This old shit was involved in breaking the USA for years and now has the sads about it. Give me a break.

If he’s REALLY concerned about the state of the USA, he should surrender all his crimes and spend the rest of his days in jail.

    And McConnell is the reason why we’re here.

    He doesnt just get to quit the fucking game then suddenly pretend like he had nothing to do with the gameplan, miserable piece of shit.

    Oh, no, the consequences of my actions. I didn’t think I’d see them in my lifetime. This is so unjust!

    Cool, cool. Good thing you didn’t dedicate your life and entire career to enabling this, or anything.

    Hey turtle boy, remember when you refused to hold a hearing for Obama’s SCOTUS pick with nearly a year left of his term but rushed in one in the last couple months of Trump’s? You know, setting the stage for a completely skewed court that allowed king turd to take control of everything unchecked since everything is legal so long as it was official?

    Stop shitting on your own legacy, McConnell. Own this as a result of your own decisions or shut the fuck up.

    Hey Mitch, remember when you got angry with Obama for telling you your bill was really bad, then you passed the bill anyway, then you got mad when Obama vetoed the bill, then you overrode the veto, then you saw the horrible repercussions of your stupid bill, then you got very angry with Obama for not vetoing your bill hard enough?

    This is like that. You are seeing the repercussions of all the stupid shit you did, even when people told you it was stupid. So you don’t get to act like it is anyone else’s fault but your own for all the stupid shit you did.

    McConnell did this to America. As I far as I’m concerned he’a a goddamn traitor to democracy.

    This is what you wanted Mitch. You raised the leopard about to eat your face, and you deserve it more than almost anyone in Congress.

    It should say

    “Moscow Mitch, who dedicated his spineliness chinless life to pumping dark money into America politics and selling out his constituents, the constitution, and our freedoms just realized people may not like that”.

      I think he is realizing that he doesn’t like it. Pretty sure he doesn’t care about people.

        This. SO HARD.

        McConnell got his first election win in Kentucky by making promises to union leaders that he promptly turned around and broke as soon as he was in office. He has never cared about anyone or anything except consolidating power under the Republican party. He got exactly what he always wanted but now he’s not happy with who’s at the reigns. Well, guess what, Mitch? That’s the problem with consolidating too much power. You can’t control who wields it.

        Hindsight is 20/20. We progressives need to see right now where our best–and worse – impulses lead and make the decision to choose our best. That means seeking redirection and rehabilitation, rather than retribution. If segregation from the greater community is part of that, fine, but with an honest effort at rehabilitation. If we truly believe that’s not possible for certain individuals, they should still be segregated humanely.

          McConnell is all talk, that’s the problem. He’s still enabling this administration with his votes.

          And he’s not the majority leader anymore, so he has much less power than he used to. It’s all very convenient timing for him to make his legacy look better, while doing nothing material to change policy.

            As I said elsewhere, practicable solutions seem to be somewhere between mercy and severity. That doesn’t mean Mitch has no responsibility to restitution. It means if we refuse to offer those who go down the wrong path, regardless of how long, a way back to the relative nirvana of reintegration with society, we leave them no viable options but to keep chasing their own individual hell or our collective hell.

            Mitch is brilliant at negotiating policy. We could and very well should seek him to negotiating policies for the good of the greater whole. If he declines, response can be appropriately measured in graduating degrees of severity - but always with an eye toward rehabilitation and reintegration.

            Tl;Dr better to bring s stay back to the flock than left the stray to the temptations of the wolves, to our demise along with their own.

      It’s got to be the difference in stress. Evil dudes just don’t stress about the stuff we do. Yemen? Palestine? Ukraine? Black Lives who? They don’t mind any of it.

      I remember the evening of January 6th, he came out with an indignant fire and for the briefest of moments I thought, “fuck yeah, the piece of shit is finally is gonna use his powers for good” and then he proceeded to cave to the impetus of what’s good for the GOP vs what’s good for the country. I will piss on his grave one day if he gets one and the fascists don’t just huck him in a hole with hundreds of others now that he’s outlived his usefulness

      He’s a rich evil man. He’ll probably live to be a hundred. I only hope the shock of a leopard eating his face will still his icy heart for good.
