‘We are all afraid’: Murkowski says fear of retaliation from Trump administration is ‘real’

[RDKirk]

This is more like the kid who loves to attack but suddenly becomes the victim when called to the principal's office.

Did you forget this is a Republican complaining about this problem?

 

[RDKirk]

I have a smaller one that bleeds for those whining about maybe getting a taste of their own medicine.

Let's stop saying he promotes Christianity, then.

No democratically elected leader retaliated against Trump. He was indicted for his own actions through a fully lawful process and, in some cases, was found guilty after a trial where he had full legal representation to defend himself.

-- A2SG, all in accordance with the law....

Maybe update on the troubles of Fani . When the investigations are done I believe you will find the liberal backed attacks on Trump were not the Lilly white lawful action you claim.

Their fear and paranoia is nothing more than just that.

Provided they haven't been involved in wrongdoing that needs to be addressed.

Whatever legal issues Willis is dealing with seem to have no bearing on any of Trump's prior legal convictions.

Unless you have actual evidence that says otherwise? Feel free to disclose that, if so.

-- A2SG, if not, baseless speculation is baseless speculation.....

Why is that something I need to remember? It's a case of attackers worried about reciprocation. That's what happens when you go out of your way to attack someone. You have to worry about possible repercussions. People are coming at this situation as if Trump has already done something to them, rather than it just being their imagination at work. Really it's a way for them to vilify Trump while playing imaginary victim.

Hey, we aree on a lot of what you said here. Both parties have abandoned the working class, the GOP blatantly by working against them in favor of the 0.1%, and the Democrats mostly by inaction and fecklessness. If neither party are going to change this, and prioritize working Americans, a third party way very well be what we need.

Be an uphill battle, though. The two party system is too entrenched. Still, an idea worth pursuing.

We could use a man like Vladimir Lenin again.

Gee, our old Lasalle ran great.

-- A2SG, those were the days....

 

[Say it aint so]

Reminds me of:
Pro-Trump electors receive death threats

The point is going right over your head.

 

[Say it aint so]

Considering both parties are plutocratic,
it would take a third party consisting of the working class to stage a successful revolution to usurp control of the government.

So who is the swamp?

Defending rapist, murders, drug dealers, human traffickers, and child abusers who are here illegally seems to be the sport of many liberals.

Who defied the law? 47.
Who ignored the courts? 47.
Who, unlike Garcia, has been convicted of 34 felonies? 47.
Yeah, he's immune. An immune person engaging in multiple criminal activities. A felon, un-incarcerated,committing crimes.
Conservatives are cheering the crime on, not progressives

Get over it he is now President!

 

[Fantine]

A positioning which he is far more dangerous, defying the courts, seeking to silence the press, harming our educational system and attacking universities because ignorance is like mulch for dictators.
Didn't your parents ever teach you not to ignore and "get over" deadly hazards?
It certainly appears many parents didn't teach their kids to recognize them.

You do realize there is no legal justification for nation wide injunctions affecting people not party to the specific matter before the court. This is a usurping of power by judges over a period of time. Most likely this unconstitutional power stolen by judges will be corrected by legislation.

At least you understand that this kind of behavior typically occurs in kindergarten among adolescents.

Ronald Reagan, H. Bush, W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney would not engage in such childish behavior. This distinction highlights their character compared to President Trump.

Yes, but none of the mentioned people were "REAL" Republicans.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

Lawfare? Isn't that what defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling is?

When they are Communist Judges it doesn't count.

...a Republican U.S. Senator has the courage to say out outloud what many of her colleagues are feeling. US Senators fear retribution from the Executive Branch.

And your take away is? Oh, look how bad Trump was treated.
But I guess in MAGA world, Trump is always the victim.

They're not the victim of anything. They're just whining about how afraid they supposedly are to vilify. Amazing how someone can become a victim over something they made up. Maybe one of them will take it a step further and go the Jussie Smollett route.

Glad she is staying to fight. So many Republicans who had substantially better characters than Trump walked away. Boehner. Ryan. Flake. Cheney. Kinzinger.
I was most impressed by Boehner, a Catholic. Pope Francis talked to Congress and he left a few days later. It was like Pope Francis' message that opposing abortion was fulfilling only a small fraction of what God expected of ethical, responsible politicians reached his heart. Jesus had a preferential option for the poor. The planet is dying. Immigrants should have opportunities for citizenship. It matters that we can sleep at night while millions are starving.
Previous popes and bishops had given Republicans a free pass on so many wrongs, giving tacit ok's by their silence, but Boehner took it to heart.
Certainly Flake, Cheney and Kinzinger had crises of conscience.

However it does appear they were taught to recognize hyperbole and propaganda. Trump had better be an actual dictator considering how many times a day it's being proclaimed he's a dictator.
