For those of us who have been trying to awaken people to the true nature of Republicans in the senate, aka “the Decepticons”, the latest self-admissions are very welcome.
According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter. These very specifically named Republicans have always been members of the UniParty in DC; however, now they are saying “populism” amid the commonsense, America First voting base is not going to be acceptable.
The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats. There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.
What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people. This is just not going to be allowed according to Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, John Cornyn and the other names outlined.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.
“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added. “I think it’s going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates.
[…] “There are an astonishing number of people in my state who believe the election was stolen,” said one Republican senator who requested anonymity to talk about the growing popularity of conservative conspiracy theories at home.
[…] Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
A second Republican senator who spoke with The Hill said the growing strength of radical populism “makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents.”
“There are people who surprise me — I’m surprised they have those views. It’s amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen,” the lawmaker said. “I don’t want to use this word but it’s not just a ‘red-neck’ thing. It’s people in business, the president of a bank, a doctor.”
[…] Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) pushed back on calls to defund the Justice Department, telling reporters: “Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea.”
Thune later explained to The Hill: “There are seasons, swings back and forth in politics and we’re in one now where the dominant political thinking is more populist with respect to national security, foreign policy, some domestic issues.”
But he said “that stuff comes and goes and it’s built around personalities,” alluding to the broadly held view that Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016 and his lasting influence over the party has put his brand of populism at the forefront.
[…] Senate Republicans tried to wave off their House colleagues from advancing articles of impeachment authored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) against President Biden and rolled their eyes at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) attempt to expunge Trump’s impeachment record.
Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) warned, “I fear that snap impeachments will become the norm, and they mustn’t.”
Asked about efforts to erase Trump’s impeachment record, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) quoted the popular show “Succession”: “Logan Roy made a good point. These are not serious people.” (read more)
LOL
Wanna know how I know “they” are losing??
I’m more concerned of Chinese Spy, Sen. Dianne Feinstein giving you the sissors technique in a Senate hallway in full public view.
Please leave you were always a Democrat and never a Conservative. You’ve stabbed conservatives in the back time after time. Alaska deserves better than you and their other Senator.
Yup. That one too.
I think it’s time to forget about left vs right or even ‘liberal v conservative’. The entire issue is ‘up vs. down’. I’m not a classic conservative. But I’m also not ‘up’ in the political/societal spectrum of things. The idea of populism extends beyond political parties.
At this point it is the people👫👬👭 👭👬👭
versus —
the corporations

Do we have a voice? 👄
Does the global-pedo-cabal already own us?
😷😷😷😷😷😷
Remember RINO Mitch funded her after the GOP citizens of Alaska said no way.
Don’t let the damn door hit you on your way out! 🚪🚾
My last vote for John Cornyn was my last vote EVER for the so-called Lesser of Two Evils.
He wasn’t the lesser. And here is the proof. Who do these people think they are to deny the will of The People?
Go ahead, become Democrats. At least that is slightly more clear even if there is very little difference.
It is encouraging to hear them be surprised that it isn’t just the peasants who are protesting but *gasp* doctors and, you know, intellectual people. Oh no! Whatever shall they do?
Cornyn has been a useless meatsack at least as far back as the Tea Party. He sniveled then and upset quite a few on the Tea Party side, then had to hold some public appearances to try make nice with them.
I suspect he knew full well the other RINO’s were going to stab them in the back.
He immediately went back to his RINO ways right after he won re-election. He must only win because he is GOPe and a useful toolbag for Mitch.
The oldest profession.
The Hookers Party

These clowns consider themselves intellectuals ! Hilarious. The French Royalty also did. We have the most ignorant, immoral, preumptious and greedy, inbred ruling class imaginable. Unfortunately the youth generally are as ignorant as Dark Ages peasants.
I thought those d-bags already were Democrats…
Demon-craps 👹💩
I hate Cornyn too and felt compelled to vote for him
He’s #2 under McConnell, he’s unfortunately not going anywhere
That is the scam: “you felt compelled to vote for him.” The illusion of choice.
I would say a democrats who tells you how they are going to destroy the country holds the high ground over a rino who lies about how they will be complicit in destroying the country.
To say this kind of attitude angers me is an understatement.
i hope ol’ RINO fake repub Lisa takes the rest of the chicken squat RINOs with her.
It’s EXTREME to love your country & want to return to the freedom our Founders wished for us?
