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.

          How come this is the first time we’re hearing from her, then?

          Bernie Sanders has been out on the trail since January, circling the country telling everyone that Trump is a dangerous criminal. Where was Murkowski at? Not there, that’s for sure. Not running her own version of the same. She backed and approved every single Trump cabinet appointee except for Hegseth.

          Forgive me if I’m not impressed.

            I am not here to make excuses. She happens to be my representative in Alaska. I am very happy we have her because she is a decent human being in a state that is full of Republican assholes.

      The Christian nationalists would absolutely crucify them, it’s career suicide and they know it.

        So what? It’s better for the country.

        I’m thinking they are more fearful of their friends and family being murdered.

        In a just world, they should feel that capitulating to Trump’s agenda would be actual suicide.

          Sadly, it might actually be heading in the exact opposite direction. If they don’t capitulate to him, it may soon be more dangerous than just losing their career.

          I hate this timeline

            The American citizenry is going to live a lot longer than Fuhrer Trump will and we aren’t about to forget what happened here.

              You have way more confidence in the American electorate’s memory than recent history would suggest to anyone. After all Krasnov was re-elected.

        Are they so unskilled they couldn’t just go get another job? (I’m not asking you to defend them - just pointing out the absurdity)

        Of all the people we needed to be brave, it had to be the fucking Republicans. We are truly and utterly fucked.
