Mitch McConnell Freezes Up For Over Half a Minute a Second Time While Taking to Reporters
Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell appeared confused before freezing for about half a minute in front of a gaggle of reporters on Wednesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
Easily one of the most evil, destructive figures in the last 20 years of American history. May he get what he deserves.
I've accepted this for so long as baseline knowledge that I've kind of forgotten some of the headlines. Can someone toss me a few bullet points of the bullshittery?
I’ll assume you’re not a disingenuous republican. Off the top of my head:
- Getting in the way of fucking everything Obama tried to do, including passing the ACA.
- Disgustingly putting his thumb in the eye of everyone who voted for Obama by blocking Merrick Garland’s nomination to the now illegitimate and flagrantly corrupt supreme court (unworthy even of capital letters).
- Unabashed support for putin’s agent in the white house. Up to and including voting to acquit during the impeachment hearings.
There’s more, but fuck it, I have a show to watch.
The "fun" part of his acquittal vote is that he said he was guilty, but since he had lost the election already, casting a guilty vote would be the wrong thing for the senate to do.
He wanted to both appease trump voters by voting not guilty, and appease saner moderates by calling him guilty in the press.
Just mealy mouthed all the way around.
He proposed a bill and then when Obama backed it he voted against his own bill.
On another occasion he proposed a bill, and after it passed and the fallout was bad he blamed Obama for not stopping him from passing the bill.
Mostly he's changed the rules to benefit his party at the expense of the American people and / or democracy.
He once filibustered his own bill because the democrats called his bluff and wouldve passed the bill
Dont remember what it was
I once heard him speak about ONE time in ‘97 how a ‘dumuhcrayut’ spoke 3 minutes over their time and he’d held a grudge ever since. That it was his motivation for destroying our system. He’s been a plague for at the very least 24 years but likely his whole career.
Moscow Mitch needs to have retired a long time ago.
