    Mitch McConnel is the person who operationalized the “lesson” the Republicans learned from Bill Clinton: the President always gets the credit and the blame. When the Republicans won big majorities in 1994 Bill Clinton took strategic opportunities to make compromises with Republicans to advance popular parts of the Republican agenda while getting a small amount of support for his own agenda. Bill Clinton got credit for the wins and the Republicans were resentful ever after.

    He understands the power of the court. Remember the constitution doesn’t mean anything. How the Supreme Court ‘interprets’ the constitution is what matters. When commas can throw out 100 years of precedent the constitution doesn’t mean anything

    Literally the most destructive politician in modern political history. Fuck this flaming pile of shit in a turtle suit. Trump hasn’t even come close… yet.

  4. It’s still baffling to me that literally having a TIA stroke live on camera is not career ending for a politician, let alone the goddamn Senate Minority Leader. I guess it shouldn’t be surprising considering the median age for senators is literally the age they tell you should be retiring age for any other job. Maybe your first stroke is a badge of honor for them, like when Henry Hill first gets arrested in Goodfellas

  5. This pos is responsible for so much that is wrong now. His legacy will forever be of one who gave up governance, refused to fulfill his oath to the Constitution , enabled the rise of fascism.

  6. Every time I hear the word bipartisanship I lose a full year off of my life.

    The sheepish look on this face after he’s done so much damage pisses me off. The

  8. The Ghoul of Kentucky. Did more for Moscow than he ever did for the USA.

  9. “McConnell helped to usher in a period of norm-breaking, hyper-partisan politics that paved the way for figures like incoming President Donald Trump”.

    A real POS.

    At this point, I think Mitch is history. But he made a mess of the country and let Trump get away with his insurrection which deeply offends me as an American. Progressives need hard nosed, very smart leadership to get us through the next 4 years. But the new agenda may have fallen in our laps : universal health care and strict control (preferably, abolition) of private insurers. Public health of comes first!

  11. Seriously, what was his end-game?

    what was his goal?

    He was never fighting FOR some legislation that would help anyone!

    He only wanted to stop the country from progressing.

  12. His legacy is letting Trump get away with breaking the law multiple times.

    When there was evidence of Russia hacking the 2016 election Obama brought together senior political leaders and wanted everyone to come forward, hand in hand, and reveal this to the American public. McConnell told Obama to get fucked. Had he stood up with the rest of the leaders Trump’s victory would likely have not occurred.

    After the Insurrection when congress voted to impeach Trump, McConnell had the power to lead the senate to vote for conviction. Instead he brushed an open Insurrection under the rug and said it was over now that Trump was out of office. Had he led for conviction Trump would not have run again and won in 2024.

    And what does McConnell get for all of this? MAGA hates him, Trump hates him, and his legacy is forever disgraced. Will be glad when he’s gone.
