As bad as things are, it's cathartic to watch the old guard, bourbon sipping Republican party that originally weaponized misinformation to further the agenda of big corpo (faux news since they existed: "Herp derp climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books") realize that though their long in motion coup worked, they lost control of it in 2015 when King confidence scheme scam artist stole their grift out from under them by saying the dogwhistles they used to string their racist base along out loud with a dumb little dance.

Its not helpful, but knowing Mitch McConnell and John Roberts know they sold out their entire society's future not even for their benefit or the benefit of the right small room of classy old money bigots, but for some crass asshole that's as belligerent and willfully ignorant as their sucker voting base to take the reigns of post democracy machiavelian power they so carefully curated since the 70s as they watch powerlessly, and IN FEAR no less?

Good to know that they actually do realize this is a disaster, but are simply cowards who would rather punish the rest of the country than risk losing their jobs that they refuse to do.

I think I should get some solace from hearing there are cracks in the GOP foundation, but it just pisses me off more.

Fuck you, nobody cares. Do your job, coward!

Well, at least she admitted that she's a fucking coward. That's a great first step. Step 2, of course, is to either grow a spine or resign so someone with a spine can take her spot. Color me skeptical, but I don't imagine Sen. Murkowski is willing to take that second step.

For those of you at home, Democrats would need to have just four Republicans join them to vote for impeachment.

In the Senate you would need 19 Republicans to join the Democrats/Independents to remove Trump from office. Honestly I don't think that's out of the realm of possibilities considering there is a literal trial and witnesses can be called to testify about all of the illegal things Trump is doing.

EDIT: BTW this lady is a flipping Senator. Your job is to be a voice for your constituents. Not saying "I'm afraid of retaliation so I'm just going to sit by quietly and let the people who elected me take the brunt of the GOP/MAGA administration's illegal actions."
