[MelissaB]

NEW via @Acosta
: Source close to WH said it's apparent GOP officials losing patience w/Trump's behavior as he baselessly claims fraud is robbing him of presidency. Trump "bleeding GOP support" said source, who likened Trump complaints to an "ambulance chasing routine"

1. Sure they are n/t

[riversedge]

5. Watch what they do, not what they say.

[sheshe2]

13. Rachael Maddow quote!

[Just_Vote_Dem]

14. Yep, and they sucked up to him for 4 years n/t

[jaxexpat]

26. "Could it be time for impeachment? ", the bastards ask each other secretly.

All of them knowing they won't get off so easily in 2022.

[soldierant]

70. Masha Gessen said (and says) the same.

[yardwork]

27. My thought exactly.

[Delmette2.0]

32. I will never trust a Republican ever again. n/t

[Windy City Charlie]

2. But

will any come out publicly and say it? or will they continue to hide from Trump and enable him?

[lindysalsagal]

3. They made this frankenstein. How dare they act surprised when it storms the village

Let's hear one of the grifters go public with a statement of concession. I'm holding my breath.

[es466]

56. LOL... that is a great description

[Chakaconcarne]

4. bastards can go piss up a rope....

[Beartracks]

6. Odd. He's never done anything to embarrass them before.

=========

[jayfish]

7. "Bleeding GOP Support"...

a day after the election. Perfect...

[Codeine]

8. Oh bullshit.

They’re never going to stop slobbering over him.

[Amaryllis]

42. They will once Biden is inaugurated.

[OrlandoDem2]

9. I couldn't care less unless they come forward publicly.

[still_one]

15. Exactly

[gratuitous]

30. Yeah

I'll believe it when they start talking directly to mics and cameras instead of hiding behind a reporter's shield.

[0rganism]

10. uh huh, right

the GOP is now Trump's death cult, if they're bleeding something it's unlikely to be support for their leader Orange Lame Duck (OLD)

[Danascot]

36. Lame Duck L'orange

[0rganism]

49. this lame duck thing is going to keep giving and giving

much as i fear it's potential for damage, i also anticipate much humor arising from the circumstances

[TruckFump]

11. Boo fucking hoo, Donnie

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Now they lose patience?

[empedocles]

16. Could be relevant for trump access to funding for his endless litigations.

[unblock]

17. just a wee bit late in the fucking game, gopassholes!

and yet completely predictable.

they stand by him until the minute the clock has run out and it appears he's a loser.

how completely self-serving.

[pfitz59]

18. GOP realists will drop Trump like a hot potato

He is of no further use. His "cult of personality" has served its purpose. They will be looking toward 2022.

[robertpaulsen]

19. I'm sure Susan Collins is "very concerned."

[hibbing]

29. I need an alert dial

Is very concerned yellow and losing patience is orange, or is it the other way around?

Peace

[jayfish]

50. ...

[hibbing]

52. That's some funny stuff, thanks!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. We must never let the GOP be rid of the shitstain of Trump and Tumpism.

NEVER............

[Midnight Writer]

21. Transactional relationships tend to end when the transaction is complete.

[mn9driver]

22. The GOP belongs to Trump, even now.

Unnamed GOPers tut-tutting about his behavior is nothing but a sideshow. They are, all of them, completely under his thumb. The GOP needs to be burned to the ground.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

23. McConnel & McCo. have gotten everything out of him that they're going to get.

Plus, they don't need his support with the voters anymore. If he tries something crazy during the lame duck session, they may just change their minds on impeachment.

[Captain Zero]

51. It might be easier to 25th him during lame duck.

Let Pence be a caretaker. Donnie can clean out his desk. Make sure he leaves the Sharpies.

[DFW]

24. Oh, so NOW they're losing patience?

How about 4 years ago? That was OK?

[ProfessorGAC]

25. When They Name Names, I'll Listen

Until then, I can't be bothered.

