McConnell busted, he replaces one outrageous lie with another

McConnell busted, he replaces one outrageous lie with another

"SNIP.....

This past Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was a lying sack of crap. “They claim pandemics only happen once every hundred years but what if that's no longer true? We want to be early, ready for the next one, because clearly the Obama administration did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this,” McConnell told nepotism hire Lara Trump. In reality, Obama’s crew literally left their successors a comprehensive coronavirus response game plan. It was called the “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.”

......

But lest anyone forget that McConnell is a jackass, he followed up his admission with this new, extra hefty pile of crap: 

“As to whether or not the plan was followed, who's the critic and all the rest, I don't have any observation about that because I don't know enough about the details of that, Bret, to comment on it in any detail.” 

One moment there is no plan, the next, McConnell has no idea whether anyone followed the plan! Who could he possibly know, given that he has no observations or knowledge of any details? Why, he’s kept his eyes shut for the last three months, thus unable to observe anything, not even the 87,000 dead (and counting) from this bumbling administration’s ineptitude!

press conferences. So i guess the Trump WH likes the main stream media. Cause they seem to want the press gallery to believe. Someone should ask her about that.

The good thing about isolation is that I don't have to listen to angry cultists regurgitating Foxtales.

I've never watched or listened to a press conference since Obama left. Read about a few, but that just made me more determined not to see or hear them.

I know exactly what you mean and how it feels to not have to listen to their crap. I'm going to hate going back to regular life and having to listen to their crap again, to be honest. I would rather be on DU and other places I go online to talk to long time friends. In other words, I would rather be talking to intelligent life.

what would've kept the current administration, with a 'very stable' genius at it's head, directing only the 'best people' to fix what 'only he can fix', from developing their very own plan?

Geez, they had 3–1/2 years to do so. So what happened?

Democrats do or say. Typical Republican, only he has a beak and a shell. He really does look like a turtle. A brain damaged one, but a turtle, nonetheless.

He is the first Republican I have ever heard admit a bald faced lie though, even if he did turn around and make stuff up when he knows nothing right after.
