would come to harm if he didn't abdicate the presidency to him.
They are all crooks & thugs in suits, cowards & bullies, nothing more.
It is time for people to rise up in revolution. ✊
There has been a lot of Trumpist Rome analogies. The GOP elected officials seem to be content to become as irrelevant in governing as the Roman Senate did.
All aboard Trump 2.0—same crazy show, but this time, no guardrails.
No Congress to check him, no Court to stop him. A runaway train of grievance, fueled by attention, barreling down tracks of chaos with no engineer, no brakes… and no way off.
Buckle up, my friends...Next stop—the Twilight Zone!
Idiots.
They had so many chances to get rid of Trump.
2 Impeachments and an election where they could have all said, no I just can't support this fascist moron.
Now they face threats from both MAGA and other angry Americans too.
I’m a little hard pressed to think this is wide spread. It feels good because we can believe we’re like one “I’m Spartacus” away from sparking a turn of the tide. An opposing gov’t of those either fully in the tank for Trump or so ethically elastic, they’ve happily molded to power, is much scarier.
The republicans are cowards and an appalling bunch of yellow bellies. Is this the end of the Republican party after their despicable failure to stand up?
1) Pass a law says not that any threats will be fully investigated and prosecuted.
2) Appoint security for Congress until the threats stop.
3) Appoint an IG accountable to Congress ONLY for finding the perpetrators and putting them in jail.
Too much work? Easier to just follow the Dictator? Resign
Slightly OT, but it occurred to me yesterday that headlines describing "threats" by the sitting President somehow only become normal during Republican administrations. How do news people just report on Presidential threats like it's just part of the job?
No. Don’t repost this shit fluff piece from Vanity Fair that essentially excuses GOP from its responsibilities. These (mostly) men are just cowards. Despicable, weak, spineless, self-absorbed, self-interested cowards. Call them out. They disgust us.
Used to be Bannon. Now, it’s Peter Thiel and the 4 other guys, none of whom have the brains for this. Also lest we forget, Trump’s grandfather was a conehead. He has plenty of advice.
My father told me that the reason the Republicans never disowned Trump was that they are afraid of his base. Guess he’s right. Not that this justifies their cowardice. If these idiots actually did their job, they could have dealt with Orange Idiot long ago.
Have since the treasury was compromised. They are under duress by deputized security blackwater etc, mercenary militants that have been itching to be met by any significant resistance for a fucking month now.
If you can’t take heat, get out of the kitchen. The soldiers hit Omaha beach to destroy fascism, even though they knew there was a high probability of death. If any representative is afraid of personal violence from Trump’s goons, that should make them more determined. If they are scared, resign
too fucking bad, it's your job. stand up, face the bully, fight. you took an oath to the constitution, act like it. we're all scared. if you can't stand up, the you should move aside.
Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief
A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman
If musk's reputation continues on its current trajectory, a primary opponent backed by him might be poisoned, not powerful.
But the maga death threats, that ain't goin' away anytime soon. People be gettin' crazier, in direct proportion to rising egg prices.
If they're afraid of political violence now, just give America a couple more months of this overt corruption and see what the public wants to do to them then. 🔥
Hello Mr. Hasan, I’m Zach Kahn, a high school journalist from Charlotte, NC. I recently wrote an article about some of the most unique and unexpected legislation ever proposed in Congress, and I’d be honored if you could take a look when you have a moment. I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
If this is true, and it appears to be, they ( the Republicans) must begin to show courage if - WE THE PEOPLE- have to help protect and support. You can’t be pretend to be a hero and cry wolf when you are in the wolf’s mouth. You must fight back for you to get help. If not, blame yourself.
Elected maggots republicans in fear for their life, let me laugh... They had such a big mouth as to be manly and the crap of feeling emasculated by the lib politic... well, show some balls now and protect the democracy. You are the ones who should overthrow the tyrant.
First the supreme court. Then congress.
The concentration camps are open.
Fascism isn't coming. It's here.
Right now.
Felon47 is only tying up the loose ends.
Musk is gathering the information to make it easier to round up the people they want to put in the camps.
Millions in this country are heavily armed. This is a very under spoken layer in the discussion. The fear may turn in a different direction when those people are unemployed or have lost their healthcare or both. Luigi is popular for a reason.
I don’t want to hear about the “scared 💩less Congress”!
Zelensky is in Ukraine standing with his people in a war torn country…he has had over 30 death threats on his life!! We need people who are willing to stand up and FIGHT for our US and our Democracy! They are supposed to be FOR THE PEOPLE!!
I have always felt a big protest is coming, one that would completely scare the political class. My fear is Trump might use the military on civilians when people eventually take to the streets.
If bad guys aren't punished, they return stronger than ever. BillBarr, for example, rubberstamped Bush1's roundabout self-pardon for IranContra and, decades later, squashed the MuellerRpt. Then there's all those ICBMs that get more numerous every year, and healthcare that costs more than it covers.
Repub town halls are starting to get heated. People are pissed. They want their rep to stand up. If enough of them do, and are willing to be primaried by Trump, how is the next MAGA candidate going to be any more attractive? People - red and blue - are starting to see thru all thus BS.
No doubt that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Liz Cheney, Elizabeth Warren have received more than their share of death threats. They continue to have the courage to speak out and resist.
If they don't grow a spine, they will definitely have political violence. They should take a page from Navalny's book and do what's right in the face of violence. You won't stop violence by giving in to it.
Fucking cowards! Does this nation and honor mean nothing?! Do the right thing at work and then arm yourself at home and if any MAGA nut-jobs enter your home…end their lives. Good god…grow a pair! So frustrating! Stand for something…little fucking babies!
And…no job or congressional seat is worth your honor or your soul! Do the right thing…always. Even if that means switching parties or losing your seat. Fuck! This isn’t that difficult! Honor, truth, ethics, morality. Stand tall…go hard! Be strong in the face of this shit!
Maybe they should give a little thought to what could happen when you're firing FBI, CIA and military personnel. There was a nasty town hall meeting with a repub representative in Georgia. There were a lot of people quite mad at him because he supported Trump, not because he didn't.
“With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.”
Their willingness to accommodate him will further relinquish their power. One day they will wake up to being unemployed themselves. What purpose do they serve if Trump is King and they are merely props? Eventually he will kick them to the curve. It’s time they grow a spine!
I forgot the 😉. So sorry. I make typos all the time! 😅 I was just trying to make a stupid joke but I definitely didn't intend for it to imply anythjng other than a typo.
(I frequently miss my own)
They can't see over the horizon - because they aren't looking out, only in. The GOP put up a bunch of impotent shoe-gazers who can't see past their salaries and perks, with zero concern for constituents.
It's time to get their attention.
Insist. Resist. Persist.
The threat is Elon’s CPAC chainsaw stunt radicalizing thousands of unemployed public & private sector employees who are drowning in debt, mentally exhausted from prolonged stress, and have nothing to lose because oligarchs have stolen anything valuable for decades
Wrong. Musk is a monster but after Trump and Musk burn themselves out, we're stuck with millions of morons filled with propaganda and meth with a moron's desire to wreak vengeance on those they've been told are their enemies.
Agree: Trump is a megalomaniac w/age-related cognitive decline
Musk is a ketamine-addicted megalomaniac
(monsters)
1/3-1/4 MAGA live on Earth 2
Disagree: Dear Ldrs, cuts affect MAGA the most & they’re in the find-out phase. Sh*t gets real when YOU lose your job & govt assist instead of “Others”
I hope MAGA comes to realize how many people are being savaged by Trump's gallop through their lives, wrecking careers and paychecks families rely on. I'm just stunned by how many folks have been plunged into chaos and the people who voted for him must know how wrong they were.
And that’s the way they did it in Germany. Huge kudos (/s) to the GOP, which could have stopped this in its tracks if any of them had been brave and selfless/patriotic enough to stand up to the menace as it was first forming.
Ridiculous.

