To think the Republican Party need to wake up and find their spine?

The Republican Party are responsible for President Trump. Given that they have a majority in both Houses and on the Supreme Court, they are the only ones who can prevent him further damaging the US and its citizens.

Their fear and appeasement of the bully Trump has only made him stronger, but we are where we are and can only go from here.

AIBU to think Republicans need to find their spine, guts and voice to stop appeasing/placating Trump and do their duty for the American people?

Hi all,
Just flagging that it would be a good idea, if this thread is to remain, for it to go back to addressing the subject at hand.

Oddly, it looks like Odin was perhaps a solicitor once upon a time. I get the sense that they had a bit of a mental breakdown during the pandemic (claiming that herd immunity has been debunked and all sorts on some vaccination threads). They seemed a typical poster before then.

Odin, I know you probably won't receive this well and it's not intended to be as patronizing as it might sound, but do make sure to take care of your mental health, step away from Twitter and alike and, if you feel that you might possibly benefit, you should not be reluctant to seek support.

I'm not going to engage further as I don't think it's a remotely productive conversation and I'm not sure it's doing anyone any good.

Hilarious I must say!

My mental health is absolutely fine. I am doing great, physically and mentally. In fact I am really happy with my lot so trying to insinuate anything else doesnt really mean anything at all whatsoever.

I find it weird though that you would take the time to find, look and read other posts of mine on other threads. You must have quite an interest in me as I would not waste any time looking through your past stuff! A bit stalky and creepy really - not something that normal people would do. Seems its not me with the mental issues!

thing thats winding me up on many of these threads is the reaction to suggesting europe goes it alone

so poster A will say something along the lines of ‘europe needs to step up’

and then when poster B says ‘ yes we need to pay more and go it alone without the usa’ poster A throws a wobbly and starts saying that we are too weak to go it alone and we don’t have the soldiers etc

i mean make your bloody minds up!

Is there anyone in real life that could pay you some attention? Feel like I've done my shift.

@BIossomtoes

Sorry, I don't subscribe to all that nonsense. Mr Clever Cloggs is an old saying regardless of female or male that I grew up with. I am not in with the 'woke' crowd, with their 'woke' agenda. People are so feeble nowadays it's a wonder they don't drop dead from shcck if you don't use their 'preferred pronouns'. Mr Clever Cloggs it is. Stick to the subject matter of more debateable issues like the Republicans, democrats, America, etc etc without deflecting to this 'woke' nonsense. Of course there are women in the army but a small percentage compared to men unless many men have shapeshifted and have miraculous become women. ....and pigs might fly!

Having read through the thread, I've reached the conclusion that Odin is an angry male boomer.

They are asking why you keep repeating your posts. That is a question, not a "point".

How are you struggling to understand that?

(For clarity, the sentence immediately above this one is also a question).

What's next?

Odin2018 · 06/03/2025 02:32

Someone one mentioned it and I replied. Another reply and I reply and so it goes on. People reply to posts. ....and so......

OneLemonDog · 06/03/2025 01:19

@Odin2018

There was precisely one mention of Ukraine on the the thread before you started posting, and it wasn't about the rights or wrongs of it, just about how Mike Johsnon had made a u-turn since Trump's election.

I made a post that did not mention Ukraine (it said that I think many Republicans don't agree with his foreign policy positions but are happy to go along with them for the sake of policy).

You then replied to me (although your reply had little or nothing to do with my post), talking about Ukraine, and have generally derailed the thread (although we probably shouldn't have enabled your stupidity quite as much as we have).

That's a little bit rich when this thread is about the republicans and 90% of your posts are about Ukraine.

If people post about Ukraine, I talk about Ukraine. You seem to be more interested in double posts for the life of me I don't know what for!

Judging by the last post the algorithm’s broken.

Interesting to assume @OneLemonDog is male. "Mr Clever Clogs"

Anyway I'm none the wiser re @Odin2018 posts but ah well!

Deflection , deflection, deflection. When you have nothing to say you deflect. Republicans, Democrats, Ukraine, Russia, America etc, etc, but all you can resort to is deflection, deflection, deflection to absolute nothing.

Can you read it? Then tell us all what it is about then Mr Clever Clogs. So intelligent I must say! It is always the people who have nothing to say that resort to calling people 'morons'. Some would say that is quite 'common' and lacking in social decorum.

Yes. I can read them. They are screenshots of some of your recent duplicate posts on the thread.

There's nothing worse than a complete moron who thinks they're intelligent and/or funny 😂

Unfortunately, they're generally too stupid to even feel embarrassed.

I watched Trump last night. I didn't expect opposition from Republicans. They were buzzing and I don't blame them.🤷‍♀️

The USA has a Republican president. It has a Republican majority in both Houses. It has a Republican majority on the Supreme Court. The Republican Party is wholly responsible for the USA.🥳

How are they making things better for American citizens in the USA?
