They are cosplaying at being elected. Nobody should take them seriously. They have no power over anything but suggestions. Unless you give them power over you, then that’s your fault.

Goes to show the incompetence and Trump probably not all there

it is unbeliveable how week all these dudes are. why, oh why do people elect them?

The Brown shirts are fighting with the Black shirts. I love a good Nazi fight.

Jeffries will become speaker soon. IMO

That would be nice very nice right now we could only wish

Let's encourage Dumpy to take more GOP members from the House and Senate for his cabinet or other high level roles...oops, the House and Senate turns blue!

I'd love it if that happened.

Their fear of ramamusky makes me sick. What have we done to this nation?

If only the little father knew.

Yet the fear of being primaries and labeled a RINO is the new red scare.

They can either get used to it or nip it in the bud soon. Johnson is the one who holds the real power at the moment. So he can do the right thing for the country & reap the benefit or loss later on - or he could let Musk shut down our government & trample over the Speaker's power.

I doubt he has it in him. MacConnell had multiple opportunities to get R party back himself. He didn’t take it. I have no hope for any of that party.

I’m pretty sure Mike would soil his pants if he actually had to stand up to anything.

These guys have no idea what they are doing. Their political antennae are grossly underdeveloped. What works in business is not necessarily applicable to party politics, as they are going to find out.

Sounds like fascists being fascist!

Cowards all of them. And they will do whatever Musk & Vivek say.

Republicans are cowards, this all could have been prevented in 2015.

Why aren't the Russians speaking out publicly about Putin? Now we know.....

Hopefully just enough of them will at the very least uphold the constitution and say no when necessary…but I won’t hold my breath! America is becoming Russia! And everyone can see it! Some don’t care and there are a lot of cowardly bystanders!

Or vote anything other than straight party line. Off the record frustration with no follow-up is worse than worthless. It’s just trying to substitute responsibility for their votes with pity for their feelings.

Lmao the consequences of their actions whaaaaaat????

The OrangeF'cker isn't in charge of sh!t. Aren't they supposed to be working for their constituents? Why are they consulting with him or any of the other weirdos that absolutely nobody voted for?

Musk and Ramaswamy are drunk on power right now. They think they can tweet and make anything happen. Thing is, so far it's in a "prove them wrong" stage and they have not been proven wrong.

Oooooo big talk from the too tough losers. These clowns need to get some sack and realize he’s just a psycho w no government role. Unelected bullshit artist. Emphasis on bullshit.

Spineless POS’s…cowards !!

President Elect Musk scares them more than the puppet Dump

I really believe that you are correct. Trump might fire off a nasty tweet, but Musk owns the tweet machine. Trump may have money, but Musk has enough money to buy your opponents victory in a primary.

Whatever happened to “see something say something”?

How long before the egomaniac felon gets tired of musk taking the limelight and acting as elected president before he kicks his ass to the door.

Bunch of spineless idiots. I like my leaders with a backbone. Stop bowing to #presidentmusk and do your job

It's Trump all over again. Now it's Elon they'll talk about OFF THE RECORD. Even as Musk literally overthrows their fuhrer to install himself.

Also a look at the future. Everything off record because no one has any balls.

Yes, they are. Bunch of punk-ass bitches!

President Musk will beat them with his giant money club right out of office if they don’t toe the line

Spineless

Oh they'll all bend the knee still because they're a bunch of insufferable, crooked, treasonous cowards who care only about their blood money and keeping their positions of power. When you elect clowns. Expect a circus! Only this circus is going to burn down the entire tent! #AshesAndRuins

Cowards do cowardly things.

Yeeeeeesss! ::rubs hands together:: My seeecret plan called "let the two narcissists drive each other insane" is working splendidly!

They all supported Trump’s reelection. They deserve what they get.

The only way to beat them from a Republican view is to band together and form a united front. He cant run against all of the Rep Party at once.. otherwise they will always be defeated in detail.

They need to start fearing the public and not a billionaire immigrant. Step up public.

They need more "they ain't my boss yet" energy.

