McConnell on the senate floor crying about "a new low"

[JohnnyRingo]

Barely holding back his tears, he described what he sees as Democrats' attempt to smear a good upstanding man both personally and professionally. Mitch can't believe democrats could stoop so low. He then proceeded to smear Dr Ford up one side and down the other for the record, stopping just short of calling her a liar.

He went on about how the panel will listen intently and fairly to her accusations under oath, as well as Kavenagh's defense. He then stated absolutely that the senate will vote up or down on the confirmation, proving that he's already determined Dr Ford is lying, despite anything she may testify to.

It just kills me when Mitch McConnell whines about partisan behavior by the opposition, like he's never seen anything like it. What an ass.

1. Obama's SCOTUS got no hearing

That was a new 'low'.

[LakeSuperiorView]

2. How the fuck he can say that with a straight face...

The new low is and will remain McConnell's treatment of Merrick Garland.

3. Talking Turtle's grin

I just want to see that grin wiped off his face when Kavanaugh loses confirmation. The biggest Trump hack in history.

4. And Mitch held the record for the "new low"...

...until he realized you reap just what you sow...

5. The only thing Mitch McConnell* is crying about is his mythical reputation as a master...

...of the politics and proclivities of the United States Senate. McConnell* has PROMISED the religious freakazoids that inhabit the far, far right of the Rethuglican Party that their faith and following of the GOP will not go unrewarded. McConnell* has styled himself as a senatorial wizard of sorts, able to make anything happen that he deems so. Guess what, this is about to be proved as BULLSHIT, pretty much the same as Paul Ryan* has been proved to NOT be the great policy wonk that he managed to sell the Rethuglicans for years.

McConnell* knows that with the House and Senate changing hands, he becomes just another right-wing lame duck has been, and all will see he has NO MAGIC POWERS whatsoever.

9. You're right about the Paul Ryan hype.

I'd forgotten all the talk about this "new kind of speaker" who is the ultimate master of procedure and policy. Turns out he was just another flak who toed the party line right off the cliff.

6. Few things would make me happier than Mueller indicting McConnell as part of his investigation.

7. There is nothing or no one lower

than Don the Con - their leaders

8. Sen. Richard Burr's (R-NC) 2016 comment on SCOTUS

"If Hillary becomes president, I am going to do everything I can do to make sure four years from now, we still got an opening on the Supreme Court."

FOUR YEARS... The GOPers were prepared to hold a seat open for FOUR YEARS.
