The Senate had acquitted President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial the day before, and he held an hour-long “victory celebration” in the East Room of the White House.With Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Mike Lee among the dozens of GOP lawmakers in attendance, Trump made sure everyone knew how he felt about the Russia investigation, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, his impeachment, and all the accusations against him. “It was all bullshit,” Trump said. “It was hell.
On top of that, a new scandal has emerged over alleged Russian bounties paid to the Taliban to kill U.S. soldiers. The New York Times and Associated Press reported that Trump was aware of the allegations for months but took no action, forcing Republicans to respond to yet another Trump-related uproar.
Even when Senate Republicans finally get some good news, such as preparing to pass the annual defense authorization bill as they prepare to leave town for the July 4 holiday, Trump threatened to veto the legislation because he’s upset it would allow the renaming of military bases that honor Confederate generals. McConnell and GOP leaders had already backed the proposal, but Trump — focusing on his own reelection strategy first— wants nothing to do with it.
“With all due respect, it seems like the Democrats and the mainstream media are determined to do everything they can to defeat the president, and occasionally he undermines himself by some of the things he does and says,” said GOP Sen. John Cornyn, who is up for reelection in a suddenly competitive Texas.To be fair, Trump isn’t the cause of all Senate Republicans’ problems, although the president is always the center of attention. All roads lead to Trump, and he hovers over every Senate race.
No breaks? Republikans have controlled U.S. state & local govts/courts for decades, Congress the last quarter of a century, & SCOTUS for most of my adult life. If they wld help Americans as much as they help themselves to America's treasure the dream wld still be alive for all.
They are DREAMING.
They chose to give up their political careers for trump.
It’s to late we are tired of their corruption and bending the rules for this criminal in the White House and in the Justice Department
The GOP is going to jack this coming election like no election has ever been jacked before. There will be so many irregularities, that we may never know who really won. They already showed their cards in the primaries, make people wait in line for hours in the middle of winter!
AnitaThom57 This headline annoys me. Republicans can’t catch a break? How about Republicans won’t lift a finger to help Americans?
The Republican deserve to loose every seat in the entire government, state and federal.
Good! They cheat as often as they draw breath. It would be nice if their foul attempts fell short of their goal, for once. It doesn’t happen very often. Sadly, though, power corrupts everyone. When you get it, you’ll do anything to keep it
“Senate Republicans Can’t Catch A Break”?! Are you kidding me with that headline? Where’s the responsibility for their actions? You reap what you sow!
REPUBLICAN SENATORS LED BY 'MOSCOW MITCH' TAKE OUT A PROVISION IN 'INTEL BILL' THAT WOULD'VE REQUIRED CAMPAIGNS LIKE TRUMP'S TO REPORT FOREIGN ELECTION ASSISTANCE! REPUBLICAN SENATORS GLADLY ENABLE TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN TO COVER UP RUSSIAN CONTRIBUTIONS!
Screw the turtle MoscowMitchMcConnell and the coward Senate Republicans who put Trump over country.
A senate of jerks
Can’t catch a break? They did it to themselves. Excuse me while I have no fucks to give. All of them can go home.
The audacity of this piece's title.
Catch a break? Good god, they made this!
It is time for you realDonaldTrump to go. Enough of this foolishness and clown show. You are not competent to be president. Nixon realized and was told by his party that it was time to leave. Your moment has come. Just quit. yougottago now!
Time to drone someone again I guess?
Moscow Mitch and his gang are going down. Doesn't matter if they all jump ship now or not. It's too late--they made their bed and they will die in it. CrushtheGOP
Like that’s a bad thing?
They don't deserve a break.
😂😂😂 corrupt media lying their azz off
They don’t deserve one! Maybe some jail time
Same handicappers that said Hillary had a 92% chance of winning.
GOP does not deserve a break. They put party above country.
I am looking so forward to MoscowMitch going bye-bye.
all they have to do is give people cash
They most likely will cheat their way to victory.
senatemajldr and realDonaldTrump are discussing giving citizens another round of stimulus. Much bigger than the first round. They see the poll numbers. Thye know they are up against it in November, so they will give $$$ to try and get votes
Part of me really wants moscow mitch to lose his reelection bid but then another part hopes he returns so he can be the leader of the minority
Vote then out of office. They let Trump run wild. VoteTrumpOut2020 TrumpTheTraitor GOPisComplicit
Actually this is fake news.
