@ericr

he’s got his own kompromat to hide

This I am certain of.

I’d like to know what went wrong in Kentucky. Trump support is a symptom.

The media always covers for Mitch when he is doing something nefarious. The media makes this about Trump and Pelosi, and conveniently leaves Mitch out of the spotlight.

Who expects him to do something? Probably anyone who’s ever had to design, build, or ship a product. The rest of us don’t have the luxury of blaming the rest of the world for our own intransigence.

McConnell said the “solution to the problem” is for the president, who he reminds is the only one who can sign a bill into law, to reach an agreement with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. “There’s no way around that,” he told reporters this week.

So, if that’s the case, why was he, Pence and Kushner meeting with trump prior to Saturday’s tv show instead of Nancy and Chuck?

Maybe we’re really lucky and he choked to death on his own wattle.
