Not enough

pjobes.bsky.social•71 days ago

But they don’t stand by it. They never do, didn’t we learn that after Jan 6?

calidem43.bsky.social•71 days ago

A little f..king late I think 😡😡😡

angrycitizenx.bsky.social•71 days ago

Sure, now that checks and balances is an antiquated concept mild criticism is permitted.

janicew1960.bsky.social•65 days ago

Lindsey Graham flips flops all the time. I wouldn't depend on him.

doug-profitt.bsky.social•71 days ago

Mitch McConnell can SUCK ASS.

He fucking CREATED Trump.

jcgrx.bsky.social•71 days ago

Well I don’t disagree; but you have to go back to Gingrich who created the idea of party voting,

doug-profitt.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yeah - I hate them both.

anneofbrooklyn.bsky.social•67 days ago

Following you both because words fail me at this point in reference to Trump.

mimi1016.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just imagine if a few of these Senators did the right thing and impeached him when they had a chance (twice). Despicable people

mimi1016.bsky.social•71 days ago

A bit late in the game!

mimi1016.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just imagine if they impeached him when they should have? They deserve this chaos 100%. We do not.

oleosophy.bsky.social•71 days ago

If only a few more of them had the spine to vote against Hegseth. What a travesty.

mr-ewe.bsky.social•71 days ago

Sure, they're all publicly criticizing him. But will they do anything to stop or slow him? Fuck no!

commonfence.bsky.social•69 days ago

TOO LATE!!! Gov. Brian Kemp really pisses me off!

jjbluiz.bsky.social•71 days ago

Capito. Really? What did she say and to whom?

dangergirl6.bsky.social•71 days ago

Can you list the democrats who have..
I’m sure the list will be much shorter

romli490.bsky.social•70 days ago

Too little too late. I hope they’re utterly miserable and stay that way for the rest of their lives.

elizabeth088.bsky.social•71 days ago

*Capito

thekasey.bsky.social•71 days ago

But they will flip flop

staidwinnow.bsky.social•71 days ago

Only three voted against Hegseth so, they don't mean it.

deslanek.bsky.social•71 days ago

And yet they are filling his cabinet of curiosities.

mjjc.bsky.social•71 days ago

A day late and a dollar short

katemhs27.bsky.social•65 days ago

But will DO NOTHING but performative outrage....

derekistired.bsky.social•71 days ago

Give 'em all a gd cookie?

redhawksoaring1.bsky.social•65 days ago

And they will still vote for what he and his business partner Elon wanted

midnightsun49.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is not about politics—this is about the survival of our nation, our democracy, and national security

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment must be used and then impeachment proceedings can proceed

isthisreallyathing.bsky.social•67 days ago

Time for them to start voting accordingly!

raphymursi.bsky.social•71 days ago

I think they’re just mad they haven’t been invited into the new swamp.

ld2.bsky.social•71 days ago

At least it's a start. As long as they don't crumble.

jakepe.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yet they keep confirming his people and don’t actually speak out. Let’s not give them praise just yet.

iammstish.bsky.social•70 days ago

That part!!

painterpaws.bsky.social•71 days ago

None of them have the cohones to stand up to the bully-

tjaskren.bsky.social•71 days ago

Too little too late. Still bootlickers.

caligal59.bsky.social•71 days ago

I don’t believe Cotton would criticize him what did he say?

elainett.bsky.social•71 days ago

As predicted…He’s up for reelection.
Time to start prioritizing the optics of those you were *intended to represent v. Magalodon

amwar25.bsky.social•70 days ago

Hawley and Scott were just reelected in 24, so they are safe for now

jointheunionus.bsky.social•70 days ago

Let's grow this list!

And if you live in KY, AR, GA, SC, AK, ME or WV, contact your Senator and thank him or her for their statement critical of Trump and encourage them to continue to speak out when deserved. They are hearing from the MAGA crowd. Let them hear from ALL of their constituents.

therealjvk.bsky.social•71 days ago

Maybe, but how many actually voted against him on anything that matters. Norm and Hedspeth in, so far.

therealjvk.bsky.social•70 days ago

*Hegseth

sajeffe.bsky.social•71 days ago

And?

bseadeer.bsky.social•71 days ago

So will the vote no for confirming unqualified candidates…their constituents are already being treated poorly due to Trump’s tariffs, immigration raids, the economy being made worse

patiencespade.bsky.social•70 days ago

And what are they going to do? They facilitated this.

