14. Republicans will NEVER do their jobs. The one GOP

Wed Jan 14, 2026, 01:10 PM

Yesterday

value is that they firmly believe in shirking their duties and avoiding responsibility for anything. They could have stopped Cheeto any day. Executive orders are daily occurrence but that was never meant to be the norm. The GOP is in charge of the legislative branch but passing laws requires votes and sticking one’s head out. They will never do that because it will involve the GOP being responsible. They LIKE what Trump is doing and they get the policy without any cost to them. He is the perfect GOP President.

Don’t look for a profile in courage because, in the words of Harrison Ford to Mark Hamill “Hey kid, it ain't that kind of movie.”
