The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.
I'm going with cowardly.
Both
Definitely both, although I would think capitulation for political survival being the primary motivation.
Unqualified was the only qualification needed. Now, they can blame someone as a distraction while pillaging federal funds.
The reason is to place totally incompetent cretin in charge of our most important government positions so they will destroy what they govern. This is intentional and Putin knows how to make a country implode. Communism has been using this system for decades. Intent + Purpose!
They are openly mocking the American people. Gleefully letting us know that they don’t care what happens to any of us - their constituents included - as long as they get their bag. Wish their supporters would wake up already.
Cowards
So obvious that we at fk’d for a long time. #WeThePeoole are the only hope
Just freaking cowards trying to protect their perks
Both!!!
If only they were meaningless.
Or they’re complicit in the coup and expect to be living under a dictatorship
Too dumb to know their solidarity is causing destruction to our way of life.
Too dumb to care!
Both
Cowards
Both... I guess the fear of being primaried is real...
Yep. Rs won’t disagree with Trump because they want to keep their positions of wealth and power and they know one word from their orange master and they’re done. But it’s not a cult. 🙄
It's the opposite - they know how important these positions are which is why they want people in place to undermine and subvert them. They can't run on "government doesn't work" as an ideology if it's working properly.
Both
I think it is just the latter, but instead of "cowardly" I'd say "utterly spineless"
They are more interested in the power over Democrats and grifting.
They are cowards. Musk has said that he'll fund challengers at primaries if any GOP politicians don't obey Trump. They like their easy life.
Cowardly
That’s not the goal. They are perfectly qualified to destroy the agencies. This is the Apartheid Elroy, Thiel, Yarvin, PayPal Mafia Afrikaner takeover of our country to kill millions of poor people and install the Oligarchs as the new royalty. Wake up or become a techno-peasant!
Did RFK get confirmed?
How about they support a new fascist government? It’s on them…
The Republicans are voting to approve the appointees because they are cowards.
Most of Hitler's collaborators were not Nazi fanatics, but cowards who did not dare to resist and mediocre careerists who saw the opportunity to have power. Thus the Republicans at this time.
Republicans need to grow a pair right fucking now!
It’s the last one. If the positions was meaningless it wouldn’t be a problem as they could do no harm. But they allready have. Also. If you can’t hear that Kennedy is a very very sick person. Then you need a doctor to look at you. He looks like a drug addict. When he speak he confirm he’s using.
Or, and hear me out here: they know exactly who these people are, and they are fully signed onto Project 2025. Destroying America is the goal.
Sort of, they want to destroy the pluralistic society of the United States and replace it with a condescending patriarchy where only like minded assholes have any say.
Exactly. That's called Project 2025.
I vote cowardly! We need to get to them. Bug the shit out of each and every one, every day until something cracks.
Both
They are chicken shits.
They are all extremists and regimists. They don’t want good government.
Most of these old Republicans are probably thinking, at their age, they will dead before any real harm occurs from this dangerous administration! Guess their children & grandchildren are just shit out of luck!
Typical boomer/Mexico Generation bullshit.
Don’t overthink it. They’re just cowards.
OR, these are literally their best people. All reasons are bad
Both
They support their vote by admiring his “qualification” as a disrupter. Unfortunately they ignore the fact that we need well-qualified, educated disrupters not misinformed, hoax-spreading, grifting disrupters. 😡
Too cowardly! All of them are scared of Trump!!
Yep And I am fucking tired of it
Without a doubt, both conclusions apply.
Nope. They’re scared.
Or, more likely, they have accepted bribes from the richest man in the whole or his billionaire buddies.
If you realize most of these people were in office during 9/11 and they all helped to cover that up, then you start to see this has been going on for decades. It’s not cowardice it’s greed that moves them. “Every evil begins with a lie” Republicans are liars. They hide behind lies like a thief.
Guess I missed that article. Can you post a link to the 9/11 coverup ?
Also some of these videos show info wars Alex Jones but he had nothing to do with the originals. He must have bought them. Probably to help dirty their importance. Don’t be fooled by that.
Our government has went rogue. Our main news sources have been muzzled. Without the truth, evil thrives. Every evil begins with a lie. 9/11 is a lie that our government concocted and our News organizations peddled. As a people we are trapped in an endless loop of lies. youtu.be/rNIzFgCpDrM?...
