Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy clash during closed-door GOP meeting

Lobster Nanny51

Until the GOP files articles of impeachment, holds hearings, convicts and removes him, it's just criminals in his gang aiding and abetting Trump, regardless of their words.

Finally Cassidy found a spine. Still waiting for spurned John Cornyn to do the same but he never will.

WhiteUnderbabiedAmericanCat33

There is no “deal.” Trump’s personal lawyer does not get to give him (and his “extended family” AND every tangentially-related business) a blanket pardon for every federal crime they’ve committed. Impeach Roberts, btw.

Don Comer27

Trump corrupt deal is an attempt to steal $ billions from our treasury to pay pardoned criminals & other cronies.

stephthethird.bsky.social19

Legislating immunity for tax crimes is exactly what a person who is extremely guilty of tax crimes would do.

CoachKK17

Is his base really this dumb? Cuz the rest is us are not!!

Susan Kramer Esq.15

That 'deal' is crooked and just a "get out of jail free' card for the Trumps. We already know they're committing crimes--an agreement like this is against public policy of letting crooks get away with crimes. When we have a true DOJ again, the amount of crimes to be charged will be breathtaking.

Lolo #Resist #NoKings #Protest #LoveYourNeighbor13

Republicans need to stand up to Trump and get rid of him. They'll be better off in the long run. Shame they gave up their spines for a pedo. The truth will set you free!

Amy Oddo✌🏻💙☀️12

#DumpTrump Plus, still a pedophile!

Charlie Mack12

Did the clear signs on dementia in the Orange Clown finally reach a number adequate enough to tip a scale? 🙄

Good, now vote with D's for remainder of term and go out with some dignity!

Ringo Burns7

How can an acting AG make such a decision as if it becomes law? The potus sued his own government for 10 billion then dropped the case himself. The whole thing is a sham.

Jay7

The only reason this isn't completely laughable is this administration is already so corrupt. No credible legislative body would pass this, no judicial branch would uphold it, no future executive branch under Dems would obey it. It is only remotely possible at this moment because of Mike Johnson.

Peter Liepmann6

Fascinating to read the exchanges here. Trump endorses Rep Senator's OPPONENT in primary, and TFFG can't figure out why he no longer has his vote! Also Senators talking about Trump as if this is all business as usual, not a rolling coup while Trump loots the Treasury.

Inmanis THE bull6

such weak shit. “oh we sent a sternly worded memo asking politely for answers on the massive corruption deal going on” spineless, toothless bullshit

SheiSho5

Though no one should ever think kind thoughts about Bill Cassidy as he's done terrible terrible things, I do have to say I'm here for his DGAF burn-it-all-down finale.

Sydney Carton5

The fact that any govt agency, let alone the IRS, would give shitler & Co. this deal perfectly illustrates how utterly corruptible our government institutions are.

cfenfen.bsky.social4

Another crack in the wall...

Ghost of Lepa Radić4

This deal will be void the second the senile trouser-soiling former game show host is removed from office. Blanche should go to prison for authorizing it.

"Do Not Obey In Advance" and "Don't give into the Lies"4

I voted for Bill Cassidy in 2020 when I lived in Louisiana. I regretted that vote when he allowed RFK Jr to move forward to confirmation. Hopefully, he goes out with a bang.

Puckster4

I won’t believe, forget or support any of the spineless, classless & useless Republicans who stood by w/o resistance to this vile piece of dung Trump. They’re as responsible as he is for what has happened. It is good to see a D & an R work together, but I won’t forget what the GOP have supported.

Klemmie 🐬4

🤭 I’m loving the bipartisan attempt to intervene; that’s an excellent start! I expect that, if there is any response at all, it will be based on deflection, indirect answers, and blame-passing. But the glimmer of hope rests in the unity of the request: United we stand, divided we fall. #NeverGiveUp

Jane Roe Has Hope - Pro-choice Adoptee4

If nothing else, maybe the Republicans are fucking petty and vengeful enough to decide it’s payback time.

Itsmevicki3

It's interesting how courageous they become when they are on the way out.

