Where the fuck are all the Republican Senators coming out to support the right of a fellow Senator

Where the fuck are all the Republican Senators coming out to support the right of a fellow Senator NOT to be body-slammed and cuffed for asking a question in his OWN building in the state HE represents?

You KNOW what happened.
You SAW the video.

WHERE ARE YOU FUCKING COWARDS???

They’re silent because they’re fucking cowards and some/all like it because they’re fucking fascists

I've been waiting for a representative to decide to sacrifice their career to vote the right way. The way some did for the affordable care act. The kind Kennedy wrote about in Profiles in Courage. Cowards, cowards, cowards.

As much as I had disagreement with him on several things, he had decorum and knew where his oath lie. No more sense if Honor at all .. they've all sold their souls down the river.

They deserve no respect or reprieve. They will pay for their crimes against humanity and fellow Americans

Alaska voted in Dem. Mary Peltola over Republican Sarah Palin. Murkowski won as an Independent over the Republican candidate that they had primaried her with because she voted guilty at Trump's last impeachment. Now it is time for her to go all the way and really commit to the fight against Fascism.

As this Administration's outrages pile up, the prospects of Democratic Administration bent of vengeance are increasing. The precedents the current Administration is setting may be used against you.

Thank goodness Dems are discovering or rediscovering you cannot work with fascists. Their views are so diametrically opposed to anything remotely resembling democracy that to even try is futile. A waste of time and oxygen.
