I would expect this from McConnell. He owns the shutdown.
In fact he is de-facto president
To paraphrase @irasdad, I will crawl over bloody broken glass to be in attendance when this guy has his date with the Trebutine®.
Don’t forget, McConnell’s #1 job is to ensure that only the super-wealthy can influence government.
That calls for disenfranchising voters, changing election law so that the wealthy can purchase elections, and changing the rules of government so that unelected rich folks have effective veto power over any government action.
Millions of federal workers with the day off to vote (in those states that don’t allow early voting)?
In McConnell’s paranoid mind, this would allow millions of democrats to hit the polls on their day off!
It’s actually pretty simple, Mitch. The more people that vote, the better. I know you’re so over Democracy, but that’s what it’s about.
Those are his “American People”…all 75,000 of them.
Just. Shut. Up.
Mitch’s problem with his attempt at winning the “Largest Asshole in America” Cup is his inability to Twitter correctly and he hasn’t tried to fuck, as far as we know, most women, including family members.
“Just what America needs, another paid holiday and a bunch of government workers being paid to go out and work for I assume our folks—our colleagues on the other side, on their campaigns,” McConnell said. “This is the Democrat plan to restore democracy? A brand-new week of paid vacation for every federal employee who would like to hover around while you cast your ballot?”
This pervert (isn’t that Uncontrolled Evil?) should generate 500 posts on this article alone.
Because people who work for a living obviously all vote for Dems and that’s a scary thought for us in the GOP.
Really, there doesn’t seem to be any other way to interpret that comment.
“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy,” argues David Frum.
A brand-new week of paid vacation for every federal employee who would like to hover around while you cast your ballot?”
Did this horrid, lying sack of excrement really just claim, on the floor of the Senate, that this plan calls for a “week” off for federal workers? Did he really just say that?
Jesus H Christie on a spring-loaded pogo stick, talk about going for the big lie.
Everybody should just find a Russian Sugar Daddy like Mitch did, & you wouldn’t need a day off to vote.
Didn’t we fight World War II to get rid of people like this?
Just this last shot (I do not wish to be a thread monopolizer).
Truly abnormally evil people can often hide among us and their cruelty can be masked as “tactician”, “horse trader”, “a real character” , etc.
Until a moment such as this.
By the author of actual human (Shutdown-inducing) deaths having the nerve to be flippantly sarcastic. The only people laughing would be wannabe devils
Well if is just a paid holiday for federal workers, I have a problem with it too.
It should be a holiday for all workers…
It said the day off would be:
“the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November in 2020,”
Not quit sure what that means, but am pretty sure it won’t give Fed. employees a lot of time to go work for the opposition. Really, this is what you have to worry about?
Nobody ever said McConnell was in favor of making voting easy.