The threat of political violence is informing trump’s grip on REPUBLICANS in congress
DEMOCRATS are having no problem voting against and speaking out.
REPUBLICANS ARE COWARDS pass it on
Exactly. Talk to me after the first incident. The way things are trending it’s a matter of weeks before vigilante justice begins. All these cowards are gonna get strung up - and they deserve it.
The courageous ones you cite have integrity, the R's who live by their lies do it for their perks, an income, some clout and security as long as they promote Republican policies. They sold out their integrity when they became Republicans.
If just a few of them in the house and senate stood up with a spine, it would make a difference. No, not rotating the 2-3 senators who vote no for a cabinet pick. Just a couple more to be brave enough to make a difference.
Why don’t they just recognize their unique power, get together & legislatively repeal Citizens United so they can’t be primaried with money, and bravely do their jobs as public servants who serve under oath?
Wtf is „political violence“ supposed to be? That’s just a bunch of spineless, incompetent cowards making up a bullshit term as an excuse for their inaction.
THAT is what pisses me off the most; they all know they've promoted monster Trump from the start; lie after lie. When there was a clear path to end his reign of terror, they extended it. This all falls on them.
Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to get a billionaire or two to put up $ for round the clock security for these people or something then so they can get their shit together.
They should resign then! From the moment they announce their candidacy for Congress, they should know they have a target on their back for harassment and potential violence.
and of course it’s mostly women who have the balls to stand up to TFG. a majority of women have had to deal with that patriarchal/bullying/gaslighting crap at some point in their lives and are OVER IT. if only the rest of our elected officials (AND THE MEDIA) would man up.
People this cowardly should not be running or elected to a position that requires strength, and integrity. I can understand fear, but not this is EXACTLY how Nazis were able to exterminate people. Too afraid to stand up and people willing to sacrifice others for themselves🤷♀️
I don't fall for the scared bit ....GOP wanted government to be gutted, been the republican way.... etc. Their moto:Target immigrants and liberals. Don't come for me, go for them. Part of the deal with the devil.
Well they should find their spine and stand up for democracy. Currently they fear losing a primary. Their actions should never be about their own job security.
Congressional leaders where not voted into office by trump. They where voted into off by the people in their states. That’s who they work for and suppose to be working for. Trump the bully can’t do anything to change that. So what the fuck are they afraid off? Themselves or threats?
Country is a dumpster fire. The piece makes a great point that there is no reason for the upheaval. For Trump, the only reason is staying out of prison. For everyone else, it’s what? Pronouns?
How sad it is knowing that they all could save democracy if all they all stood up together. That is how Trump and Musk’s game would end. Fear is the only thing that gives cowards and bullies power. If we all stop giving into the fear, they would run away like the tiny “men” they are.

