At least 9 GOP lawmakers are at Trump trial, which could be a problem for Republicans

1. Lisa Murkowski (of all people) said it best when muttering about having something better to do?

   In recent decades since Reagan, types like these would say “no, absolutely not!”

2. “Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Mike Waltz (Fla.) and Eli Crane (Ariz.) were spotted in the courtroom, while Reps. Andy Ogles (Tenn.) Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.), Ralph Norman (S.C.) and House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (Va.) were also spotted at the Manhattan courthouse.”

   A basket of deplorables.

3. All that Beetlejuicen in the MAGA back row.

4. Instead of pushing for policies that would better the life of their constituents, they would rather support a convicted rapist and about to be convicted criminal. Yet their constituents will vote for these worms against their own interests.

5. Democrats should rush to vote on Jefferies as Speaker.

6. I guess these are the early birds lining up for pardons.

7. Should they not be in D.C.working wtf?

8. Theater of the absurd in which diaper don is the script writer.

9. If I skipped a day of work to ogle my hero being a jackass in public, I wouldn’t make that day’s money (I’m self employed). These people should get the same treatment (they work for us).

10. Boebert didn’t show up for her son’s trial, last week.

    Her son also showed up without a lawyer (which you can imagine the judge wasn’t happy about. He is claiming he can’t afford one, which means Laura isn’t willing to help her own son with legal fees.

11. This reminds me of time that 100 mob bosses gathered for a get away in PA. The FBI raided the party.

12. It’s a nice reminder that Trump and his cronies are pending those [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act) (RICO) charges in Georgia.

    This help demonstrate that behavior in this case too. Act like gangsters, get treated like gangsters.

13. They’re advocating for crime.

14. > And as the jurors entered the room, Boebert slowly turned her body to continue facing them as they walked across the room to the jury box.

    What a ridiculous performance for an audience of one.

15. Tripping over themselves to prostrate before the orange turd king. Notice me, your majesty!

    In other words, a typical day in the GOP world.

16. The jurors will notice that only one family member has shown up in support. If his family is trying to avoid giving credibility to the case itself, it will be an even bigger insult to the members of jury.

17. Dems should pass something today while they have the majority. But they won’t.

18. Tools. They’re all pathetic tools. Nothing more.

19. the are like puppies climbing into the bag with the rock

20. Sounds like jury tampering.

21. Boomers: “no one wants to work anymore.”

22. These people gathering is just highlighting Melania’s absence. Where’s Melania?

23. It’s almost as if Trump is a honeypot for criminals.

24. Loser club meeting

25. all this for an orange baboon with poopy diapers.

26. > The move could jeopardize GOP attendance at a key vote later in the day and also comes after the House Oversight and Accountability Committee bumped a scheduled hearing to facilitate their attendance at court.

    Showing fealty to Donnie was more important to them than their sham investigation of Garland, because they know it’s just more performative politics

27. Of course BoBo the public hand job clown is there. What is her job again exactly?

28. Can the house vote on a whole bunch of progressive laws while they’re out?

29. >And as the jurors entered the room, Boebert slowly turned her body to continue facing them as they walked across the room to the jury box.

    Wonder what that’s all about? Jury intimidation or maybe concealed camera recording?

30. The party of family values is supporting a guy who raw dogged a sex worker while his wife was home taking care of their baby?

31. Isn’t that kind of illegal???

32. Put bills on the floor!!!

33. Our taxpayer dollars at work. 😡

34. Anytime I see stuff like this, I can’t help but think back to when [Saddam Hussein had everyone in his government come together in that massive auditorium where he started calling out people who in his eyes had conspired against him. He accused them of treason & had his goons take them out & a bunch were shot.](https://youtu.be/kLUktJbp2Ug?feature=shared) Sounds extreme, but I could 100% see Trump do something like this if he made it back in.

    This crap just kind of reeks of this to me: These muppets want to make sure they publicly looked loyal to him, no matter what. That & they’re all kissing ass for that sweet VP pick.
