McConnell blasts impeachment inquiry as 'kangaroo court' in fundraising pitch

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is doubling down on his criticism of the House impeachment inquiry, using a fundraising pitch to accuse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of running a "kangaroo court."

"Well Nancy Pelosi is conducting a kangaroo court over in the House, denying the president his due process rights that every American is entitled to," McConnell says in the Facebook ad. "If I have your support, I hope you'll donate now."

McConnell's campaign, according to Facebook's ad library, began running the ads on Thursday.

Each version of the Facebook ad includes the same video pitch from McConnell, but paired with five different captions that blast House Democrats over the impeachment inquiry.

In a few months to a year McConnell's going to deny ever knowing Trump.

1. Moscow Mitch is all in!

Who can blame him....he's as corrupt as much as Trump when it comes to that sweet, Russian dark money that keeps them a viable Party.

One thing is for sure, the moron's that vote for these traitors don't have any money to back their candidates.

9. Moscow Mitch relies on outside money

He's worked very hard for a lot of years to make Kentuckians poor, uneducated, desperate, and, most importantly, misinformed.

2. Now Trump will be saying Kangaroo Court In

every tweet.

3. Vile man

Greed will/can kill you.

[durablend]

4. Of course it is, MoscowMitch

Everyone knows it isn't a *real* impeachment if there isn't a blowjob involved...

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Winner!

[smirkymonkey]

5. How clever of him.

I suppose he picked that up from the equally clever Matt Gaetz.

I hate Mitch with a passion. I just donated to Amy McGrath again today because I want him out so badly. And I don't even live in Kentucky.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. thank you!

I live in Kentucky. It changed from the Bluegrass State to the Red Assed State.

It's so bad that many teachers will be voting for Bevin in a couple of weeks.

[smirkymonkey]

10. I will do whatever I can to get Mitch out of office.

I'm sorry about your state. What is wrong with people there? Aren't they tired of it already?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. almost everyone in my area is in the disinformation bubble

I'm surrounded by the cult. They suck in Fox and Limbaugh and believe that stuff is real and every other source is fake.

I don't know how to break through. Facts are countered with emotion.

6. Moscow Mitch's Money Ministrations

There are several other words that start with M, I'll leave those to your imagination.

7. Corruption thrives best in the dark

The most corrupt, therefore, hate the light of day worse than anyone.

[smirkymonkey]

11. That is brilliant!

Thank you!

[DFW]

13. My pleasure!

It was more complicated to record than I had originally imagined. All the really good pedal steel players are in Nashville, but the one guy in Atlanta who came close did his best, and so we went with that. This time, I had nothing to do with planning the video. That was all done by The Parody Project.

19. OUTSTANDING!

20. Thanks!

If you get a moment, write a note on the youtube comments to counterbalance all the hate comments from the radical right that I got on that. It seems I struck a nerve with that one, although I didn't write any of the video, just the lyrics and did some music directing from afar.

[lastlib]

24. Done! And I subscribed while I was at it!

This made my day! Thanks!

[DFW]

25. The Parody Project is incredibly prolific

We've only done about ten collaborations, but they have all been pretty well received--or pretty well trashed by trolls from the radical right and the Russians, which is just as good.

The collaborations are clearly marked as being done with The Freedom Toast. For those, I wrote all the lyrics, and we sometimes did the music as well (Dumb Down, Strangers on the Right, Moscow Mitch, Washington DC, In D.C., Fun Fun Fun). On others, I just sent the Parody Project some lyrics suggestions, and they ran with them using their own ideas on how to do the music, notably Mar-a-Lagoville, Act Naturally and When Johnny Comes Rolling Home. We are both fairly well-versed in lyric-writing and music, so when we find common ground, the result is usually pretty fine! Plus they are accomplished video studio technicians, so we rarely need to go "outside the family" to get anything done.

We are currently working on a devastating parody of an old song that has to do with the devastating fires in the West. Keep an eye out!

28. Now, if we could only find someone who sings like Paul McCartney..........

Yesterday
All Trump’s nonsense seemed so far away
It made sense to no one anyway
So who cares what he has to say?

Suddenly
He’s not half the man he used to be
He was not too much to start, you see.
And so, he fails so mis’rably

Why he has to go
We all know, no need to say
Trump does all things wrong
So we long for yesterday….

[lastlib]

29. I like!!

[DFW]

31. It is being seriously looked into

I have to see if there is a string quartet in Atlanta with a sense of humor.........

[malaise]

15. And he said this after the judge said otherwise

Please proceed Moscow Mitch

[struggle4progress]

18. But that was a qualified judge! America needs more unqualified judges!

[Goodheart]

16. How the fuck is trump being "denied his due process rights"?

McConnell is a clever enough bastard to know that his and trump's supporters are non-inquisitive cultists who won't bother to check out the facts, much less to comprehend details.

[diva77]

23. THIS!!!! with one exception

I don't think he's clever at all. Someone else probably figured out what McTurd could get away with and he's greedy and repulsive enough to carry out the plan.

[struggle4progress]

17. "If you give me enough money, I'll let Russia hack US 2020!"

[spanone]

21. feeding red meat to the deplorables....bet trump loves it.

moscow mitch never felt the Benghazi or email harassment of Hillary was a kangaroo court....funny, eh mitch?

[bluestarone]

22. With this shit going on, how can he be allowed to control the senate trial?

I know he the majority leader that's how. BUT it really pisses me off!

[VOX]

26. Okay, let's talk kangaroo courts & witch hunts:How do "BENGHAZI!!!"(tm) and "Clinton emails" sound?

The BENGHAZI!!! (tm) panel spent more than $7.8 million over two and a half years. A bunch of political flapdoodle and not a single conviction of anyone.

And all the various tabs (including FBI) run up on the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails are estimated at $30+ million. Any shady wrong-doing found there? Any convictions? Nah.

Now here’s Donald Trump. A man who says and does whatever the fuck he feels like, because he’s a Frankenstein run amok— and the Republicans who laid the groundwork (for decades) to rein in democracy in order to retain power by demonizing American citizens, science, facts and the real world— are suddenly afraid of their beast in rented armor.

Sorry, Mitch, but there’s a large marsupial taking the witness stand.