Better them than us!
🤞🏻
They deserve every bit if it and more
Who cares. They haven't been public servants for years. They've served their own self-interest and that's about it.
The house did nothing for two years. We lost that to Nancy. The senate did little better (some credit for judges). None the less nothing major or popular. Now looks like too many RINO’s. I hate to vote for them. Buts Dems. far worse.
Good 🖕🏻
That is because they are a Trump kiss asses and useless politicians.
The young can do this.
They’ve done it to themselves by becoming more & more conservative, pushing the theory of ‘trickle down’ economics & lowering corporate & wealthy taxes, trying to eradicate the seperation of church and state!! And enabling trump even if they thought they could use him!
Vote this guy out?
They bring it all on themselves by supporting realDonaldTrump the TreasonTrump
If Senate Republicans could be facing real problems in November........then rightfully so. If your President means more to you than your country and citizens then you deserve every problem that you get.
Citizens the Current GOP Party members all need to be voted out. They have put their party & personal interest over our country. We need representation that cares about itscitizens,our constitution,&our country first. Make your voices and votes count in Novembervote them all out
Then I hope nothing changes.
Why does McConnell always look like someone caught in the headlights who's been up to no good!? 🙄🤔
Keep standing by your man GOP........ you can all hangout at Mar a Lago and tell racist stories when it’s all over..... Trump won’t be giving you discounts on the rooms though..... Buffet, Conga Lines....... good times
Good
Mitch McConnell’s racist ideology, policies and practices of inequity for people of color and their sympathizers, which he has achieved by positioning biased Federal Judges as Guardians to maintain, restrain and chain with invisible “shackles” will not go unanswered.
“Catch a break”? How about, “Republicans’ cruelty and incompetence leading to a likely trouncing in November”.
Extend the $600 unemployment
NadelParis They’ve done it to themselves. They’re loyal to Trump. It’s Trump or Americanand they’ve chosen Trump.
Awe, things not going your way Sad face. How U allowed trump to sell UR soul for the cause is beyond me. Whatever GOOD U might have done for the ppl in UR WHOLE CAREER will FOREVER be overshadowed by what U LET trump GET AWAY WITH. BC it met UR AGENDA, U SOLD UR VOTERS OUT!
We sure hope so. It’s been a long time coming
'Can't catch a break'. Oh well poor fucking them.
Senate Republicans backed a criminal madman who is in the White House. They are in deep shit because of it. All of the crap he has done will be part of this election.
What in the absolute hell are you talking about
McConnell just cannot figure out what went wrong.
I believe the Dem party and it's supporters are going to have a rude awakening on Nov 3rd. Although Trump's demeanor needs work, Dem liberal policies are off the wall. Fellow independent voters will pull the appropriate lever.
Catch a break? Give me a break. They have done a horrible job of serving their country and constituents. They deserve to lose in November.
Yeah, well SenateGOP SHOULDN’T catch a break
Good luck. They will never change. 'When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.' - Maya Angelou
They brought this upon themselves. Too bad.
Good
And they've asked for every loss that they face. They've done bad all by themselves and now it's time to pay the piper.
Republicans? change? hahahahahahahahaha
They deserve worse than just losing!
It's already way too late There is no hope for trumpublican GOP Blue Tsunami 2020
We don’t give a damn about Republicans.... they deserve no consideration!!
VOTE THIS GUY OUT. HE HAS HURT AMERICANS EVERYDAY HE IS ON THE JOB. TODAY HE IS SHOWING HOW GREAT IT IS TO WEAR A MASK. WHY DO WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO MIXED MESSAGES FROM THESE JERKS. HOW MANY HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES TO THE BAD INFO THEY HAVE GIVEN.
They deserve those problems. They created, coddled, enabled and continue to make excuses for “those problems” for over 3 years. Kids that can’t go to school, soldiers dying for bounties, trumps cult begging to get sick. Let them reap what they sow sociopaths
Eventually the bill comes due
bye bye CorruptGOP
They reap what they sow
They don’t deserve a break. This is all on them.
They have created real problems for our country. They deserve payback.
Then gtfo
Thankfully for them, it's in the Conservatives' nature to embrace change.
They have to shed their conservatism more.
HA HA HA...nice pic.
Thanks for your concern.
Im Ok with them losing. 🇺🇸
How often will lib editors publish this same idiocy?
As they should.
Thoughts and prayers.
Will be.
