1. Balls?

2. They think they weren't targets.

Especially people like Cruz and Hawley.

I think that's a very dangerous attitude. I think had the mob turned fatally violent in the Capitol, anyone in reach was a target.

10. Did you see the video of the insurgents rifling thru Cruz's papers

while griping, "He's selling us out!" before someone corrected them, finally pointing out Cruz was on THEIR side!

Such mad idiocy could easily have led to tRumpist senators' deaths.

13. And "Cruz would want us to do this"

That was the same conversation, as I recall. The "sell out" guy didn't understand that objecting to the AZ counts was what he should want them to do - that's what was corrected. Some of these guys weren't the brightest bulbs.

3. Because they dont believe the Mob was there for their heads.

They came for the Dems and I wasn’t a dem so I didn’t stand up.

They came for the independents and I wasn’t an independent so I didn’t stand up.

The came for the moderate republicans and I wasn’t a moderate republican so I didn’t stand up.

When they got around to coming for me, there was nobody let to stand up.

Make no mistake, trump will at some point direct the mob at every one of the 43 because nobody has enough lick to keep his boots clean.

4. Like Cluster's last stand.

This was Trump's finest moment. Selling out every one of the rubes today, but living to skin them tomorrow.

5. Excellent piece by Milbank

6. Brutal headline. They deserve it.

7. The 'resident left them to die.

43 senators applauded his effort. Me thinks they are sad it failed. Take out a few of their own? Shrug, collateral damage.

[Cha]

8. They wouldn't care if they

were there for their Fascist Fuckheads.

9. True

11. Trump Succeeded in Getting Many Non-Partisan People with Large Platforms to Choose a Side

Larry Sabato is a good example of someone who took a public stance against Trump and the GOP. These people have influential voices with the public and it's good to have them engaged in the fight.

12. A better word, eh? Is asscrack one word? nt