The Bush family and the Saudis…. Now you know why W didn’t come forward lately to help save our democracy from the evil he helped to create. We as a people have been sold out and the reason other countries don’t sound alarm bells is fear of retaliation from our military. youtu.be/oWGdog0Xuuk?...
You know what’s sad, gullible Americans aren’t just magas. I’m not here to argue, but try to realize our gov used the tool of flood the zone with conspiracy theories to stop people from looking further into the Republicans diabolical plot of PNAC. youtu.be/papBCwdDC6w?...
youtu.be/nlzepq6JaxA?...
youtu.be/uS0bqaOM0W4?...
If this isn’t clear… to outfit a building with explosives it takes days or weeks it’s not something that could possibly happen within hours. The building seven was detonated by explosives just as the towers were. There were no airplanes. None. Video fed to shocked citizens was an illusion.
Think about how a plane wreck looks. Four airplane crashes no airplane debris. Up north the airplane supposedly disappeared into the ground? Without a trace. How totally gullible of the public to believe such garbage! It’s time to face the truth of our government. If we don’t it will continue.
Because the fact that Americans swallowed such bunk told these greedy bloodthirsty Republicans that by all means continue. Because if the Americans are this stupid they will accept anything we feed them… and sadly that’s been the outcome… they keep going at your (all of us) expense.
Also NufffRespect put these out a handful of years after 9/11 not 11 yrs ago like some of them say. I saved them over the years is the only reason they were not buried. Try to use your own mind.
W Bush and his CIA director father H Bush concocted it all. With Silverstein to no longer worry about renovations n cleaning up asbestos. Win win. He gets a free new bldgs R’s in office get back to the wars in the ME. Like Yahu they devised their own disaster to help them with their plot.
Both. No question.
Both
They’re bowing to the threats of being primaried if they vote against T.
100% cowards to 47.
Both!

#StoptheCoup
Or, they have a bigger plan to sell out the Country to a Dictator.
They’re mostly waiting to see what taxpayers’ money President Musk is going to allow them to have after he’s taken most of it for himself.
That Is, If There's Any Of It Left. . . . . . 💰 After These Modern Day Robber Baron Billionaire$ Bankrupt Us All!
BOTH!!!
They are saying it's fear for the lives of THEIR families. They're being physically threatened. What about the rest of the Citizens of this country?
EXACLTY!!! If they can't do the god damn job they know is right, then get the hell out of the way! Cowardice is welcomed all over the place. Leadership and positions of power is NOT one of them!
They're too cowardly as they are afraid of what will happen if they oppose trump. He's already said he's going after anyone that has in the past.
With Trump's cabinet nominations we are witnessing the true meaning of the "Deep State" -- leadership from the BOTTOM of the barrel (where rot is manifest).
Sadly there are Dems also voting for these obviously unqualified nominees! They need to be primaried. It’s time for Democrats to respect their base! They clearly don’t care what we think, that needs to change!
Look at the backgrounds for (General) Lloyd Austin & Pete Hegseth, then guess which one the Gaslighting in Overdrive Party claimed was a DEI hire! Hegseth & Roadkill Dude were picked for loyalty, not for actual qualifications.
Yes! And also: Congressional Republicans support this buffoonery. They know that the kakistocracy will re-route the ground springs of American prosperity only to the ones who play ball with the Trump Crime Family. In their minds, their greed has eclipsed their duty to uphold the Constitution.
As if they never swore an oath at all.
P2025's plan is for all gov agencies' decision-making to be destroyed (incompetent leadership) and placed under the direction of the president The plan was right out in the open & they are executing it in plan sight. To anyone who read P2025, there have been no surprises. Only the swiftness!!!
I read it. There’s even more horror to come! If you know anyone in a same sex marriage, please tell them to MAKE absolutely sure that their adoption papers are all in order for their kids. See an adoption lawyer right away if they are not!
Absolutely true!!!!! There is soooo much more to come
Hey BDD..Here in the South, it's known as being a Chicken💩. That about sums it up. Gov Of Putin indeed.
Wondering if we're at the who knows what/when point and many are worried they'll go to jail and he's threatening it.
Both things are true.
Money. They will get more money by following their leader. That’s it. That’s all.
The second. They know, they just are weak and "buffoons"
My guess would be both!!!
They are COWARDS who are all scared to oppose Trump on anything.
