FFS Yertle, when you can’t keep track of your never-ending lies, it’s time to call it a (sordid lamentable treasonous corrupt) career…

McConnell and the rest of the GOP are so full of SHIT. Can we please get them to enumerate all the times they have been willing to work with the Democrats.

However, McConnell clarified his comment later Wednesday, according to CNN. McConnell’s office reportedly acknowledged that the Senate minority leader and the President discussed the Myanmar coup last month, but maintained that McConnell has had no discussions with Biden regarding “efforts to reach bipartisan consensus” on the economic agenda.

That’s because Biden can’t keep himself from laughing out loud before McConnell finishes saying the word “bipartisan”.

Sorry, Mitch, but old Joe knows your game, and he ain’t playing.

(Like George C. Scott’s line in Patton: “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book.”)

Addendum: Because it’s such a great line.

and why pray tell should Biden talk directly to the MINORITY LEADER in the Senate when he has a MAJORITY?

If he wants to communicate with you, he will do it through Chuck Schummer, the MAJORITY LEADER.

(deal with it)

The problem is that Moscow Mitch spends too much time in his shell so he’s hard to reach.

Once again, not hyperbole - McConnell has never said a single word in his entire political career that wasn’t carefully thought out already and entirely tactical. His only goal is to keep himself in power and that includes keeping his party in power or at least in a powerful position. And this means pleasing his corporate and other financers. And maybe doing something he can sell to his Kentucky voters, real or not, or true or not. That’s it.

He is not thinking “what would be in the interests of the country or the world” or “what can I do to improve the lives of people in Kentucky, or the country” or “what are the principles the country was founded on that I can further today”. Not ever.

Maybe Clyburn had a better handle on Biden’s skills than most.

Better handle than Moscow McConnell, anyway…

Gee Moscow, didn’t you say you wanted him to be a one time VP?
After all you did say you wanted Obama to be a one time President, so that would apply to his VP, right?

When is this guy going to drop dead already? When they aren’t lying, they’re whining. Or they’re lying and whining.

So…do I have this ‘right’? McConnell runs to the microphones proclaiming that he will ‘go nuclear’, not ‘support the stimulus’, yada yada yada and now he is ‘upset’ that Biden hasn’t called him on the issues where McConnell has said his mind is made up? But Biden DID call him on other issues but BIDEN is the one unwilling to work with him?
