I've never seen such spineless, dickless people in my life.
They do not deserve to be called Americans.
Excusing the inexcusable;
Defending the indefensible;
Whitewashing, whispering, ignoring, enabling...
Turning a blind eye to incompetence to further an un American agenda to benefit only millionaires and billionaires.
Rec this thread if you agree that every one of them, without exception, is chickenshit.

(49,047 posts)They are calculating to derive what point they will have extracted the max out of tRump at the least cost to themselves and then they will switch to impeachment. When they do, it will be rather sudden and seem like a tsunami.
Well, some, many are cowards; the kind who would send troops into danger so that they can enjoy guzzling gas for a few more years.

(23,166 posts)They are going to get their rich first, fuck everyone else agenda through, regardless if Putin is pulling the strings. They don't care about our country or us, it's all 1% all the time and steal the money and life from everyone else to give to the oligarchs. That is the only thing they care about.

other than that, tho, right on.

barbtries
(28,813 posts)but also soulless greedy fucks and haters. they hate Obama maybe the most, but they hate women, minorities, poor people, liberals, LGBT, etc.
they hate compassion and empathy and embrace greed and war. they are dishonest and don't think it heralds a defect in their personalities.
i hate them.

(146,338 posts)Are you sure you want to use that word? I'm sorry, but more than half of the population of the United States is literally "dickless."
I think you might want to choose your words more carefully in the future.
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,047 posts)Associating courage with genitalia and hormones, particularly male genitalia and male hormones, is ridiculous and anti-progressive.
Courage is a quality of the mind.
MineralMan
(146,338 posts)especially when it assumes that only men are qualified for anything. Very frustrating to see such words as "dickless" used like that.
superpatriotman
(6,253 posts)Ineffective and worthless.
MineralMan
(146,338 posts)to be, you know, manly-like. It's misogynistic from the get-go. You may not think you're biased, but your language betrays you.
Using words like "dickless" simply eliminates all women from consideration as strong leaders.
As I said, you may want to consider your words more carefully in the future.

dawnie51
(959 posts)that 90 per cent of repubs are in the basket with 45; the Russians have the goods on them too. This hack job goes way back, and I imagine there is plenty of juicy crap on most of them; mistresses, kink, malfeasance, and most of all, knowingly receiving dirty money within their campaigns. Why else would seemingly sane people ride this flaming dumpster to utter ruin, unless they know that utter ruin is already in their faces?

They are diseased.
benpollard
(199 posts)They only care about money and power.
Republicans control all three branches of government, so as bad as they are, they're doing what works for them. If they tried to get elected based on their governing abilities, no one would vote for them.

Saviolo
(3,283 posts)They are not turning a blind eye. They are hoping that Trump goes further and further. They are watching with glee. They know Trump's going away sooner rather than later, and the further into the hinterlands he goes, the more room his replacement will have to move.
When President Pence institutes blasphemy laws and sends gays to "re-education" camps, he will seem positively presidential compared to that wacky orange dude. Make no mistake, they're not turning a blind eye, they're just not getting in his way.
catbyte
(34,485 posts)Their lack of criticism goes way beyond them being scared that Benedict Donald will start mean tweeting them; I think they are actually okay with his cozy relationship with the Kremlin because they want to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian dictatorship. They see the writing on the (never-to-be-built) wall--demographics is turning against them so they have to concentrate power where and when they can. Soon demographics will overtake them and we will truly become a multi-racial democracy which is the Republicans' worst fear. They know they have no ideas. They know that they are utter incapable of governing in that multi-racial democracy, so they must suppress voting, they must attempt to discriminate as much as they can. They must keep the bigots riled up and resentful, placing the blame for their shitty lives on "all those brown people" instead of where it belongs--on the 1%.
Their valuing party over country began with Reagan, gathered steam with Gingrich, and has reached its apex now. If we can't stop them in 2018, we will be lost for at least a generation, perhaps longer--if we survive this Republican horror show.

That should make a properly messaged case against them even stronger.
Bettie
(16,132 posts)"patriotic" or "christian".
They have proven that they are neither.
They are craven, money-grubbing, self-serving assholes.
Not a one of them has any actual values beyond the pursuit of money for themselves.
NoMoreRepugs

SpankMe
(2,970 posts)Every Republican behavior the OP listed was at one time harshly criticized BY Republicans when they (incorrectly) perceived Dems as being guilty of those things.
There is something very wrong with conservative thought patterns. (I just realized I used the words "conservative" and "thought" in the same sentence! My bad!)
Cons are not capable of following logic or properly using facts to back up their agenda. It's all just forcing others to live by their depraved code.

DFW
(54,448 posts)Look at the military actions they instigate. Republicans attack "enemies" they think won't or can't shoot back.
Reagan attacked the Caribbean island of Grenada, which, aside from a few beaches and a few coconuts is known for nothing else because there IS nothing else there.
Bush Sr. attacked Panama, another of those powerful enemies that posed a real threat to the wheat fields of Nebraska.
Bush, Jr. invaded Iraq (OK, THAT one was a miscalculation. Rummy THOUGHT they wouldn't shoot back. "Maybe six days, maybe six weeks. Certainly not six months." Oops).
It was only a matter of time before Trump declared war on San Marino and Andorra. "AMERICA FARCE!"
On the other hand, Obama decided NOT to invade Syria. Seeing as how that country is split up into a bunch of factions, all heavily armed, and all hating us, invading it would only get a few thousand of our people killed and improve exactly nothing. Sometimes, the gutsy thing to do is to NOT send in our forces.
superpatriotman
(6,253 posts)Sometimes strength involves restraint.
Bush Jr. only went into Iraq because Poppy marched through the country in days after the Kuwait invasion.

(2,872 posts)drmeow
(5,028 posts)It is that they are loyal to one thing and one thing only - money. Their money, the money of the people who give them money, wall street money, and corporate money. As long as they think they can wring more money out of the American people with Trump in the White House and as long as Trump's actions don't hurt their access to money, they do not actually care what he does nor do they care about this country. They are not cowards, they are flat out traitors.

(5,210 posts)It's greed. And avarice. And selfishness.
THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to them above all else is their own self-interests, which trend toward the avaricious.
Okay, gallop toward the avaricious.

There seems to be no end to the insanity they will accept in order to push the right's agenda down the majority's (us) throat.
