Senator (R) Lisa Murkowski is AFRAID of Retaliation

Does she carry a gun?

She’s not wrong. We got threats last summer after my spouse went on CNN.

You know who else was afraid, Lisa? The troops who stormed the beaches at Normandy.

It's time to grow a pair and honor the oath you took to serve the American people.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Mary!!

They voted for their face cage of rats.

They voted for their face cage of rats 🐀.

If she was *really* brave, she'd switch parties from [R] to [D] and say fuck it.

Pampered nepo senator. A lifetime in politics with nothing to show for it. Plus this has been going on since the dawn of politics. Go get a fainting couch and stop boring people. Corrupt bitch.

What did those people think would happen when they shamelessly pandered to the MAGA cult and their leader? They had a chance to get rid of him in January 2021 but they thought "he learned his lesson" and he shouldn't suffer any real consequences for trying to overthrow the government. Leopards, faces, etc.

R2 I’m so sorry that happened. I hope whatever your spouse spoke on made a difference and was worth whatever came afterward

Lies she is afraid she will be primaried and lose her cushy job. Speak up and speak out...that is your job.

Smaller, Lisa.

R10, she did vote to convict him in January 2021.

She should say exactly what she wants as hard and direct as she wants but like any coward she should do it anonymously like I do.

Curious R2- What are you folks doing to stay safe in spite of threats?-some of us may also need to speak publicly.

I'm so sick of these two - Murkowski and that concerned bitch. Grow some balls, ladies.

Lisa should lie down with Collin’s and lick.

R13 Did she sleep with Trump, too?

If she puts keeping her job above FUCKING DOING HER JOB she needs to resign.

Murkowski and Collins should play mixed doubles with MTG and Boebert.

R19 Are you kidding? I only do 10's. Have you seen my list? Melania is a smoking hot Russian pee hooker...I mean beautiful model.

R18, Susie has some great big hairy New Englander balls.

r20 this could be said of every single R member of Congress right now.

Yes that’s her job or just retire.

She can go FUCK HERSELF for the cowardliness and indulgence she has shown.

Is Senator Murkowski the first trans woman in Alaska to become a senator?

What? I didn’t know she was a trans.

Since 2016.

Is r25 - r29 having a stroke?

Getting primaried and put out to pasture during this administration would be a godsend (especially if you plan to do nothing about it). Lean in, Lisa.

Ate least she does....the other spineless GOP, just make whispers in private and salute their leader in public.

Lisa Murkowski has consistently been been one of the few brave ones, so I’m at a loss to understand the animus she attracts here. But then this is DL, where a DEMOCRATIC senator from West Virginia was regularly attacked for not representing his constituency as if they were Californians.

[quote]But then this is DL, where a DEMOCRATIC senator from West Virginia was regularly attacked for not representing his constituency as if they were Californians.

That DEMOCRAT was responsible for tanking Biden's approval ratings and helping to give us Trump.

Politics is the last place for purity tests.

We just want her to do more.

That DEMOCRAT, R34, improbably from the REDDEST state in the country, was responsible for the Democrats controlling the Senate the first two years of the Biden administration. That alone should’ve been enough for all the purists. But there’s more. He voted to confirm every one of Biden’s record number of judicial nominees. Those judges may well be our only salvation in the existential battle in which we find ourselves.

R34 Tanking Bidens approval ratings? :-)

-JHC Biden was becoming senile. He was no longer fit to run.

She and Collins attract our ire, because they form an ineffectual, tepid opposition to Trump and MAGA. If they were straight up motherfuckers they'd get less criticism, because there's no "high-minded" cant from the likes of Hawley, Cruz, and Cotton. We know they're motherfuckers who can be counted on predictably to be motherfuckers.

If you read the full content of what she said, she continues to say that she *is* speaking up (although with some fear) but admits that the Republican Senate and House are not fulfilling their Constitutional duties.

I hope Democrats in both chambers are identifying Republicans who would support impeachment so we can proceed with that process at some point. It may seem unlikely but if the level of concern in the Senate and House are as high as she seems to indicate, maybe it could work. At this point I don't see any other solution. Waiting 2 years for the mid-terms is not going to work.

