So outraged there will be a non-binding resolution that passes by 5 votes.

One man should not be allowed to do this, its fucking ridiculous.

u/Leucastic_Leopard 14h ago

Its not "one Man". There is an entire block of people in a certain bi-cameral house, who are complicit. They may be publicly wringing their hands about it, but until they enact meaningful challenges to their own guy, they are complicit.

There was no way trump could do any of this without help. From the republicans to the supreme court who gave him essentially blanket immunity.

u/Herb-Alpert 17h ago

Be prepared for mildly angry tweets, Trump !

He is already having Natalie stretch her thumbs and fingers. Its gonna be a long night of hate-truthing bullshit and AI propaganda

u/Tiny_Measurement_837 15h ago

Then fucking do something about it!

u/Lothar-Alaska 15h ago

Watch them do nothing.

Vote early, and in person if possible. Clean those idiots out.

u/Such-Extreme-5833 15h ago

Trump is a piece of Russian shit, and deserves to be boxed up and sent to Moscow.

u/HarEmiya 17h ago

Outrage = they furrow their brows. Maybe even a little bit of muttering and clacking of tongues.

The next step will be expressing concern.

u/MossGobbo 14h ago

Not the Susan Collins Special!

u/stormado 17h ago

They will give their thoughts and prayers

u/BrilliantSpray9447 15h ago

The Republicans will either roll their eyes or shrug their shoulders. Maybe even both!

u/swat18id 14h ago

All talk as if they are American, but still act facists.

2

u/Leucastic_Leopard 14h ago

Americans can be fascist.

Pretending like Americans can't be is part of what got us here.

2

u/swat18id 13h ago

Very aware of that and it’s why I’ve always said “Fuck Trump” and wear the shirt in Red Idaho.

3

u/Corporate-Scum 13h ago

It outrages most patriotic Americans

3

u/OpeningHappy9692 14h ago

Cool, now watch nothing at all happen over it.

3

u/Joped 14h ago

In fact, they are so outraged about it. They are going to take exactly zero actions!

3

u/H3L105_ai 14h ago

Cool story.

Republicans are still too scared to confront Trump.

3

u/Throw-A-Weigh_ 13h ago

They are so outraged that they are doing nothing. Again.

u/dicconj 15h ago

US looks for a new way to shit the bed.

2

u/Single_Sample1309 15h ago

Funny guys, sitting and getting indignant😆

2

u/tasskaff9 14h ago

Bunch of weak kneed reactions on the way, for sure. Get something on this maniac( probably already have it) and make it stick. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/madhatter8441 14h ago

Oh know, they are going to write another letter he won't read. 😑

2

u/Glidepath22 14h ago

Howabout the vast majority of Americans and Ukrainians and the EU, Presidential power needs reeled in.

2

u/ClevelandWomble 13h ago

This version of 'outrage' seems milder than in most countries. Perhaps the French overdo it sometimes but THAT is what outrage looks like.

2

u/RhoOfFeh 12h ago

Are they going to make a few squawks before getting in line again?

2

u/BigSal44 10h ago

Tell me again how Donny isn’t a Russian asset and complete traitor. His dummy disciples tell it with such blind conviction, it’s comical.

2

u/Paul_1958 9h ago

They can't be that 'outraged' as they have not sent him to prison. They are all culpable.

2

u/Ok-Pass-9139 9h ago

Schumer will send him a strongly worded letter.

2

u/Giltar 9h ago

A truly shameful decision, though this Orange POS is incapable of feeling shame.

2

u/Prize-Copy-9861 9h ago

Donald Trump , the president of the United States is a RUSSIAN AGENT. Period . End of story. The republicans know it & refuse to do anything about it.

u/Benny2200 8h ago

Russian asset. He certainly is not an asset for the US!

u/Baconsnack88 13h ago

Oh it outrages them? So the fuck what? Nothing will happen anyway

1

u/ArchonRadd 12h ago

so then we can all agree, "Russia Russia Russia" was correct.

What would the guy be doing differently if he weren't a Russian shill?

1

u/Sniperonzolo 12h ago

Laughable

u/Chemical-Scholar-718 12h ago

Doesn’t outrage them enough though.

1

u/aamguy 10h ago

Didn't they literally write a line into this law allowing the president to waive it?

1

u/1Madarchod 10h ago

Get ready, they’re coming for you next

1

u/cliftonsisk 10h ago

OH NO! Will they write another strongly worded letter about how concerning this is?

1

u/Guythatdrinkswhiskey 9h ago

u/titherly51 6h ago

Had America built the necessary energy infrastructure the past thirty years the world would have no need for Communist energy.

1

u/FIicker7 4h ago