[DLCWIdem]

28. They don't care as long as they kept the senate.

[Raven123]

55. Exactly. Trump has outlived his usefulness to them

[relayerbob]

31. Whatever

Their concerns are duly noted.

[bluecollar2]

33. Republicans own Trump

The Democratic party let's them off the hook at their own peril...

Republicans got away with Reagan, Bush, DeLay, Armey, Shrub, Ryan, Gingrich, Duke and others ad nauseum.

All in the name of "... bringing america together..." or some other nauseating version thereof.


It's time to play it straightforward....

[ellie]

34. Oh fuck them.

[struggle4progress]

35. Susan Collins is concerned

[SmartJellyfish]

37. They new he was a snake when they took him in!

?t=53

[Windy City Charlie]

38. Yes

They played the role with him in order to use him to get votes from his base.

[Still Sensible]

39. Does this mean going forward maybe they'll only suck the tip? n/t

[yaesu]

40. Maybe the GOP can ask putin to pretty, pretty please have a talk with his boy. nt

[R Merm]

41. Four fucking years too late

[warmfeet]

43. The asshole is getting

48+% of the vote.

This is America.

[cab67]

44. We gave them multiple opportunities to do something about it.

We showed them the cost of supporting Trump in 2018.

We impeached the motherfracker.

And it's not as though Trump's current behavior is some sort of aberrant level of loutishness. The arrogant bullying loudmouth we see now is the same arrogant bullying loudmouth we've seen for years.

This is on them now.

[Hassler]

45. No doubt all anonymously.

[Lasher]

46. Fuck them

They sold their souls for a few federal judges.

[phylny]

47. NOW A WARNING?

[sdfernando]

48. I will believe it when I see it.

I want to see actual rethug people, on the TV machine saying these things. Otherwise it deosn't mean anything.

[SammyWinstonJack]

53. Whatever.

[KansasKali]

54. Rats from a sinking ship.

He must have know that they never really liked him.

[paleotn]

57. He's been "bleeding GOP support" for 4 years....

but they never actually leave because where the hell are the going to go?

[Javaman]

58. there's a psych ward at walter reed...just sayin'... LOL nt

[brooklynite]

59. Trump (and family) are holding a lot of ambitious Republicans back.....

[lonely bird]

60. Not possible to give a shit less

These people are corrupt on multiple levels.

To borrow from Heinlein’s Citizen of the Galaxy:

People will do strange things for money but the will do more drastic things for power over money. They need the power to continue to enrich themselves.

[WyattKansas]

61. tRUMP is terrified of what is going to be coming for him...

And he will always have to be scared shitless about Vlad putting bounties on his head.

Come on Vlad, pay someone a bounty to take a weed eater to his hair... At least make it interesting for us?

[Rhiannon12866]

62. A bit late, doncha think??

[Aussie105]

63. The GOP trying to reinvent itself?

Trump really has gone too far, the GOP needs to cut loose and reinvent itself as a caring and sharing party?

Four years, and not a murmur!

Rats, sinking ship! Trump goes down, the GOP clutching at straws to prevent the same happening to them. Don't believe it for one second!

[Mr. Ected]

64. Cowards still be cowarding

Whispering in darkened corners instead of calling him out in public.

So sick of these timid, duplicitous ratweasels.

[JohnnyRingo]

65. They must know he's leaving office.

There's nothing to gain by sucking up to him anymore.

[zentrum]

66. Got to avoid...

……doing jail time in NY. Desperate.

[oldsoftie]

67. i want to see actual elected Republicans stand up & say "Enough!"

And more than ONE. Thats the only way to dampen the trumpers hollering.
Facebook today was more ridiculous than usual. these idiots will just believe ANYTHING

[PatrickforO]

68. You can only whine so much, and then people lose respect for you.

His base eats it up, but now EVERYBODY is seeing what a jerk he is.

[ToxMarz]

69. Rats meet sinking ship

Nothing to do with anything other than typical behavior for rats. But go ahead and try to dress it up.
