    Guess we just roll over and give in to stupid Hitler then. Have you tried dangling a Big Mac in front of him? Probably would’ve got SNAP and ACA credits funded in full if you offered him a hamburder.

  2. If he wasn’t safe he would be fighting. He is so safe so screw the people he was elected to represent.

    Thats why we teach kids not to stand up to bullies, its the American way. Its much easier to let them continue to hurt you than face confrontation.

    > King felt that holding the line against Trump and the GOP wasn’t working, despite Democrats’ landslide election wins last week and favorable poll numbers.

    King supports the dictatorship 

  5. Yeah, if you’re going to publicly embarrass yourself with how you had no-choice but to bend the knee to Trump, there’s no better place to head than ‘Morning Joe.’

    Old coward’s not up for re-election until 2030 so he probably figures he’s not gonna face any consequences.

    Capitulating to abusers doesn’t work either, unless you have an exit strategy. What is the strategy here? Certainly doesn’t seem to be defending the kids (constituents.) This was about standing up to corruption and an unlawful power grab and you failed to do that. Now the window is wide open to a bipartisan contempt for Congress failing to do their job. Congratulations. It doesn’t seem like anyone is being represented by congress unless they are large corporations or obscenely wealthy individuals.

    Christ, even if you think that internally why in the ever-loving fuck would you admit that publicly?

    He is out of touch, far too old to serve, and especially not fit to make major decisions for the American people.

  10. They’re so weak they aren’t even pretending that this is some kind of 4D chess move. Just straight up admitting it was a surrender. There moderate democrats are nothing more than professional losers.

  11. Democrats were *so fucking close* to a win. Schumer proposed a very reasonable 1 year extension, and Republicans were publicly mulling an extension with additional abortion restrictions (which could have been negotiated down to something virtually identical to current abortion restrictions). Republicans were cracking, and for once Democrats were holding strong.

    This has nothing to do with Trump. Corporate Dems were starting to get pressure from donors who didn’t want their air travel to be inconvenienced.

    > “Standing Up to Trump Didn’t Work”

    “So we’ve decided that for all Americans the best bet is for all of us to get on our knees and blow him and just hope that he doesn’t hurt us too much.. its the best we got.”

  13. 81 years old senator has somehow not yet figured out politics and hands opposition a major win with long term consequences for everyone younger than him.

    It didn’t work because you are weak and pathetic. We tried nothing and it didn’t work so we gave up..

  15. Wow, fuck this guy.

    His son will be running for govonor of Maine next year, and this article at least implies that may have give king motivation to end this and side with republicans. There are 6 other democrat candidates running – Maine, please choose one of them who actually will support this country.

    It absolutely was working. Trump got killed int he elections, the country new this was Trump’s fault. Everyone knows that health care costs are going to to skyrocket like crazy. The Dems were getting overwhelming support. And then they cave. It’s the corporate Dems probably got payed out by the billionaire.
