Please hurry up and leave now.
I don’t understand why these butthurt republicans don’t just start voting against trump. Like somehow the only options are toe the party line or resign.
Someone has dirt on them.
The Madison Cawthorne orgies probably.
They’re afraid. Trump has more or less blacklisted every dissident from the party and its allies. It’s a career ending move and he’s even threatening some people with criminal charges.
I mean obviously they should do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. But they didn’t get to where they are by pursuing public good over their own personal well-being.
Because apart from Trump, they want to toe the party line.
If a few Republican House members resign then the Democrats take the majority. Democrats can take out Trump and do whatever else they want to help people. Meanwhile the former House members can sit on the sidelines and blame Democrats (specifically for non-Trump things).
But what about the Senate? Basically the hope is that everyone will forget what you’ve done. Look at the recent shutdown bill, the Senate Democrats who gave up everything aren’t up for reelection anytime soon. That thing they did 5 years ago? I don’t really remember what that was about.
Yeah, what’s the point of a Congress if no one is allowed to do what they think is right. Everyone on the Republican side in Congress is just a rubber stamp.
People w/o spines don’t just grow them like Chia Pets. If they don’t have the guts to fight, they need to go. Even if they opposed one item — that wouldn’t be it. Democracy won’t survive silence.
Trump has an army of blackshirts he let out of jail. They will threaten and/or kill.
They’re gonna take their lifetime pensions, millions in insider trading, and high value contacts, and get thw fuck out before the music stops.
They’ll get a golden parachute job as a highly paid lobbyist, and be right back in the rotunda, schmoozing with all their old buddies by the end of the month.
And long-term special guest spots as being a victim and “Surviving My MAGA Nightmare” anchors on Fox?
No. Please stop.
These days, every time I hear good news I think, “How am I being played on this?” There is always a catch, it’s fake, or it’s a bold-faced lie. There just isn’t good news anymore.
Here’s what I think MTG is planning.
If we get a Blue wave next year [fingers crossed] she’ll be able to go on all the news shows and blame Trump.
Expect her to say something along these lines “I was all for Donald Trump, but like you, I was betrayed. But no one man is bigger than MAGA…”
She’s setting herself up for a Georgia Senate seat.
Potentially. I think she wants to be a Fox News anchor.
Okay, I’m not an expert here, but I’m pretty sure Senator is a better gig.
I defiantly see your point, but if we were betting I’d put my money on Senate.
Better returns when you play the insider trader market, so I see what you mean.
And you get to call yourself “The Honorable…”
Not sure she really fits their “visual aesthetic”
Fox was accidentally put on our work TVs today (usually CNN which isn’t much better). For some reason I was able to see past the makeup and I’m pretty much every host they have now is just the Crypt Keeper underneath 20 pounds of the stuff.
I like the anchor part.
Or the end result will be worse for society.
And pedo
If only they hadn’t supported a wannabe despot
Fairly sure this was predicted months ago, with the triggering event being the recent elections that were swept by the dems. The prediction was basically that if it looked like they were going to lose control of any of the houses, there’d be a ton of people trying to put distance between themselves and the govt as there’s a higher likelihood they’ll get prosecuted for crimes. So the early resignations, and attempts to “apologize” are mostly just about trying to avoid accountability for their actions – rats fleeing a sinking ship.
furious House Republican
You’re going to have to be more specific. They’re always mad about something stupid
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen,” they told Punchbowl.
It’s not just members of the House. They treat everyone like garbage. They’re narcissists who don’t give a shit about anyone else.
It’s almost like if you support and elect a dictator…
They are probably trying to get out in front of something bad enough that their lifetime benefits may be revoked. Better to leave with a little than stay and lose it all.
And yet they all fall in line when it’s time to c vote. How angry can they really be?
There is a lot of policy failure and blowback that contributes to this, but I like to think the party and the people are finally unable to tolerate Trump’s narcissistic abuse.
This idea of a government based on the destruction of perceived enemies is not sustainable, and is constantly eating itself for sustenance. At some point, you have to actually figure out where money for food is going to come from and screaming into the void about Democrats, immigrants, and abortion doesn’t pay the bills. The American people need healthcare, housing, education, childcare, food, and hope. NOT ICE raids, bizarre southern military excursions, shutdowns, and traumatized federal workers.
To me, this is a wonderful reminder that our votes still matter, and our system - as large and slow and complex as it is - has careful structure and momentum. The Republican Party still must respond as such.
Party of traitors, pedofiles and Cowards
G.O.P. stands for Guardians of Pedophiles.
They’ll all quit and Trump will declare congress is no longer necessary
