“The American people will be able to make that decision in the fall.” (Bitch McConnell - KY Senator)
And make no mistake – by and large, the American voter is nothing like today’s GOP primary voter.
What were those talking points again? Oh yeah.
- Duck
- Dive
- Dodge
- Uh, Die?
And yet, and yet, if this was Hilary spewing this kind of hate, McConnel would be all over it, like a turtle on lettuce.
Every day this great fat turd shows the total absence of ethics and concern for the country. I guess anyone who is a whore to the NRA for nearly a million dollars cannot be trusted to do anything for the good of the country.
To say I hate him with the intensity of a thousand suns would be an understatement.
I have never wished a man ill but good people die every day and this waste of human blood continues to walk and talk.
I wish he didn’t look so much like a turtle. I love turtles. One of my favorites is the spider turtle in Madagascar … beautiful markings. If we don’t watch it, they’ll soon be extinct. Damn you, Bitch McConnell – why aren’t you doing more to support preserving the natural environment for your counterparts (in looks only, cause there’s little about you–that I can see–that’s beautiful or worth preserving).
Short answer: “No I don’t think he’s qualified.” It’s basically the same parsing of words that gets you support but not endorse.
A non-answer is at least as good as an answer. Sometimes even better.
Kentucky Turtle: Qualified or not, I want Trump to pick Supreme Court nominee. He is also well deserving of control of the Nuclear Codes.
Party over country…what a dick. Just admit it, a majority of folks that voted in the Republican primary are morons, not that they had any other good choices, but still. This is a party that needs to be put to sleep or have a brain transplant.
We have a built-in swimming pool that we let revert to a natural state about 20 years ago. We were going to drain and fill it
but somehow, really can’t imagine how, hundreds of tadpoles/frogs made it their home. Then about ten years ago comes a turtle (which eats tadpoles, lurks at the bottom of the pool, and now and then climbs out to laze in the sun).
A scientist friend told me it is an immature snapping turtle but by now its shell is I’d say over 10 inches. Every time I see it poke its head out it puts me in a good mood- so yeah, ditto- I detest McConnell for ruining turtles for the rest of us.
That is a cool story – and thank you for helping those critters! I have a decent collection of turtle figurines (no cutesie ones–LOL) I started when I was just a kid. Over the years, friends and family will find a really neat one at a yard sale or other, and give it as a gift, etc. All pretty lifelike. In my youth, turtles used to migrate through our yard on their way to a creek about a mile way, over the railroad tracks and a bunch of hills. Simply beautiful creatures. Now, that partly-forested farmland has been cleared and used for the sewer treatment facility the town built about twenty years ago. It is fairly low-level land and they did need to upgrade the town’s facilities–and, luckily, this is a really good one–but I really felt for the local wildlife. Haven’t seen a turtle there in years.
I think this one will get used a lot this year:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos then told McConnell, “I didn’t hear you say whether you thought he was qualified.”
“Look, I’ll leave that to the American people to decide. You know, he won the Republican nomination fair and square. He got more votes than anybody else against a whole lot of well-qualified candidates. And so our primary voters have made their decision as to who they want to be the nominee,” McConnell replied. “The American people will be able to make that decision in the fall.”
And twice, the American people decided that Barack Obama was both qualified to be, and should be, President of the United States. And each day of Obama’s Presidency, Senator McConnell has shown utter contempt for that decision.
Wish I could figure out how to embed photos here. I have a series of the turtle emerging from water and climbing over concrete edge to get some sun.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has endorsed Donald Trump, declined twice to say whether Trump is qualified to be president during a Sunday interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
Apparently, McConnell believes that if Trump can be trained to read all his speeches from a teleprompter, speeches that someone else has written, that will mean that he’s qualified to be the President.
This fits right in with Trump’s delusion, i.e., that the Presidency involves a lot of personal appearances, and being driven around in limos. It’s just like being named Miss Universe.
Of course he didn’t answer the question directly because he is not suppose to lie according to the Bible. But, I would guess his nighttime prayers go something like this:
Dear Lord,
Please, Please, let the American people vote for Hillary Clinton in November. I can stop her doing all the things You want for poor people. But I can hold onto the Senate if you will help her win, then I can do all the things You want for the wealthy elites. But, Lord, Trump will cost me my ability to stop this country from moving forward with GOP’s actual agenda because he will cost us the Senate.
So,Please, PLEASE, let Hillary win in November. Now, if you could stop the journalists from asking all these pesky questions as well, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Lord, for all the blessings I am going to receive when Hillary is President. Amen.
Of course, you can use your own definition of who his “Lord” actually is.
