Mitch fucking McConnell

[mongo18]

Here's good ole mitch standing in the way of Americans getting the help that pretty much everyone but a handful of rich republican senators agrees they need:

Fuck this guy. It should be legal to just slap Kentuckians in the face any time you feel like it for as long as mcconnell is in the senate.

Thanks Mitch. The citizens of the United States really appreciate it.

Gotta hand it to mitch, it can't be easy to become the most hated man in America at this point in history.

And he's proud of it.

"There's no realistic path to quickly pass the senate" for $2000 relief checks. How stupid does he think everyone is? He could have passed it yesterday. We can all see that you're the one tying it to your freedom-ending agenda, nobody else.

i do have to agree with Hillary Clinton on this.. Senate Minority Leader McConnell does have a nice ring to it.

He's going to have to vote on all those bills he's been blocking and hopefully watch a whole bunch of them pass! The engine slowly chugs back to life.

Man, I hope the dems are able to show the US the effects of a working government in less than 2 years.

 

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

The only issue is that certain things require 60 votes to pass. That might be a problem.

 

[mongo18]

Yeah, it's not enough for Biden to write his own tickets. But at least now every bill that the house passes will get a vote. To quote a modern day leader, that's a "big fucking deal."

Could Mitch really vote to convict Trump? https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/537337-mcconnell-congratulates-cheney-attempted-ouster-house-gop

I personally doubt it, but he is the highest-profile Republican calling out the Loony majority of his party.

If he calculates that it helps his own grip on power, I don't think there's any line for mitch. He'll do whatever it takes.

The 'suspense' is over. In the end, Mitch was okay with the Big Lie and January 6th.

The bar for impeachable behavior is now gone. There is none. This sets the precedent that the President is above the law and beyond accountability.

Not surprising, still disappointing. I still take heart from the fact that democrats at least seem to have finally caught on that it's all out war, they finally figured out that they can't trust republicans to do anything moral or ethical and need to plan accordingly.

The Senate Minority Leader today:
"There's no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things."

He then stated: “We have no power to convict and disqualify a former office holder who is now a private citizen.”

Message to future presidents: "January before you leave office is fair game for any bad behavior."

They just keep making it worse and worse.

Mitch needs to reread the old standard "How to win Friends and Influence People":

Indeed, Dale Carnegie would not be impressed.

Here's the soundbite: "Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again."

Mitch saved Trump's ass by closing the Senate until after the inauguration; Mitch provided cover to his colleagues with the 'you can't impeach a private citizen' defense.

Trump responds with a big 🖕
