I have seen only slight evidence of that yet. The entire GOP in Congress is still wrapped up in the victory. There are a few chinks in the armor starting to show but I think we are in for a fairly long row to hoe before we get there.
Yesterday Heather documented that Mike Turner (R.AL) and Roger Wicker (R. MS) complained about National Security. Lots more have called Trump a liar on Putin/Ukraine. I published the letter I got from Rick Scott. Thom Tillis. Murkowski. Many more.
They are still Republicans. The main issue is National Security. Jerry Weiss has identified a number fof candidates and we have 3 Cuban American MAGATs here who have recently discovered they are DEI and many of their donors and consituents are upset. We have more Canadians here that some Canadian provinces -- most with dual citizenship.
Hoefully behind the scenes there is discussion about shared government. Only takes 3 in the House. Hakim Jeffries can offer chairmanships of key committees to Republicans.
I think that could happen someday but not yet. Politics is all about timing and while this is a terrible time for us all, I think it is premature to expect a serious turnabout even in the House. Trump needs to do something REALLY egregious (as if what he had done so far isn't enough, but I think it isn't). If he seriously capitulates on Ukraine to Russia that might be enough (how could even "little" Marco go along with that?) That might be the turning point for the staunchest be line GOP, enough to retake the House maybe even the Senate
But so far Trump has been skating a fine line. Not totally giving in to Putin but keeping Zelenskyy on guard. What he isn't reckoning with is that NATO and Europe are getting tired of the Trump nonsense and may just dump the him.
You must not know many Republicans. Anything for power. A chairmanship is mighty appetising.
Little Marco is the automoton of Norman Braman. He is also funded by CANF -- and they are having an attitude adjustment. They discovered they are DEI and reject alliance as an ally of Cuban Communism.
One of our local House MAGATS was a Dem mayor until 2020. Was an HRC supporter in 2016.
I listed those who say they want to work with Democrats below.
Journalist Cathy Young writes on The Bulwark about Ukraine. Poll numbers say that 60% of Americans distrust Putin and support Ukraine, she reports. This is a great subject to keep in the spotlight. My representatives are all Republican, and at least two of the three have publicly supported Ukraine. I call and thank them. The third - I just ask him to support Ukraine.
A year ago I visited Charleston, SC, bastion of Republicanism. Throughout the old French Quarter, there were Ukraine flags flying outside of homes and commercial buildings. I think MAGAts need reminding that Russia is the enemy, not Ukraine.
Thom Tillis is my Senator, and I call him every day at 2 offices to thank him for his public support for Ukraine. I think good self-care is the first priority and calls to our representatives is the next.
The fastest and most efficient way to get rid of Musk is Feathers of Hope. Surely a few Congressional Republicands refuse to join the axis if evil.
I really like Bernie's and AOC's approach of going into chicken-shit Congresscritters districts and hold rallies against Trump and Elon.
The local TV station can't help but report on the rallies. I mean, what are they going to preempt another story on bird flu or tariff's?
When almost half the town shows up for any event........that is front page news!!!
ItтАЩs probably the only thing to do in a lot of these towns. The movie theater closed decades ago.
Everyone I know who owns a Tesla is selling them. All of the progressives bought them. Now driving a Tesla is like wearing a MAGA hat....
They need to read Feathers of Hope.

That might be the bridge too far.
And i truly detest the fact that sooo many lives are affected by this deranged old white man. And he doesnt give a shit about anyone but himself.
It is the whole right-wing not only trump!

Right-wing Congress people are most likely salivating at the thought of the power they can wield when they and trump achieve their totalitarian dream.
These right-wingers are too cowardly to preserve and protect the Constitution as they pledged to do when they took their oath to office.
Worse than cowards, they are traitors.

тАЬHope is a thing with feathers.тАЭ
Dream on!
There are no right-wing heroes.
Read the materials. Never up never in. We don't need them to become Deomocrats.
I'm also hoping that a few Congressional Republicans who are lawyers will stand for the rule of law.
Can you pass on a link Daniel ? Thanks...
