Sen Sasse: "We all know that President cannot lead us through this time. We know that he's unable"

[kpete]

Senator Sasse on the floor: We all know that the President cannot lead us through this time. We know that he's dispositionally unable to restrain his impulse to divide us. His mockery of Dr. Ford in Mississippi was wrong but it doesn't really surprise anyone. It’s who he is."

1. And yet he'll vote for Kavanaugh and do nothing to hold Trump accountable. NT

[BeyondGeography]

6. Yup

He makes Flake look like Abraham Lincoln.

[Just my opinion]

11. + 1000%

[George II]

16. My exact words!

[madaboutharry]

2. Sasse talks out of both sides of his mouth.

He is a faker. He walked over to Dr. Ford and shook her hand after her testimony. Then after Kavanaugh’s public temper tantrum, he said that Kavanaugh was trying to defend himself and that Kavanaugh still had his vote.

Sasse is full of it.

[JI7]

3. but his ass won't do anything about it

[dawg day]

4. But Sasse still "trusts" Trump to nominate for SCOTUS.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Well Senator,do something about your Parties Leaders

Hate filled demeanor. You suckers could have sanctioned him two years ago. Cowards.

[hatrack]

7. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

And how will Gentle, Sensible Ben vote? Why, with his shitbird Republican colleagues, of course.

Spare us the moist bullshit. We all know what you are. You're a fucking Republican, Ben, and not worth a thimbleful of horsepiss.

[sandensea]

8. +1

Until he proves otherwise, it's fair to say he's still trying to have it both ways.

And I don't know which is worse: to be monstrous, like Cheeto; or to be duplicitious.

That's apparently all that he, Flake, Collins, Murkowski, and the rest of the so-called GOP "moderates" will ever be.

14. At least if they're in-yer-face disgusting, you can call 'em like you see 'em.

Otherwise, issuing comments from both sides of their mouths misleads to false hope.

Then they, of course, subsequently pull the rug out from under you.

We got their 'number' and it's sickening.

[sandensea]

18. Exactly.

Nothing worse than a monster with good manners.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. Said in a very low voice: "...a monster with good manners."😒

Right on.

[DeminPennswoods]

9. Words!

Words! Words! Words!
I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?

[dalton99a]

10. Yeah, it's who he is, and we must support him 100%

[czarjak]

12. So...

You know wrong, right?

[mountain grammy]

13. Come on Ben. Do the right thing.

[ProudLib72]

15. There are better ways for him to show his distrust of Rump and compasion for his friends

than just offer up some empty words. Fake senators talk; real senators act.

[roamer65]

17. Then do something about it, Sen Sasse.

For god’s sake, just don’t sit there and whine.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. "... and that is why I refuse to do dick about it!!"

[JDC]

20. His usual prep for a Yes vote.

It must help him clear his conscience.

F him until he has the courage of

his supposed convictions.

[alwaysinasnit]

21. I wish someone in his vicinity would tell him "put up, or shut up." Words without action only serve

to piss people off.

[rpannier]

23. Sasse is another fraud

Lotta hand wringing and that's about it

[SWBTATTReg]

24. I just don't understand these guys, Sasse, Flake, perhaps others could start voting ...

w/ the democrats within the Senate on issues jointly when country should be first, such as they did on the opioid epidemic. There are other critical issues too, and if they all combined, they would constitute an effective block against presidential abuse of power.

And not just vote on issues but bring forth amendments, laws, etc. that can be put forth. For the good of the country.

[Achilleaze]

25. America needs your vote, Senator Sasse

Please don't give it to the KGOP.
