Republican Cowards: Will Someone Just Call Trump's Number, Please, For GOOD? He's Such A Sack Of Sh_t

The Schloss-Blog has noticed, and so have you, probably, that from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Republicans all through the ranks are cowards.

They refuse to rebuke Trump on anything, especially that which is authoritarian, because they think he'll call them out, maybe primary them.  

If they all came to their senses, admitted to the constitutional violations they see going on all around them and that they are so approving of, they'd see that the 250-year practice of democracy by which we have lived, and governed, is eroding.

All you have to do is watch any news programming (well, not any), to see Trump's violations of American democracy on the one hand and the Republican endorsement of his extreme policies on the other. But even the mainstream media (ABC, CBS) have caved to him with payouts to his frivolous lawsuits, lawsuits that most legal minds said would've been fended off and defeated.

Easily.

Yet, Trump gets away with ... murder ... as of Jan. 3, there had been 35 attacks on ships cruising in the Caribbean and the Pacific, that killed 115 people.

And one dead, one wounded, many gassed and flash-banged in Minnesota.

With no proof that they were smuggling drugs or had any aboard. If the people had been captured, instead of killed, and the cargo taken, instead of sunk, maybe there would be proof - but Trump and his minions would never dare to even make believe to present such proof and undercut themselves.

Because it doesn't exist. Never did.

No more proof, in other words, than the outright lie that he won the 2020 election, which is believed by his idiot, uneducated MAGA followers. In fact, in his speech to the Detroit Economic Club, almost everything to which he referred or claimed was false, including the 2020 election results, the nation's economic recovery and the claim that prices - PRICES - are going down. But he hasn't personally been to the grocery store in -- oh, 79 years.

Yet, Republicans cower.

Hey Democrats, you don't cower, but it's time to do what he does: for instance, he calls them "the Biden Crime family," so, Democrats, call him and his, "the Trump crime family." Say it. Aloud.

He insults every Democrat he can fit into a clumsily crafted sentence and nasty nickname. He can barely speak a semblance of a sentence anymore without appearing to be on drugs. It's time you did the same. Call out his indiscretions, loud and clear - misogynist, racist, bigot, antisemite (he is), greed, emoluments violations (aplenty), convictions, and, likely, his dementia, which appears to likely be progressing into outright Alzheimer's.

Trump is sick. Make him pay the price for it instead of just waiting for him to make mistakes.

The people of the great state of Minnesota wish you would help them get the murderous malignancy known as ICE out of their state.

For GOOD.

Football notes:

** Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula was complaining about his fans having to possibly pay for various streaming services in order to watch NFL games, especially playoffs. Pegula and other NFL notables expressed criticism regarding the league's push toward exclusive streaming services. Pegula, according to a ChatGPT search, highlighted the frustration of "Bills Mafia" members who are forced to pay for multiple, high-cost streaming services—such as ESPN+, Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Paramount+—just to watch all of their team's games, especially Bills fans outside of Buffalo.

Baltimore Ravens owner Stephen Bisciotti echoed the same sentiments.

** The Green Bay Packers are reportedly trying to extend head coach Matt LaFleur, despite the team playing "not to lose" and going so conservative in the second half of their come-from-ahead playoff loss to the Chicago Bears.

But when you play not to lose, you usually do.

** Seven times this year, including the playoffs, the Bears have come from behind - trailing in the last 2 minutes - to win. Can that trend continue against the Rams? Will it have to?
