do something about it then 'house republicans'... I am 'absolutely disgusted and exhausted' by their behavior... their thinking constituents should be nonstop on them to act

nut up a-holes. The Republic is more important than your job approval numbers.

My wife just read this ... about the G.O.P dis-satisfaction
with Trump and I told her they are still backing him.

The wife went into a rage.

She does not do internet and loves "Dancing with the Stars?."

We have our separate dens and entertainment centers
but she took the words out of my mouth.

Where in all those complaints are rejection of wrong, distress over damage to their country and the world?

If winning an election is more important than your principles or integrity, it doesn't matter what you think in private. Take a f*%king stand for what you believe or just throw in the towel and go home. Worthless assholes, they all deserve to lose their seats.

They are putting their cowardice before the Constitution.

I can't believe we're held back by a pack of chickenshits.

though it would seem that there's not much there to clutch.

...but those aren't pearls they're clutching.

Just curious. I wonder if they were to hold some inocuous vote of condemnation, how would the house vote?

They want their vote to be public. Hell, to most of them, it's their Badge Of Honor to constantly wave in the faces of their followers.......

it's not like they dont know how the buttons work.

Tots and pears.🙄

their base needs educating not ass kissing.

...before genuine conservatives went the way of the dodo and the passenger pigeon:

Certainly, gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion, high respect; their business, unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the law and the constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
--Edmund Burke

Then they weaponized politics.



No republican would be caught dead uttering those words today...today they would be vilified and primaried.

At the House GOP MEMBERS!!

most every R Senator and R Representative can’t stand Donny. They are simply scared shitless of his base and getting mean tweeted by Donny.

Much more than that, in the back of their minds is the constant reminder that Trump/Republican Party/Putin financed their campaigns. They are all in this every bit as deep as Lard Ass. Especially evident in the U.S. Republican Senators. The old saying: We go down, you go down.
You gotta admit, Putin was brilliant in devising a way to funnel/laundry hundreds of millions, if not billions thru the NRA to republican candidates to prepare for this exact outcome......Putin has been masterminding all this and his kompromat on all the officials for decades. Putin kicked it into high gear just prior to the 2016 election and his installation of his comrade Trump..........

It explains so much about their cowardice.

The "Turtle's" campaign donations from his wife's (U.S. Secretary of Labor?) CHINESE OLIGARCH parents are incredible....

They can take their alleged disgust and exhaustion and shove it up their asses.

Their so far unanimous opposition to impeachment tells me they are more than willing to tolerate him.

Screw the cowards.

and afraid to be seen with it!

...the GOP* cowards only make it worse by refusing to stand up to tRump*. He. Is. A. Bully. And. They. Are. Cowards.

VOTE. EVERY. REPUBLICAN. OUT. OF. OFFICE.
All hold party above country. None deserves re-election.

It's pretty likely that all but the nuttiest republicans in congress are hoping that Trump will lose the election. This way they can tell their base that they were with him until the bitter end, but their voters just couldn't come through for him.

their "off the record" words are MEANINGLESS

to be supporting so much crap that they have to justify it to outsiders by saying how appalled and exhausted they are to be doing something which they were always going to do anyways. Because party over country.

Trump openly. They value their re-election more than principles. They are petrified by the mobs of people at Trump rallies.

they are just behaving like the typical GOP cowardly hypocrites. No quarter. They are either for America or for Putin/trump.

Remember your oath to the Constitution and do your fucking job.

... the personal can stay @ his golf course in Scotland, paid a $2,000,000 penalty for running
a scam charity that took money in for kids with cancer and military vets but didn't pay out
anything until they were caught along with paying a bribe to Florida's A.G., and ran a phony
University that took in money from the widows of our troops ....

They have plenty of reasons but no spine.

The right likes to think they are tough...that the left are "snowflakes" and all that.....95% of tough acting, full of bravado and packing an AR-15 comes not from a position of strength but just the reverse. They are all soft, scared, afraid of everything frauds.

