Congressional Republicans are terrified that Trump may treat them the way he treats everyone else

DailyKos

Congress is seriously doing business out of fear that their names might appear in a tweet.

The thing that should be reassuring Congress they can withstand the stubby fury of Trump’s Twitter finger is exactly how often he fires off those snotty, Putin-coddling snippets. It’s. Just. Constant. And the more Trump uses it, the less potent it becomes. Like the buzz of mosquitoes in summer, it’s always there. Background noise.

Congress can swat him when they want by actually denying him one of his treasured bits of nonsense. Or, the next time Trump fumbles out his greasy, aging, unsecured phone, people could simply laugh off his entirely laughable attacks. However, that would require Congress to act with a trace of dignity and just a modicum of spine. In other words: highly unlikely.

Everyone emailed or snail mail to their republican reps
pictures of a chicken

If they put any text it could be simply something short and sweet like
"Your chicken of that man"
