Ron Johnson (R) weighs in on trump's latest tweet. He sounds a little spooked

[senseandsensibility]

"I am hoping and praying that President Trump is, this really is bluster. I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure."

Yeah, well there's hoping and praying, Ron, but how about joining with the Dems to DO SOMETHING???

[displacedvermoter]

1. Perhaps the wisest thing Johnson has ever said.

Of course, that is really not saying much.

[senseandsensibility]

3. Yes, agree on both counts.

Apparently he said this on some RW podcast, so the people who need to hear it the most heard it.

[orangecrush]

2. ...

[senseandsensibility]

5. That song was actually going through my head as I typed this

Wasn't sure if people would get the reference.

[orangecrush]

6. ...

[MadameButterfly]

39. This is perfect on so many levels

Except Republicans are doing it in the opposite order.
Erasing their own opinions and dignity in pursuit of Trump's approval.
Followed by wishing and hoping that works out.

When will Republicans understand that they own this already?
And they are the only ones who can stop it?

[Torchlight]

4. He's praying that his president is having a tantrum?

He sets a low bar for both his president and his god (and in that order).

[Cherrycheeks]

7. Well,he and the rest of his party ..

Are responsible as well. Johnson talks big shit like McConnell and the rest are the reason we are in this situation. POS!!!😠😠😠 Money is not going to protect you mfkers when the shit hits the fan!😡

[Irish_Dem]

8. Hoping and praying.

What a bastard.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Ron Johnson's legacy is tied to Trump's, so yeah, he's going to go down in history

next to Benedict Arnold.

[Johnny2X2X]

10. Start?

We've been blowing up civilian infrastructure for weeks now.

[malaise]

14. and killing children

with impunity.

[sop]

15. We've been blowing up a lot of innocent civilians.

[RockRaven]

11. Fuck him. He is complicit. His voting record says so.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. Little late Ron. He started this shit by bombing little school girls.

I don't guess that matters, huh?

[spanone]

13. An enabler of trmp prays he doesn't do what he enabled him to do.

Fuck johnson

[lastlib]

46. ....with a porcupine.

Finished it for ya!

[GaYellowDawg]

16. He can hope and pray in one hand

And shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

Don't fucking hope. Don't fucking pray. DO SOMETHING.

[Mblaze]

17. Pre - Thoughts and prayers

Are just as effective as post thoughts and prayers.

James 2:18 Faith is demonstrated through actions, not just words.

18. This Ron...

Republican members of Congress celebrated the Fourth of July in Russia


Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX),

snip

The U.S. intelligence community has been very clear that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential elections in order to help Trump get elected — and that Russia will probably try again to target the 2018 midterms.

Trump, however, continues to publicly cozy up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He even insists that we should believe Putin when he says Russia had nothing to do with election meddling.

And while the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee quietly released a report this week saying that Trump is wrong, the Republicans “investigating” this issue in the House have loudly backed Trump for months, often using smears and conspiracy theories to do so.

It’s now clearer than ever: the GOP party line is to support Trump no matter what, and to look the other way as Russia actively tries to destroy American democracy.

[Joinfortmill]

30. Yup, TRAITORS, all.

[Figarosmom]

19. Ron Johnson is as much an embarrassment

To WI as is Duffy is and McCarthy was. UGGGH.

[niyad]

20. FUCK YOU, YOU DAMNED TRAITOR!! YOU helped create this monster,

NOW CONTROL HIM!!!

[stage left]

22. I think

they've lost control of the monster just like Frankenstein did. They could try though.

[BadgerMom]

21. Get off your knees and do your damn job, Senator!

-signed a weary, frustrated, angry nation world

[calimary]

35. But the only problem still is that he hasn't gotten up off his knees.

Senator Johnson, you’ve got to STOP worshipping Trump and giving him a pass every time he screws us!

[Botany]

23. Well do something Ron. You have 3 hours left.

Call your fellow Republican Senators and get him removed now.

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. Someone told him to say that - he's too stupid to think rationally.

[Delarage]

25. He barely won re-election

I hate that and I hate that we're stuck with a Russian asset in the Senate. All Repukes make me

[RetiredParatrooper]

26. Johnson voted to acquit Trump

Twice.

FTG.

[thought crime]

27. When you've lost Ron Johnson...

[MadameButterfly]

40. They thought they could control Trump like

Germans thought they could control Hitler. No one was prepared for a malignant narcissist on metamphetamines.
No one studied the psychology they were dealing with, now, or then.

[Bluetus]

28. What is that old bromide? "God helps those who help themselves."

[Joinfortmill]

29. It may be up to the Generals. Hope they do the right thing...because there will be a reckoning.

[MadameButterfly]

41. The generals just got replaced

i expect Trump has been hiring fellow malignant narcissists.

[Joinfortmill]

44. Yes, which is not an encouraging situation, but we'll soon see which way the sword falls.

[ScratchCat]

31. Oh, for Stapp's sake

"I am hoping and praying that President Trump is, this really is bluster. I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure."

Hope and pray?!?!? Just remove the mentally insane mother fucker, you idiot, and you wont have to "hope and pray" the POTUS doesn't commit war crimes.

Speechless at what is being allowed to go on in this country....

Democrats should have insisted the boat bombings were illegal and constituted war crimes and demanded all military power be returned to Congress. But here we are instead...

[MadameButterfly]

42. I don't know how Dems could have done that but

it deserved a bigger reaction.

[Javaman]

32. oh ron, you cowardly bastard. you're name is going to be hitched to war crimes forever. nt

[snot]

33. I've called every congresscritter who represents me and a few that don't,

and I hope everyone here is doing the same.

But our representatives have shown a remarkable ability to ignore our wishes in the past; so I believe the best remaining option is a General Strike & boycott.

The only thing TPTB care about is what's on their balance sheets.

[ColoringFool]

34. 🎶 "Wishin' And Hopin', and Hopin' And Wishin'" 🎶

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

36. Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie...

No matter what Putin' Puppet does at this point, you're as guilty as he is!
Is it yourself that you are really worried about??

[BannonsLiver]

37. He needs to talk to Captain Kia and Pooty Putinite.

I learned in another thread that we’re all overreacting and it’s a big nothingburger.

[Hassler]

38. When Ron Johnson, moron from Wisconsin

Says something almost reasonable, pigs can finally fly

[sheshe2]

43. He sounds....

Concerned, 😦 Sue Collins level of concern

[pat_k]

45. Get back to DC, pass Articles of Impeachment and send for immediate, overwhelming Vote to Convict
