We already know almost all of them are spineless.

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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
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!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
But they’re fine with letting the country burn so they can keep their jobs.
Republicans are so spineless they let a low IQ felon rapist take over their party and cuck them.
Pathetic cowards.
Leopards be feasting
Yeah, we have been well aware of this since the 2016 primaries. You are all massive chicken-shits who’s fear of a con artist eclipses your duty to the American people and the constitution. I’ll be sure to make a note of it in case I forget.
So if she, as a Republican ally is this afraid, how does she think his actual enemies feel?
Neat. Unfortunately, my tiny violin was repossessed.
Fuck these people. She supported this , and now she’s going to pretend to have feelings. No, you don’t get to do that. We remember.

I gotchu fam:
They should be equally as afraid of enabling Trump. That’s where we come in.
You're scared? However scared you are is nothing compared to the people you are supposed to be representing. And if they can start making a stand against this you have no fucking excuse for your inaction.
"but what if I get primaried?" They ask as people are being sent to life in prison without being charged with a crime.
Jesus Christ, how do you make it this far in politics with this little spine or conviction? Is it really that easy?
Quick, let me find the world's smallest fiddle for these absolutely repugnant assholes. Go ahead, sell out the entire fucking country for power and then try to give us your fucking sob story. I'll get to you right after I finish mourning the people you've sent to the death camps, I swear.
Afraid of what? He will call you a bad name. Oh please, you need to grow a spine or get out of politics.
Afraid of what?
Literally death threats from the Republican voters.

In other words, nothing is going to improve until the death threats from the MAGA cultists for defying Trump start to get outweighed by death threats from sane people for obeying him.

I wonder if she's tried furrowing her brow.
What a fucking piece of shit she is.
THERE ARE MORE OF US
The irony is that senators are historically one of the safer positions in Congress, due mostly to name recognition, the six year term, and preestablished alliances within their party and special interests. Sure we talk a big game about primarying people but that doesn't happen that often, either (even when it should, like with many Dems).
Then again, these aren't historical times and deeply unpopular people like Ted Cruz might actual lose to a democratic challenger if he lost the cults backing, even with RNC and billionaires backing him, so idk. Maybe fear is correct.
If only we could have voted to keep him out
Sorry, too many ignorant losers in this country that didn't vote or voted 3rd party because they were apathetic or real mad about a single issue.
