Agree. I am not a fan of any politicians, but the current GOP are the worst of all time...the most brazenly and transparently disgusting, cowardly, unethical hypocrites. I'm at my limit listening to their BS rationalizations as to why it's ok for Trump to do anything he wants, including treason.


And Kevin McCarthy claims we all have some responsibility for the autogolpe on the 6th. STFU, McCarthy. Just because you’re a traitor to your country and your oath does not mean that I am a traitor to my country. Call “Representative” McCarthy and tell him how you feel about it. OP



Republicans are not well.

Nope. He's been credibly accused of sexual assault by over 20 women. Even Roy Moore won the GOP nomination after accusation of sexually abusing teen girls.

Everything is forgivable for these hypocrites.


Wrong!! He won the nomination BEFORE the accusations were lodged. Accusations came out shortly after he won. Funny how that happened. (He was a terrible candidate to start with--even without the accusations., but they came out afterwards. Just think, he had held public offices for many years and yet, these accusations did not come out until the Senate race against a Dem.)

He would not have won the nomination had it come out earlier.

Get your facts straight.

Explain the fact that you put serial sexual assaulter Donald Trump on the ticket again.

In 2012, they lost to a black man by 5 million votes, with 1.2 million libertarian votes left on the table.

In 2016 they lost the popular vote to a woman by 3 million votes, with 6.5 million 3rd party votes left on the table, 80% of which were cast for right of center candidates.

In 2020 they lost to a white guy by 7 million votes.


Looked at it this way, they are reliably 6-9 million votes short of a majority, year after year. It will only get worse. The electoral college obscures the result, but as states tip from red to blue due to changing demographics, it's political death for them.



They're looking at control of congress in 2022. They can't do it by alienating their base, which is wholly beholden to Trump. So, while they are bleeding slowly, between voter suppression, and gerrymandering, they can maintain control at least in the near term. IF there had been a repudiation of the party and its politics in the last election, maybe it would have accelerated the process. But, as it stands, they have nothing to lose in the next say 10 years, by sticking to their guns.

They're just cowards. Nothing is set in stone. Keep applying the pressure. Maybe they will convict.

Not fast enough. Like an abusive patriarch slowly dying of cancer, the GOP is causing a lot of damage.

According to Jeff Flake, 10k registered GOPers have officially changed their party since Jan 6th. This is going to be catastrophic for GOP and I’m all for it.

That’s it. That’s the whole lot of semi-decent GOP who still uphold their oaths. OP.


Thanks, that’s just about exactly who I would have guessed.

The Republicans are too morally weak to do this publicly. Too much pressure within the party from the hard rightwing. They lurch from short-term crisis to short-term crisis. For the good of America, they need to move beyond Trump but no one wants to be first person to take a bold stance.

Give them the cover of a temporary anonymity. We know they hate the Trumps, but feel it necessary to placate the base.


yes, it has to be a SECRET ballot. No one will know which Republicans vote to convict that POS.

Even if the GOP slimes out (why should we expect better from these shytes??) the Orange Fatso will be in JAIL before long, convicted in NY for many crimes.

I can't wait to see his pudge stuffed into an orange jumpsuit and his crappy yellow hairdo reduced to prison stubble.