God help them have a come to Jesus moment1 . Just like I did, they are going to need it!!

Globalist ideologues threaten to stop pretending that they ever cared for their homeland and their people. Only in their idiotic bubble could such a threat hold any meaning whatsoever. The sooner Murkowski and her asshole chums leave office, the better.
👍👍👍💲💲💲
All the RINO’s are throwing a pity party crying gallons of tears.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with “populism” or any of the other nonsense they are whining about.
It has everything to do with Trump and his poll numbers.
These idiots just sealed their fate at the ballot box and wrote the attack ads for the opposition to pummel them into obscurity.
We know Mittens is on the edge of the cliff in his state, and South Dakota will not put up with an admitted turncoat, however, Cornyn seems safe till ’26, and Murkowski doesn’t care as ranked choice elections pushed her over the finish line and turned a solid red state into purple in last years midterms.
Still its better to have an enemy in front than behind you.
When they say rank choice voting they really mean “rank”.
As in ” pee-euw” 💩
Like she ever was in the Republican party.
Get out. All of you. You’re worthless.
NeoCons came to the GOP from the Left, so their return to it should come as no surprise.
How will we know the difference if they change parties?
LOL! (But sad, really)
repealing the 17th is the only solution
Hear! Hear!
Yes.
Dear traitorous RINO Filth: Your proposal is acceptable, please proceed.
DJT really is our GOP murder weapon like that meme says, and the deployment has been successful. I believe that whatever the outcome of the current election cycle, it spells the end of the GOP as it now exists and is positioned. Populist takeover, implosion, or withering away to minor party status I cannot say, but expect change.
The problem isn’t with 80% of repubs think the election was stolen. The problem is convincing 60% of independents and a third of the dems it wasn’t.
Well…bye.
So now we learn that a whole lot of “Republican” Senators are not Republicans after all. They are democrats! Not much of a shock. One name left off of that list is that of Mitch McConnell. How many others are still scurrying around in the dark, trying not to be uncovered, like roaches in the night.
It’s really hard to believe how these “professionals” can be so utterly stupid! Nothing says your losing appeal with the voters as going out there to the press, bitching and moaning like a 10-year-old brat!
“…. Business owners, professionals, even bank managers … ” They just gave the green light to all those people who want to be America First, but were afraid (weak) of the public backlash.
We Are Winning!!!!
I have a degree from UC Berkeley … so … no … I am not a “red neck”, nor am I a follower of ephemeral personality cults. No, I actually understand what’s meant by … Of the People, By the People, and For the People … note the lack of reference to any “institutions” that have been hijacked by the UniParty to do their bidding.
There is only ONE reason politicians threaten or actually chang political Parties … survival. These turncoats believe their only chance of political survival is to switch sides. They believe the other side will produce MORE votes for them. Well, all I can say is good luck and good riddance. And … PS … thanks for finally revealing your TRUE selves … and your TRUE beliefs.
What these twits do not realize, Kenji is that the Dems will despise them more than we do. Exhibit A: Adam “The Bedheaded Crybaby” Kinzinger.
Lisa Murpigtroughski. A grifter, lier and a cheater. We detest her. Do it. I dare you.
Dear Lisa: You were censured by the Republican Party of Alaska prior to the last election. The censure was lifted after you “won” re-election due to rank choice voting, which your operatives pushed through in a deceptive ad campaign, which was the only reason you won. Trust me, no one in Alaska thinks that you are a Republican, not for a very, long time. Don’t just threaten, please, please, just switch parties now. It won’t make a difference, you vote 95% of the time with the Democrats already.
I agree with your comment! Personally I think they are saying this as a mind game play. They think we are so focused on maintaining a majority if we get one that they threaten us with switching parties. Sort of like we are going to panic and plead with them NOT to switch! I say go ahead, it’s not like you were any help playing as you were republicans, any of you. At least we’d all know now when you switch we won’t be voting for the “lesser of two evils” Run as a democrat and your political career is DONE. Actually now that they’ve open their stupid pie holes all doubt as to what they really are is exposed to all! They will lose as and R or a D.
Gee…So she wants to finally make it official? This is news? Good riddance. And Romney and his ilk can go with her. PLEASE!
They must have done some polling found out DeSantis is not a God, and they are trying to scare Republicans. Woke Senators who identify as Democrats and representatives of the people.
Bingo!
I believe the election was stolen.
