For weeks, Donald Trump’s fury has been growing at Republicans for failing to pass voter suppression legislation, demanding that they end the filibuster to do so. In a late-night tirade, he urged them to attach the SAVE Act to a must-pass defense spending bill, a dramatic move that reveals his deep frustration with them. As everybody knows, Trump sees restricting voting as the only way to stave off a midterm calamity. Meanwhile, in a striking piece, NBC News reports that Trump’s angry pressure has left Sena…

    And Republicans are cowards so he will just bully them and get what he wants. Remember they were voting on an Iran war resolution before Trump got them all in a room and yelled at them. They immediately changed their votes. They complain he’s a bully but do nothing to stand up to him and they are literally the one branch of government that should keep him in check. It’s like complaining some guy at work bullies you while you’re his manager and could fire him.

      What I’m curious to see is what they do after he’s gone (off the stage or passed away).

      Do they still keep prattling on about what a great leader he is, the bestest ever, he should be on the money and Mt. Rushmore you guys, he’s so smart and vibrant, and my daddy donny can beat up your daddy, you guyz, anyone else that says anything different is suffering from derangement!!!

      Or do they start saying normal things that sane Americans say - the guy is a vain preening jackass who inherited daddy’s money, got a boost from TV producers who made him a game show, and who didn’t know anything about anything?

      That’s what I’m curious about. Because all of them right now look like a deer in the headlights, just like that Keebler elf Mikey Johnson getting a softball question from some journalist - quickly running down the hall or up/down the stairs while repeating some platitude…right now they are all nutless wonders when it comes to saying anything even mildly critical of Donvict, even when he’s doing something that is against supposed foundational conservative “values” - like tariffs, LOL.

        Probably some new bully will come around the block and they will keep the same routine going. Trump has shown that Republicans can be bullied by a senile 80 year old that can barely stay awake.
