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🤦🏽‍♂️

I listened to Lawrence O’Donell last night. He laid out the theory that these senators have lifetime Senate floor privileges that could be at stake if they vote no on Todd B. The Republicans in the Senate could vote to revoke them impacting their ability to lobby in the future.

Yeah, I thought the same—because as a lame duck senator who should now feel completely unshackled from the sycophantic Republican machine, nothing else does.

The principle of the thing is, do what's right. Not what may hurt your future perks. Live your life with such integrity that they wouldn't dream of revoking your privileges.

Indeed! That would of course be the ideal situation and is what one would expect from normal people. Unfortunately, none of the congressional Republicans seem to live such a life. As we’ve seen over & over again, they have no integrity.

Fuck me, this is so goddamn infuriating. Literally one of the main jobs of the Congress is to keep him in check. You know, power of the purse, advise and consent, investigative oversight and oh ya, impeachment. god fucking damnit

Corny, should be ashamed of himself. How does he put his head to pillow to sleep. Does any republican have a conscience? What do they tell their kids and grandkids? Their names will be in history books and in computer land forever.

This guy was never going to vote no. Cornyn, Cruz, in fact all Republicans in Congress today have sold their souls for the least American president in history. Certainly the worst.

Read Cornyn's comment and then read it again so it registers. A Republican senator saying the quiet part out loud. He and his party could easily rein in Trump. Their refusal says more about them than it does the crime boss in the Oval Office.

There are no words that describe the absolute failure of Trump & the Republican Congress towards the American People, the rule of law & the Constitution. It was intentional & complicit in support of authoritarian corruption & incompetence. Consequences are coming & it needs to be strict & swift.

Yes he and Tillis could've done the right thing and voted no. Every one of them could have. Coryn and Tillis justified it saying Biden did some bad things. It wouldn't be fair if Trump wasn't allowed to also do some bad things, so I'm voting for Blanche because of Biden.

He needed to lose his d*mn seat! That’s total 🐂💩that there’s nothing they could do to reign in 47! As stated, you simply vote no! Perhaps he’s trying to ensure that he gets a lobbyist position!

Sarah Longwell of the Bulwark is correct in her assessment of Cornyn. He displayed cowardly sycophantic behavior toward Trump during his primary run, so why did anyone expect him to act like a regular person with some spine? I would have voted NO on anything Trump wants if he costs me a job.

Actually he gave a nice boost to Talarico, I bet -- that's something to rein in trump. And then named his staff members who were instrumental in making this happen. What a good boss looking out for the staffers.l

Subtext was the coup is past inevitable and when Donnie is crowned those who knew the plot and turned on him will spend their last days incarcerated in for profit prisons.

Lawrence O'Donnell said last night the two Senators knuckled under so they could maintain their lobbying businesses when they "retire" after this term. So they sold us all out just so they could make some dough later. That's all our elected reps do anymore on both sides I'm afraid. We are secondary

Why would those little voices in my head keep saying something about monkeys (flying or otherwise) and an organ grinder? Nothing? Does he represent the people who purportedly elect him or does his behavior say there’s another tune playing in his head? Let the reader determine that for themselves

Are you impotent and unwilling to do the correct thing for America? Are you a Republican with no balls? You may be suffering from Correctile Dysfunction. Now there’s Tryagra—an amazing cure against doing nothing for your country. Just try to do the right thing. Try Tryagra.

This man alone is a Texas bitch of a senator and looks like a none careing bitch of a politician that Texas nor any other state does not need in the Senate and no better then evil ex Mitch McConnell aka Mr filibuster during the Obama years etc

Bullshit Cornyn. Every elected republican is responsible to represent their constituents. Republicans have failed miserably. Elected republicans have chosen to represent the Epstein class and no one else. Taxed with no representation. Our tax dollars go to Epstein Class, foreign genocides, & war

Why is he even fucking there? Doesn’t he know it’s Congress’s fucking job to rein in the president? That’s what congressional oversight or veto override is for. That’s what impeachment is for. For god’s sake, man, read the fucking Constitution! It’s all right there in Article One.

He's an enabling eunuch to the High Sultan Trump. Many like him, they all passed on their chance to stand for the constitution, and to be the somebody they used to think of themselves as someday becoming. Sell it to someone else, John.

Trump has done 1000 things worse than Nixon did during Watergate, but the big difference is, the party Nixon belonged to was more loyal to the Constitution than they were to their party.

There’s something WE can do. Put ALL your asses on trial for lying under oath (the oath you all recited to uphold the Constitution against ALL enemies) AND to try you ALL for TREASON. (Which is working in congress with the Administration & SCOTUS to destroy democracy)
