  1. Republicans don’t give a shit about ANYONE but themselves. All “No” votes are theater; there are no principled stands. We must remove them all!

    That's what #Republicans do.

    In front of the cameras, say whatever you think they people want to hear & soak up the praise.

    Then, once the cameras are off, completely flip & blow those people off. They already got the good press from saying the right thing. "Following thru" once the cameras are off gains you nothing.

  6. In today’s edition of “This won’t end well.”

    Look at this cowardice. At best, it’s shame on him for accepting being lied to, again. At worst, it’s that #trump outmaneuvered him and #cornyn is not a patriot, because patriots fight for country, even at personal pain.

    In tomorrow’s version, everything you care about and once held dear doesn’t end well.

  8. Some key points re: "deal" that satisfied #Cornyn & #Tillis to advance #Blanche nomination for #AG

    1) Trump still stands to gain significantly as he, his sons Don & Eric & Trump Org. will still get retroactive tax audit protection

    2) Blanche's order "may not be significant or legally binding" since it doesn't change that #Trump would have to change the deal "in his personal capacity" & he, #IRS & #DOJ would have to agree to changes, per how deal was written.

  10. #Tillis and #Cornyn obviously thought it was just foreplay.
    Thanks to them acting like MAGA Senators, they will have a criminal Atty General confirmed.
    You can kiss justice goodbye, let slone accountability.

  12. Friday, #DonTheCon said his "Anti-weaponization Fund" is dead.

    Saturday, he was pledging to bring it back.

    Is it any wonder #Cornyn & #Tillis don't believe him? 🤔

  14. Stunning corruption.

    #Cornyn and Tillis "...are not seeking to kill the deal that Mr. Blanche negotiated with Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers, which gave the president, his family and his businesses broad immunity, potentially saving them at least $100 million in penalties and drawing accusations from Democrats of self-dealing. They are merely demanding modifications — in writing."

    Modifications? SMH

  16. #Cornyn responded with a post of his own, in which he said #Trump “is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me & Senator #Tillis.”
    
A refusal by the #Senate to confirm #ToddBlanche would be a notable political setback for Trump, marking a rare instance when the #GOP-led chamber blocked something he wanted. But even if Cornyn & Tillis’s concerns remain unaddressed, Blanche could remain “acting” AG for the foreseeable future.

“John Cornyn, of Texas, & Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, & whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event,”as acting AG, Trump wrote, adding∶“I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, & putting him back after Cornyn & Tillis are out of office”

  20. Where will we be without a #kowtowed, #corrupt AG????

    "The #GOP revolt over Todd #Blanche is suddenly very real

    Republican Sens. John #Cornyn and Thom #Tillis have effectively stalled Blanche’s nomination, and could prevent his confirmation until September — if he gets confirmed at all. "

    No one should fall for #Cornyn 's "just promise me" threat to block #Blanche 's nomination.

    He has repeatedly broken the law and Constitution. He wont respect any written promise, if he doesn't respect those.

    Cornyn will vote yes. It's yet another GOP charade to look principled.

  23. “'The president has not agreed in writing to delete the weaponization fund,' Cornyn (R, TX) said during the hearing, sitting before a blown-up, poster size copy of the order, highlighting his concerns with a long pointer."

    Even #Cornyn knows that #trump will try to pursue the weaponization slush fund another way, if at all possible, fwiw.

  25. He voted with the man 99% of the time — and got fed to a primary anyway. Now John Cornyn says it out loud: November will be a "disaster." When the loyalists start writing the obituary while the body's still warm, the crack is coming from inside the house. Today's Gathering reads the fracture.

  31. @newrepublic

    In 2015/16, Trump would regularly tell a similar fable ("The Snake") at his rallies.

    Everyone knows what he is. The stunning thing is that #Cornyn , for a decade, thought the end result would ever be any different.

  33. Tuesday: John Cornyn lost Texas by 64 to 36 — to a man his own party impeached. The lesson every Republican heard? Kneel, or be next. The revenge tour has a sequel, and the casting's underway.

    This group of Jilted Revanchists that Trump primaried are going to chat, plot, and monkey wrench away. If Paxton ends up in the Senate, Cornyns a loser. If Talarico wins, Cornyn's vindicated. And vindication's big with these fellas.

  36. "What’s more certain is that Trump did himself no favors by destroying #Cornyn’s career over a grudge that is over five years old. The move signaled to Republicans the futility of bending over backwards to help Trump, which is all Cornyn has done since then. Trump is destroying their personal hold on power, and that the one thing members of his party can’t abide. Even Republicans have their limits."

    From @AmandaMarcotte's mouth to God's ears.