"Without talking to Trump"? Y'all realize Donnie followed his lead until someone smarter pointed out he was going to get the blame not Biden right?

P.A.B.s

www.wired.com/story/gop-la...

Johnson is a weak man. He should repent and resign.

It's a bit too late to be wringing hands.

I really don't think Trump is aware of what happened today.

Sure, they talk to each other behind his back then lick his feet (or something else)when he cracks a whip. Does anyone remember musky's name being on any ballot?

They’re being held hostage by Trump, and will face being ‘primaried’, and face the need to get real jobs.

Do you think we could organize a Class Action Suit against trump/musk? How do we sue THEM for emotional and social harm?

You can't sue a president, though apparently they can sue you.

Then we sue Musk for trillions and pay off the US debt. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes you can sue a president civilly.

The USA has rotted out at the top. The only value now is how much money and power you have, not honesty and integrity.

Two people is hardly a lot. There's hundreds of congress critters.

Because they don’t possess spines!

They are actual elected officials with actual governmental positions. Unlike Musk/Ramaswamy who are unconfirmed appointees to a non-existent Department. They have no standing. If they attempt to interfere with elected officials, they should be arrested.

1. Time to start the 'head of lettuce vs. Musk being marginalized' webcam 2. By summer we will see the split between toadies and 'grow a spine' Rs who no longer fear the threats of being primaried

Who is paying them or are they financing themselves?

I, for one, am smiling as I sit here with my popcorn. Wishing them all the chaos and backstabbing they so rightly deserve. Any to anyone who voted for the demented criminal, the leopards are waiting for you.

A month out, and it's a shit show already.

Buckle up gonna get worse once the Orange Menace gets sworn in. Why oh why can't we find a way to BLOCK him from taking office???

Precisely my thought.

If they actual did their jobs, they wouldn’t be afraid of primaries.

Aka cowards

This is what every single Republican that campaigned for Trump deserves. You gave the party over to the billionaires to “own the libs”. They have been bought and sold and deserve e everything that is coming for them the next 4 years.

They might deserve this shitshow- but I sure as hell don't!

It's because they're cowards.

The 2nd covering for Trump because he couldn’t possibly know what the dastardly duo has been spouting for months.

🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to grow spines.

Enjoying the show.

All this time MAGA’s were worried about immigrants taking their jobs, meanwhile an immigrant has stolen Donald Trump’s job.

Even worse it's an illegal

I love that they were all besties just last month. Now look at them. In another couple of months they will all have turned on each other. That’s what happens when that many men with little weak egos, cause their mom never loved them, gets together.

President Musk threatened to primary them.

I call BS. But so here for the dysfunction party. America needs to see what they voted for loud and clear.

Wusspussies!!

Let them ALL fail. It is the only thing that will work right now.

Get use to it.

I could offer them advice, but I don't think they can reach the insertion point...

"Shooting from the hip" is a Minnesota nice way of putting "fuqing stupid"

Neither of those oligarchs were elected to anything. Ignore their wishes, keep your power.

Precisely.

Capitulation in 3, 2, 1....

‘This is a nothing burger. You really think people are gonna fall for this. The US just elected a convicted felon. What people who still value democracy should do is follow what’s going on in Canada. They’re getting hammered with misinformation up there.’

They’re full of 💩.

Cowards of the greatest degree.

Did NOT see this coming. At least not before the new year.

Republicans are the cowards of the century.

They are….but, if no one is speaking out our pushing back….🤷🏼‍♀️

I really need the "edit" feature🤦

Yeah these fucking cowards that hide behind anonymity.

Whatevs. May they go full on circular firing squad right out of the gate. Their goal is to destroy our lives, thieve all that’s left of what they haven’t already stolen, and use us as cannon fodder. Just desserts all around.

Popcorn-we need popcorn-Lot's of popcorn!! 🍿🧨

It’s just gonna be 4 years of people speaking out on background and then doing exactly what musk/ trump want

Trump will just sit back & let them do the dirty ! He knows he’s safe from prosecution now so will concentrate on corruptly adding to his already stolen fortune. America will now be governed by the extreme right wing, no one will speak up against them.