Or aAre they then compromised by Russian kompromat. I'll go with the latter, it's the only explanation unless they are just totally devoid of any ethics, integrity, or morality.
Both - it’s a loyalty test
Both, but mostly they're fearful of Trump.
I vote COWARDLY. They must be afraid that they would not get another job that paid so well for such little work
Definitely both.
Both for sure!
Cowards, the lot of them. And some democrats apparently.
My bet is on both
4
Point number 2. Definitely.
They value reelection above all else.
Let’s get real! Trump knows the Senators who took cash under the table funneled via the NRA from Putin and his Russian spy Butina. He’s got them by the balls, they CAN’T go up against Trump, he’s got too much dirt on them. They sold out years ago or you would have seen them try to save the NRA.
I go with meaningless
💯% Accurate Sir! ☝️
They will not stand up to their Cult leader. Party over country
The way some Dems have voted with them makes me think a few Dems need to be primaried
Matt Gaetz was rejected because they universally hated him - nothing but that would do it
Too cowardly to stand up to him . Disgusting!
Both
They have convinced themselves they are the chosen ones, the ones who will be 'saved', the ones who will have power once this coup is complete. And they are stupid enough to believe it. Like trump, or any of them, feel loyalty goes both ways.
These people will be cast aside or thrown under the bus once they are no longer of value to King Donald.
Precisely.
Those piles of money won’t make a stairway to heaven, nor will St. Peter excuse their behavior.
Don't they realize they're out of a job a dictator doesn't need Congress they don't need senators LOL and if they're depending on Trump to pay them off they're going to join the long list of jilted lovers
Dictators need populations to rule over. They don't just crown themselves king (would be GREAT if trump did this, because that would likely be one of the ONLY ways any in the cult would see the light). The senators get to stay where they are to put on the show that is a banana republic.
Do you really think that Trump ego would allow him to let the senators stay no they'll be falling out of Windows
I think that trump knows if he were to do anything quite so radical as you describe, he's lose a majority of the minority support that he already has. All banana republics have their fake gov't to keep the mindless dolts appeased/confused while they screw them over. Makes it harder to blame the 👑
Trump's ego would not allow anyone else to have any publicity I don't care how many times they fellatio him... they will drop from Windows
If he does that, we go full-bore war torn and he has to worry about being killed 24/7 for the rest of his miserable life. All the while he rules over HALF a war torn shit hole A real dictator's clock starts ticking when there is unrest. To maintain power, the people have to be placated to a degree
All of the above. I think some of these appointees understand what they've been appointed to may not exist soon, if it's beneficial to the PUBLIC it will be axed soon enough...
Can't or won't stand up to Trump. We have elected babies.
Or they are totally on board with it all, and always have been.
And as a party, they have NO plan, never had a plan, just suckled to whomever could save their jobs so they would not have to work REAL ones
It’s cowardice.
Both
Yes they are morons and sycophants, but I think they have all been informed that the skeletons in their collective closets will doom them politically. They are being blackmailed.
I say they Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to Trump! Either that or he has something on them that they don’t want the world to know, or he bribed them! Your choice!
BOTH. These Republicans are complete and utter COWARDS who fear primary elections in their districts because they no longer want to participate or to have value in regular society. They need to be removed by voters in their districts and replaced with human beings possessing character and spines.
Republicans?? What about our Democratic Senators who are aren’t blocking anyone? Didn’t Joe Munchkin (misspelling deliberate) block tons of generals? Why are our senators doing nothing? Is it Shumer?
Option 3: They are looking forward to their financial gain.
How long before J6 traitors and right wing groups are brought in?
Or they are very clueless! I agree totally, but I think they are fearful of Trump. These Republicans don’t want to be voted out of office, but they keep this shit up they will be replaced by Democrats. However, I want to see the Dems stop playing nice. Stand up and do something!
I’m going with both
They have put so much fear into every member of the R party. If you don’t ride with us, you and your loved ones are doomed. They all have been mentally hijacked and the fear of the wealthiest individuals in the planet has them confirming or else.
This is still their boat and they won’t rock it or they may be tossed over the side. Anything to stay in right?
Pretty certain it is both
Or they’re trying to destroy the agencies
Or the gop/fascist are serving the interest of the oligarchs and Russia.
Both.
