Daniel, the republicans should be recognizing that they are up to their chins on a sinking ship. I think they are ready to defect to the Democrats. Otherwise, the full fury of the U.S. will be on them because lifetime savings in retirement accounts will be lost! Expenses are sky rocketing and will not stop. Our allies will abandon us because of this outrageous tariff idiocy. Trump is a CONVICTED CRIMINAL.

Defect? Who would trust them? As for their cult leader? Low I.Q. MDP.

If they defect for the good of this country and finally do something about him and see what a danger he is to us (and even them) and this world, and get rid of him then don't look a gift horse in the mouth Ed. It's not just our money. You think those in our gov't are all bullet proof from the economy? Maybe the billionaires or multi-zillionaires but they are seeing he is crazy. Who gives a fuck what Tommy Tuberville or Markwayne Mullin or Marge or Bobo who between them don't have an IQ of 50 think? When even Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or that fossil Chuck Grassley are noticing? He is not taking advice. He is beyond drunk with power. He is isolating us from the rest of the world. If we go down so do they. You don't ever have to like them or look at them but even Amy Coney Barrett does the right thing every once in a while. We have to get our country back and and with every plunge of the DOW, every tariff he waffles on (Audi has cars here right in the US on a container that they won't unload because he is so erratic they don't know what to do) they may actually grow a set of balls and eventually do something... impeach him (I can still dream). He has to go (with JD Vance) Only the blindest sycophants like Navarro and Lutnick and Bessent can stay on this sinking ship of our economy. They probably have their money in Swiss bank accts or the Cayman Island they are such scum, but never forget EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES. I don't know why any of them think they will be different. Orherwise we are storming the Bastille and putting their heads in a guillotine because we are not going to take this and walk into Nazi Germany or become Hungary with Elon Musk and his DOGEBAGS without a fight to the death. They will hopefully lose the House and Senate 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Total respect for every word you’ve laid out. You are beyond more than right. Well, count me in, Ms. Robin D. Just count me in old, pot bellied and … “Mad as h*ll and I’m just not gonna’ take it any more!” Dammit!!!

I will add one caution for any would-be defectors—don’t “come up in here with no repackaged orange BS. You’ll get sent packing “nekked, covered in tar and beeswax!” ISWIS

Ed, when it comes to saving their own ass, they will change their tune.

They can do all the changing they want. They’d best “come correct” or keep that sh*t at home. We are up to here with the lies and the posturing and the finger-pointing and the erasure of our Democracy.

I’m not willing to listen to one more Rethuglican BS on this n’ that. Not one. So, if they intend on joining the Resistance they’d better have their sh*t together otherwise they are unlikely to do well in a venture to redeem themselves. Mess with the wrong folks and it could ring down the curtain.

Exceptions: Tramp and St. Vidas Dance aka Mr. Couch Effer. They are due nothing. They get nothing—other than a swift kick in the rear end.

Seems doable. Especially now when trump has gone nuts toying with China.These massive tariffs on China will decimate the farmers here who are China’s largest source of wheat and other agriculture products. They will be singing loudly to their Congress members!

IMO, not enough of them will defect until they get to the point where they realize they have absolutely nothing left to lose. They still want their cake and be able to eat it on a silver platter. They're nothing more than C-O-W-A-R-D-S.
