Both Parties recognize that Donald Trump is a national security threat...

[kentuck]

...but they don't know what to do about it?

The China trip embarrassment was the final nail.

After his unprovoked attack upon Iran, his war of choice, and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, there are no more questions about his fitness for office. He is a danger to America and the world.

Never mind his ridiculous lawsuits against the IRS and his destruction of the White House properties, it is the national security threat that should worry lawmakers the most.

They know what needs to be done. They just don't have the courage to do it.

1. The damage is already done.

He’s purged much of the CIA, FBI, CDC, you name it.
USAid is gone and can’t be brought back. That’s deadly devastating.
He’s physically destroyed 1/3 of the White House and the Rose Garden.
He’s destroyed us internationally and with it much of NATO’s strength.
And he and his family have made bank in a fully public display of pay for play corruption.

17. Agreed. And he gets away with every damn thing.

2. Unfortunately, only one party will protect the nation, that has been proven.

The country has lost all credibility; the rest of the world knows that. It's over.

3. The Silence of the Lambs

A predator will eat as much as it can, every time it can.

It’d be weird if the menu had a voice in the matter, said the predators.

4. Republican party join the Democratic party in ousting shithole........................

they have power, in my opionon it's the GQP that are allowing this travesty.

The problem tho with the Republicans, majority of their leaders are batshit crazy.

[kentuck]

5. How many sane Republicans are left?

I guess we should just close our eyes and wait until we hit the bottom?

7. You can open your eyes now. We're there.

[wnylib]

8. The GOP leaders are as morally bankrupt as Trump.

They tolerate him because they benefit financially from his actions.

And some of them, especially his appointed circle of enablers, are as batshit crazy as he is.

6. The Republican Party is a functionally traitorous organization.

The comforting stories they tell themselves are unrelated to reality. Republicans are enemies of American democracy and serve the interests of foreign powers that seek American decline.

[Fil1957]

9. Don't forget criminal. The Republican party is a de facto organized crime outfit.

[oldmanlynn]

10. Let's be clear it's not both parties

Seeing that you lead that both parties know he’s a national threat and they’re two chicken to do anything about it. That is not true. Democrats would do something about it and have tried to do something about it but they get blocked.

[kentuck]

13. Is the Democratic Party impotent...?

...or they just don't have any power, because they are in the minority?

[SpankMe]

11. I know what to do about it: impeach and remove. n/t

[Ol Janx Spirit]

12. I see nothing coming out of the Republican party to make me think they...

...actually believe that.

Quite the opposite.

America would be in a much better place right now if they did believe that.

There may be a very few Republicans that do see the threat clearly, but the vast majority of both R lawmakers and voters are cheering this on, and the soon-to-be trillionaires, corporate leaders, and media elites are encouraging it at every turn--getting fat off of the chaos that paralyzes our politics and ensures they get exactly the country that they pay for.

[kentuck]

14. It is so obvious....

How could they not see it? They see it and they know it but they don't want to or are too fearful to do anything about it. Whatever the case, they are not fit to serve in the Congress.

15. EPSTEIN FILES!!!

The attack on Iran and the destruction of our White House are distractions from the EPSTEIN FILES. I made the mistake of reading some of them and it gave me nightmares. There is some really, really disturbing shit in there and we haven't seen everything yet.

[kentuck]

16. They know he is a threat to our country...

Yet, they do nothing. What surprise do you think is waiting for his next trick?

[sagetea]

18. I think we need to recognize that those who do NOT stand up to him

not only lack courage, but it's probably because they fucked children too and their names are in the trumstein files. That's the only excuse I can imagine for giving our country away and destroying all of us. Their own sexual desires is more important to them then the country. Or maybe their guilt..or shame...? I do not believe they have enough empathy to feel guilt or shame though.
