On Saturday, Politico reported Senate Republicans are enraged that Trump went around them to try to negotiate a coronavirus stimulus deal with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) l...................
............

“At least two GOP senators warned White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that spending as much as $2 trillion on a big bill could backfire at the ballot box,” reported Burgess Everett and Jake Sherman..................

.............

“There’s no appetite right now to spend the White House number or the House number,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) on the call. Meanwhile, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), who chairs the Senate Republican Conference, said it would be seen as an “an enormous betrayal by our supporters” if Trump agrees to anything that expands Affordable Care Act programs to deliver relief — something that was done in the previous bipartisan round of stimulus, the CARES Act.


Trump’s reversal on negotiating a deal came after his initial refusal triggered a stock market crash, widespread outrage, and speculation that he might have thrown away his chances of re-election.

These stupid Republican Senators have not figured out that Trump is always to himself--his Ego!

1. Note to GOPers: He only uses you, and

if you don’t care enough about your constituents to make a deal with Pelosi, may you soon pay a price at the polls

[christx30]

36. If only someone had warned them

for the last 5+ years that he doesn’t dive a crap about anyone but himself, and he’ll drop you off 2 seconds after you stop being useful to him.
I love to see the republicans eating each other. I want more.

[Phoenix61]

2. What?!? He threw them under the bus?

Shocked, I tell you I’m shocked! How they didn’t see this coming is beyond me. They are even stupider than I thought they were. Hard to imagine but there it is.

[regnaD kciN]

3. I am SO hoping we flip the Senate as well...

Let's see these assholes live with minority status for a good long time, so we don't have to give a damn about what "their supporters" want.

[KS Toronado]

14. Stop hoping and start believing because we will take the Senate

Months ago my Crystal Ball showed me a minimum of 7 seats we flip. The gop better be ready to face the music.

[oldsoftie]

42. Which 7?

[KS Toronado]

50. It never said which states, just 7-9.

Barbara Bollier in Kansas is looking up, she's now tied in some polls.

[oldsoftie]

51. When you said your crystal ball, i just thought it was your thoughts!

Not an actual crystal ball!

[Me.]

4. Your Turn

You allowed him to abuse the country for 4 years, get over it

[paleotn]

5. Rethuglican toadies got screwed....

by the same psycho administration they've tied themselves into pretzels defending. Couldn't happen to a more loathsome bunch of assholes. Hilarious.

[StClone]

38. I think this is an excuse because they know they are screwed

This is the straw which broke the camel's back? I don't think so!

If Trump were on his way to a victory the Rs would be saying "This goes against our morals but we will allow this deal with evil Nancy, for the people, to pave our way to re-election."

But, they smell defeat, the absolute stench of resounding death, as their scow goes down. So they cobble the few wits they have among them and say: Well this is a deal breaker Donald! We can't allow this! We are pulling our support for you.

PLEasssssse. After all the million cuts they've taken this far NOW they think it's too much!? No they want out at the last possible chance to separate from Trump as he goes down trashing wildly in a possible historic loss!

[BigmanPigman]

41. I agree!

[BComplex]

6. "You knew I was a snake before you took me in!"

His words will come back to them now.

[raccoon]

25. Beat me to the post! Nt

[BComplex]

28. ...

[napi21]

7. GOOD! It's about time you told him to f-off! He's only interested in HIS reelection, not yours! nt

[yaesu]

8. Awww, poor babies are butthurt. nt

[Yonnie3]

9. If you are so furious, Resign!

Talk is cheap, show him how betrayed you feel.

[patphil]

10. Senate Republicans are complaining that Trump betrayed them?

Really?
Did they actually think Trump gives a rat's ass about any of them?

After 4 years of sucking up to Trump and ignoring his obvious illegal activities, I would ask them if they've given any consideration as to how they've betrayed the nation?

[Mr. Sparkle]

11. right before the election they are going to pretend to be fiscal conservatives ignoring the last 4 yrs

the nerve of some people.

[Hip2bSquare]

12. I'm thoroughly enjoying the unravel

The slow unraveling of the GOP brings me a smile. Year after year, election after election, we've had to stand back and watch the losing side continue to make the rules and bend the rules and cheat. Finally, it is backfiring.

It is time for them to lose and lose bigly. Leopards Eating People's Faces party, I'm loving every bit of it.

[elleng]

17. Yes indeed!

[KS Toronado]

13. If Moscow Mitch had a viable coronavirus stimulus deal, they would be negotiating with Pelosi

Reminds me of their better/cheaper health care plan they don't talk about.

[JudyM]

15. That photo echoes Rubber Soul. How appropriate!

[klook]

45. Plastic Soul in their case.

[JudyM]

47. Exactly. Proud of their plasticity.

[elleng]

16. Imagine THAT, try to negotiate a coronavirus stimulus deal,

trying to do their JOBs!