katefox1.bsky.social•71 days ago

They confirmed hegseth. When they start standing up for things like that I’ll feel hopeful, not until.

rosemaryblewis.bsky.social•71 days ago

Was Kemp mad that he got put in the back room at the Inauguration?

rosesgma.bsky.social•70 days ago

Way too little. Way too late.

alaneckman.bsky.social•71 days ago

so?

iride-piaffe.bsky.social•71 days ago

Their "criticisms" are the equivalent of "thoughts and prayers". It means NOTHING, and they are not even worth a mention. #PATHETIC

kimbermacv.bsky.social•71 days ago

But they knew what they were getting.

megheket.bsky.social•71 days ago

They didn't have much to say in October last year ..... weird! Almost like they tried to cover this shit up just so they could get into the Whitehouse.

They knew he was like this!

jastron13849.bsky.social•71 days ago

They all bend the knee

philliefan99.bsky.social•71 days ago

Very small. Too small.

frankieoffensive.bsky.social•70 days ago

I appreciate the attempt at optimism here, but repubs lack spine and morals. They'll fall in line like good little magats.

chi-town-aquaman.bsky.social•70 days ago

Means nothing Amy, sadly. They will all fall in line

sastanleynofo.bsky.social•71 days ago

The plan is to slowly distance from trump, impeach him and put Vance in charge.

jmb3.bsky.social•71 days ago

This is a step for them. Tho Lindsey was courageous one day after Jan 6 and then crumpled in front of the FF.

3cupsofcoffee.bsky.social•71 days ago

Then they wither away and do nothing when it counts.

sharondon.bsky.social•71 days ago

It doesn’t matter what they say - their actions speak louder

thefakevince.bsky.social•71 days ago

… uh huh.
Call me when they actually stand up to him. Until then their words aren’t worth piss.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•71 days ago

Most of them will walk it back or pretend they never said it.

spudchapp.bsky.social•71 days ago

It doesn’t matter if they still vote the way he wants. Let them put their money where their mouths are!

pgene.bsky.social•71 days ago

They’re but a single teardrop in a large bucket; we need a deluge of criticism!

arealpipperoo.bsky.social•71 days ago

Tom Cotton?!

patriciacampbell.bsky.social•71 days ago

Criticism isn't going to stop him, rather it will enflame him.

Too little.

Far too late.

turtlewax.bsky.social•71 days ago

The sad part of this is if they would have stood up the first time we wouldn't be going through this bullshit now!

melig1990.bsky.social•71 days ago

They can all sit in the pile of 💩 they created.

jaynep-az.bsky.social•71 days ago

We need to move beyond mild criticism and on to explicit rage and resistance.

nae505.bsky.social•71 days ago

But some of them still voted for Hegseth. They need to put their votes where their mouths are.

imdoctorremulak.bsky.social•70 days ago

With all due respect, who gives a shit?

fourcatsandadog.bsky.social•65 days ago

Bit late

majodaga.bsky.social•71 days ago

Cotton and Graham? What did they say? The last I heard they're fawning over him as usual.

chichi60.bsky.social•71 days ago

Does not matter they let a felon be their candidate, and as far as turtle goes if he did his job in January 2021, none of this would be taking place

sanderson0412.bsky.social•71 days ago

Now if they will vote with their criticism!

slandrews54.bsky.social•67 days ago

And yet they cast controversial votes! That’s the way, keep toeing the Republican line!

pablocookiebar.bsky.social•65 days ago

And yet, have done nothing. 👍🏾

charitysharealike.bsky.social•71 days ago

Not enough. Not nearly enough.

debimass.bsky.social•71 days ago

Waiting for the day when they don’t vote for his nominations

savannahlime.bsky.social•70 days ago

Wow! Is #govbriankemp finally growing a pair?! Too little too late🫤

solosojourner.bsky.social•70 days ago

Aren’t they all up for re-election in 2026? They can’t ride non-existent coattails and they had to consider the risk of a primary challenger being backed by 47. They’d rather risk a primary challenge, which means they don’t think a 47 backed candidate could win in their primary races.

lilylighthouse.bsky.social•71 days ago

Talk is cheap.

jamesmcgowan.bsky.social•71 days ago

At least a few stood up for the wellbeing of 50,000 wildfire victims that he’s holding hostage, for his whacked out foreign policies, and for terrorizing US citizens with his illegal ICE detentions.