But they are fine with them wanting to take social security from elderly, disabled, etc. They do not get to clutch pearls. They are responsible for this.

Can the next Continuing Procastination (oops CR) include a clause to deny security clearances for people who have felony convictions or use drugs or have business interests with hostile governments regardless of their job function?

Jared Kushner has entered the chat

Yep

Why remain anonymous? Put your names to it pheasants

Pheasants as the bird or peasants as in low income person?

Pheasants as in useless hockey players

oh all their criticism will melt the second they get their Putin signed paychecks

Aww, bless their hearts!

If they all speak out together, what can Trump and his minions do. Fire them all. Wouldn’t be prudent.

They are crapping their pants over the idea of going on the record. Maybe enough will go on the record when it matters in a vote, but not holding my breath

They’re a pack of cowards

Elon will have them primaried

So? Be a man until then. Republicans respect actual power. They are elected officials. Elon isn’t. Like ffs.

Loosers

Gee who could have seen that coming??

If they don’t like Musk, the should just impeach him

Same story for yrs. The cowardly, chickenshit GOP pols do not have the moral courage to speak the truth in public because these cowards are afraid they might get primaried & g-d forbid they may lose their jobs. The cowards & pathetic traitors have no level of immorality they will not go beyond

Idiots. All of them.

Trump is an evil dictator. America and the world will suffer under fascist trump. But I am sure trump family and musk somehow will be richer in 4 years.

Maybe Santa will bring them spines for Christmas.

LOL They will fall in line. Republicans are spineless against Trump and Musk.

Let's see...

Hmmm. Gee, maybe they’ll grow a spine and work for the people who elected them. Not the billionaires who are directing them!

No no. The people who elected them knew full well they never intended to work for them. It was all about Trump, not the people, remember? R voters chose this. They saw the party being taken over and still voted for them. Now they need to come to terms with it.

For all the hysteria about Biden having dementia and being manipulated by shadowy figures, they have BLATANT evidence that Musk is using THEIR weak and confused, old rich white guy for his own personal gain. Here's hoping they figure it out and step up to save their man from the REAL "deep state"

A Coward’s Parade of sorts.

Trump voters are going to get what they deserve! I for 1, can’t wait. If y’all thought they were whiners before Y’all just wait 😂🤣😂!

Oh yes they are been saying they now will get what they voted for you will now see a lot of flipping out big time can’t wait 😂😂😂

Yet none of them will step up to them….so this means nothing

Get a damn spine, cowards!

This is what I don't understand. If the majority of Republicans stood and and said "ENOUGH!", this would be over.

🙄🤣 oh boy, these old politicians are going to learn really quickly how the rest of us feel sitting through never-ending ted talks by self absorbed tech-bros. in meetings where the speaker thinks they’re a rock star and everyone else feels like they’re in Traffic School.

Not too afraid.....they are too cowardly. Anything to please their cult leader.

House republicans seen here avoiding reporters.

💯😹😹😹

The GOP will bow down to Trump and do whatever he tells them to do. The next four years are going to be pure hell for the rest of us!

Fear is fascisms greatest weapon.

He is NOT the president yet!!

SAY IT LOUD!!!!

Time to tell them the truth. Trump is not going to be president. Not even in name only. Even though nobody voted for him, Muck intends to be the U.S. DICTATOR. And for him, this will just be the beginning. He's already working to uproot other countries. He intends to rule the world!

They’ll find their spine once their big donors start complaining

Remember all those books many of them wrote on masculinity, or the live broadcast podcasts on masculinity to attract young men to the GOP? It was reflection, real men don't allow themselves to be jerked around by a man who wears orange makeup & is afraid to let his hair mop get rained on. C'mon ppl!

They don't want to agree to their demands until they get paid first.

Hehehe

They learned nothing from giving an idiot power, & seem damn eager to do it again. No constitution, brainwashed public, & Muskrat tanks America… But ohh no not being primaried!

