We have an out of control President and they are doing NOTHING to reign him in.
Its like the teenagers have taken over the residence with a drunken party and the adults won't be home till its burned to the ground.

(22,440 posts)F...ing coward Republicans, who all seem to be scared to death of him, presumably for both political reasons and fears about the safety of themselves and their families. Democrats are too outnumbered in the House to even get an impeachment underway, especially with Milquetoast Mike Johnson in the speaker's chair.

(4,442 posts)M$M, "Truth" Social, and Faux noise aren't telling them anything about any of it. At least not in terms we would recognise as being the truth.
Until we can get the actual facts out to the ignorant masses, we are on a hiding to nothing.

They accept bribes from our enemies, help stealing elections, etc.
The agree with all of Trump's goals.

BumRushDaShow
(168,061 posts)They do give speeches that all go into the Congressional Record but don't expect CNN or MSNBC to suddenly break into their broadcasts to devote time to showing most Democrats outside of the more "well known" ones and DU will complain that they are "talking to an empty chamber" (when they speak during "Special Orders" time in the House or "Morning Business" in the Senate).
Rep. Al Green has his own YouTube channel where he uploads his remarks. E.g., from Tuesday (6/10/25) -

(9,618 posts)Generically complaining about "Congress" plays into the media obsession with both sidesism. ALL criticism of Congress must include that it is specifically Republicans in Congress that are the problem.

(63 posts)Congress or, republicans I should say, are being blackmailed and threatened to tow the line. That and they're a bunch of fascist idiots.
Their way is the only way...

Warpy
(114,544 posts)He's terrified of Fatso and h's making sure nothing that offends his Lard and Savior gets out of committee. Other Republicans are similarly terrified.
The terror might lessen a bit once they get through primary season and they're more terrified of the voters.
Just don't bet the rent on that. Johnson will make sure they're hamstrung.