glowsonlychild.bsky.social•71 days ago

The only consistent one is Murkowski. The others are all complicit.

georgesnorewell.bsky.social•71 days ago

But they'll approve RFK Jr. for Health Secretary. Watch.

drhersey.bsky.social•47 days ago

@amysiskind.bsky.social keep fighting the good fight. Just read the comments to this post, the majority are negative and profanity laced, not productive. Write your representatives and do good in your local community. Participate in local elections. It will take some time, but we can do it.

indigokar.bsky.social•71 days ago

Hopefully they'll turn on him and this administration and save democracy. Here's to praying 🙏

celticsun.bsky.social•71 days ago

Thank you for sharing this

jawsrecliner.bsky.social•71 days ago

And yet....they still rubber stamped his Cabinet nominations

nojiveturkey.bsky.social•71 days ago

And he'll sic his SS on them at some point, good luck y'all. And suzie cray collins can

hansenvj.bsky.social•71 days ago

And yet all but three still voted for Hegseth. Go figure.

seanstewart.bsky.social•71 days ago

Would have been nice to see some more of those senators vote against our Imbiber in Chief’s appointment to the DOD

lizajaneite.bsky.social•71 days ago

Who did they vote for?

politicalpa.bsky.social•71 days ago

Unless they *do something* then it doesn’t mean much

meshuggahyamgazlen.bsky.social•71 days ago

Wake me when they impeach and remove him...

friedmansmith.bsky.social•66 days ago

I’m wondering what the line is for this. When they round up all the undocumented folks and force thousands of farmers out of business, will that be what drives an impeachment? I’m very curious about this.

friedmansmith.bsky.social•66 days ago

I suppose that’s not an impeachable offense, but farmers vote republican. They got al Capone on tax evasion 🤷‍♂️

meshuggahyamgazlen.bsky.social•66 days ago

Capone didn't control nearly half the electorate, nor justices with lifetime appointments. One hope is the very people who elected him remove him, 6th Jan style, like they had prepared for his prior VP.

pointy58.bsky.social•70 days ago

And they are all KKKowards & polidiots. They can not be trusted, ever!
RepubliKKKlownz are terrible for USA.

parisdog.bsky.social•70 days ago

meh. a bunch also criticized him after J6

padraigelliot.bsky.social•71 days ago

and yet Hegseth and Noem were both confirmed. What's the point?

birderpa.bsky.social•71 days ago

BFD—Words are cheap and a lot of this is McConnell’s fault for stealing our Supreme Court seat.

marketads2.bsky.social•71 days ago

The plan is to engage NATO in Europe with Greenland so they don’t have enough to watch Ukraine. Also Panama for Central and South America. Also Canada for the Five Eyes. Watch out. This is the plan. Russia & China will aid.

exhausted202412.bsky.social•70 days ago

they’d all sell their mother

tspeck.bsky.social•71 days ago

Too late - on them

karleesyr.bsky.social•70 days ago

Let’s see what they say next week.

They’re never 100% committed to disagreeing with Trump.

They’re supposed to represent the people .

polifry.bsky.social•71 days ago

means nothing. these people love to posture and pretend they’re standing up for something only to look the other way. pathetic.

friedmansmith.bsky.social•66 days ago

What do we think the deal is? McConnell is retiring so he’s not grasping for power anymore. Why are the rest of them so bold?

zefirotorna.bsky.social•71 days ago

So far they haven’t done anything but give Trump absolute power.

tfabobbiek.bsky.social•71 days ago

Fuck all of them! We are in this nightmare because of their weaknesses and ignorance up to this point. They get no gold star on their foreheads

mrcm3.bsky.social•71 days ago

Unfortunately, a very small list.

jcgrx.bsky.social•71 days ago

And then they fall in line the next day. They still suck

nunki318.bsky.social•71 days ago

I miss your weekly lists, Amy!

hereweare2.bsky.social•71 days ago

Come on GOP. Get it together and resist fascism and this huge threat to our democracy. Dems and Republicans need to come together against this tyranny. It’s real, my country. Come on! #tyranny #uniteAndresist #stopTHIS

followtruth.bsky.social•71 days ago

The sorrow and pain they have caused the American people will follow them around forever.

polflyn.bsky.social•71 days ago

All the complicit asswipes cry crocodile tears
