1. I think Wicker is one of those old-school Republicans

[GoreWon2000]

2. He stupidly voted for Hegseth

[Walleye]

3. Oh yes, there's pictures of him, shaking hands and praising Drunk Pete

But I’m wondering if he has completely lost his ability to be embarrassed, like most of this administration

[bucolic_frolic]

4. They'll just lie about the lying that was lying about the deception

Investigate? Are there any records remaining with a scrubber like Eloon on their team?

[writerJT]

5. Hold on.

Excerpt:

The Mississippi Republican also indicated he believes Hegseth and others involved should apologize.

“I make a lot of mistakes in my life, and I’ve found that it’s best when I just own up to them and say, ‘I’m human. I made a mistake,’ and I’m glad in this case, no real damage was done,” Wicker said. “I think that that’s probably going to be the approach of the administration right up to the president.”

It remains to be seen if he really does anything substantive.

[Justice matters.]

10. Lawless Fascists never admit making any mistake.

They'd rather destroy their country and seek the easy way out after.

[returnee]

22. No real damage done?

How does he know? More minimizing.

[central scrutinizer]

6. Has Susan Collins weighed in yet?

She must be concerned

[EarnestPutz]

7. I heard that if you call her office after hours that the phone message you hear expresses her concern.

[niyad]

9. I believe she is now "deeply troubled".

[Scrivener7]

17. Wow! That's progress!

[MontanaMama]

11. I read that she called in sick to the hearing

she was so concerned.

Her actual quote was that the texts were "extremely troubling". Whatever Susan.

[calimary]

13. "Concerned" my ass.

You’ve gotta do better than that, girlfriend.

[central scrutinizer]

20. A sternly worded letter is being drafted

that’ll teach ‘em

[malaise]

15. She was under her bed...no

under the weather as in absent. So concerned.

[ReRe]

19. "under her bed"

You tickle me to death, malaise.

[malaise]

21. Well she was hiding

😂😂.

[FakeNoose]

16. A direct quote from Jeff Tiedrich

"... even Susan Collins didn’t try to susancollins it.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, called the incident “inconceivable” and “an extremely troubling and serious matter.”

but Suze is pretty much standing alone. almost every other Republican spent all day yesterday vigorously explaining why the worst national security breach in American history was no biggie."

(Please pardon the coarse language, that's how Tiedrich normally writes.)

[Zorro]

8. The heads of our national security

are endangering our national security.

And Republicans are complicit if they fail to speak out and do something about it.

[live love laugh]

12. There's no "if" they are brazenly complicit.

[kirby]

14. I did not see them sworn in under oath...

[erronis]

18. Isn't the next step to go to church and be redeemed?

I'm sure there are some born-again con-artist preachers who will absolve the drunkard for a penance.
