You asked what senate republicans “think”. They don’t. They get in line
@MercilessIndianSavage 🍄🪐🇺🇦🇺🇸@jimwillis48.bsky.social · 12h agoI wonder if Senate Republicans look at trumps cabinet and say those are the best of the best? Or do they think like normal people and say what the fuck? No more clowns or criminals! Refuse Todd Blanche!
Murkowski has courage and integrity. I believe she will vote no. Thst of course would cause Susan Collins to wet herself since her self proving vote would then sink Blanche.
Human☮@4humanunity.bsky.social · yesterdaySenator Murkowski, You demanded Epstein transparency and voted to convict Trump for insurrection, one of only two Republicans left from that vote. The senator who knew what Trump was all along wouldn't put his personal attorney in charge of the DOJ. Leave a legacy. Vote NO on Blanche.
I am retrial post a picture of his bone spurs that never existed
Carol@mdgbrkr.bsky.social · 10h agoTrump posting memes of himself as a General when he was too cowardly to serve in our military at all!! That is called "stolen value." It's also called FRAUD.
If Cruz thought it would get him votes he would claim the democrats want to ban child birth
Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 5h agoThe medicine is bitter…but it heals. (If not, at least it makes me feel better.)
I wonder if Trump has ever had scalding water thrown on him?
Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 5h agoAsked about Rep.Max Miller, Trump said, “I feel badly for him.” I think that was spoken from one scum bag…to another.
Jack, it isn’t about the economy it is about what he can loot. But you knew that. I am just venting
Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 3h agoDONALD. TRUMP. THIS. IS. THE. WORST. ECONOMY. FOR. MOST. AMERICANS. AND. IT. IS BECAUSE. OF. YOU.
Cassidy and Murkowski say they are undecided on Blanche. Remember that Cassidy caved on RFK jr. imagine if they both vote no and they force Susan Collins to switch to a yes (after saying Blanche had given her “private assurances” that he isn’t a big crook and will be less so if confirmed
The greatest irony is that Cornyn and Tillis, because of the slim GOP majority in the senate, had absolute power to “rein in Trump”. They just chose to let him continue to destroy democracy. May they rot in hell. They had the power and the opportunity and chose to not use it.
Angry Byrd@tylerbigbyrd.bsky.social · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president" Think about that America... A sitting US Senator acting like he cannot do a fkng thing about Trump, while he continues to vote to do nothing about Trump.
If the democrat in your voting district fails to stand for everything you believe in you have two choices: vote for him/her anyway; or stay home and watch the republican win who fails to stand for anything you believe in and likely stands for everything you hate
I wondered what Cornyn was so afraid of that he sold his vote on Blanche for nothing. Then it hit me. He wants to be a lobbyist. How can he lobby Trump unless he kisses Trump’s ass. He sold his vote no doubt. But he got something, a way to make money lobbying
Trump shares the guilt that Putin earned. Imagine an American president refusing to help a country attacked by Russia. Trump is a Russian asset
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 12h ago17+ people were killed and over 40 injured in deadly Russian strikes on Kyiv. Zelenskyy has pleaded for more air defence weapons, saying ballistic missile interceptors “could have saved the lives of those killed today.” Trump backtracked on his promise to let Ukraine manufacture missiles locally.
Susan Collins has said she is a no on Blanche. That means she has been told there are eyes votes so she can look like she has a conscience. It would be so funny is somehow his confirmation actually came down to her vote. She would become a yes faster than explosive diarrhea can soul your pants
Any democratic candidate will do more to help ordinary Americans than the republican candidate. It is not hard. Get over being any that your favorite democrat lost the primary. Get rid of litmus tests. Don’t be afraid that one “too liberal” democrat will create communism. Fear the republican
David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social · 17h agoWith primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.
If only senators could vote no when it takes a no to stop tyranny.
General Strike@ivanasstaircam.bsky.social · 2d agoNever forget: republicans not only sold their souls, they sold out the country, the rule of law and your freedom. It’s their job to rein him in. They chose not to.
If Cornyn were a book you would look at the cover and be convinced that it was a book worth reading. Then you would open it and find nothing but blank pages. Here was a man who had the power to do good things and did nothing. At his end, with nothing to lose, he lost his chance at a legacy
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · yesterdayMy Latest: I am not a gambler. But if I were, I would always bet against congressional Republicans acting with integrity or demonstrating political courage. newsletters.democracydocket.com/tillis-and-c...
Hey asshole. A divorce is fine. This was an attack by a man on his wife and child this is not domestic violence. This is criminal assault. Maybe someone should pour scalding water on you and see if you consider it a family matter
Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social · yesterdayTrump disagrees?
The answers Cornyn gave about his Blanche vote are a disaster. He would be remembered more fondly had he just remained quiet and shit in his pants
Why doubt Trump’s golf score. I am 82 and played alone (no witnesses) and shot a 52. Golf is a game for total honesty
If I were Cornyn or Tillis I would cover every mirror in my house and office
Corny could have written his “Profile in Courage “ on a piece of confetti
I feel sure many senate sold their vote to get something for their state. Cornyn sold his vote and got nothing for it.
Cornyn won’t be remembered for anything except his cowardice in confirming Blanche. What a way to end an undistinguished career
Cornyn and Tillis: “you are totally corrupt so I won’t vote to confirm you unless you promise to be a little less corrupt in the future”.
What a fool I have been. I once thought senators got to vote and by doing so could have some influence over things like “should a corrupt man be confirmed as America’s chief law enforcement officer”. Than you Cornyn for exposing my ignorance in what senators can do
David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social · 2d agoStooges.
Corrupt people are going to do corrupt things as long as cowards whine and complain and do nothing else
“No alternative but to take his word”! What bull shit. Why do you think they gave you a vote? You had the power to say no. You had nothing lose except why small shred of dignity you once had and you gave it away for nothing. You are a pathetic and worthless man
David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social · 2d agoStooges.
Name anything more chicken shit cowardly than “there is nothing we could do to rein I. The president “. Let’s see John, vote no? Impeach? You are a pathetic excuse for a leader
The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 2d agoThe GOP's official party-wide slogan marching into the midterms: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
And once the vote is over I will ask Trump to give me back my balls