We clearly would not be in the same place if there were just a handful of more republicans senators like Murkowski.

In other words she’s complicit.

[quote]improbably from the REDDEST state in the country, was responsible for the Democrats controlling the Senate the first two years of the Biden administration.

Yeah, and along with Sinema, helped to crush or hinder any major legislation that Biden tried to pass. Screwing him over and making anyone associated with his cabinet political poison.

[quote]Those judges may well be our only salvation in the existential battle in which we find ourselves.

I cheer for the democrats who worked with the president as well as approved his judges. We wouldn't be in this battle if it weren't for "democrats" like Manchin and Sinema.

As a senator from a purple state, Sinema merited all the brickbats. Manchin, from the rubiest of red states, did not. Unless you prefer Jim Justice to him.

I like her a lot. Wish she’d at least become an independent.

I have the feeling that Fetterman will be an even bigger disappointment than either Manchin or Sinema.

R43 Somehow, I don't think West Virginia's would be opposed to lowering drug costs and health care costs. You just need a democrat skilled enough to frame it to them.

The rest of your strawman argument is eye rolling.

You got us into this jam by voting Repug, gurl, and you can help get us out.

If all of you pussy rethugs stood with the Democrats, you could gave him impeached and REMOVED THEN IN PRISON within a week, but you’re too scared of his cult.

You brought thus in yourselves and the WORLD

Quite the slow learner are you, R46, if - after all these years, no less - you (still) believe the most MAGA voters in the union would be open to the arguments of a “skilled” Democrat.

R48

Biden and Harris had four fucking years and the entire DOJ to bring down Trump. And they ended up not only doing nothing they gift wrapped the white house win for him.

Biden and Harris brought thus in yourselves and the WORLD ( whatever that means)

Sorry R47 not 48^

[quote]Lies she is afraid she will be primaried and lose her cushy job

She's already been primaried, lost the primary, ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and won. I don't think she's worried about being primaried.

Fortunately, Alaska has ranked-choice voting.

[quote]You know who else was afraid, Lisa? The troops who stormed the beaches at Normandy.

To be fair, those soldiers didn't have to worry about death threats against their family members. It's one thing to risk your own life, it's quite another to be told your grandchildren will be killed if you dare to cross the Orange Messiah.

A lot of keyboard warriors here. As if Lisa Murkowski thought she was risking her life & that of her loved ones when, in the pre-Trump era, she entered the political arena.

Thank you R34. Nobody among our elected officials signed up - or deserves - to be the next Gabby Giffords or worse, the next Bobby Kennedy.

Go Independent and caucus with the Dems, Lisa. The old Republican party is dead. There’s only the Trump cult now.

You can have her. She's not even pretty.

If she still has her job in 6 months time you'll know she's a fucking spineless mealy mouthed liar. Respect to Kinzinger Cheney. 2 sets of balls on them.

[quote]You got us into this jam by voting Repug, gurl, and you can help get us out.

I highly doubt she voted for Trump.

[quote]Respect to Kinzinger Cheney. 2 sets of balls on them.

Cheney got primaried and lost her seat, and Kinzinger didn’t run because he knew he wouldn’t be elected. At least Murkowski is speaking out while she’s still in the Senate.

[quote]If you read the full content of what she said, she continues to say that she *is* speaking up (although with some fear) but admits that the Republican Senate and House are not fulfilling their Constitutional duties.

I had no idea Captain Obvious was a woman.

Bitch, leaders are REQUIRED to be brave!!!! If you are afraid to use your voice, step aside. I'm afraid and that's why I would not pursue a career in politics.

[quote] Biden and Harris had four fucking years and the entire DOJ to bring down Trump. And they ended up not only doing nothing they gift wrapped the white house win for him.

Harris was VEEP which is the least effectual job in DC. You cannot blame failure to prosecute Dump on her. If it'd been her call, his prosecution would have started January 2025.

