In this article about why some people have a spine and others not, Anne #Applebaum reminds us how #Graham was not alone in his criticism of Trump:
“Let me put it very plainly,” #Romney said in 2016, “If we Republicans choose Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.”
Romney spoke of “the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third-grade theatrics.”
He called Trump a “con man” and a “fraud”

#SoundMirrors were built across the UK in the 1930s and 1940s. They were designed to pick up sound from great distances and hopefully provide early warning of enemy attacks. The whole project came to an end with the development of the Chain Home radar network. This device is at #Romney in #Kent #photo #photography

🤦🏻♀️Here’s Irrelevant #Romney on #Trump: “I agree with him on a lot of policy fronts. I disagree with him on some things. But it’s like, OK, give him a chance to do what he said he’s gonna do and see how it works out.” FFS, HOW DOES HE THINK IT WILL WORK OUT?!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ www.cnn.com/2024/12/15/p...

@eighthourlunch you forgot “#fascists”
#romney was too liberal for them
It is surprising with all the #gerrymandering the #gop has been doing over the last 40 years (making the #house nearly impossible for the democrats to control), they got stopped in Utah!
#Demography will win in the end. Gerrymandering can’t be effective for long

Habe nun 1 Dank für eine Auszeichnung für "Family Values" - Familienwerte durch die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage gebloggt. Hatte letztes Jahr u.a. auch auf einer interreligiösen Konferenz in Utah, USA gesprochen - & Trumpisten digital getriggert, weil ich dem Trump-kritischen Senator Mitt Romney für seinen fairen Dienst dankte. Ja, ich trotze durch Dialog auch US-Rechtsdualisten gerne! 😜 :ablobcatheart: #NeverTrumper #Romney #USA #Familienwerte

@mergy Also Mitt #Romney doing his own laundry and talking about buying his hoagies from "WaWa's." A laughably pathetic and fake attempt to look like Mr. Natural Everyman. The #McDonalds was even closed. Anyone seen at the drive-through, as well as the food production inside, was all faked for the cameras.

Romney: "I am afraid a fascist regime of donald trump will jail or execute my family"
"So you're gonna vote for harris?"
(runs calculations and finds Trump will save him $46 in taxes over 5 years)

#Romney grew irritated. “Yeah, but I’ve got 25 grandkids!” he said, throwing up his hands. “How am I going to protect 25 grandkids, 2 great-grandkids? I’ve got 5 sons, 5 daughters-in-law—it’s like, we’re a big group.” This was clearly a problem to which he’d given serious thought, & realized there was no solution. In the wks after #Jan6, he’d spent thousands of dollars a day to protect his family from red-capped vigilantes.But how do you hide a family of 40 from a president hell-bent on revenge?

What about his sons? I asked. Might they be targeted?
“I mean, hopefully they’ve all crossed their t’s and dotted their i’s,” #Romney replied, straining to sound casual. “But it’s hard for me to imagine that President #Trump would take the time to go out & see if [he] can find something on members of my family.”
“You might need to expand your imagination,” I suggested.

But when I asked #Romney, in the spring, what a #Trump reelection would mean for him & his family, he was careful at first. “I don’t know the answer to that,” he said. If Trump tried to sic the #DOJ on him, Romney told me, “the good news is I haven’t had an affair with anybody; I don’t have any classified documents; I can’t imagine something I’ve done that would justify an investigation, let alone an indictment.”

#MittRomney Braces for #Trump’s Retribution
#Romney has good reason to fear Trump’s vengeance.
By McKay Coppins
Trump had repeatedly pledged to use the #DOJ & the #FBI to go after his political enemies if reelected.…Romney knew that he was likely to appear on any enemies list kept by the former president, & he’d privately mused to friends that it might be time for him & his wife, Ann, to consider moving abroad. (A spox for the senator told me he was not serious….)

"In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Dick Cheney said. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again."
Any reasonable person should come to the same conclusion.

Hundreds of fmr #Bush, #McCain & #Romney staffers back #KamalaHarris
The more #Trump attacks #Harris as some kind of radical, the more mainstream #Republicans throw their support behind the #Democrat.
Late last week, the 2 major-party presidential nominees traded notable endorsements. On the one hand, Trump picked up support from independent conspiracy theorist #RFKJr, which didn’t seem to bother #Democrats at all.

