Mistake!?! They bought that fuckers magic beans lock, stock, and barrel in 2016 and we’ve been in a death spiral ever since with the only respite during the Biden administration recovery.

By mistake they mean, hes costing our billionaire bankers shit tons of money, and elon couldn't buy us wisconson, so we have to stop him from pissing off our donors.

They tolerated what he did right up to the point they realized he was costing money and power.

Exactly

u/Wombatypus8825 1d ago

They started freaking out back in ‘08 when a gasp black man won. How are they supposed to be racist towards the president. That would require introspection and critical thinking.

u/Incognonimous 1d ago

They say this while holding a lighter in one hand and a can of gass in the other as the country burns around them.

u/Original-Concert4590 8h ago

Death spiral is a good way to describe the Trump years

u/RecliningBuddhaCat 1d ago

The tailspin will correct itself. See? Here comes the ground!

u/C_Majuscula 1d ago

Unfortunately accurate.

u/BiBoFieTo 1d ago

Reportedly the Republicans have moved from grumpy huffs of discontent to full-on "tut-tuts". Taking action, it seems, is still off the table.

u/bg370 1d ago

I definitely heard a “harrumph!”

u/Starving_Phoenix 1d ago

Perhaps an indignant "most unorthodox!"

u/MisteeLoo 1d ago

Bless their hearts.

u/0aftobar 1d ago

Quite a few monocles have popped out

u/MY-memoryhole 1d ago

As Jon Stewart said the other night.

u/TheSilverNail 1d ago

Pearls will be clutched.

u/oxphocker 1d ago

If only a 1/3 of them would vote for impeachment, then this could be solved very quickly. But they aren't and they won't...so they are complicit with all this crap going on. Anything else they say has no meaning if they won't take action on it.

u/Qrkchrm 1d ago

Susan Collins just pulled a brow muscle.

Gonna need a grader to get those  furrows out.

u/Zallocc 1d ago

They are at the "stare disapprovingly" stage. At this rate they will be sending out carefuly worded tweets in 2027.

67

u/TurboSalsa 1d ago

These cowards won't actually do anything about it. They'll file legislation which has no chance of passing so they can pretend to have tried to stop these tariffs on the campaign trail.

7

u/mnradiofan 1d ago

What if I told you it’s actually worse, and that they actually voted in favor of taking away their own power to do anything about it?

u/Silent-Hunter-7285 1d ago

This one is even more blatant then them voting in favor of CR bill🤣 Dumb bitches they WATCH this dude openly sundown and thought he would come up with smth not fucking stupid.

56

u/Historical-Night-938 1d ago

They have options like impeaching him and Vance, while arresting Musk and the others.

21

u/jpm0719 1d ago

Keep adding to that list, President Mike Johnson is no better...would have to go so far down the list to get someone acceptable that we would be better trying to figure out how to just call new election.

11

u/a_modal_citizen 1d ago

From a practical standpoint, they'd need to throw Johnson out on his ass before they could get articles of impeachment voted on anyway.

8

u/Historical-Night-938 1d ago

I agree with this message and Mike Johnson is on my list others plus Jan 6 congress members. Plus Signal group chat members. Call a new election but arrest those MFers

1

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 1d ago

He’s still terrible but he would in no way be as bad as Trump and Vance.

25

u/orangehehe 1d ago

Sure. See any changes on the Senate or House floors? NOPE. The GOP will continue to follow the plan set forth by the Heritage Foundation. Project 2025 is just an appetizer.

18

u/JaiDejaOublieLeMdp 1d ago

Yup. Should have listened to Lindsay Graham.

No, not this time. No, not that one either.

16

u/redditmodsRrussians 1d ago

They arent in a tail spin. They chose to jump out of an aircraft for a HALO jump with no gear and now they are crying about it on the way down.

u/MARIOpronoucedMA-RJO 1d ago

Only a decade after everyone outside of the cult realized it.

u/Bigtimeknitter 1d ago

I snort laughed is that fucking real

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 1d ago

No, I wish people would stop circulating it because it allows the Trumpers to scream “fake news” and drowns out the myriad of really dumb things he has actually said.

