The scaredy-cats who run the Republican Cowardly Congressional Caucus have put the word out.<\/p>\n

The word to GOP members of Congress is: Do not conduct any more town hall meetings in your congressional districts because your constituents are too angry with Donald Trump and his sidekick Elon Musk.<\/em><\/p>\n

To a person, the RCCC members seem to be following the dictates of the cowards who tell them how high to jump.<\/p>\n

GOP members have been getting snootfuls from their constituents angry over the massive budget slashing, the firing of inspectors general, the gutting of USAID capabilities around the world and Trump’s abandoning of Ukraine as it seeks to defend against the invaders from Russia.<\/p>\n

Trump this week announced the suspension of all military aid to Ukraine … while it is in the middle of a bloody ground war against the Russian army. Why? Because Trump thinks he’ll be able to get a better deal for the Russians if the Ukrainians are rendered incapable of killing thousands more Russian troops.<\/p>\n

It is a load of pure horsesh** that Trump is peddling. Make no mistake that the congressional cowards’ constituents know a monumental betrayal of a valuable ally when they see one.<\/p>\n

And they are witnessing one now in real time being orchestrated by the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

What the GOP cowards do not seem to appreciate is that the Constitution’s guarantee of free speech allows for anyone to protest the government. It does not restrict these town halls just to audiences friendly to the political party in power. “Representing all the people”<\/em> means precisely what the phrase states explicitly.<\/p>\n

Therefore, all the people deserve to have their voices heard.<\/p>\n

Especially when it makes the men and women in power squirm.<\/p>\n\n