Biden or Harris it hardly makes a difference now. Like the passengers arguing about who was going too fast before they hit the iceberg the cqpt

Well that R64 post sure decided to post itself and far too early.

Harris went down with the ship. In charge because Joe is senile or or no influence at all it hardly mshe said she would have changed nothing Joe did.

BULLSHIT, R49.

You can thank the SUPREME COURT for that.

So… she’s tried nothing and she’s all out of ideas. Groovy.

Yes you dumb cunt. Cheney chaired a MASTERFUL trial of Trump. And then she lost her seat. Exactly what 40 other Republican congress members with any balls should have done, as well. Until Trump was done and dusted.

Wasn’t she one of the few Republicans who tried impeaching him?

She did.

No, she didn't. The HOUSE did impeach him. She voted to CONVICT.

“Fear of Retribution”

A wkop tv investigation into political cowards afraid to stand up to Trump unearthed by a group of brave men who will bravely attack anyone just as long as no on knows who they are. So like the KKK they hide their identity using the ——anonymous..

News at 11

R36, I have a serious & genuine question for you. Please answer as plainly & as honestly as you can:

How fucked do you personally believe we are? How far out at sea are we right now, & what vessel are we on?

Can we still turn this around, & if so, how do we do so without being disappeared or held hostage or without having family members disappeared/held hostage?

Ironic that a woman who has consistently braved MAGA hatred to vote in several key moments (like impeachment) on the right side of history, who has the added bravery to say what is not being said, is the focus of such animus when there are dozens of male politicians on both sides who have pussied out. It has been obvious that any GOPer who bucks the MAGAs is being threatened. She confirmed it. Try being an elderly woman with children and grandchildren to protect knowing the threats are backed by the POTUS. Pelosi’s husband got brained with a hammer. As someone else said eloquently, it’s one thing to risk your own life. It’s unthinkable when your family is at risk.

R53, interesting that you should point this out because I personally have an inkling that what you describe is EXACTLY what’s taking place & I do not believe most Americans realize what’s actually happening behind the scenes. How would they? The silence leading to denials is all part of how this all works.

I’m surprised others aren’t speaking up about this more. Something is going on behind the scenes here that is more horrific than we realize or care to question. The way this is happening, the speed in which it’s happening and precisely how it’s happening is beyond anything we have ever, ever witnessed, so Murkowski isn’t being dishonest or a lame, tepid excuse of a human being when she states that she’s never been “here” before.

If we make it out of this situation, I believe we might learn of some shit we never could actually conceive, but if we pay close attention, the clues are right there & pretty obvious. And anyone who is currently actively resisting is probably being funded by deep pockets, which probably includes top level security guarding them 24/7 while they’re on a non stop public appearances tour.

Something is up behind the scenes. I think we’re in REALLY deep, & some people’s lives are at risk

Maybe it’s my cold meds talking, but this time it feels VERY different than it did from 2016-2020, & I’m afraid we’re in really deep shit, & some people’s lives are trying to tell us this, & still… we refuse to hear them out & listen.

No excuses for those who willingly & gleefully allowed themselves to become compromised & complicit years & years ago, but I don’t believe we’re currently able to understand the entire picture.

Fuck, I honestly hope I’m wrong, but I hope people take this to heart because if I’m wrong right now? I won’t be wrong very, very soon.

I believe we have MONTHS, not years.

Correction:

“Maybe it’s my cold meds talking, but this time it feels VERY different than it did from 2016-2020, & I’m afraid we’re in really deep shit, & some people’s lives are at risk, while others are trying to tell us this, & still… we refuse to hear them out & listen.”

I think I can speak for many here but I am so glad despite being as sick as you are that you took the time to make that correction R76

.

R75, then one of these people needs to go on 60 Minutes or some popular podcast (not Blow Rogaine, since he’s just thug propaganda) and lay it out like we’re 5.

All of this pussyfooting around, mealy mouthed double speak is dumb and it does nothing to help rally those who can and would stand up to fight.

If you came right out and said, “the orange traitor has personally threatened my family with job loss, physical harm or property destruction” then people may understand.

