So their "heads will be on a pike" if they don't obey. What a slimy bunch of cowards republicans [View all]

must be. If there was ever a demonstration of the need for term limits this is it. If they couldn’t be re-elected anyway, how would they then vote on trumps impeachment. If threats of being decapitated and having your head placed on display as a warning to any and all who might follow your lead are what currently passes for republican policy, decorum and debate tactics, then clearly a very serious chance must exist that the senate may convict and remove trump.

What legitimate organization treats it’s members in such a fashion? The only organizations that I think act in this manner are criminal in nature. Organized crime and terrorists: the Mob, outlaw motorcycle gangs, MS-13, Isis, The Taliban, White Nationalists, the Aryan Brotherhood., etc.

So the republicans see a desperate need to threaten their members in order to maintain their self ordained belief in their right to rule. Clearly power has thoroughly corrupted at least the upper echelon of the Republican hierarchy. What’s sickly climate of fear they must be operating in. They can have no real belief in right, just self righteousness. No sense of honor. No sacrifice for the nation, just self dealing for personal enrichment.

Who would want to belong to such a group?
