Oh, FFS.
Pot, meet kettle.
I think everyone will agree the quality of Comrade Coir Coifâs KKKabinet picks are comparable to Obamaâs. (For example see: Perry, Rick.)
Kentucky, Texas (save Austin), and N. Carolina should be flushed down the toilet.
When you wind up quickly confirming sketchy people who later turn out to be criminals, will you disembowel yourself on the mall?
Why ah do declare ah believe I hate Mitch McConnell more than Trump or KellyAnn or Reince combined whom generate hate with the intensity of 1000 suns
He is a waste of oxygen and would benefit greatly from a smite by the superior being of your choice.
Thatâs right progressives, grow up! Did you really expect so-called conservatives (i.e., reactionaries) to be consistent? Did you expect intellectual honesty? Did you expect any kind of honesty at all? What is it with you people?
Biden said it better.
Well, McConnell was singing a different tune in 2009. This is what he wrote to Harry Reid:
Mitch McConnell to Reid in 2009: nominee âfinancial disclosures must be complete⌠prior 2hearing being scheduled.â
Pretty rich coming from a man who orchestrated an 8-year temper tantrum.
The Dems cannot let such attacks pass. The Republicans will ride thuggery as far as it will take them.
We confirmed seven cabinet appointments the day President Obama was sworn in.
Well, yeah. Not a week and a half before he was sworn in.
And there is that matter of qualifications. And conflicts of interest come to mind.
The Senate record books
Fox News (they kept a hearings schedule)
Re: that Fox News schedule
The questions that needs to be answered is- âDid everyone on either the 13th or the 15th have their ethics paperwork in?â and âWas that OGE paperwork completed on time?â
Out of the Trump picks with confirmation hearings scheduled, ethics forms have been submitted for attorney general nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions, secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson, defense secretary nominee James Mattis and transportation secretary nominee Elaine Chao, according to the Associated Press.
These three have hearings this week and Sessions has already been called out for omitting information.
Grow up? I say throw up, Mitch. Remember Merrick GarlandâŚwhy not refuse to consider ANY of Trumpâs nominations for his entire first year (he needs some experience in governing after allâŚ). Alternatively, we could just wait until after Trumpâs impeachment - why not let Pence start with a clean slate?
Translation: âPLEEEEEEASE!â Welcome to what happens when youâre on the receiving end. Iâll enjoy watching you age into dust.
Yertle really is big on the double standard, isnât he? He spent eight years in his shell, refusing to cooperate when in the minority and throwing up every conceivable road block (as well as inventing a couple of new ones) when in the majority. Now that he is in the majority with an incoming President who belongs to his Party he wants to restore everything to normal order.
It doesnât work that way, Yertle. In government, informal understandings and norms are as important as written rules. When all that gets tossed out, there is a new normal. Welcome to the New Normal, Yertle.
Trumpâs globalist billionaires must have their paperwork in order, Senator McConnell. We need to ensure they are serving the American public and not lining their pockets by working for Russia. Are you afraid we will discover some of them really arenât on our side?
Weâll âgrow upâ when you stop lying Mitch. â We confirmed seven cabinet appointments the day President Obama was sworn in. 'âŚand how many of THOSE had all their papers in and approved? I guess you FORGOT that little nugget.
I wish I could post what I would like to see happen to Turtle McConnell, but Iâm sure it would get me in trouble. Scumbag.
Nah. Heâll just contradict himself and lie in precisely the same monotonous deadpan that he always uses. This lead from a recent VOX profile on the Great Obstructionist:
A few things are curiously missing from the Mitch McConnellâElaine Chao Archives at the University of Louisville. At an exhibit designed to celebrate the Senate majority leader and his wife, thereâs almost no mention of any bills McConnell has authored in his 32 years in the Senate. Thereâs virtually nothing about the people heâs helped, nothing to highlight courageous speeches made on the Senate floor.
Instead, McConnellâs exhibit almost entirely pays homage to the elections heâs won â for high school student government; for Louisville county executive; for his first election to the Kentucky Senate; for his reelection bids to the US Senate.
I dislike the junior senator from Kentucky much less than the senior senator.
Hey there are also a few places in NC that shouldnât be flush and Iâll assume KY.
