I’m confused by the outrage🤷🏾‍♂️ This is John Cornyn ‼️ John Effin Cornyn ‼️‼️ What did he ever do in his career in public office that would make anyone think he would be PRINCIPLED ❓ He’s not going to rock the boat and forego or compromise his post senate paychecks. Helloooo🤦🏽‍♂️

So let the pedophile criminal roam freely, while looting and continue to commit crimes.... NOTHING....!!?? Perhaps you resign NOW!!!

He's 74 years old. He's already given in and given up when it comes to his Senate seat. Trump has taken shots at him on Douche Social just about every day since he expressed opposition to nominating Blanche. He's a senior citizen who doesn't want to be taunted & threatened for the rest of his days.

If it were tied the nomination would have died in committee. Only one of these spineless fuckers would have had to act like a vertebrate to stop Trump’s criminal defense lawyer from becoming out nation’s top cop.

Vote for corruption, get corruption. The reason that #TraitorTrump is getting away with things is because shit people like him & the #GOPCriminals in majority do Nothing to stop him. You're all #NotFitForPublicOffice

The R senators had the opportunity to force him out of office everyday since January 2021 for crimes against this country. Actual, provable, litigable crimes.

There's nothing we can do. You're a coequal branch of government. You can impeach and remove a president. Reining him in should be easy by comparison. Republican run Congress isn't powerless. It's spineless.

spineless cowards their "tough man" idea, was just that, an idea. they cosplay and pretend then cry and shrink away when they actually need to step up.

Nothing. Just harder to beat in an election. The Termite will now be in line for some good wingnut welfare, but he will still likely get investigated by the Blanche DOJ for his disobedience.

Thanks... my coworkers are now absolutely positive I've lost my ever-lovin' mind I haven't laughed out loud like that in... well, it's def been awhile

READ THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION CORNYN. OMFG, YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE FIRST BRANCH OF CO-EQUALS. REINING IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS YOUR JOB

AAG Todd 'castrated' Blanche & his doctor wife support child rape.The other citizens of the US of Shitholes don't care.Cornyn:"There's nothing we could do to rein in the (child rapist)president."

When the framers said "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." Do you think they meant vote or talk about it? ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ

Exactly. He wants to maintain a friendly relationship with the other MAGAGOP Senators, so that when he walks in with the legislation his new bosses wrote for him, he will still have friends to help push it through.

That is literally one of the primary reasons the Senate was invented: to stop the President from becoming a tyrant like King George III.

George III was nothing like the tyrant Trump is. Could he levy taxes himself? No. Could he intern civilians on his own initiative? No. Could he act independently of parliament? Only at the margins. Could he declare war, or end it? In theory; in reality, his ministers did it on their judgement.

“Advice and consent” by the Senate was supposed to prevent the President from assembling a group of losers that would ignore the laws and instead execute the President’s wishes. “Judge and jury” in the Senate trial following impeachment would remove a would-be tyrant from power. Federalist #66.

Also Cornyn, “so, we advanced a criminal being reviewed by the bar for fraud on the court to America’s Top Cop!” Happy 250th America. Don’t drown in your exceptionalism

Nothing…couldn’t think of anything…nothing at all…not one thing…not one little itsy bitsy…teeny weeny…thingy dingy…? Worthless… Whale shit is worth more than GOP Senators…

When felon president’s party control both chambers of Congress - this is the type of responses we’re going to get from them. Republican Party is so corrupt, it is sickening!

Question-if there’s nothing you could do as a senator in the majority party, why do we need you? We’re paying a salary to an employee who by his own admission can do nothing.

The Senate exists to act as a check-and-balance to rein in the president. It's in the job description. What Cornyn is saying is that Congressional Republicans are all part of the MAGA Cult and they're willingly sabotaging American democracy so they can worship Trump as their Messiah.

I was told the idea of Republican masculinity was strength based in faith yet these men in Congress continually allow Trump the sinner to usurp all their power and emasculate them. 🧐 Weird.

Republicans looks weak because Republicans ARE weak. Things Republicans are scared of: books, laws, women, LGBTQIA+, non-white people, science, facts, journalists, renewable energy, clean air, clean water, voting...

Republicans have always given lip service to faith while cheating on their wives and getting abortions for their mistresses. It’s always been lies to screw poor people. That’s their brand. Fucking poor people.

Patriarchy is a submission-knk hierarchy cult that invented capitalism and religion to consolidate wealth and power (& steal the miracle of life from women to give to an invisible man). It all needs unpaid labor of women. Children are used to control- childless independent women are a threat.

Racism allows for further consolidation of wealth/power (keeping the "lower" classes fighting with each other over positions in the hierarchy), and a guaranteed "lower" class to make those "higher" want to defend/maintain the structure. The whole foundation built on the *desires* of rich old men.
