Senator Says In Private GOP Admits To Voting To Acquit Due To Fear | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Of course everyone fears their leader
IN NORTH KOREA
And Russia. And Saudi Arabia. You know, other dictators that trump wants to emulate.
Their all traitors without a spine to stand up to the jerk. They all need to be voted out.
They are or they’re all spineless toadies that are ruining our nation!
You missed your “Spartacus” moment… now it is down to the voters to do your dirty work.
Isn’t fear how Hitler came to power? Trump supporters, politicians and citizens alike, are truly frightening. God Bless America. November is right around the corner….
@Feeds Ravens Totally agree.
@Kevin Winn good points.
SPZ Aruba 🤮 FACT: Nazism is a right wing political movement like the Rethuglicunt Russians supporting a crime boss wanna be.
irene gewinner that’s just dumb
when they say “fear” they really mean bribes. they’re not afraid of the orange baboon, they’re mortally afraid that the kickbacks stop flowing.
So, fear. Cause they’re still afraid of the bribes going away. That’s still fear.
Exactly!
Have to disagree A LITTLE… They are afraid that Trump’s WHITE SUPREMISIST, BIGGOTED, MORALLY VACATED BASE won’t vote for them….
Gary Zimmerman or, will send them—or their families—death threats
@zztzgza se gostou do wafai vai por uma rede wafai ai
They are terrified of losing their government entitlements and good health insurance.
They don’t want to have to live like the little people constituents…
YES! they make life so much harder for us, while bettering themselves.
Exactly
Why they are afraid of a draft dodging traitor is beyond me.
V It’s like leaving an abusive relationship. It could mean everything changes so it’s complicated. It depends on personal moral integrity which has to mean more than remaining in a relationship that is not working.
What branch did you serve in?
Jan Wag, whose bulling who. House and Senate Democrats think that they are the Executive branch of government and Trump is a puppet president. They think they should appoint who they want in the Supreme Court. Sorry not in the constitution. Dems want their approval before the President acts using the military. Sorry, only if it’s to declare war, and if not, limited to 30 day military action. That is his power being in charge of the military forces and charged in the constitution of protecting this country. Dems also felt that he was in contempt of Congress and had to comply without his being allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court. They don’t have unfettered command over the President. It’s in the constitution, three separate but equal branches of government. So being a bully to the Dems is exercising his power given to him in the constitution.
@0129145 Your ignorance of how our three branches of government is established is astounding. If you are a citizen, you are among the least informed. Most Europeans know more than you do. LMAO
If the senators had voted for removal, they would have ridden themselves of a bully. Trump would no longer be an impediment.
And America would be back in a slump. Demo. would be happy.
Cult. The magats r a cult. They fear his cult. 45 has that ‘Cult of personality’ bs going on. U can not reason with cult devotees. They do not think, they follow. And they follow him. He is their savior, their messiah. Alot if these ppl actually believe that God sent him. Or, I should say, they *WANT/NEED* 2 BELIEVE that God sent him. U r not dealing with mentally stable beings in this instance. Not by a longshot. They r either truly delusional or they r all from an alternate universe where djt actually IS all the things that he claims 2 b & that they insist that he is. We left the twilight zone, the outer limits, bizarro world, sense, decency & reason *at least* 4 years ago. We r in unchartered waters now. Consider this Invasion of the Body Snatchers & the magats ‘pod ppl’ if that helps but no 1 should expect any normalcy/sanity from these ppl at this point. That ship has sailed & sunk.
MITT ROMNEY WOW I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PEACE WITHIN HIMSELF THIS MAN MUST FEEL
I wish people gave him more appreciation for what he did. He is like the last TRUE GOP candidate…how sad.
A true American hero we love him
Mitt is more presidential now than any of these cockroaches
Cathy Raney Raney, I know, I don’t understand why he doesn’t switch to the Democrats. That way they can start a support group after the elections this year. I think Utah will have the recall law passed by then. I sure they never thought that people of their faith would be so blind sided before.
RMJ, yes your right, he’s part of the globalist along side the Bushes and Clinton’s. Romney should get out now, this is Trumps Nationalist Party, where America is number one on the to-do list.
The whole GOP lives in fear of being voted out in a primary. Is the most obvious thing in a world.
@Chela Buford you would think but with an over 90% approval rating in Republican party it isn’t likely.
@HvMetal WarMonger
Never give up hope! Determination is a special sauce with an amazing taste!
That is their fear and it is stupid. Just put all leverage into those already in office during the primary and don’t let any new people through. The Republican base will vote Republican no matter what.
@Jonathan Beckham it’s not the general election that scares them. its losing in the primary, when only Republicanss vote for Republicans.
@Jonathan Beckham Oh misread that. that would work to a degree but with trump having the bully pulpit of the presidenancy and the super super majority of Republican voters behind him what you suggest just wouldn’t work. The Republican party would just implode.
‘For if it prospers, none dares call it treason’. Bottom line.
So basically after all these years of teaching children to stand up to bullies, all of these adults are allowing themselves to be bullied. Great lesson to teach children. Be best???
Traitor trumpmmhas all the kompromat, that putin gave him, against the criminal republicans. Think about it…they would be jailed if their dirt came out!
Afraid? Republicans has no balls.. and their soul has been sold to the devil 😈
In other words, you’re saying they sold their souls to a Democrat…
@stelle202 shoo
Highly infectious, Bonespurs infect the whole of the GOP and Republicans.
If they are afraid of a pathological liar then they don’t deserve to represent their constituents and America.
I second that!
They were worried Trump would defame them, ruin their careers… Trump has already made statements to Adam Shift that HE WILL PAY…
Zairul completely agree
Amen
@Interested party And just what do you mean by that Interested party??? That can mean several different things you know!!!
Fear of what? Fear for his life? Was he threatened??
They’re acting like they don’t have a back-up….Pence?
Sounds like Trump has DIRT on all of them!
The only dirt I want to see on the REPUBLICANS is in the grave !!
Tulsi new VP
Pence? #45 Dumb, Pence Dumber
You got it!
@charles allan NO CONTENT BOT BOT BOT BOT BOT YOU LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE tulsi is a republican plant.
So UGH isn’t that like JURY TAMPERING?????
So UGH, isn’t your brain, like, Ugh, Damaged????
They are either a bunch of cowards or liars and probably both.
Sod off.
So they had the chance to remove someone they feared? And didn’t? …..
And if you actually believe that, I have some land in Florida you might be interested in…
They can not remove traitor trump or all the dirt they have done comes out. They aren’t afraid of him but the dirt he will show!
