Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) acknowledged the ways in which her opposition to former President Trump during his tenure in office could impact the 2022 Alaska midterms.
During an interview that aired Friday with Alaska Landmine Radio, Murkowski, a GOP moderate said that former President Trump has threatened to do a lot to his detractors, even those in his own party.
The veteran senator has served in the upper chamber since 2002, but during Friday's interview would not confirm whether or not she would run for reelection in 2022. Radio host Jeff Landfield said that the race for her seat in the Senate would be closely watched.
It will be. I think one of the things that I've learned is that none of the races that I've been part of have ever really been easy or ordinary is will probably prove to be much, much along those lines, Murkowski said. I know that former President Trump is skeptical about me, and the job that I do for Alaska, but I really think that that's for Alaskans to judge.

Another thing, I think there is a lot more to the Marie Yavonovich situation, they wanted her out immediately because her life was at risk.

(17,992 posts)Lost most of the races he backed. The 2 biggies were in Georgia.
His mob tactics do not work with normal people. Trump even lost his own.
That is why many Republicans are going against him and Mitch.

(12,452 posts)My sense is he is bold and obnoxious because he has the "brother's bond" thing with Putin.....tRumps chaos is a valuable tool to Putin....My guess is...tRump is serving Putin's mission knowingly yet so very willing because he gains his own power and attention....
Bottom line...tRump does what he dose because he has Putin's support. That is my sense of his behavior.

(24,720 posts)in fact you could have had removed him from his position twice.....but what did you do....you put fucking over the country more important and having your fucking racists authoritarian fascists' party in power as being more important than country and that in fact led to the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection....
And lets not forget you sided with this asshole on every fucking federalist society judge that came before the court, in fact to show how much of a fucking hypocrite you are, you allowed without not saying a peep, to have your former majority leader place not one asshole on the bench in violation without advise and consent being used as a rule of law, nope you sided with that traitor to the Constitution, not not even bring it up for a vote, but you voted to put two /three other non qualified "judges" on the bench and more at the federal level that should not be allowed to be judge's at a Ceratopogonidae contest or what is commonly referred to as a no-see-um flea contest.....because in your head you were a no-see-um and just voted to retain power and to basically fuck over every citizen in this country to put no-see-um's on the bench, so spare us your BS your a turncoat to this republic.......

(111,367 posts)but they needn't worry, the good fundagelicals who put them into office will forgive anything as long as they campaign in favor of female slavery. I think they're all afraid of what he might have, not of what he does have.
In addition, they're terrified of his unhinged mob. After all, they did see them in action once already.
Personally, I think they have nothing to fear but fear, itself, the fundagelicals will ignore their sins and I don't think the Qbot firecracker will explode twice, legal proceedings have dampened it a bit. I hope that some of the smarter ones figure this out.

If he has threatened anything criminal, well, there are laws about that, you know.
