When you see McTurtle on TV whining about "Moscow Mitch" on the Senate floor (!!!!)

[DFW]

You know two things:

1.) It has really gone viral, and fast

2.) This one penetrated his thick armor. THIS one bothers him plenty.

If he's putting his pain in the Congressional Record, which is archived permanently, then he's upset. It was more important for him to whine than to keep "Moscow Mitch" from being preserved for the history books.

I'm far from saying he is starting to crack a bit at the seams, but the term "Moscow Mitch" WAS brought to national television by a Republican, a fact he conspicuously distorted in his rant.........

[dalton99a]

1. Yep. Keep hitting that weak spot!

[avebury]

13. That would make a fabulous postcard.

Imagine if the Democrats sent boxes of it to all 50 states. The local Democrat offices could filter them out to people to mail them in to McConnell's office.

[TheRealNorth]

14. 2020 Fundraising Idea

Could have a similar one for Trump.

[murielm99]

20. I would like to send one

to my scummy Congressman. Maybe a lot of people could do that.

We could send masses of them to Moscow Mitch, too. I don't care if he throws them away. They keep track of their mail and phone calls.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Man, that struck a nerve, because there seems to be a heck of a lot of truth to it!

[Guilded Lilly]

2. Keep it up. Make it very public. Mount the billboards. Repeat daily and often. N/T

[TryLogic]

57. Yes. Do this.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. You mean "thick shell"..... :-P nt

[lastlib]

22. GMTA!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Turtle shells are pretty tough, but not tough enough to resist a good internet meme.

[FakeNoose]

5. He's just figured out that Chump won't lift a finger to help him

[dewsgirl]

26. LOL

[onetexan]

29. Lol love it

[trev]

35. Hilarious.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

42. that's gruesome but excellent

[Hortensis]

52. Excellent. This and DFW's OP are both spot on.

[kimbutgar]

6. Everyday someone in the Democratic caucus needs to call him Moscow mitch

A destroyer of American democracy. Why do you hate free and fair elections Mitch? Who are your reAlly representing Mitch Russia or Kentucky? That little sweetheart deal you have with the Russian oligarch will probably end up costing Kentucky taxpayers in the subsidies you give him.

[bdamomma]

67. maybe we

should ask Mitch's constituents if he cares about them.

Trump would throw him under the bus too.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Oh yes,

Moscow Mitch cries Turtle Tears. He loves to name call,but,when it is inbound,cry me a river. Their picking on me.

[Wounded Bear]

8. If he's crying, that means we're getting hits in...

Whattya say we keep it up?

[bdamomma]

68. exactly

[MuseRider]

9. And now we know

just how to crack that one down.

[Captain Zero]

10. Yep. And only WE the People can keep this thing viral for #MoscowMitch

#MoscowMitch isn't getting off this hook.

[StarfishSaver]

11. As Andrew Gillum's and my grandmother's would say:

"A hit dog will holler"

[G_j]

12. #MoscowMitch

[DFW]

16. All he had to do was ignore it

And it would have faded away except for a few internet boards like ours.

Now, he enshrined it for all time in the Congressional Record! Not too swift. Now he's Москва Мич worldwide.

[brandnewday2009]

17. Truth is..

a bitch, Mitch. Drown in your tears, traitor.

[oasis]

18. Moscow Mitch forever. The signs, hats , balloons ect. will follow. nt

[kag]

19. So, let me get this straight.

"Cocaine Mitch" was funny enough to put on a t-shirt and fundraise off of, but "Moscow Mitch" is a slur worthy of the Congressional Record!

Whatever.

[DFW]

65. It was put in the Congressional Record by McConnell himself

Everything said at a Congressional podium, Senate or House, becomes part of the CR.

[PWPippinesq]

21. He may not be cracking at the seams, but his china chin has been exposed!

[bdamomma]

69. moscow mitch

is two faced, Moscow on one side and China on the other.

[Rebl2]

23. Like

Putin’s (b)Mitch too

[Auggie]

24. Need billboards in Kentucky

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

37. Like this?

Putin's Bitch billboard

[Auggie]

44. Yes!!! Moscow Mitch too. Traitor turtle. Whatever.

[yellowdogintexas]

56. It sits right on one of the busiest sections of I-65 too.

The three interstate exits leading to Mammoth Cave National Park are along that section of highway

[bdamomma]

70. love that

would love to see them all over the US.

