Republican Members of Congress Emulate Maverick in "Top Gun"

You remember the brave, skilled and patriotic Tom Cruise playing Maverick in the movie Top Gun. His flying exploits remind me of the Republicans in the House and the Senate.  Maverick engaged with the enemy in deadly combat and put his life at risk to serve his country. It was amazing to watch Mav dodge bullets, evade deadly missiles and defy strict orders in order to accomplish his mission.  He was courageous and his exploits were heroic.

Republicans in Congress behave exactly like Maverick.  NO, not like the brave Maverick in Top Gun 2 who puts his own life at risk to save his wingman.  NO, not like the fearless Maverick who disobeyed orders and flew faster than Mach 10 and asked for a glass of water.  NO, not like the valiant Maverick in Top Gun 2 who successfully completed a dangerous mission against impossible odds.

I was thinking more like Maverick in the first Top Gun movie.  You remember Mav near the end of the movie when sh-t was hitting fan, everyone was sweating profusely  and his buddies were getting shot up and shot down by 6 enemy Migs.  Pilots were crying for help and Maverick who arrived late to the party, was paralyzed by fear and quit the fight.  His panicked buddies screamed in anger and disgust, “Maverick is disengaging!”

Republicans in Congress are paralyzed by fear and have done nothing, zilch, nada for the last 18 months.  When Trump left Washington, he sucked all of the courage out of the town and took it with him.  The Republicans have disengaged and quit the fight.  Most of them have morphed into a smack of spineless jellyfish.
