So what? I've said this before many times, so what? You are all grown ass ppl, so what if you lose this cushy job. There are plenty more cushy jobs to be had. So fucking what?????

lovelessc31.bsky.social•3 days ago

Aaaaand so is Murkowski.

3j1963.bsky.social•3 days ago

Murkowski needs to declare herself an Independent & caucus with the Dems. Anything less is just talk.
Get on the people's team or get off our payroll!

annathevagabond.bsky.social•3 days ago

She's a slightly less irritating Susan Collins.

Still no friend to America.

katphxaz.bsky.social•3 days ago

They should be more worried about the landslide primaries coming from We The People.

echo4.bsky.social•3 days ago

Duty to the country means zero to them. Absolute cowardice.

cmaxmost.bsky.social•3 days ago

And what the fuck is she actually doing? Nothing.

cecilypersephone.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cowards.

wildferalcat76.bsky.social•3 days ago

Profiles in Courage

It’s weird how the ones with the biggest testicles are women

ijustbluemyself.bsky.social•3 days ago

Which women? Certainly not Lisa Murkowski.

winxwar.bsky.social•3 days ago

Liz Cheney

ijustbluemyself.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's the only conservative woman I can think of with any courage.

winxwar.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hey, at least Minkowski said something.
I mean it’s more than any other member of the gop.

tree03.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh please Luz Cheney is no hero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEjAejXvSpE

ijustbluemyself.bsky.social•3 days ago

I didn't call her a hero. But what she did in standing up to Trump and her Republican colleagues after J6 *was courageous.* What word would you use to describe knowingly torpedoing your own political career to do what's right?

underhiseye.bsky.social•1 day ago

No. You didn’t call her a hero. Some people are just looking to be contrary. I think it’s like a hangover from Xitter. It conditioned people to reflexively disagree.

twitchybaro.bsky.social•3 days ago

That should be the bare minimum for all politicians. It isn't a job it's public service and too many of them are using it as just a way to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us.

kickrox.bsky.social•3 days ago

If that’s their attitude then they absolutely should be primaried!

chaoticnwitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gosh, maybe they can get a job working for the park service. I hear there's lots of openings. Wilderness adventures might do them some good. #complicit crybaby cowards

ashleymont.bsky.social•3 days ago

Many of those people have served in the senate for years and should be retired. Why are they clinging to power just so they can bow down to Trump? If you can't stand the heat and do your job as a legislator get out of the kitchen.

steveleibowitz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Others in Congress need to stand by their principles.

enigmalake.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is this what happens when you don't have enough marketable skills that you can get another job? Are these people THAT unemployable?

ozarkstown.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s as if these politicians know the job market isn’t so good for GOP sycophants & boot kissers.

boulderdaisy.bsky.social•3 days ago

So they are willing to ignore their oath and let Trump destroy our democracy because they want to keep their jobs?
Did they ever think that they would win their primary against a MAGA as the country is starting to realize what a disaster this admin is?

alisonkcarter.bsky.social•3 days ago

She’s no profile in courage either…

jb3po.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can assure them their fates will be worse than getting primaries or mean tweets if they don't stand up.

drstevenquest.bsky.social•3 days ago

The antidote to fear is courage, not cowering. Caving to a bully only invites more and worse abuse.

elmeaux.bsky.social•2 days ago

This fact is not new. What is new is that these cowards were silent when there was LESS at stake, and now, these fuckers aren't willing to LEAD, UNITE, and FIGHT for us. FUCK THEM!!

from-garbage-isle.bsky.social•3 days ago

Duck and cover while the institution that you swore to uphold burns around you. She is useless.
