Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday said that he disagrees with former President Trump’s dangling of pardons for the mob of his supporters who participated in the deadly Capitol insurrection last year.
Can you just imagine the chafing from having to straddle both sides like McConnell?
Anyhooo, the headlines don’t stop coming…
Who gives a shit what the fuckface says until it’s “uuuurggggacccccckkkkkkkk…” followed by an eternity of fucking silence.
He’s the one who made a whole impassioned speech about how guilty guilty guilty trump was of inciting the insurrection.
Minutes after voting to aquit.
Fuck him in every way fucking possible, don’t want to see anything involving his name that doesn’t involve the term “obituary” somewhere in the fucking article.
The former president, who has mocked McConnell with the moniker “old broken crow,” has gone after the Senate minority leader
Even an old broken crow is right twice a decade.
McConnell is a foul presence and will certainly be judged by history to have been a tremendous disaster for this nation. But the de facto leader of the GOP, because what Trump does ain’t leading, has no time for Trump and I love that. He makes it clear, without saying so, that he considers Trump to be a problematic presence to the extent that he isn’t just done and over with as a phenomenon. There are still a lot of dopes who think well of him, and that’s a part of the landscape like the world’s biggest dead whale rotting on the beach, but as much as anyone, McConnell just ignores him, and Graham’s squeakings of protest underscore it. So it’s, uh, interesting.
Welcome to my world.
Who gives a shit what the fuckface says until it’s “uuuurggggacccccckkkkkkkk…” followed by an eternity of fucking silence.
Yep!
Hope you don’t mind popping out for a couple drinks with me when the time comes so that I can load up for the gravesite pilgrimage.
Horrid to realize McConnell is the only thing keeping TFG from “owning” all Senate Republicans.
I’ll bring the bourbon.
McConnell’s grave will probably, and sadly, be at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville. A beautiful and historic cemetery and arboretum. After pissing on McConnel’s grave we can cleanse our souls by heading over to Muhammad Ali’s gravesite and honor him.
I’ll bring the beer. Gonna need volume for that plot of land.
McConnell vs TFG - Alien vs Predator Part 3.
Well, I’ve read that the only real true Trump believers in Congress are a couple of dozen members of the House, the Moron Caucus I think we can call them, and a handful of the dumber, more credulous senators. Senators in general think they’re pretty hot stuff, and they’re not inclined to bow down to a guy who’s had such a checkered career, shall we say. They have to win statewide and many can’t afford to be too cozy with him even if they did like him, which they mostly don’t. I see McConnell here more as a guy who has a corrupt but clear vision and knows there’s going to be a Trump-free future (not Trumpism, but Trump) not too far away; he’s maybe expressing the consensus view more than firmly leading anyone.
I would agree with you if we were in normal times, but at this point, no R wants to cross TFG and have a bunch of crazies camp outside their homes threatening their families and freaking out the neighbors.
Of course not. But Trump dangles pardons so they run to McConnell and ask if he agrees and he says no. Trump is directly condemning him consistently, and he gives it right back, in his way.
Yes, and McConnell has more real power than TFG could ever dream of, probably why he really hates him.
I feel like you’re giving to much credit to old Mitch, along with the article’s title. He didn’t say those found guilty, but those who plead guilty. When Rhodes goes through a trial, is found guilty, and then Trump pardons him, he’s going to be like 
Courtesy clearly of some otherworldly demonic being of unfathomable evil and eternal power.
Sucks to be us.
So it’s our job to make damn sure he never gets the chance to pardon anyone ever again.
Personally, I don’t think TFG is going to make it as the 2024 candidate, but that’s just me.
Stormy notes for the record that that’s because that’s the only thing he’s ever had to dangle
