Here in Kansas Roger Marshall is reviving the tired old “Death Tax!” label to keep Farmers from paying an inheritance tax. He fails to mention nearly all farms are corporately owned.

“I found it completely discouraging to find a bunch of corporate CEOs getting in the middle of politics,” McConnell said during a press conference in his home state on Monday. “My advice to the corporate CEOs of America is to stay out of politics. Don’t pick sides in these big fights.”
“Whether it was giving Americans affordable health care or passing stronger gun laws, I have been careful not to influence the government to accomplish things,” he said. “I wish corporations would follow my lead.”
He urged the C.E.O.s of major companies to spend a day with him in Washington to “see how getting nothing done is done.”
McConnell cut short his remarks to reporters, saying that he had to return to his office to get to work on not improving the country’s infrastructure.

That’s rich.
A law is passed by white men to prevent people of color from voting and the opponents of that law are playing the race card.
Does no one see the irony of this? Seriously?

The irony is Republicans shamelessly played the “race card” with Willie Horton and “welfare queen”.

Shorter McConnell:
“Let’s see…we’ve played the integrity for elections card, we’ve played the cancel culture card, we’ve played the Antifa card, we’ve played the BLM card…wait! It’s time for the race card!”

People who think race is some kind of card are utter pieces of shit. Race isn’t a card. It’s a fact of life. Although, I would bet that every Black person in the country really wishes race wasn’t a factor, but it is in just about every aspect of our lives.

Republicans have been selling white hetero identity politics my entire life, but especially in the last 12 years. It is literally all their base cares about and it’s all the Republican Party has left.

“McConnell on Wednesday tried to adjust the position after he was readily ridiculed for the about-face, suggesting that his initial comments lacked finesse.”
This is what happens when the dog finally catches its tail.

Wow, Mitch is just floundering.
Now he’s resorting to playing the GQP’s greatest hits, on repeat.

Biden’s too busy fixing your previous boss’s fuckups, to waste his time meeting with you, Mitch.
And the sad thing is, you KNOW this.
But the happy thing is, so do the American People.

It seems every issue has been down graded to a Card. This is not a valid argument.

The slave state’s plantation owners and racist politicians dragged millions of black men, women and children from Africa and then started a civil war to maintain ownership of their bonded and beaten slaves. Now these same Slave States are crying about their precious white cancelled culture (white supremacy). The United States of America is a multi racial culture. That’s what makes us special. I find people of color much more interesting than stupid T-rump enablers.

What McConnell likes least is that if corporations find they can wield policy influence without massive donations to the GOP, those donations will dry up. His words really mean that he wants them taking no dirext action, but rather doing their influencing through buying politicians who will do it for them.
