[Rambling Man]

25. ever get bit by a turtle?

[MoonRiver]

2. We must TAKE BACK THE SENATE!

[Kid Berwyn]

[lunatica]

4. His bitter hatred is obvious.

[smirkymonkey]

5. I hate that man with every fiber of my being.

I want nothing more than to see him behind bars.

[MyOwnPeace]

38. I'm with 'ya!

Behind bars should only be the start.
I love to think about pasty-face meeting "Big Bubba" for the first time there.........

[Volaris]

42. Those are the 2 best sentences ever uttered.

[hermetic]

6. Ever notice

how vile and evil are the same in many ways?

[Wounded Bear]

9. Vile is evil spelled backwards...

[hermetic]

11. Well, no

It's an anagram, but the words have the same meaning. And Mitch is as vile and evil as they come, IMO.

[gtar100]

41. Live is evil backwards.

That's interesting.

7. Quote about Mitch McCONartist from Dana Milbank

"By rights, McConnell's tombstone should say that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I would add, he broke America. No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. His has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power."

[Stonepounder]

19. And the bloody asshole rethugs keep electing him to his position.

They are as culpable as he is! They are out to break America!

[Progressive Jones]

28. Wealthy, white Kentuckians keep electing him, with just enough voter suppression to tip the scales.

[Stonepounder]

29. Ahhhhh, that's why I get to vote against him every time he is up for election.

I've lived in KY for over 20 years. I've voted against Turtle every time he's shown on the ballot and have never had a problem voting.

But here's the thing,

1. I live in a strongly GOP precinct so they don't bother trying to suppress my vote.
2. I sure as hell ain't wealthy.

[emmaverybo]

31. Great one. A study in evil politicking.

[sop]

8. Ever notice whenever McConnell goes before TV cameras with some evil remark

He's always flanked by the same pack of sleazy Republican Senators; usually it's John Barrasso (R-Wyo) on one side and Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) on the other, with Little Susan Collins (R-Maine) trying to be noticed in the background. A veritable rogues gallery of corporate corruption.

[onethatcares]

10. thanks for putting names to faces

I don't watch a lot of teevee or talk shows so I have a time putting them together.

Barrasso is one I had no clue about.

Thanks again.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Lindsey Graham is sometimes by his side.

Although Lindsey likes to go solo mostly.

[kimbutgar]

21. Maybe they're intimate buddies?

There was always a rumor about why McConnell left the navy early and Graham is so closeted gay.

[Honeycombe8]

22. Really? Hmm. I've never heard that.

What IS the deal with Lindsey Graham? Why be closeted now, when it's acceptable? If he is.

[emmaverybo]

32. Not acceptable to his constituents. Some from that generation don't really accept it in themselves

which can lead to all kinds of problems. As we speak, plenty of young people too are not out to their families or the communities they live in.

[Honeycombe8]

36. I suppose so. Seems odd, these days. nt

[xxqqqzme]

34. I've noticed. They

get a call and show up like good little tools.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Vile is an apt description of him. As it is for Barr. nt

[emmaverybo]

33. Who also had to flank himself, if that's even a grammatical phrase, with Rosenstein and

Whathisname, as though that motley crew could officialize his lies. Pathetic that was, with scared
Mouse-owl Rosenstein and the everyman sergeant-at-arms type (he’s some DOJ deputy assistant or something, isn’t he) looking like they knew they were useless.

[Honeycombe8]

35. Astute observation! There seems to be a pattern with these weasels. nt

[Initech]

14. The biggest domestic terrorist in the country.

[paleotn]

16. He want's to be an oligarch....

in the most Russian, kleptocratic sense of the word. He and his compatriots are tired of the restraints of something as quaint as democracy putting the brakes on their ambitions. I mean seriously, one person one vote? We're all created equal? Come on. They want to be super rich. Super powerful and able to fuck over anyone they want, without anything like constitutional checks and balances. And without something as inconvenient as the rule of law. Laws are just for the little people. The proles. You know, the morons who believe their bullshit lies and keep voting them into office, against what anyone would consider good sense or better judgement.

[Rambling Man]

26. In Soviet Russia

many foods, apartment--cheap.

In Moldova now: oligarch break it.

[dalton99a]

17. Kick

[lordsummerisle]

18. Maybe I haven't been paying much attention over the years

but I don't recall a senate majority leader putting such a stranglehold on the senate as Mcconnell has been doing...

[kimbutgar]

20. He is so dirty - why isn't he being investigated by a brave intrepid journalist?

Why isn’t some democratic operative looking into him?

[calimary]

23. Moscow Mitch.

Who’s yer daddy, Mitch?

Who owns yer ass, Mitch?

Or should we address you as Three-and-a-Half-Milluon-Dollar-Mitch?

24. That's why Kentucky, our country needs Amy...

"Chuck Schumer has been talking to her about running for McConnell's seat in 2020."

See this thread:

[Duppers]

27. Amy McGrath

From her former campaign...

[Bayard]

37. Amy can beat Mitch

He has low approval ratings here. Amy just needs the press and PR.

[Duppers]

40. YES! Folks, let's write to Amy! She's our best chance.

[dchill]

30. Mitch is still working for the Confederacy.

CSA! CSA! CSA!

[StevieM]

39. Back in the day, Bob Dole was pretty loathsome too.

But he looked good to many people when compared to Newt Gingrich.

In reality, Bob Dole, like Mitch McConnell, was an opponent of democracy. And his tactics were absolutely reprehensible.
