Anyhoo…Just wanted to say that it truly is BREAKING NEWS whenever McConnell decides to say something that makes even the least bit of sense…but then he went ahead and said this,

“one thing I thought you guys had learned was I am pretty good about not answering questions I don’t want to answer.”

Ah yes, back to the old Mitch. The world is still in its proper place in the universe and all can sleep well tonight. The guy is still a hack and an idiot.

“one thing I thought you guys had learned was I am pretty good about not answering questions I don’t want to answer”

Which is how he refused to answer about what it said about Trump that he had to be reminded to condemn violence

I admit I had to look that one up…

Reminds me of the scene in “High Plains Drifter” when the coward sheriff comes to ask Clint about the three men he just killed. Clint says to him : “What you mean to say is there’s no charges”…and the sheriff meekly agrees with him.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating
its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your
help. But you’re not helping.

Please Dems, for once…don’t help the tortoise.

As an aside, McConnell has a face only a mother could love…

Trump: The Turtle is a traitor. He is married to a Chinese and has moved our business to the land of his in-laws. We will continue on our path to kill and take back the great, White USA.

31

Nope, just Kentuckian.

Who does Clara Petacci come back as? Melania?

Breaking news, a Republican leader displays signs of sanity, still not answering questions he doesn’t like.

TPM:

“He called me,” McConnell said in an afternoon press conference Tuesday. “I mentioned to him that I thought it would be a good idea for him, no matter who starts these violent episodes, to condemn it and discourage it.”

Hey, Mitch, while you’re sticking your testudinal neck out, why don’t you worry about the current president rather than whoever is next, and and fucking commit to hold hearings for President Obama’s SCOTUS nominee.

“I believe that the candidates ought to be discouraging, no matter who starts the fight,” McConnell said.

Trust me, Mitch, the GOP’s candidates are always discouraging.

35

From a state that cares more about horses than people.

36

Even Peter the Paramecium is perplexed as to how he will ever limbo under that bar.

wink, wink…nudge, nudge

   "one thing I thought you guys had learned was I am pretty good about not answering questions I don't..... have an answer to."

“I mentioned to him that I thought it would be a good idea for him, no matter who starts these violent episodes, to condemn it and discourage it.”

Citing long-standing precedent, Trump replied that he thought it best to wait until after the November election, so the voters can decide.

I am wondering whether Mitch McConnell is being duplicitous as usual. Several news organizations have reported that Mitch McConnell is launching a movement to smear and attack Trump and his supporters and has recruited some of his antediluvian Senate cronies and associates.
