Now, all of a sudden all the Trump-o-phants in the House and Senate want Trump to disappear.

They had their chance to by voting to convict him after he was impeached...but they didn't. They knew he was guilty, they knew he was dangerous, they knew he was a Russian tool, they knew he was out to destroy the country and democracy. Damn them!!

All anyone had to do was see the first two segments of "Active Measures" to know they were playing with a Putin pawn by protecting Trump.

Yes. Typically psychopaths get more dangerous when they are cornered, challenged or ignored. Irish_Dem Nov 2022 #7

Trump comes off as a charming buffoon to many.
Easy to ignore his danger level.

But you can easily see by the crimes committed and damage he has done how dangerous he is.

"You make your bed, you lie in it."

Sounds like that is what the Republican Party needs to do. They made their bed.

After all, they finally overturned Roe, got just what they wanted. But now they don't want what they got?

Yeah, they had two opportunities to cut that cancer out of their political body (we even told them he was a sickness), and frittered them both away. Watch how they re-coalesce around the former guy in the next few months, just like they did after January 6. They were good and scared for a few days and more than one Republican pronounced himself done with the former guy. But who was their standard bearer again on Tuesday? None other than.

Keep shitting the bed, Republicans. It'll be clean one day.

and the votes. To many if not all of them, he was a useful idiot. These people are politicians.

Not that he's falling out of favor, he's no longer useful and they don't want the optics.

Their albatross about the neck! Fuck them!