I'm sure someone else already said this but it is the purest form of loyalty test. He grabs a handful of his feces, shoves it in their faces, and waits for them to describe the floral bouquet. Non compliance is an end to their careers, family safety etc. And one by one they toe the line.
bsky.app/profile/unre...
@refusefascism.bsky.social
It's both SMDH
I vote for too cowardly.
The second for most. Both for the morons.
Always ascribe cowardice & general ass kissing to their behavior. You will seldom be wrong.
Both
I suspect the second.
They’re all just puppets.
Heavy odds on the latter!
Both
In my unasked for opinion Republicans in Congress both Senate and the House, don't want their jobs anymore. They don't want the responsibilities and they're handing it over to Trump willingly. The Senate with cabinet positions, and the house giving up its purse with Elon Musk.
In effect Congress is abdicating its responsibility. Sad state of affairs as when that happens the coup is complete.
You left out their fall into evil.
May they suffer the consequences of their actions
They are doing it for chump and gang.
I say it’s number two. Cowards!
There are 18 Republican senators up for election in 2 years. Voters must fund their opponents with a national organization #target18 to stop the illegal behavior.
Cowards all!
It’s so weird. At this point, all these terrible people are going to do just as much damage to them and their families as they do to the rest of us. Why are they putting a job over their own family, friends, and country? Trump is going be running the bus right over them too.
They care only about self preservation.
They are yes men, who are expendable!!! They’re not there for expertise, they’re there to take the fall, when told to!!! The funny is, they’re not smart enough to see this!!!
both
True that! I believe Trump will try to dismantle the branches and try to be king. He’s already got control of all federal dept funds . He’s got control of every citizens social security and Medicare , Medicaid . The military /marines better honor their oath to constitution!
Or they are part of the coup.
Trump tried to kill them all and pardoned all his mad dogs and yet they’re still loyal fools.
Both
I'll take "cowardly" for $100, Alex.
I think it’s the latter. Cowardice is popping up all over the place.
Republicans will get us all killed. They have no respect for life.
Maybe if we all identify as fetuses?? Then they can't touch us
Too cowardly, plain and simple..... a bunch of cowards and traitors
In the end, ending this insanity will likely be up to YOU, the people. Perhaps when Americans see that their own bottom line is under the control of an unelected, unconfirmed, foreign national billionaire who has no allegiance to the U.S. government, it will spur action in the streets.
It will remain under the votes of the folks that voted the felon back in.....or the ones who failed to vote. The rest of us tried to vote in a SANE choice for U.S. President who had the best interests of the citizens at heart.
Perhaps, but... "Let's open an exploratory committee, first, though."-Susan Collins, probably.
I'm going to go with they're cowards. They know what's going to happen but the, to them, is worse than losing their position. I hope the constituents see this for what it is and gets rid of them.
Cowardice is their most important product.
Where is the lie? Are they not commiting CRIMES against the entire USA?
Both
They are cowards
It’s both!
We are in a coup. We are IN a coup. We ARE in a coup. We are in A coup. WE ARE IN A COUP.
Got that right. Got that right. Got that right
Got that right. (you forgot one 😊)
Have you ever heard that sayin-I had to explain it 6 ways from Sunday ? Yeah, the territory we are in.
🎯🎯🎯
And yet you sit around typing....
You have no idea of what I do.
Excellent, im very encouraged by that. If you ever need a safe house and new identity. You have a friend here. Get the job done.
Both are mutually exclusive and both are our new reality.
The third reason is to snub their noses in our faces because they think they are “owning the Libs”.
They are NOT SERIOUS about these nominees or these positions because they plan on eliminating them. Doesn’t anyone else get that? Same with every other Federal Department.
They are meaningless. I've been emailing ALL members of the House. My new message is "Congress is unnecessary in an autocracy." As in, they will soon be irrelevant.
True! They are making themselves irrelevant!
Remember the famous words: “Great Job Brownie!”? We will have a disaster or a terrorist attack and these fools will cause people to die.
Why is anyone expecting Republican congressmen to do anything??? Hasn't everybody figured out that they are accessories to the crime???
I think that's exactly why no one is calling out any R's. They know they've already been bought and paid for.
There is a third, equally likely, option: they are happy to help destroy democracy so long as their pockets get fat.