Haven’t even tried to review evidence. I base my belief on my understanding of History & Human Nature generally; and Motive and Opportunity specifically—in rotting cities in swing states run by Democrats for decades–Milwaukee in Wisconsin, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, Detroit in Michigan, Atlanta in Georgia, in particular.
Black Democrats especially, who run those cities–know that elections were stolen from them after Reconstruction (they were); thus they feel justified in doing it now. Vote Reparations. History, Human Nature, Motive.
And the Covid-induced Ballot Harvesting financed by Zuckerbucks was the perfect Opportunity.
It’s hard to believe Republican Senators, even turds like Romney, can pretend be blind to the promptings of Common Sense.
The system of organized Fraud has now worked once—they got away with it; and glitches have been corrected. It is foolish to believe it won’t be used again–NO MATTER which Republican is the nominee.
This article makes me lose hope. Sundance has been right, all along. Too many of the people we have no choice but to vote for are Members of the Uni-Party.
Rush L. well explained how they stole it before his untimely passing. Rush was Mainstream, rinocrats are closet demunists. Time for them to ‘come out of the closet’.
She was never an R anyway. Good riddance.
Now, let us be done with all the pretenders. To the gallows with them all and let God sort it out.
Murkowski: “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.”
Hey Lisa, we’ll take you seriously when you take us seriously. Until then, SFTU.
Romney in particular has mental health problems. There’s something wrong with the way his brain works.
As is any socialist.
Good riddance!
This is the WAR we have been fighting from the beginning of the Tea Party. Bohner and the boys pulled this crap with us now here we go again. The people who live in those staes need to rise up and primary these traitors!
Yes lets have Succession!!
I miss Sarah Palin.
oh, they’re Republicans? Could’ve fooled me.
It’s all smoke-&-mirrors, just like pro wrestling. They’re all good drinking buddies behind the scenes. Soaking the taxpayers for everything their worth at work and living it up at the country club after hours. Over-educated snobs.
Translation: Even if you make us win the Senate we will give it back to the Democrats.
They’re Baby-killing democrats anyway….don’t let the door…..
Shades of Pauline Kael. The gal is living in a bubble. Things we don’t need are more bubbleheads.
Well they are called RINOs, Republican in name only, for a reason!
Senators of all stripes are simply puppets of our corporate-class.
We, The People must stay vigilant and steadfast against the powers and principalities whose increasingly obvious plan is to create slaves, who own nothing, but are happy.
In other words these members of the Uni-Party are saying we are all in in 1) weaponizing the government to destroy our political enemies and 2) stealing elections is fine as long as it serves our means. It’s as if they are admitting guilt while saying FU if you don’t go along we are going to knock over the checker board. This is a huge sign that they are really starting to get desperate and that is a Beautiful thing.
Populist? You mean like respecting and serving the will of the people that elected you? This anti-populist element of the Republican Party are one of the reasons We The People have our doubts about free and fair elections …
This my friend is why I refer to them as the Garbage Party.
this is good. it moves the center closer to us and makes more room for maga. cant wait to see these jerks being harrassed by the dirty dem activists.
The swamp eventually swallow all who enter. I worked hard to get a tea party conservative into an democrat held seat. He won and by term 2 was as slimy as the guy he replaced.
None of the butthurt GOP senators mentioned are real conservatives. They’ve floated to the top so all can clearly see the scum-whores they really are. I think Decepticon should stand for “DECEPTIve CONgress”. It’s not just CONservatives anymore.
Trump exposed them all as fakes and crooks
Don’t Let The Door Hit Ya……
This is a direct result of the 17th Amendment.
Prior to the 17th, Senators were elected by each respective state’s legislatures, who could also recall, to represent the State in Congress.
Post 17th, Senators were ‘elected’ by the People. This allowed for electioneering, fraud, and opened the door to influence by ‘lobbyists’ (bribes).
Now that things are out in the open, ‘their’ masks are coming off.
Murkowski has made Alaska elections so convoluted over time, easy to cheat. She has served the ‘master’ well. A person would have to be without wisdom and in complete denial, to not to see what she has done. And that photo of Feinstein backing her up against the wall, leaning in on her, was the clincher. Person’s like them sleep well at night; as they have no conscience.
Mike Pence couldn’t have said it any better.
Oh no…another strongly worded letter.
I must agree with one statement…People are wondering “Why am I in this party?”
Good riddance. Your stupid masks never concealed who you were in the first place.
Talk about out of touch with reality. Wowzer.
