What the fuck is wrong with Congress?

[milestogo]

We have an out of control President and they are doing NOTHING to reign him in.

Its like the teenagers have taken over the residence with a drunken party and the adults won't be home till its burned to the ground.

[SocialDemocrat61]

1. It's run by republicans

Simple enough to understand

[usaf-vet]

25. It's run by F...ing cowards, just like "general bone spurs. Or if they prefer, "dJohnTACOalso a coward.

[ShazzieB]

39. They are F...ing cowards, all right.

F...ing coward Republicans, who all seem to be scared to death of him, presumably for both political reasons and fears about the safety of themselves and their families. Democrats are too outnumbered in the House to even get an impeachment underway, especially with Milquetoast Mike Johnson in the speaker's chair.

[harumph]

3. I don't think he ran on completely ignoring the courts...

Some principles should move even R's, but sadly they're a bit short in that category.

[dickthegrouch]

6. They don't know about it!

M$M, "Truth" Social, and Faux noise aren't telling them anything about any of it. At least not in terms we would recognise as being the truth.

Until we can get the actual facts out to the ignorant masses, we are on a hiding to nothing.

[Karasu]

19. Their ONLY principle is maintaining power. They know full well what's going on, but actively choose to do nothing.

[imanamerican63]

32. You don't remember "I am the law"?

He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do, “courts can’t stop me”!

[whopis01]

42. You don't think the 35 times convicted felon ran on ignoring the courts? n/t

[berkerly6240]

35. Hes doin exactly what he said he'd do a many idiots voted for it...

and are excited as hell. I dont understand people on this boards delusion or maybe they dont get out of their bubble.

This damn country will never be progressive...globally speaking our populace is more like Russia than Canada. I'm out.. just need to find the right country.

[Irish_Dem]

4. GOP congress agrees with Trump.

They are part of the Trump Crime Syndicate.
They accept bribes from our enemies, help stealing elections, etc.
The agree with all of Trump's goals.

[ShazzieB]

40. Some of them undoubtedly agree with him.

But I also think quite a few of them don't like everything he's doing but are too scared of him to take a stand. Either way, they suck.

[sakabatou]

5. The GOP is the majority, and they don't care what TACO does

All they care about is staying in power.

[chowder66]

7. Not enough pressure is being put on Republicans.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Can't a Democrat get time to speak on the Floor and get some facts into the

Congressional Record?

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Do you watch CSPAN?

They do give speeches that all go into the Congressional Record but don't expect CNN or MSNBC to suddenly break into their broadcasts to devote time to showing most Democrats outside of the more "well known" ones and DU will complain that they are "talking to an empty chamber" (when they speak during "Special Orders" time in the House or "Morning Business" in the Senate).

Rep. Al Green has his own YouTube channel where he uploads his remarks. E.g., from Tuesday (6/10/25) -

[Andy823]

9. They took and oath

Ido solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

NO where in that oath does it say that they can ignore the oath and do what trump tells them to do! They are breaking their oath and should be held accountable for allowing this shit storm to take place.

[Pris]

15. They need to be removed - they are violating their oath

[Pris]

16. Good idea for June14 sign

GOP CONGRESS VIOLATES THEIR OATH

[elleng]

10. EVERYTHING!!!

[hay rick]

11. Cowardice beyond a certain point becomes treason. The Republicans are past that point.

[flashman13]

12. What Congress? I honestly can't remember when I last heard about them.

That's not true. Earlier I saw Moses Mickie J kissing the big, beautiful, orange butt. And so it goes.

[milestogo]

14. Yeah its like they are in session all the time but nothing ever gets done for the people of this country.

We have a whole branch of government that is completely and utterly useless.

Thanks. Republicans.

[Buddyzbuddy]

13. To answer your question, EVERYTHING.

It would be easier to list the things right about Congress.
Here is that list.

[zorbasd]

17. They are fascists

and complicit in the nazification of America..

[Blue Full Moon]

18. That's exactly their plan. Next new constitution.

They are failing.

[Wounded Bear]

20. Decades of republicans electing people to Congress who's real purpose is to tear it down...

and fuck it all up in the name of "small government" and bullshit "rights" not based on reality or fairness.

[NewLarry]

21. It's more like

the adults are out buying gasoline and matches.

[William769]

22. It's republican controlled. nt

[orangecrush]

23. Good analogy

[Wiz Imp]

24. It's not Congress. It's REPUBLICANS in Congress.

Generically complaining about "Congress" plays into the media obsession with both sidesism. ALL criticism of Congress must include that it is specifically Republicans in Congress that are the problem.

[Tootbsb]

26. They love the perks. We are seeing who they really serve.

Although far too many still don’t want to believe their lying eyes.

[gay texan]

27. "Strongly worded letter"

that'll fix it....

[johnnyfins]

28. And now we are hearing that Israel has informed the US that they are is fully

Ready to strike Iran. Timing is odd, considering all of the hardware in DC at the moment.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. In a word, REPUBLICANS

[Cinjanik]

30. Threats

Congress or, republicans I should say, are being blackmailed and threatened to tow the line. That and they're a bunch of fascist idiots.
Their way is the only way...
Until WE PROVE THEM WRONG!!!

[Warpy]

31. Mike Johnson

He's terrified of Fatso and h's making sure nothing that offends his Lard and Savior gets out of committee. Other Republicans are similarly terrified.

The terror might lessen a bit once they get through primary season and they're more terrified of the voters.

Just don't bet the rent on that. Johnson will make sure they're hamstrung.

[aggiesal]

33. Party over Country. A POC on our nation. n/t

[pfitz59]

34. $$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$'

[milestogo]

36. That's what they worship.

[dsharp88]

37. Trump is their meal ticket.

Fall in line or GTFO, they’re warned.

[barbtries]

38. republicans.

the same thing that's wrong with everything.

[GoodRaisin]

41. Not sure, but some Republicans are behaving as though they know they won't have to face

another election. Others, like Murkowski, appear frightened for their safety.

[Hotler]

43. The Epstein list. nt

[kennyperkins]

44. how is it normal

With what Trump is doing, I guess he didnjt wear a tan suit though.