I keep saying this, apparently NONE of these geniuses is an actual student of history. Of course most of them have the intellectual curiosity of a turd. They know nothing of fascist regimes, & that no matter how much you kiss up & do what they want, EVERYONE IS EXPENDABLE!!! As an artist & half 🇱🇻,
Gustav Klucis is a my favorite example. He created some of the most famous pro-Stalin propaganda posters (which I actually take inspiration from as a fuck you, esp. to RUSSIA) but when he started veering off from what they wanted, guess who got disappeared?⬇️This guy.
They’re cowards.
Both
BOTH!
Just 18 days in and the train wreck is already claiming its victims! Can we survive this or is Divine Intervention the only solution?
Both
Racist Nazi pig.
Just cowards.
They’re fuckin cowards and always have been
They’re all fucking cowards. The entire lot. Starting with the orange anus. The biggest coward of them all.
OR they may be compromised by treasonous, criminal or otherwise unacceptable behavior, the evidence of which is held by a foreign government.
Too cowardly and worried about getting reelected
Looks like no matter what they do they won’t be reelected. So why not do the right thing? Bunch of cowards as I see it.
I said that about tRump. Oops.
bsky.app/profile/did:...
Thanks.
The GOP seem suspiciously confident that they will never again need to face the electorate.
I vote for both.
They are BOTH and worse! Despicable human imbeciles! As though these Nominees will NOT impact their lives and the lives of their FAMILIES! They are LOSERS who have NO integrity or respect! They are an embarrassment to the United States!
I agree. They're evil.
It’s a Bloodless Coup so far
I do have to wonder what is wrong with every single one of those Republicans. If they are that afraid and cowardly, they should leave the party.
We know they don’t think they are meaningless.
It is the former.
Both.
Oralè Resister Elon’s Plumbers Friday Night raid into Treasury Systems Without security clearances Is against the law! And Is an assault on our privacy! #ElonPlumbers #USTreasury #TreasurySystems #StopTheElon #USDemocracy
They should succumb to Identity Theft .... to the tune of several hundred million occurrences. Then sent to jail.
Names are available in case anyone is interested😉
He will throw them all under the bus!
Fking fascists & perhaps too young to understand just how much they are destroying this country. It's up to us to educate them. By getting in their faces & telling them if you see them.
"yelling"
I doubt they are ignorant. I refuse to believe the DOGE goon squad (and the republican party) isn’t doing this out of pure greed and malice. Elon and technocrats definitely are. But I welcome them to prove me wrong.
And their families too. The parents have just as much blame as raising & unleashing fascists on the world.
I’d bet real money (not crypto) that not one of these punks ever took a civics/government class. 🤬
Easy to manipulate kids who view him as a god.
Heck, their frontal lobes are not fully formed yet! As youngsters, they lack judgement and an understanding of consequences. That is why Mush man hired them.
They have all our information that they could be selling to all kinds of places.. our identities and our families lives are at risk.. our children
Are they US citizens??according to Elon’s measures could they be DEI hires?
Sure looks like a COUP to me. Private billionaire taking over government financial systems. Watching in disbelief from Australia.
These guys are all going to jail. Maybe not during Trump's term, but they'll be joining him there after 2029.
Even these children need to be brought up on charges. Tell your representatives. #gmb
Wonder if their families agree with what they’re doing.
Traitors

These photos need names. Not just an age listed.
They need to be arrested. They should know better.
Send DC police after their asses! I doubt the DC police are in the Lying King’s pocket!
Not yet, but I suspect dc police lean pretty conservative. Who knows how many boot lickers are on the force…
Listen: Take this seriously. Put a freeze on your credit reports with the major Bureaus. Requests copies and monitor your credit. But also, get prepared. It's prep time. Have a pack out kit. Get a passport. Make a plan and practice it. Better to prepare and me be wrong, then to not and me be right.
Are we having a skate-board contest?
Looks like we’re in the middle of Watergate Part 2. Except these guys are committing crimes in broad daylight.
Are they returning to Russia soon for their ticker tape parade?
New Kids On The Block: Fascist Edition
These young people are old enough to know better. Actions have consequences and it's time they had a hard life lesson with that concept. What they are all doing is illegal.
The statute of limitations will extend beyond Trump’s term, so they can be prosecuted for their illegal acts after Trump is out.
These kids ruined their lives for a tech-bro. We better see them in cuffs for the rest of their lives after the dust settles.
Who trained them ????? Hackers they have our information.ong lock them up for life . Send them to El Salvador 🇸🇻
Traitors. They MUST be dealt with.