NOW A WORD TO THE TRULY STOOPID ABOUT THAT gr8 elon trump economy.....are ya better off than you were 3 weeks ago ? How's dem prices of EGGS, any lower ?
They apparently are still very much full of shit because they ain't saying anything!
Do we have to wait until they explode with shit before there is some action?
So then is the answer more Luigi’s so they can decide which side they need to be more scared of? And what happens when all the policies upset the MAGA base? Aren’t they scared of that?
So, here we are, then. One quarter into the 21st Century. Still no idea how to deal with tyrants, keep the Earth habitable, feed and house the poor, or even manage preventable disease, apparently.
Seems like humanity is destined to compete itself out of existence.

Meanwhile AOC, Crockett and Warren are out there everyday speaking truth to power.
No pity for these fools.

So what ?
It is so predictable and McConnell was a fool to think he could control it.
There is no reason to trust that they didn't want what is happening to happen.
Both stories are evidence of their cowardice. None should be given a moments peace about that.
2) Appoint security for Congress until the threats stop.
3) Appoint an IG accountable to Congress ONLY for finding the perpetrators and putting them in jail.

Zero sympathy.
He tried to during the BLM protests, but the people around him stopped it.
Those people are all sycophants now, and they are interested in conflict.
Please do go protest, but keep your eyes up about it.
It will not be safe.

Who aren’t cowardly pieces of shit do the job?
Abolish the entire republican party. No morals, no values, no courage, and certainly no fucking leadership.
Stay safe down there eh.
2) it isn't about cost savings since labor is only 1.7% to 4% (depends on source) of the federal budget so if they fired 10% it is only .17% of costs