[LiberalFighter]

18. They are just getting vocal about this to cover their ass.

[jayfish]

19. "There's no APPETITE right now to spend"

What a depraved and callous choice of words.

[Tommymac]

34. And they will be remembered at the ballot box Nov3

Hey Rethugs - You can pay The People now - or YOU will pay later.

[klook]

44. That jumped out at me, too.

But plenty of appetite to yank health coverage away from millions, turn women into forced incubators, and overturn the results of an election.

I want these assholes out of power SO bad. We’ll be fighting them the rest of my life. If that’s what it takes, so be it. They are a scourge.

[DallasNE]

20. Slow Learners - The Whole GOP Lot

The stock market plunge was fully expected when Trump ended the talks and that would spook Trump - who didn't see that coming. But is was McConnell who orchestrated calling off the talks so it seems the whole GOP Senate got blindsided by the predictable outcome. Now they are caught between a rock and a hard place of their own making. Silly them.

[chriscan64]

21. Whose idea was it to have the White House negotiate?

Get a mirror, gop schmucks, it was you. They wanted to have their cake, eat it too, and have another cake. They didn't want the calamity of having no bill pass but they didn't have the votes to pass the low cost bill they wanted. Despite the Democrats having the leverage and compromising by cutting the cost, they held firm and passed the buck of negotiating to Trump. "Whatever Trump agrees to sign, we'll pass", paraphrasing McConnell quote.

Go on record voting against needed assistance, or having no vote at all. The ads just write themselves.

[groundloop]

22. I'm more zoned in on the fact that Senate GOPers don't want to do anything to help ACA

The ratfuckers are pissed because there's a chance the Affordable Care Act might give a bit of help to Americans who need it.... oh my god, we can't have that now can we.

It's understandable (in a reprehensible sort of way) that they don't like being passed over for negotiations, but the fact that they don't want to do anything to help Americans is totally ridiculous. SCREW YOU Moscow Mitch and all of your fellow ratfuckers.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. How would they recognize betrayal? They vaporized their Constitutional oaths /nt

[Marie Marie]

24. Trump being Trump - trying to buy votes and stomping on anyone who gets in his way.

Welcome to our Hell Republicans.

[Warpy]

26. Should have gotten rid of the lying backstabber when we gave them the chance.

Now they're stuck with him and his attempts to hang onto power at all costs, and they're on the chopping block along with everybody else in the country.

Maybe that will slowly dawn on them.

[Grokenstein]

27. Weh! Weh! The Betrayer We Worshipped For His Treachery...Betrayed Us!!

"How could he do such a thing...to us? No one could have foreseen this!!"

Vote 'em out, every one you can. They not only want to deprive you of health care for no other reason than to revel in your suffering, they're just stupid.

[keithbvadu2]

29. Loyalty in Trump world only goes one way - to Trump.

Loyalty in Trump world only goes one way - to Trump.

Don't act surprised.

[Renew Deal]

30. Someone here noticed that McConnell tricked Trump into taking the blame for not passing a stimulus.

But McConnell underestimated Trump's instinct to look after his own interest. Trump changed plans once he found out it would hurt him personally.

[uberblonde]

31. Because helping people whose lives were destroyed...

Is "betrayal"?

My, they're something, aren't they?

[SergeStorms]

32. Dumb asses!

Did they really expect loyalty from Donald Trump? Have they learned nothing in the past 4 years? What a bunch of pathetic losers. Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump. Dumb asses.

[Sloumeau]

33. LOL! Of course Trump stabbed Republican Senators in the back!

That's what Trump does! Republicans spent four years kissing his ass, and then he stabbed them in the back. Hahahahaha!

[beachbumbob]

35. Love it when GOP turn on each other

[barbtries]

37. it sounds as if they are out of touch

without any appreciation at all for the huge number of Americans, including republicans, who are threatened right now.

fucking assholes. also cowards: did they tell trump he pissed them off?

[Marcuse]

39. Republicans are running and they can't hide.

[Lulu KC]

40. Why am I bothered about how my pictures look?

When McConnell just looks like this all the time?

Sorry. Tangent. But really!?

[Le Drunkard Thomas]

43. Live by Hyperpartisanship. . .

and DIE via same!

[Progressive Jones]

46. What the GOP can't seem to understand is,

nobody else cares what their supporters like, or don't like.

GOP voters got this nation into the mess it's been in for a long time,
and they're pushing their luck with the rest of the nation.

Edit for spelling error.

[David__77]

48. That seems politically foolish to me.

...

[NCjack]

49. GOP senators screwed by Mr. Trump should get even

by voting against Barrett.

[Politicub]

52. The whole lot of the GOP is so petty and stupid.

All they do is finger point and whine.

Someone give McConnell a bottle.