Where are you #Mattis, #Kelly, #Romney, et al? "IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR THESE PEOPLE to heed their better angels. Donald Trump must be stopped. It is incumbent upon everyone who sees this clearly—and who played a part in getting us here—to speak out and deal with the personal ramifications. Frankly, it’s the least we should expect of them."

More than ♦️200 people who previously worked for President George W. #Bush and Senators Mitt #Romney and John #McCain
♦️have signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.Many of the more prominent signatories, including
a chief of staff,
a legislative director and
a deputy campaign manager for Mr. McCain,
had signed a letter 💥supporting President Biden in the 2020 election.Others work for organizations like The Bulwark and the
Lincoln Project that 💥oppose Donald Trump’s leadership of the Republican Party.But the former Republican officials’ renewed support of the Democratic ticket reflects how Mr. Trump has transformed the Republican Party under his leadership, as well as deep and persistent opposition to his candidacy from those who served Republican presidential candidates.
Mr. Romney, Mr. Bush and other high-profile Republicans skipped the Republican nominating convention last month
-- while the Harris campaign made significant efforts to highlight the support of anti-Trump Republicans
— as well as former members of Mr. Trump’s staff who no longer support him
— with speaking slots at the Democratic convention last week. -

While I live in Utah and don’t always see eye to eye on the stuff that goes on here, #romney is a damn fine person.I’m old enough to remember Orrin Hatch R-Utah and Ted Kennedy D-Mass actually reaching across the aisle during lunch get togethers to negotiate stuff.
Too bad it’s not like that anymore.

CW: Swearing because. That's why.
If you're gonna be a total jackass and recommend Democrats replace Joe Biden with a fucking Republican, at least make it Liz Cheney.
That way, it's like dragging the dog that shit on the carpet, and rubbing its nose in it. Because that's exactly what Republicans deserve. They would scream bloody fucking murder and Cheney would get more votes from GOP than dog abuser Mitt.

@Tengrain
All 3 of the potential VP picks shown (Vance, Rubio, Burgum) have about as much a chance of being T****'s #VP as I do.This is what #ToddlerTrump does. All 3 of these men attacked/criticized him. Now they are defending him & kissing his ass in public to his delight.
This is EXACTLY what he did to #MittRomney when he dangled the possibility of being his Sec or State, making #Romney grovel for a job T**** had NO intention of ever giving him.
He gets off on humiliating his critics.

ℹ At a Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Senator #MittRomney pressed Secretary of State Antony #Blinken on the Administration’s continued failure to deliver to #Congress a comprehensive #strategy to counter #China, required by law after #Romney secured his legislation as a part of the #NDAA for Fiscal Year 2022

⬆️ @luv_wins
My guess is #Romney is burnishing his credentials within the #Republican #Kakistocracy as a #pardon-friendly politician, and signaling who knows what to all who want to crime

⬆️ @luv_wins
>> Romney just can't help being a Trumpian toady …; guess selling himself out just once wasn't enough?
It’s not just #Romney.
This is endemic to the #Republican Party. Been like that since at least as far back as #Nixon, who #Ford #pardoned in #NationalInterest to “heal the nation” 🙄
No accountability for Nixon is what got us here.
Now Republicans, from the smallest ones like #MattGaetz to the biggest whale #Trump, see the Presidency as a way to crime and get out of jail free.
-
What #BigGuy #LittleGuy nonsense from Mitt #Romney, who says if he were president instead of #Biden, he’d have “immediately pardoned” #Trump!
“ Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”
Utterly bankrupt thought. Aren’t we all “little guys” relative to the office of the presidency? None of us would get this kind of consideration. No accountability for Trump?

After #Huckabee's son torturing & hanging a dog to death at Summer camp, #Palin hunting wolves from a helicopter, and Mitt #Romney strapping his dog-carrier to the roof of his car, being cruel to dogs (yes, I know wolves aren't dogs) seems to be a prerequisite to be on a #GOP presidential ticket. 🤨 #Noem
