They refused to do that because they feared getting death threats. and enabling it was the best option for them
Our legislators are fucking gutless. Not sure how this happened but I have a feeling it has something to do with money from undeclared sources.
Republicans don’t want to go on record supporting Trump. That’s the reason behind the agency accountability executive order. Republicans have control of Congress. The only good reason for Trump to take direct oversight of the agencies instead of Congress is to keep their hands appearing clean for reelection.
Susan Collins, nodding weakly, clutching her pearls.
he's learned his lesson being impeached, we don't need to remove him.
Anyone that isn't a fascist has left the party already.
Or are too stubborn/stupid to realize what the party stands for
she's asking for republicans of this iteration of the republican party, the one that embraces nationalism, religious bigotry, and a cult like behavior which has as a rote answer of READ THE CONSTITUTION to not only have actually read the constitution taken their paths of office seriously, and defy their cult leader.
if there was any integrity to those people at all, you wouldn't be seeing absolutely fucking stupid messaging bills like renaming dulles airport after trump, making trump's birthday a federal holiday, putting trump's face on mt. rushmore, taking over greenland and calling it red white and blue land in the house and all of trump's cabinet noms get confirmed in the senate. some of which you voted AYE for murkowski.
so take this warm mug of SHUT THE FUCK UP and go sit in the corner hypocrite.
Murkowski setting herself up to be the next Liz Cheney.
but like a purely performative Cheney, to pay lip service to anti-trump republicans, while still being fully under “control”.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, right.
Thanks, I really needed that laugh.
Alaska gets the most federal dollars, per capita, is anyone is wondering why she’s pretending to care. Something like a third of the state’s budget comes from the federal government.
Why wait
