Hoo boy, we’re in for a manic monologue tonight. Strap in and hang on tight, kids.

(Bonus: there’s a new SNL this week.)

@inversion I guess McConnell considers Lindsey a Democrat now.

I just love this idea , that after three months (December,January and February) that the budget is now a bipartisan joint.

“There is more to our government than just defense,” he added.

Considering how much our standing in the world has deteriorated in the last five weeks, we probably need to at least triple the defense budget.

And if diplomats and embassy personnel overseas get killed because of State Department budget cuts, who will Trump blame?

And who will we investigate? Besides Hillary, that is.

Translation via the GOPerTron 5000 De-Babelizer:

“For the love of God, you Democrats pleeeeease bail me out here!”

Because Yertle has always worked across the aisle…what a load of crap, but I expect nothing less from this hypocrite. I really despise McConnell, but he’s got a lot of competition for the honor of being the most detestable Republican member of Congress.

“There is more to our government than just defense,” he added. "Congress will make their voice known on this. The middle-of-the-road people want to see government work.”

Whoa. That’s unusual!

This is a Republican…from Idaho…

Democratic response: Go Cheney yourself

What the hell does McConnell mean daring to lecture about how budgeting is done?!

Trump won the election and he is so honored!! How many times are you going to hold the presidential election?! He won in I think all of the states! I am not even sure it was limited to just 50 Stares, the victory was so historically gigantic! So honored!!
