…will be four more years just like the last eight.

Except, without the congressional majority (or as much of one) to get in her way.

McConnell: Trump’s Personal Insults ‘Ought To Stop’

And he followed up by saying that gravity “ought to” ease up a bit. 'Cause that would be nice too.

You can’t just do whatever you want to

So ordering the Marines to storm the PGA is a no?

Is it just me, or does anyone else visualize Jon Stewart doing his Droopy Dawg impression anytime Mitch McTurtle is quoted?

That is stupid advice. 1. Insults is what got him this far. 2. What else would he talk about? Every time he tries to talk about issues, he shows how clueless he really is.

Yep, I phrased that incorrectly…

I don’t really care that much regarding supposed right-left divides.

What I care about is whether they are wrong, and that’s just a given for any conservative these days.

Always wrong, so, so wrong.

Is McConnell really suggesting that when it comes to Trump, there actually is any other discourse that has “value”?

He won and got the most votes precisely because of his propensity towards insult.

Such a thick shell on McConnell.

Hopefully better than the last eight, if Congress can turn.

[“I think he will have to operate in what I call the right-of-center world,” he McConnell. “And that includes a lot of people like Ryan, myself, and others who clearly are conservatives. The president is not a dictator in our country. You can’t just do whatever you want to, you have to work in the system. And the system in our party is right of center.”]

Trump is a demagogic fascist. There is a difference between John C. Calhoun and Adolf Hilter.

Granted, concentration-camp-type living conditions for slaves occurred in Calhoun’s South Carolina, but, for ordinary white citizens, life was not the centralized, regimented life of those living under Nazi rule one hundred years later.

In their haze of hate, ignorance and Nativism, Trump supporters are about to elect a man who is the furthest thing away from the cultural underpinnings of Alabama-born [From Wikipedia: “Mitch McConnell was born on February 20, 1942 in a hospital in Sheffield, Alabama”] Mitch McConnell, a man in the image of Calhoun whose background features a people more comfortable with (under “smaller government”) lynchings for “lesser people” than regimented totalitarian control of the general population as a whole. I will repeat that:

Regimented Totalitarian Control of the General Population as a Whole.

This means that McConnell’s candidate for President–should he be elected–has an excellent probability of flying of the handle, perpetrating some disaster and resisting to the utmost of his ability any disciplinary or controlling actions of McConnell and his fellow Legislators. And Trump (of Trump University fame) certainly does not give a DAMN about ordinary (including white) people.

Turtle McShellyhump “ought to” stir his dead ass and have those hearings for Garland instead of growing moss on his furshlugginer shell.

Oh, you’re right. It’s far more clever and an efficient use of time to create troll accounts that are blasted within a few minutes.

Gigging well liked regulars is not a good way to make friends.

Just sayin’.

“He won. He got the most votes. And I think we need to respect the process,” McConnell said"

Oh, fuck you. Obama won. He got the most votes. Twice. And you’ve never shown an ounce of respect for him or the process. That’s why you’re stuck with Trump now. You broke it, you own it.

If it is, I ain’t changing you, sir or madam.

Edit: Since it appears you will not returning until October 19, 2043 at 1:47pm, I won’t wait breathlessly to find out if someone changed you. I’m sure you’ll just sit in it.

I called Mitch’s office this past winter, around Christmas I think maybe January, and told the staff to remind him in June that I’d be laughing at Godzilla eating him…