Yeah...so they whine and complain about their dear leader behind closed doors but are too chicken sh** to do a single thing about it so cry me a river.

than ousted by their constituents.

It’s simple. They’re choosing the form of their demise, because as sure as hell it’s gonna happen. Maybe they think history will be OK on them if the opposition beats them and not so OK if their own party beats them.

Because if any of them think they’re going to survive unscathed they’re delusional.

I don't think that they are against agent orange at all. They love him. They support him and every obnoxious thing he does.

And, yes, they are afraid of him and the knuckle-draggers in their constituency, but they all want the same things: authoritarian control and more money for billionaires.

The Russians may also have kompromat on them. Remember, Putin stole data from the REUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE too.

How did he weaoonize what he learned from that trove of emails? These guys are at war...and they have been winning.

Americans do not have the interest or diligence it takes to keep our republic. We have become entitled and lazy. Putin sees this, and is pounciing!

Republicans are useful tools in this effort.

After your politics reaches it's inevitable end game, you're sorry. I'll make a note of that.

Now their monster needs corralling. Playing with fire then fanning the flames led to this shit and could've once been controlled. Now it's too late, so what are you going to do?

Cry me a river pukes. Boo effin Hoo.

to send a message of what happens when you are a coward and put party before country, morals, ethics, the Constitution, etc.

The country would thank you. You took an oath to protect your country, not your base.

They may save a few of their House and Senate seats. It's a long shot but one I am sure they are considering at this time.

but we already know that.

They do nothing to contain Mooooones or Jordan. They say little to nothing. They do nothing.

Baby Trump's paid caregivers probably felt. His parents didn't want to put the time and energy into looking after him and teaching how to be a person, but they probably didn't give their staff any real power to discipline him.

In this case, the Base are like the sort of parents who think that everything their Donnyboy does is adorable. The GOP is running after him trying to mitigate the damage he is doing all over the place, but they don't want to stand up to the-hole parents and risk losing their jobs.

Yes, I know that this is an imperfect analogy. But the word, "exhausted" reminded me what it is was like to look after spoiled, difficult children knowing that it is the parents who need to learn the important lessons.

Your base of Fox & Friends/Hannity whatevers do not get to ruin it for the rest?

It could get bad enough that some exiling is going to be required & hmmm your names are at nearly the tippy top of the list?

Be more afraid of KARMA maybe?

Fucking cowards.

Make cowards look like ok folks.

Profiles in cowardice.

Shameful cowards.

Shameless (?) cowards.

Nameless cowards. Dent, too. Name names. You're a republican. Hold up a fucking list that has names on them - you guys are experts at holding up lists of names.

Spineless cowards.

Joseph Welch's words apply today, as they did more than 65 years ago. And they apply to every republican: Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

And despite their protestations of disgust and exhaustion, I will bet the proverbial dollar to a donut that not a single one of them will vote for impeachment.

As usual. These cowards don't stay in and defy the orange tin pot dictator, and go down that way, they quit and whine afterwards.

they are so "disgusted" that they have put corrupt sycophants Nunes ans Jordan front and center in this effort to assassinate the character of lifelong members of the military and career government officials to either save drumpf or completely destroy any credibility of their party in the process.

maybe if the people running this "defense" showed even a scrap of patriotism over allegiance to a criminal president, i could buy into their "disgust".

Like Nunez, Jordan, and others.

They're stuck now because of the partisan gerry-manders drawn in their favor doesn't allow for them to break away from their Trump cultist constituents.

a tell.

In some districts, speaking out might get them more votes than playing along. Not many, but that could change as 2020 unfolds.

He says how they feel outright instead of using dog whistles and the are exhausted from constantly having to move the goalposts.

Trump keeps telling them they have to do it. What else can they do but keep licking?

You built that. You have spent the last generation building that and they are more dangerous than Trump. He is what they see in the mirror.

... to distance themselves in the back ground.

Say something or shut up!!!