[nocoincidences]

25. This makes a great chant for rallies:

Moscow Mitch is Putin's Bitch!

Print the signs, somebody!

[dewsgirl]

27. It really does.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

46. Ditch rich Moscow Mitch

[DFW]

64. If there is a shop somewhere printing and distributing those signs

Tell me where to contribute!

McGrath campaign, are you listening?

[bdamomma]

71. his wife

probably would run out of their house and say leave my husband alone. No way Ms. China Rose.

[Frustratedlady]

28. Well, I think it would just be terrible if people started referring to him as Moscow Mitch...

with each Tweet and/or Facebook post. Just terrible.

His blood pressure seems to be soaring and I thought I saw some crocodile tears beginning to form.

Just terrible, I say...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. I really feel bad that we're doing this to him.............keep reading!

Yeah, NOT!

Poor baby Moscow Mitch.........oh where is my violin???

[BonnieJW]

30. Is anyone running against MM?

Is there a Dem running? The nickname plus the fact that he ignored miners suffering from black lung disease who had come to meet with him could make anyone running against him a winner.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. YES, there are 2 Democrats running against him.

Amy McGrath is one and I don't remember the other one's name.

Amy is first rate! Check her out.

[trev]

36. Not only that, but her numbers are neck-and-neck.

[bdamomma]

72. I'm not from

Kentucky but I gave a donation to Amy, crap he needs to have his ass thrown out, even Susan Collins is whining too regarding how her poll numbers are plummeting in Maine. Karma is a bitch huh?

[Kurt V.]

33. I'm having a hard time believing his anger was sincere.

[Baltimike]

34. Moscow Mitch, Russian Ryan (I think he took a plea deal to leave office)

I think Trey Gowdy did too.

[RhodeIslandOne]

47. Gorky Gowdy n/m

[paleotn]

38. It hurts because it's true.

[bdamomma]

73. of course it is

we are all stupid. He needs payback for putting Kavanot on the SC.

[volstork]

39. Make that sniveling

little bastard squirm. I loathe him.

[smirkymonkey]

48. I so love the fact that this is getting under his skin.

He always acts so smug and arrogant.

It's about time we have finally found his Achilles's heel. We just have to keep at it. Billboards, phone calls and fliers all over Kentucky. They need to know what Mitch has REALLY been up to, while they get poorer and keep losing their healthcare coverage.

[Marie Marie]

49. Agreed - finally something to wipe that smirk off his face.

And smirking is not an easy thing to do when you have no lips.

[pansypoo53219]

40. i prefer mccommie.

[Hekate]

41. A Repub said it first? Who was that?

[Marie Marie]

50. Morning Joe

[DFW]

63. Former congressman (R-FL)

And now TV host Joe Scarborogh

[Cha]

43. KR!

[alterfurz]

45. Watch out now, Putin's pissy little Mitch is peeved!

51. #MoscowMitch trending on Twitter

Also #MoscowMitchMcTreason

[Danascot]

53. It's hard to believe that someone who has been in pubic life as long as he has

doesn't realize that:

1) Whining about it draws more attention to it and spreads it further, and

2) He protests too much which gives credence to the accusation.

[kimbutgar]

54. I'm not a twitter person but everyday for the month of August I am retweeting Moscow Mitch

Whenever I see it in a post.

Take the 30 day pledge to retweet Moscow Mitch if you’re on twitter to drive him nuts!

[czarjak]

55. He did say he loves to play Whack-a-Mole.

[Gothmog]

58. Boo Hoo

[dobleremolque]

59. Google the phrase "Moscow Mitch" a couple of times per day

and maybe it'll become another "santorum".

[oasis]

61. +1

[kyburbonkid]

60. I Wish we could dump "Russian Rand" as well...

Did it stick?? ...

[ehrnst]

62. "hyperventillating hacks" will become his "nattering nabobs of negativism"

[bdamomma]

66. good he deserves to

be called that. Karma will bite him hard.

[calimary]

74. Too damn bad.
