Over the past few months,pinafore eroticism captions Republicans in Congress have bravely taken on President Trump by using some of the toughest adjectives they remember from their SAT workbook.
Sure, they could theoretically take "real" action by demanding his tax returns, challenging him on his non-divestment from his businesses, or not voting for his dangerously under-qualified appointees. But why act, when you can instead vote for his entire agenda and make your meek disapproval known by bitching to Chuck Schumer in the locker room or posting Bible-based subtweets? (We see you, Marco Rubio.)
If they don't stand up for tax cuts for the 1 percent, who will?
