Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

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.
It's worse than that. They like being bullied. They don't want the soap on the rope.
This is because their most vocal supporters are such rabid trumpians that they are seriously worried about being physically harmed if they dont do as dear leader tells them. Like best case scenario if they oppose Trump is to get primaried. Its downhill from there, and theyre already soulless ghouls, so easy choice.
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.
They'll fight for a while over who the next Fuehrer will be, then they'll all fall in line like the cringing, fawning enablers that they are.
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.
It's absolutely wild to see one of his "cabinet meetings" where they take turns fellating him figuratively:
"ZOMG, Mr. President! Your big strongly deals are the biggest ever. I've never seen such big girthy veiny deals in my life! Did the American people even thank you yet?!"
What has to suck for the likes of Blondi and ICE Barbie - they got out the kneepads and did all that, and still get thrown under the bus. 🤣
