Asking for a friend

What must it feel like to be a Republican member of Congress and to see this and look down at your shoes and pretend it doesn't matter and it doesn't scare you and there's nothing you can do about it anyway? https://t.co/y9bWyTEbQy

Suspend specific military funding? Hold the impeachment trial and remove?

Even if they wanted to, what could the GOP Senate do that wouldn't actually make the situation worse? (Imagine what cyber-attacks Iran could trigger the day after the removal of Trump.)

Trump is a parody of an out-of-control leader, and yet @senatemajldr McConnell makes clear his disdain for being anything other than a partisan firebrand at all costs each day he allows the nation to sink to whatever level Trump wants to take it on any given day. pic.twitter.com/tQISjoJRA1

BTW, this is what a parody of an out-if-control leader looks like:

Trump to reporters on AF1 contradicts Pompeo on Iran:

“They’re allowed to kill our people? They’re allowed to torture and maim our people, they’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people? And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn’t work that way”

The Pentagon can't give him options anymore. They have to tell him, to his face, it is an unlawful order and it will not be followed. And then we have the REAL Constitutional crisis.
