McConnell needs to have a heart attack and die. There are too many evil people in this world.
I wish they’d quit referring to those currently in power as conservatives. Just as there are progressives so are there regressives. Words matter. There are no more conservatives.
Who would even think he’d consider leaving a seat vacant if the Republicans control the presidency and Senate.
And … the Democrats would not have done what he did in 2016. But, they’d damn well better do it in 2020 and any chance they get moving forward.
McConnell remains a lying sack of shit.
I’m surprised that he didn’t laugh out loud at the very idea.
MicConnell is a hypocritical liar. Zero honor in that dishonest turtle. I would add more but it would just be obscenities
This is worth reposting. Thank you for sharing it atldrew. Everyone read it.
I only hope we can retake the Senate too so we won’t have to look at him or hear him talking any more. It will be pay back time.
This guy couldn’t be making it clearer to everyone: The party that controls the power rules. Democrats need to embrace this philosophy, now and forever forward.
One day perhaps as early as November things will change and payback begins.
I put it up in the WAR XVI thread along with some general depressed/depressing snivellage.
Today is not a great day in hamsterville.
FU Mitch, you immoral hypocrite who respects and understands only one thing: raw political power.
And why does this evil sack of shit keep getting away with it? I mean, seriously? Since he’s come to power in the Senate he’s highhandedly destroyed legitimacy of the institutions and broken the country alongside with Fuck, and those people are talking about HER EMAILS?
Seriously?
You know, gloating before the fact isn’t very smart, Yertle.
You think we gave you a gift? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Won’t help. The next Reich-wing bastard will be just a ruthless, just as dishonest, and just as rotten
For most of us, a well-designed system of jurisprudence is like a utility. It provides something we all need like clean water, electrical power or phone service. But to the largest entities such as a listed corporation or a church, there is the temptation to rechannel that power used on it back on others for reprisal, revenge or retribution, i.e. exactly what the law is designed to prevent in dispute resolution. The Trump administration now openly threatens, as does “goes around, comes around” Kavanaugh, to use the highest court to get even with perceived enemies. If I worked for an organization, say, the Sierra Club, that butted heads with the winners in this battle, I’d be worried. In part because rules needed to protect our very existence may be needed soon (like within the next decade), or it’s game over. Similarly, legal protections such as macroprudential supervision of banks to avoid transfer of bailout costs onto the average person will now be dismantled, even as we head into the waning phase of the current business cycle.
To take Ernest Hemingway’s quote from The Sun Also Rises: “How did you go bankrupt?” "“Two ways. First gradually. Then suddenly.” I think the slow decline in democracy that the Americans have experienced goes back decades. Without an independent judiciary, the decline may accelerate.
I’ll give him this he is not stupid.
Hey on the bright side, Turtle is no spring chicken himself (76 years old). Maybe he’ll die first!
