McConnell's entire legacy can be summed up in one cowardly act: After Donald Trump whipped up a mob to attack our Capitol, threatening to kill the Speaker of the House and the Vice President, in an attempt to overturn a presidential election, he condemned Trump.
“Former President Trump’s actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty,” McConnell said. “Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”
But McConnell voted to acquit him of insurrection, allowing him to run for president again.
It can't get worse. He found the bottom and decided to go deeper. Nobody can replace his level of destruction of the United States. It will take a genuine master class asshole to come close.
I think that you are correct here. He comes from an old school way of looking at the world, pre-Boomer, which was really a lot of "I get mine and it's ok if I take yours to get it". These people built out the country to exclude minorities and take away power from women. His replacement will certainly be much younger and have a completely different viewpoint on the world.
God I hope so, but I have a feeling it's going to be another monster; just without the spectre of death looming over them like the rainbow after a storm.
I haven’t voiced this before, but after seeing him and his actions for the last 10-15 years… I’ve grown to literally hate him. That smug turtle faced prick. I hate him so much. He’s done so much damage to America. He stalled us on decades of progress. He’s a piece of shit that deserves his shitty health and to rot in hell.
I’m sorry if that’s harsh to say about another human being, but, he is one who truly does not care about anyone but himself and to ‘stick it’ to everyone else who isn’t on his side. He’s truly an evil man.
His own health issues almost certainly played a factor there. He's 82 and clearly having some issues. I'm surprised he's even holding out until November.
Believe it or not, McConnell's home state of Kentucky currently has a Democratic governor, so if McConnell vacated his seat, the governor would appoint a Democrat to fill it until a special election could be held. No way in hell a guy like Mitch would allow something like that to happen while he's still drawing breath.
I absolutely DESPISED Kissinger, and with excellent reason. I don't think I have ever loathed a public figure personally and to that extent before or since.
But McConnell is rising to that mark, and at least for all his crimes against humanity Kissinger wasn't a traitor for foreign pay against his adopted homeland.
Mitch McConnell, on the other hand, is a coward who sold his own soul and his own country for wealth and power, and ultimately the holder of his notes has ended up being Vladimir Putin.
Piece of shit. I have nothing but contempt for what he has done to this nation.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the w-- actually scratch that, I hope the door hits you so hard on the way out that you spend the remainder of miserable life managing broken ass related complications.
A pinnacle of how flawed the American government is, 39 years in our government thus far. 2 senators per state with no term limits and I still hear people argue that the senate serves a good purpose.
McConnell should be seen as a superhero for the republicans. He got more done for the party than pretty much any past republican senate leader. He fucking got them 2 supreme court justices by his fuckery. He played senate democrats like a fiddle and got SO MUCH compromise out of them while pretty much never returning the favor. For fucks sake, I think Biden STILL views McConnell as a friend.
Yet he went against god king trump so now they hate him. Republicans are dumb as shit.
