McConnell Says Tax Overhaul Is His Second-Greatest Achievement

[n2doc]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he considers the landmark tax legislation poised to pass Congress this week as only the second-greatest achievement of his career.

The Kentucky Republican said he’s proudest of ensuring a Republican-nominated justice could replace Antonin Scalia -- which McConnell made possible by refusing to let former President Barack Obama fill the position during his last year in office.

"For me personally, it would be Neil Gorsuch and the changes we’re making in the circuit courts," McConnell said in an interview Tuesday. "But this would be a really close second," he said referring to the tax bill.

3. Proof of his collusion will surface. Patience.

I don't think I can stomach their filthy grins tonight.

This means war, cause next will be social security, medicare and medicaid.

They hate the American people.

McConnell will be dead before he goes to jail.... Most of these old school fuckhound republicans are just sitting in Hells waiting room...

[mchill]

[Freethinker65]

7. Denying a sitting President his constitutional right to have his SC nominee voted on was his #1????

Let that sink in a bit.

If this country survives, he will certainly make the history books, but he will not be admired.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Talking about civil unrest, when McConnell refused the American people the SC justice they voted for

if we were ever going to actually stand up for ourselves in a way that risked it all, it had to be then.

That act was so egregious, so unconstitutional and violent. Dont know what to say beyond that.

9. Such hubris for a criminal to brag openly about his crimes. nt

[Chasstev365]

10. What is his first: Obstructing President Obama for 8 years?

Hope this asshole burns in hell!

[Laxman]

11. In All Fairness....

I'm sure everything in his life pales in comparison to the day he beat the Hare in that race!

12. Was his first laying all those eggs when the tide came in? nt

[diva77]

13. Where is the weak link in our system that allows these monsters to wield such power? He's been

screwing the US for years. He's been senior senator from KY since 1985. His only skill is obstructionism. What a heap.

[Va Lefty]

14. Remind me again why did we stop tarring and feathering people like him?

[Kirk Lover]

15. Good to know so when the economy tanks because of this we can bump this up to his

greatest fuck up. He is absolutely revolting and if he were the last man alive I'd fuck a stick.

[Squinch]

16. Is he one of them family annihilators? Is that his first greatest achievement?

[Fullduplexxx]

17. They have all 3 branches it shouldnt have been this difficult

In comparison with the ACA, or previous major tax overhauls, this was done at warp-speed.