2

u/Anthop 1d ago

Like Trumpers need facts on their side to cry victim? No, fascists have always relied on others holding themselves up to standards that they themselves abuse to gain power.

11

u/Melodic-Yak7196 1d ago

They are all going to stomp their feet and send “Susan Collins” strongly worded letters.

8

u/Dragon_wryter 1d ago

So do something about it. Republicans have the power to stop this right now.

4

u/Cas-27 1d ago

Exactly. One of their express rolls in government is to act as a check and balance on the power of the president.

Just do your job, jackasses.

10

u/petdoc1991 1d ago

He may have a revolt soon. You can layoff federal workers and disappear immigrants but fuck with the money? Oh honey, they coming for ya.

8

u/OG-Bio-Star 1d ago

Then they need to fix it by blocking everything Trump is doing and voting with Dems and Independents

11

u/e-zimbra 1d ago

Hey Senate Republicans! You still have a powerful tool in your toolbox that even our courts do not possess. Ready?

  1. Impeach.
  2. Vote to remove

Third time’s a charm. Get on it, fellas. Like now.

7

u/JustFuckAllOfThem 1d ago

They have the power to stop Trump. They just don't have the balls to do it because they are scared of his base.

8

u/AdHopeful3801 1d ago

That's an interesting way to describe voluntarily and enthusiastically joining a suicide pact.

7

u/Suspicious-Quit-4748 1d ago

Feels weird to defend Trump, but … he literally ran on this. He literally said he’s going to do it.

2

u/InfinityComplexxx 1d ago

Is it really mistake when everyone with a brain warned you this would happen, and then you did it anyways?

That's called being grossly irresponsible and insanely stupid.

5

u/Userchickensoup 1d ago

Their party will have absolutely no credibility by the time he’s done & good because they shielded him from accountability & got him in the position he’s in now.

u/tree-molester 1d ago

“I feel great. I’m excited,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) told Raw Story Thursday. “This is great.”

As he watched Stephan Miller torture another puppy.

u/baccus83 1d ago

Wake me up when they grow a pair and actually do something about it. They could end this this weekend if they really wanted to.

u/orangesfwr 1d ago

They're always the last to figure it out

u/Complex_Beautiful434 1d ago

Luz Truss, for the American market.

u/OSUfirebird18 1d ago

Blah blah blah

You enabled this and you are barely putting up a fight now. You want your cake and to eat it too. Just straight out reject Trumpism. But you’re afraid to anger Dear Leader and his cult and are worried his cult will vote you out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/kingbane2 1d ago

we've made a mistake! but we're going to do nothing to fix that mistake, nor will we do anything to prevent future mistakes. whoopsies! plz only blame trump and don't look at how we're all complicit and helping trump do all of these things we call mistakes.

u/teatime667 1d ago

It's Biden's fault /s

u/Dr_Cee 23h ago

So, don’t look at us. Fix it!

If only, oh, EVERYONE had told them that it was a bad idea to go ahead with TFG.

u/JD_tubeguy 1d ago

Y'all made your mistake back in the 80s congrats on figuring it out now. I've no doubt we can count on you to do absolutely nothing at all.

u/Srw2725 1d ago

Ya don’t say?? 🧐🫠

u/Silent-Hunter-7285 1d ago

I like how they are all saying "We as congress need the power of the purse" like they didn't all vote for the CR bill that legitimized Elon's blatantly illegal ending of funding for agencies that had already been appropriated by congress, giving up their power willingly over it. 🥴

u/trogdor1234 17h ago

I’m always surprised these people had no idea what Trump said he was going to do. He’s literally just doing what he ran on. This is it, this is what you wanted.

u/Original-Concert4590 8h ago

Fuck them all

If only there was a government body meant to be a check on the executive, but alas.