Grandma Janet3

The pedophile finally annoyed them. The'll be back kissing his ass tomorrow.

GuitarGirlNYC3

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Liz Barry3

Good on them. But strongly worded letters or memos don't seem to work, do they. Being disbarred and losing his law license would be a whole lot more effective. Blanche has no business being confirmed as AG. I hope he's soundly rejected.

La Contessa2

Who are these people and what have they done with the republicans 🤣

Thibault2

So after a heated exchange, they… wrote a memo? Like a strongly worded letter? I mean, is this what we’re supposed to be hopeful about? I think either we’ve lost the plot, or the bar for pushback is on the ground.

Bryan Maday2

NOTHING will happen. Stop falling for it over and over.

Christine2

Good. Some gumption! Or maybe just deciding to do his job I’m not enabled criminals in sex offenders!

TheSurlyShirley 🐸🐸💙💙2

Cassidy has zero fucks to give.

masterjost.bsky.social2

Pardoning yourself for future crimes is not constitutional. This isn’t complicated.

Mid TN Blue Dot2

Cassidy is finding a spine!

The Salon Group NYC138

So, this is what happens when you’re free from having to run again for office? Kinda makes the push for term limits.

littlenomad56

Too little, too late, Bill Cassidy. 🤷‍♂️

Buck Frexit38

We’ll know whether this is true when we see Trumps posts at 3am

Joe Thoma IV35

If they had done that ten years ago they might still have their balls. Those that had balls back then.

Fawkes News Channel20

Another republican that suddenly found his spine after getting primaried. Tells you everything about these fascists.

Craig Roblewsky17

Sorry Bill. Too little and too late.

Mark17

Of all the many horrible things Trump did to us and still will do to us, destroying our medical and health agencies and easing the return of terrible diseases is among the worst. Cassidy had unique combo of political power and medical background to stop RFK and his shit in its tracks. He failed us

Gayle Dourn Plantz16

Trump is calling the doj tomorrow to open an investigation into Cassidy...

Tacos In Denver 🌮🏔️14

He should try a strongly worded letter! 👍🏻

brendanamartin.bsky.social10

Too late to hop off, Hopalong.

Annie 🐸🐸🐸10

Let Bill go on Fox, CBS, & other right wing outlets & say that.

It’s like handing the keys to a toddler then ripping the kid for being a sh$&ty driver….

Head in a Bottle9

Did this dude lose his primary or announce his retirement???

slidvendetta9

If there was only something Congress could have done to prevent this from happening?

Dr Robin8

Bravo! I hope Bill Cassidy continues to hold Trump’s tiny feet to the fire. Make him explain why. He owes us all answers. And show those spineless ninnies in the GOP how it should have been done.

SlapAss McClanahan8

Bites his tongue through the child-rapist stuff but this Iran thing really got him up on his hind legs

Ray Design7

Then join Democrats to impeach him. Otherwise, youre not a serious person.

lazrrocketarm.bsky.social6

Sure. I bet he did.

milominder6

Cassidy got angry because 'of the Irish in me'. Striking how tedious immigrant-hating GOP twats are always more than happy to bore us all about their own immigrant roots.

Susanne 25th for 476

Lol, Cassidy lost his temper.

Kevo6

Back it up with legislation or stfu Bill.

GOP party of LOW T

Michael B Lehrhoff5

It has just dawned on Bill Cassidy - and Susan Collins, I’m sure - that Trump is a lying, narcissistic prick???🙄

Hold My Beer ❌👑🐸🇲🇽🇨🇦4

Hahaha!!! I actually can't even imagine Dr. Cassidy losing his temper. Shit gets real when your own butt/job isn't on the line anymore. Fuck it I'll take it.

🕊️ ✨ MomsRobin 🧬 🐾 🏈 ⚾️ 🔵 🇺🇸 🇺🇦🇬🇱4

Regrowth of a spine only occurs after they’ve lost their power. It’s beyond pathetic! If he still had power he wouldn’t give a shit!!!

