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.
I wonder if she’s tried furrowing her brow.

“We are all afraid,” Murkowski told the crowd on Monday.
Pausing, she added: “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”
- This, right here, is the most open and honest admission of what the US is today, by the ruling party elite: A dictatorship. An authoritarian state.
Do the fucking job you were elected to do, coward.
They are doing the jobs they were paid to do, by corporate America.
Being ineffectual corporate-whores who capitulate to capital is the core requirement of every politicians job description in the 21st Century. Though, it turns out corruption is incompatible with democracy and the rule of law. Who would have thought?
Do your FUCKING jobs!!! You literally have the power to remove him. ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE HIM!!! YOU HAD TWO OPPORTUNITIES ALREADY!!!
If you can’t summon up as much bravery as the folks actually fighting back, GTFO. I’d call her a cunt but she lacks the depth and warmth.
You nailed it, we’re getting into a “following orders” type scenario now, if you don’t agree with what they’re doing but too scared to do anything to stop them, then step down! If you can’t do your job which is to protect the people you represent then let someone else step in.
If only we had a body of elected representatives that were able to do something about the situation…
I bet they hold private meetings about who they could even replace trump with after impeaching and removing Trump, Vance, etc.
If it falls upon speaker of the House then Womp Womp it’s still project 2025 time.
I guess they’re secretly hoping to get wiped out in the midterms.
Just launch a real investigation into the election and they’ll easily find proof that it was stolen, and the true US president has been Harris all this time. I’m sure many GOP senators are secretly wishing she had won now.
I doubt a full Robespierre will set them off. Weaker spines than the 18th century French.
So if she, as a Republican ally is this afraid, how does she think his actual enemies feel?
It’s not the trump organisation, it’s the republican party, and by not doing anything, you’re supporting them, and saving your own ass in the case the republican party fails.
Keep up the good work propelling fascist imperialism forward
Right wing ideologies depend on fear
Are they afraid of ending up in this CECOT mound?
Is that blood on the ground next to the mound of what I can only assume are dozens of bodies?
We don’t know. Can someone drop the coordinates here or Reddit thread? I used to work on this kind of imagery and would like to poke around (we sold to Google too!). I’m a bit suspect of it. The ‘bodies’ (not being sarcastic, I dk what it is but that’s not unusual for aerial imaging) do not look proportionate. Google offers imagery from 10m per sq pixel to 0.3m. The older stuff, and stuff not in the first world is much more likely to be on the bigger end. Those ?objects seem too big. Look at the length of the units against the structures. Not saying terrible things don’t happen there, but from the clip, they look like giants but I have to look at it to actually know what’s going on. Also, they’re awfully straight for a haphazard pile.
Edit: I’m pretty sure they are too big, unless they’re housing some 9ft+ humans. Look at the cars and road nearby for size comparisons. That stain is also persistent across years to some degree.
If only we could have voted to keep him out
Sorry, too many ignorant losers in this country that didn’t vote or voted 3rd party because they were apathetic or real mad about a single issue.
Listen the clearly more liberal candidate didn’t say the thing i liked, so i voted to get my friends deported, and removed everyones first amendment rights.
-Jill Stien Voters
For anyone wondering, she did vote to convict trump during his second impeachment.
Not sure what’s she’s done between now and then, but she’s no McConnell or Green,
Cowardly traitors.
Fascism requires such cowards to enable their regimes.
What a fucking piece of shit she is.
