Republicans fiddled while Trump burned the place down.

They don't seem to realize that they are the majority and, as the majority, they have certain responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to oversee the Executive Branch.

They cannot continue to act as if Donald Trump is some sort of alien that they have no control over. He is a Republican. He is the leader of their Party. They strategize with him when they need his signature on one of their crappy pieces of legislation. All other times, they pretend he doesn't exist.

They have a responsibility to help him fill the vacancies at the State Department and other departments of our government. They cannot say, "It's all on him." They are the majority. They have control of all the branches of our government.

Our country needs for the Republican Party to put down their fiddles and start doing their jobs. They need to face up to their responsibilities. The first thing they need to do is take the matches away from their President.

1. Republicans are putting party over country. It's clear they intend to keep the nutjob in power

long enough for him to sign every shitty piece of legislation they can get to his desk. Don will sign anything as long as he's guaranteed a ceremony with lights, cameras and hired clappers.

2. They will never go after him because they fear his base more than anything.

All 45 has to do is speak out against them and the Republicans will lose every primary election next year. The base is loyal to him, not to the Republicans in Congress.

3. True.

4. Oh how true it is the party of trump

and we must never let them forget that. He is theirs , repugs inability to act on him I had my repug reps office manager other week on phone to point that he was flustered. I was civil polite hit him with reasoning and he completely fell apart, to get me off he told me personally that he would have congressman barletta hear of my concerns. And yes frogs do fly I thought after I hung up.

5. They know, they don't care. They want to rape and pillage everything they can and he's just the

Dumb ass to sign whatever they tell him to. They're ALL traitorous evil assholes.

6. They don't care. As long as they benefit and come out protected, they don't care.

[Golden Raisin]

7. One could make a case that they are supplying the gas and matches.

8. Good point.

They are perfectly content to let Donald Trump take all the blame.
