Trump is a mentally unstable bully – but his spell has been broken; The past week has shown the US president to be mindblowingly corrupt, writes Alan Rusbridger. But where his fellow Republicans once acquiesced, they are finally showing some spine to stand up to him

It’s not enough to stand up to him, he should be impeached and removed from office because clearly, he is not fit to lead
“They are finally showing some spine to stand up to him”
Lmao it won’t change anything
Impeach
Convict
Imprision
they’ve “shown a spine” about fifty times before and then immediately folded so i’ll believe it when i actually see it
They’re a day late and a dollar short growing that backbone
>…his fellow Republicans once acquiesced, they are finally showing some spine to stand up to him
Performance art, pushback off the record, and acting grumpy behind the scenes is not “standing up” by a long fucking shot.
Lmao they’re just trying to get sound bites for midterms, give me a fucking break
Unless they remove him and imprison him, then they don’t have spine.
No they’re fucking not. Say that when he’s impeached and removed, as he should’ve been years ago.
Trump is still a free man, there’s no spine.
Wishful thinking. The man is a symptom of something inherently corrupt, broken, within us. If it weren’t him, it’d be someone else, as we may see soon enough.
I hate to be pessimistic, but after so many interactions and observations with/of his followers and colleagues, I’d call it realism.
Is the spine in the room with us?
I’m sorry, but that corruption goes back literally half a century or more
The rats will all stay on the ship until it sinks and thereafter deny everything they previously supported.
I see a similar headline like every week yet nothing seems to actually change 🤷🏻♀️
Sure they are
Was running away from a war powers resolution vote showing spine? Nobody is showing spine.
Has a single elected Republican called for his impeachment? No??
There is no difference between republicans and maga or maga and trump. They’re fascists and traitors. Cut from the same cloth and bent on destroying the country
Don’t get it twisted. The Republicans who have “shown a spine” are either retiring (Tillis, McConnell), lost their primaries (Cassidy, Massie), or are set to lose their primary (Cornyn). Every other Republican wants to keep their job.
They’re only showing “spine” because he’s primaring them
This article is bullshit. The only Republicans who are actively speaking out against Trump are the ones who don’t have to worry about elections anymore. And that’s been true ever since he took office.
Driving to work, busting may ass,
knowing I have to pay for corrupt ass trump stealing my tax money.
I can’t afford gas, or food, or medicine.
Revolutions start this way.
*”Give me liberty or give me death.- Patrick Henry”*
At some point they have to want to avoid prison more than keeping their job
His entire administration needs to be impeached and prosecuted. The 2 Billion fraud is beyond anything imaginable in scale and quality of corruption.
Rats fleeing a sinking ship aren’t showing a spine. They are corrupt cowards running to save theit own sin. Don’t flip it like these guys grew a pair . They did not.
Is this spine in the room with us?
Heard that one before, I’ll believe it when I see it.
He’s still at 34%. Might not sound like a lot but every one of those 34% are Republicans primary voters. As long as they need Trump to win a primary and can cheat on redistricting nothing else matters to them.
If a toothpick is a spine then yes.
Are they “showing some spine” though?
First off I don’t think I’ll ever see a Republican with a spine, morals or integrity and second too little too late
Not enough
“Spine” doing a lot of heavy lifting here, isn’t it
Might be a bit premature to say the Republicans are showing spine. They haven’t done anything meaningful yet.
No they’re not.
I’ll believe it when I see it
>> finally showing some spine
is this “spine” in the room with us..?
“We got him now!”
Jesus these headlines are insufferable
If they had a backbone, they wouldn’t sit there anymore… all just actors… everyone wants to get rid of the king but no one wants to take the important step
Really? Have any of the people in the Epstein files been indicted? No? Alrighty, then, that says everything about GOP “spine”.
