Have you seen anything that makes you think they will do anything but carry water for him.

Yes. We can remind them that failure to help Trump decide to resign will result in their no longer being in the Congress. We can do that. Many of them are already concerned about that possibility.

and they aren't concerned about us.

I remain to be convinced that their voters will not come home to them, no matter what they do.

in their districts or states. We do have a voice. If we do not use that voice, our silence speaks for us.

I just have no faith that this GOP Congress will act in anyway against this President or for the benefit of anyone but their Corporate benefactors.

I gravely doubt we will see censure or impeachment. In fact all I see is them doubling down on their support of Trump and their combined agenda.

All they care about is getting and keeping power, even at the expense of the republic itself.

So they can duck responsibility for always putting party before country? Fuck 'em: Trump is an anchor and the malevolent Republican Party needs to drown.