Follow it up with a civil suit. That fat fuck can be sued civilly while President (remember Paula Jones?)

The only way these threats stop is when the people making them are exposed.

[quote]If you came right out and said, “the orange traitor has personally threatened my family with job loss, physical harm or property destruction” then people may understand.

Mitt Romney said in 2023 that he paid $5,000 a day for private security to protect his family after he spoke out against the Jan. 6 insurrection. Nobody seemed to care.

Senator Susan Collins is deeply concerned.

Senator Murkowski's duty is to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

She is "to take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion."

She's afraid? Then fucking resign already and let someone with a spine take your place. I cannot believe this. Supposedly many Republicans in Congress are appalled by the actions of the Trump Administration. Then speak out! History, if we have a future, will not be kind. And that goes for centrist Democrats like Schumer. Where have you been lately?

If these senators are too afraid to speak out then they should find another career.

You are a fucking senator. Do your fucking job or resign. I do not care how afraid you are. If you can’t bring yourself to do the right thing then YOU are the problem and by association you are a goddamn NAZI. Stand up right now or get the fuck out of the way.

R82, you are under the impression that the Alaskan successor to Murkowski would be some Jeffersonian Democrat. That will not be the case. Anymore than that the successor to Joe Manchin was going to be an improvement.

[quote]If you came right out and said, “the orange traitor has personally threatened my family with job loss, physical harm or property destruction” then people may understand.

Most people don't care about anything until it happens to THEM.

WKPK News at 11 pm—Dead Weight an investigation

An investigation to a group of men who refuse to be in the military, serve as crossing guards for school children, won’t consider being police or fire fighters, now make fun of those who are afraid to face danger and threats, while they worry about how much money they have lost in the stock market.

Shit, half you queens mocking this Senator for being afraid of Trump are still in the fucking closet at work.

You need to STFU.

Fuck off!! She’s a fucking whore who needs to be primaried and sent to the glue factory

R90, that happened in her last reelection campaign. She lost the primary, then won the general as a write-in candidate.

I’m only posting for the perfect photo of rancid gash Lisa Murkowski.

She's got the face she deserves.

Phony cunnnnnnnnnnt.

We are in this place because Republicans refused to impeach Trump twice, even though it was obviously he was guilty both time. They put party and personal benefit over country and the law. Instead of being in prison for his crimes, Trump is now back in the White House, and all the guardrails are off. So now they are concerned about speaking up?

[quote] We are in this place because Republicans refused to impeach Trump twice, even though it was obviously he was guilty both time.

Well, Murkowski was one of the six republicans who DID vote to convict post J6.

R95 yes its the GOPs fault Trump is president

it’s a darn shame we never had a democratic admin and a DOJ with 4 whole years to try and convict Trump.. if we only had that the democrats could have taken care of Trump and put him in prison not whine that the gop did not do the job for them..

Girl, you’re going to be retaliated against during the next elections.

Fuck her.

I cannot be the only person who is getting tired of all these people crying about the leopard eating their faces.

Merrick Garland slow walked the investigation for two years, just kicking the can down the road rather than aggressively prosecuting an attempted coup.

[quote] Merrick Garland slow walked the investigation for two years

Another failure of imagination. Who in 2021 seriously thought Donald Trump would be returning to the White House in four years?

[quote]Lisa Murkowski

CUNT

Please, r102. We ALL knew he was going to run again, since it was the ONLY WAY the orange sonofabitch could stay out of the electric chair.

Garland fucked around, dragged his feet, made excuses and refused to prosecute him.

That fucking piece of shit should have been prosecuted on January 21st, 2021. PERIOD.

Garland was fucking useless, just like every fucking dipshit pundit with their “oh, he has to prosecute the foot soldiers first, before they go after him”. BULLFUCKINGSHIT!

Cut the head of the beast off first. Once the head is dead, then mop up the rest of the fleeing scum.

Six Republican senators would not have voted to convict Trump, R104, if they thought there was any chance he had a viable political future. And othosurely regret they didn’t have the foresight to see his return, because they could have put an end to a man they so widely despised.