Dennisjleise4

Amazing where these spines come from when Midterms are in the air....

kenofseattle4

EVERYBODY needs to be reading Trump the RIOT Act daily and SHOUT HIM DOWN when he complains about it!! That's PRECISELY what we pay these people to do!!

Evan R. MS, CSCS3

Cassidy fucking sucks, yet I’m glad this drama happen

Lalo Steensland3

Did and said nothing when it mattered. I hope they fight to the death and the winner spontaneously combusts

Jase3

How was he going to be clear when he had no understanding himself? Cassidy helped put this man in charge and has refused to hold him accountable. If it wasn't for people like Cassidy, trump would be in jail.

Ron Dorland ©️🇺🇸🇺🇦3

The last reasonable thing Graham said 10 years ago before he turned Nazi. I've had fingers crossed for years.

🇨🇦 andyrogers.bsky.social 🇨🇦3

“Not being clear with Congress.” LOL.

rObPreuSS🐾💡✌🏻🔥🎹2

ooooh BERATED. gettin' serious. 🙄

Mars2

But but but Bill.....you wouldn't have done this before you lost your election.

Diversity Triceratops2

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

hikercat.bsky.social2

Bill Cassidy knew exactly what was going on from day one in Iran. Bill Cassidy, you can't rid yourself of the stench from voting to support every inhuman policy this admin has put forward. You can't clean your reputation. Damage is done. People have died & are dying; all results of your cowardice

Kelley2

A pattern presents. Going forward, if you don’t do your job until you’re on your way out, it’s called “GOPing.”

Roya Azimzadeh 🔵2

It’s so sad they have to lose their jobs first before growing a spine but hey I’ll take it.

bad futa2

everyone hates an incompetent mfer

Jedi Master Wise2

To little to damn late. Everything is all jacked. After the kid played with matches burned the house down now you wanna get angry? You should have taken the matches..

Michael Corthell2

Cassidy’s frustration is understandable. Decisions involving war demand transparency, lawful congressional oversight, and a clearly defined strategy. When even members of the president’s own party feel misled, it signals a serious breakdown in accountability that should concern every American.

nonessentialworker.bsky.social2

Amazing how they grow a brass pair AFTER they're no longer running for reelection.

daviedoall.bsky.social2

It about freaking time that someone in the GOP told him off. I look forward to more,,,

Chris2

Amazing how the GOP grow spines as they are leaving office.

MadGreek 🧿2

MAGA, I can see the cracks...

Straight of Whore Moose2

As if Trump would even care in the slightest.

SafeAmericaPAC2

Can't wait for the Trump midnight meltdown tweets tonight!

Fries Andersen25

The only reason they are upset with him, is because they know he will cost them control of the House and Senate. They could always get rid of this SOB, but they are just complicit cowards.

Alice in Absurdistan19

If more of Cassidy's colleagues had done more of this earlier on, maybe we wouldn't be here now. Meh.

Nationalize America Party14

Sen Cassidy, you get zero-points for bravery this late in the game.

Moderate Jerk9

Cassidy is pretending to have a spine a bit too late for it ti matter.

this is Al6

It was such a great country for most of my life. The younger crowd will never know how good we had it. Good luck everyone.

Mind Unguent5

God I love this. Let them tear each other apart.

🌸Ms. M6794🌸5

Always find their spine after losing a primary.

Lester Diamond5

These clowns can only find their balls once their reelection prospects have dried up it’s seems. Fuck Cassidy. If he had any heart or spine he’d leave the GOP and caucus with the Democrats for the remainder of his term.

KarenMoonGoddess3

Calling someone who is obviously not a lunatic a lunatic by a man who is obviously a lunatic is so on brand for the 🍊💩🤡.

🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦 💪🏼👊🏼3

Cassidy is no angel but good for him!! Challenge the 🍊 🤡

Laura2

Is there a way to block his face?

Jack Straw2

This is the meeting where they cheered him as he entered?

Erin Nuttall2

Finally someone is yelling at him

Jen in Motion24

Bill Cassidy could have told RFK Jr and the pro-disease caucus to go fuck themselves and been a low-key bipartisan hero, but noooo, gotta knuckle under to Trump.