Your comment is spot on, meaningless lip service after the fact as always from these spineless cowards.

Scared Bitch£$ no balls.

Spineless cowards indeed.

Imagine voting on this the 24th - 25th or 26th? Nice way to spend a holiday.

Because they are feckless, spineless cowards bringing shame to themselves and this country. What happened to the Oath of Office?

Greed & cowardice…..

RusPublicans should vote in private. Since they have no spine they can at least vote their conscience in private.

bsky.app/profile/kush...

They’d rather not be primaried than speak the truth

If that is the case, what is the difference between the house and the for show parliaments in authoritarian countries? #brokendemocracy

They have been threatened with being “primaried” in 2026. With all the money floating around it’s a legitimate fear but I would have thought their moral Christian faith wouldn’t allow them to cave.

GOP is full of cowards and want to be’s

They still don't get it

I’m telling ya, you can’t have this group of power hungry egos mixed with cray cray all “working” together and expect anything less than total disaster & self-combustion. This administration is doomed.

The country is doomed

I’m going to keep the faith (against all odds).

I have faith that people have been easily manipulated into going against their best interests throughout history and now is no different - I was more hopeful until Covid hit and now this recent election have sealed my cynicism. I will still personally care for others and do what I can but I realize

Those of us who do that are in the minority. My only hope is there are enough of us left after the coming civil war to rebuild something better

Biden should cancel all MuskRAT's government contracts and throw his business into chaos!

You think

Here's why; The FBI under Trump got the contents of Jeffrey Epstein's safe. Does anyone doubt that Roy Cohn's best student wouldn't use this to blackmail his way back into the White House? www.yahoo.com/gma/fbi-agen...

Almost like this is intended to make people think the R's are having a problem with them when in truth they probably don't as the republican party is now just maga.

Cowards all.

This column could’ve been written four years ago yet here we are, wash and repeat.

When they can't grow a damn spine... They don't have the right to complain

Without spines, mute aholes are useless.

If we all received a nickel every time a republican was afraid to speak out publicly, we wouldn’t need our earned #SocialSecurity funds that musk is attempting to steal.

MAGA is eating itself

It was only a matter of time

They are just her type pf ppl...Fox News actors lie, bullshit and then lie again only for Fox...then they can file a sex abuse lawsuit and get $30-50 million..fake little twerps ....

Sniveling cowards...not a set of balls or backbone amongst them 👀

Somethings going on! That is not like Trump! He never ever shares the spotlight and is certainly not in the shadow of someone taking control or power.

Elon has admitted to having been in contact with Putin many times. My guess is that Putin shared whatever dirt he has on Trump, with Musk.

I think the whole thing was a change in plan!

Cowards.

Gosh let’s hope they grow a spine and not think in lock step. Never saw a bunch of cowards bend a knee to the orange one so fearfully.

Aw are the republicans having trouble governing?!

"I'll have nothing to do with them ... until I am happily shaking Elon's hand at the White House and posing for a photo after we cut Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare and pass another huge tax cut for the 1%."

Sounds a lot like Russia 😡

y would i care....they're the ones that vote. not the assholes they're talking to

Yet they voted for this. Yet they will do nothing!!! They’ll continue to bend the knee and obey their cult leader even when the unelected President Elmo is calling the shots.

Republicans are snowflakes

There's nothing worse for any organization than to do the work required, then have someone that has been sitting on the sidelines destroy your work in 5 minutes. Musk, Trump, and Ramaswamy are experts at this.

I just want you to take a moment and look at this photo. I want you to see the fawning, the obsequious servility, the ingratiating yet self promoting narcissism of this poisonous toad and I want you to know what wickedness truly looks like so you will never mistake it again

🍿

Fcking cowards all of them.

That’s the problem They’re too afraid of being “primaried” — so they each become the cowardly lion It’s one of the reasons we’re in the mess we’re in

They are all fuckin cowards. There is one backbone in the entire Republican Party and it’s never their turn with it. Wormy little fucks.

You know every last one of those cowards will do as they’re instructed.

They’re cowards. Sadly, it’s that simple.
