Unless they're actively moving to remove him from power, "revolt" is not really the correct word. They're complicit in everything else.

Unusual
That's a weird way to spell "obviously illegal"
"massive fraud" would also be a good, alternative spelling
It's patently illegal. There's absolutely no defense for this corruption, but the media will keep trying
If they're not doing anything to stop it, complicit is the correct word.
They're revolting SO MUCH that there going to do NOTHING to Stop it!
They're revolting cause they want their cut.
I agree, this does make pathetic R senators, even more revolting.
"unusual" yeesh. Im really over how people and media treat what this sacknof rotten oranges does as anything remotely presidential.
But they will still kiss his ass. Their knees have been worn away so much from kneeling down to this orange fuckhead in the White House, they all deserve the worst that can come to them.
"Unusual" is a funny way to spell "nakedly corrupt."
Finally, some Republicans come to their senses. It's likely best for their political futures not to be a part of the genesis of a pedophile fund.
Senate Republicans whine ~~Revolt~~Over Trump’s ~~Unusual~~ Illegal $1.8 Billion Fund
Fixed.
Why are we ignoring the 1776 dog whistle?
Because what the fuck does it mean and how could it possibly be worse than the face value?
Does 1776 even count as a dog whistle? No one raised in the U.S. is going to see 1776 and not know what it’s a reference to and it’s not even anything controversial.
If they wanted a dog whistle they’d have gone with 1488 (like my HOA’s annual dues this year 😡). I’d be surprised if they didn’t discuss it but decided theycouldn’t stomach the smaller amount.
The "settlement" documents don't show any limited amount
This is the death of the federal congress legislative branch with the executive branch able to directly access and distribute usd to whoever for whatever with no oversight, tracked by secret reports to the acting head of the doj
It's the rallying cry of white nationalists- the Confederacy. They're beating their war drums while draining the USA's war funds.
Yeeesss. Eat each other. Dooooo it.
Until the exception added that they too will be eligible as po' white victims of antifa, who is also eligible cause they are the po' white J6 traitors.
Senate Republicans outraged they weren't cut in on the deal.
No they don't. They fall over themselves to lick between a fat crusty pedo's toes. Gimme a break here...
Even if they did manage to have a thought, Shitler just has to call them some childish schoolyard bully names and they'll get back on their knees.
Every single Republican and Republican voter think he's their golden god. 🤮🤮🤮
No they don’t.
Senate Republicans Revolt over Trumps Usual 1.8B fraud. That's how I read the headline.
