Ossoff spills what MAGA senators really say about Trump

Sen. Jon Ossoff has revealed that most Republicans in Congress think Donald Trump “has lost it” and will drag their party down in the midterms.

Ossoff, 39, called a news conference on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to address what is expected to be part of the president’s primetime address in two days: the baseless claim that Ossoff’s 2020 election win was illegitimate, as was fellow Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock’s.

Ossoff was asked to comment on Republican lawmakers who agree with Trump going down this path.

“What do you say to your Republican colleagues who may agree with the president on this?” he was asked.

Ossoff answered, “I don’t know of Republican colleagues who agree with the president on this. Privately, most elected Republicans in this building think the president has lost it and is dooming them to dismal losses this fall.”

Yet when he's in front of them, they get down on their knees and get kissy kissy with his oversized ass.

I also don’t believe they believe most of the shite that comes out of their mouths.

Ditto for most of his cabinet.

I am doubtful that anyone who actually knows him likes him. It is all fear, intimidation, and bribery.

Ken Paxton the criminal and pedophile protector got the endorsement for the pResident. Poor John was constantly airing campaign commercials sighting how many times he voted as senator 99.9% and got left behind because trump prefers child predators!

He has a knack for making it simple and pointed. That is what it takes to reach the most people.

Right now they can't do anything except talk. Literally.

The party that has the majority in Congress controls everything Congress does. Right now the Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate.

That means that Democrats can't even get anything out of committee for a vote. They can propose bills but the majority-controlled committees will simply ignore it.

This is why it's essential to vote Democrats into power. Vote for the Democrat in every race, up and down the ballot.

For most of them, daily life in the Beltway is a series of decisions, all based on survival. There is no strategy.

And for the longest time, the most important decisions have been made for them by lobbyists or PACs that threaten to fund primary challenges.

The idea of acting independently or in the public interest is pretty much 100% lost in the GOP, and very much under seige in the Dem Party as well.

Or board appointments later after they leave office. It has little to do with public service and constituents.

Who will "work with them" on "bipartisan" legislation like the fucking Laken Riley Act.

Not buying. They love this shit.

You're not guaranteed a seat at the table. They flip on a whim.

As for the sycophants,
Sorry about their luck...

... is a colloquialism that means about the same as I couldn't care less.

There's also...
Fu>k them if they can't take a joke.
It means about the same thing.

Either way, they shouldn't look here for sympathy.

Thanks for the discussion, YMBL. ❤️