Dr. M.A. Davis17

"the man who sells his soul and gains its worth" is legion in the Trump era

Jeff Lazarus3

It's what will happen to every Republican, eventually.

Marty Taylor7

I am glad to see Cassidy grow a bit of a spine but his legacy will be one of causing harm and death to millions by voting to confirm RFK Jr and his full throated support of Elon Musk’s DOGE. Deadly decision by a doctor who knew what his vote would do.

Wine is my muse5

Too little, too late. The nation will always remember he allowed RFK, the lesser to destroy the health of the country. Cassidy violated both of his oaths...as a senator and as an MD. It doesn't mean he wasn't correct today. It means his legacy is his failure to the right thing when it counted

Cami 🐸Truth Matters💙Good Troublemaker💙No DMs🚫No Posts=No Follow🚫4

Oh to be a 🪰 on the wall

L S D4

Yeah, he’s a lunatic, but he’s still president because republicans are greed diseased assholes who can’t even draw a line in the sand at kid rape. Keep yelling guys, that’s helpful.

Rick Alexander ⚖️ ☮️ 🔭🇺🇦🇨🇦3

The spine grew only after he was voted out of office thanks in large part to the Orange Menace. The vocal lame ducks will cause the menace some grief until the end of the year.

Jenny Gattone16

Oh NOW he found his balls.

dave0953.bsky.social8

...they'd better start uniting AGAINST trump. The people - are uniting against the republican party.

Me WiseMagic 🎸5

If he had not lost his primary, his nose would still be stuck up Trump's ass. Cassidy is my Senator. I had an issue with the VA over my diabetes medication in 2024. I complained to him about it. Cassidy told me to "suck it up". Don't try to make this asshole a hero.

Gavin Blair4

Everything trump says is a lie Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

danaleighr.bsky.social3

Funny thing about the housing bill is if trump doesn't sign it or veto it, it will pass after 10 days. Trump doesn't have to do anything.

Doug Warren2

Cassidy attended four years of medical school to become a prostitute.

babapa133.bsky.social2

He’s only a year late. But good try.

Mary4

Now the GOP itself is going to try to launder their image because they know they have lost power. If Mamdani's influence as a Democratic Socialist is winning seats....Texas will follow the trend and turn Blue.

Marty Taylor4

Maybe Cassidy is finally waking up to just how much damage Trump is doing to our country and the world. Trump fucked Bill Cassidy and now I hope Cassidy does the same to him

𝕊𝕒𝕝𝕥𝕪𝔹𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕤3

The “Irish” has been up tRump’s backside. Maybe someone will actually swing on him. Yeah, I doubt it.

commonfence.bsky.social2

I am not impressed even a little bit by Republicans who waited until Trump is a lame duck to speak up.

rebeccaswh.bsky.social2

Where has that guy been?

USMC862

sorry bill- too late trying to display your "courage".... that ship sailed when you decided to confirm kennedy.

Democracy Matters!2

I guess the Irish has been busy fighting the English all this time.

Libby Justice10

Woo hoo. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has finally, belatedly found his big boy pants.

proud rebel scum ⚛️5

poor little Pinocchio, he turned into a real boy too late.

Kim5

Too little too late and not enough Republicans give a damn about anyone but themselves.

NonViolet5

Imagine if everyone was honest with Trump. Imagine if every single person he encountered just told him the plain truth 100% of the time. He'd probably have a massive breakdown within a week.

1-940.bsky.social5

Day late and dollar short but still worth 2 bits

Stellar Dude2

Now we just need some of the others that aren’t up for election or been primaried to grow a pair and stand up to the 🍊💩

Mike Wagner2

I think that is called the bravery of being out of range.

lawknep.bsky.social2

Profile in courage would be doing that before you left the senate

mlmcg.bsky.social2

Now he can right the horrible wrong he inflicted on the American people and do everything in his power to crush RFK Jr and reverse everything he’s done and doing to USA and global world health

Thıs2

The perfect retort from Cassidy would have been “yes, and you know something about losing an election, don’t you?”
