A stunt? Like trying to repeal Obamacare? GFY Mitch. Bring this to a vote 70 times and we’ll talk about political stunts.

No ideas, no policies, no empathy, just performative vitriol. He’s not worth listening to. When you listen to him, you don’t learn anything about the world, you only learn about him. Wish the DC Press could grasp this.

Fuck you, McConnell. Go ahead and spend all your capital trying to keep the 12% happy. Trump voters hate your guts and Trump has nothing good to say about you.

Oh hey fuck you, Mitch. Might want to get out of the habit of acting like you call the shots.

There’s only one thing they grasp on a regular basis and let’s just say it’s not any insight into Mitch McConnell.

“Going nowhere” says the hemorrhoidal horse’s ass who no longer fully controls his caucus or, likely, his bodily functions.

And McConnell is 100% right. Sinema and Manchin aren’t going to let voting rights legislation go anywhere. They’ve destroyed Biden’s agenda at this point and, to the extent that anything at all slips through, the damage is done and any victory laps over some relatively milquetoast achievements won’t be followed by Biden enjoying an approval bounce-back. They’ve done precisely what they were paid to do and were 100% successful at it. The GQP owes them great thanks for the fascist regime they’re about to start establishing in 2023 and 2025.

Well, since we were always going to pay it (rightfully so, in return for his service), it’s really zero sum that he won it back, no?

What…you think he has nothing to do with whoever is buying and controlling Manchin and Sinema? I thin that might be a silly presumption.

Once again, Trump sticks us with his bills. Oh jeeze, I left my wallet at home. Would you mind getting this?

McConnell just can’t stop thinking he’s still somebody. It’s actually almost quaint.
