Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) openly admitted that she and her Republican colleagues were “all afraid” of “retaliation” from President Donald Trump as she criticized what she called “unlawful” executive overreach and sweeping federal cuts.

“We are all afraid!”, …but we don’t want to lose our privilidge by opposing him.
Fuck you cowardly cunt.
As noted, a small group could end this.
Naw, she is no coward. She is a pro-abortion Republican that voted against Trump. Rather than be her ally you act like a little bitch.
We need to be sending “CHODE” T-Shirts to all these people afraid of Trump. Your idea, so get on it 😘

Of all the people we needed to be brave, it had to be the fucking Republicans. We are truly and utterly fucked.
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
You took an oath. Being afraid isn’t an excuse.
We expect 19 year old soldiers to run into fire and destruction to honor their oaths. We expect no less from our elected representatives.
Yeah and if they haven’t noticed - creeping fascism only gets worse the longer you let it linger. Time to bite the bullet and do something, it’s not going to go away on its own and we’re all going to be in more danger (including GOP senators) the longer it goes on.
I’ve said this before, but being an elected politician should be treated as a position of service, not of status and excess. If you want the office for the right reasons then having some downsides to taking the power should be no big deal.
I took that oath at 18.
Amen.
“We are all afraid,” Murkowski told the crowd on Monday.
Pausing, she added: “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”
- This, right here, is the most open and honest admission of what the US is today, by the ruling party elite: A dictatorship. An authoritarian state.
Do the fucking job you were elected to do, coward.
They are doing the jobs they were paid to do, by corporate America.
Being ineffectual corporate-whores who capitulate to capital is the core requirement of every politicians job description in the 21st Century. Though, it turns out corruption is incompatible with democracy and the rule of law. Who would have thought?
If only we had a body of elected representatives that were able to do something about the situation…
I bet they hold private meetings about who they could even replace trump with after impeaching and removing Trump, Vance, etc.
If it falls upon speaker of the House then Womp Womp it’s still project 2025 time.
I guess they’re secretly hoping to get wiped out in the midterms.
Just launch a real investigation into the election and they’ll easily find proof that it was stolen, and the true US president has been Harris all this time. I’m sure many GOP senators are secretly wishing she had won now.
Fucking cowards.
Clearly they are not yet NEARLY afraid enough about the path they’re allowing the Trump admin to take.
Oh no, you might get primaried?
Chris Van Hollen travelled to a dictatorship to free a man wrongfully imprisoned without due process by two authoritarians, while these simpering cowards whine about the monster they created.

Hey. I’m terrified of living under a fascist regime! Twinsies.
Every republican in this situation should resign, let someone brave take their place.
You chose this. Purged everything that wasn’t MAGA so that all that was left was hate. Dont be a bitch now. All those GOP motherfuckers were straight creaming on election night. Lie in your nut stained beds.
But we’re all being smothered in their nut stained beds, brother. For them to lie in their beds would be to accept retaliation of their party and fight back, not to take it. They deserve the flak but are seemingly not brave enough to save us all.
Nobody will save us but ourselves. Dont let that leave your head during all of this. The charge to.lead the people will only come from the people. The military isnt tagging in, politicians are still talking about elections, nobody is doing anything until the first American burns a heritage foundation office and then doesnt stop.
I’m ready for the general strike. That’s our power.
You and your colleagues could actually stop him instead of lining up to defend/allow his fascist actions.
I remember when my politicians had, yknow., a fucking spine and principles. Yes. Im that old.
Didn’t think there were any Revolutionary War Veterans left alive…
You took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
