You. Thickheaded. ASSHOLES.

“We should have done more to push back, both against his rhetoric and some of the things he did legislatively,” said the [Republican] lawmaker. “The mistake we made is that we always thought he was going to get better. We thought that once he got the nomination, and then once he got a Cabinet he was going to get better, he was going to be more presidential.”

Let me translate. "The mistake we made is that we thought those shells falling on Fort Sumter were full of donuts. We thought that once the slaveholders seceded from the Union, and then got their own government, they were going to get better, they were going to be less treasonous and stop demanding to own other human beings as property."

2. That is rich.

3. Another translation:

“We didn’t care how much pain and suffering he was causing other people as long as it worked to our benefit, but now his behavior is hurting us we’ve realized we don’t like it.”

11. You are obviously fluent in the language of Shameless Republican Hypocrite

Thank you for the verbatim translation.

12. Wish I could rec your post! NT.

4. Money talks louder

Campaign donations, fancy trips, you name it. They took the money and closed their eyes

5. I am sure they learned their lesson

6. Another translation: "We thought he would repress and destroy

only the people and institutions we hate: immigrants, liberals, LGBTQs, Muslims, and most of all Black people.

But now he's sent his rabid mob to attack us! Us rich entitled coddled protected white masters of the universe!

This cannot stand! (Though we still love the judges, the tax cuts, children in cages, and regulatory roll backs that allow our corporate sponsors even more opportunities to trash the environment).

Putting MY precious life in danger? OMG! How could have happened in OUR America?"

[Cha]

7. Is that a fact? Shutting the

barn door after bull escapes comes to mind.

They're just admitting what a bunch of Dumb Shits they are.. scaredy pants, too.

[catbyte]

8. "...done MORE?!?" It would've helped if they had done ANYTHING.

They had 4 fucking years. This is on every last one of those sniveling cowards.

[Cha]

14. Ikr.. they enabled him & bowed

down all the fucking way!

And, of course, they're trying to weasel out of it now.

[JHB]

9. "He's hurting the wrong people! He's supposed to hurt THEM, not US!"

[hatrack]

10. And not one of them has the guts to give their names . . .

They may as well be salaried Chatty Cathy dolls, or ambulatory Furbys, or See-And-Says with expense accounts.

13. There's still time you hypocritical POS

[Pobeka]

20. +1 !!! n/t

15. republicans don't regret nada . . ..

but their concern level is popping up again.

[DFW]

16. The country now regrets that there were so many Republican senators

We should have elected less of them so that Trump would have had even half the opposition that Obama had.

I doubt the match between Cruz and Beto would have gone the same way if held today.

[Chainfire]

17. And it is only, on his way out the door, that the realize that?

Then they are dumber than I thought. I call BS to their late regret.

[RAB910]

18. Sounds like they regret losing Georgia and are now realizing Trump harmed their party long term

they don't give a shit about America or the harm Trump inflicted on America, only what it meant in terms of their losing power

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

19. No excuses, no idiotic justifications accepted. No quarter for these

lying, self-serving anti-American sacks of dung fascist collaborators who appeased and enabled an aspiring fascist dictator, day after day.

Republicans are now, most deservedly, pariah, the permanent bottom feeders of American society.

The only Republican Senator that voted to convict Trump during his impeachment was Mitt Romney, who seems to be the only Republican Senator in existence with a shred of a sense of integrity, decency, ethics, and morality.

We need to ensure that the rest of them rot in the mold of never forgiven, never forgotten, hell for corrupt politicians consigned to the lowest reaches of the dustbin of history.

May they live in infamy as long as human kind exists.
