While I can understand Murkowski’s comment and appreciate her taking a better approach than some of her colleagues, I’m also sick of hearing GOP Congress people claim fear of retribution or retaliation. Being a Rep or Senator is not a guaranteed job anymore than any other job in America. And frankly if they fear doing their job because of retaliation, there is a simple solution, RESIGN. Better yet just imagine how much better things could be if ya’ll actually took your duties seriously and did the job instead of being lemmings |

Our Congress members are too busy lining their pockets via insider trading or other sleazy arrangements to have time to be scared of anything. There are a handful of decent folks in Congress but they are collectively one big pile of smelly garbage. |

| What are they afraid of? Not getting reelected I would imagine. How shameful. |

Exactly, what are they afraid of? The big loud coward in the corner??? Everyone of them needs to use their voice and tell him to kick rocks. They afraid of not getting re-elected? Newsflash, the job isn’t guaranteed. It’s supposed to be based on representation and performance. Their appeasement and lack of representation of the American people is why they should be afraid. Musk and Trump are the least of their worries. They should be worried that with each passing hour and day they are losing more voters. |

What lesson is that? The lesson that Trump is a limp-dicked-loser who couldn’t primary her in her home state? Or the lesson that she is 6 LONG YEARS from worrying about reelection with an electorate with the memory and attention span of goldfish? |

They're also afraid due to threats of violence and death. I would be too if I was in their shoes. Republicans terrified of crossing Trump due to physical threats https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/27/republicans-trump-threats |

I mean if the Rs hadn't figured out by now that they need to quietly move their families out of the country, well then they are stupider than I thought

| She should be afraid. She is going to be on the wrong side of history if she doesn't buck up soon. This is our Nazi Germany and she is on the wrong side. |

This. Lisa & Susan have no sympathy from me. Trump has always shown who he was. They were too stupid or shortsighted or greedy to pay attention or think it would impact them negatively. Stand up Lisa! And, I don’t doubt she’s genuinely afraid. The MAGA Rs are crazy and I wouldn’t put anything past them. |

Why do you think all the J6ers were released?
Trump needs enforcers. |

This. All Trump needs to do is make a suggestion. But if they are so afraid, they should resign. |
