How unfitting that McConnell talks about peace between parties?

[imanamerican63]

He calls John Lewis a peacemaker, which Lewis was, but the statement that McConnell made comes from a bigoted leader of a bigoted party.

1. They always want peace and compromise when they're losing.

When they’re winning, all we ever hear is, “No compromise. Elections have consequences.”

3. He is probably already crafting a deal to out of prison.

He has quite a bit to fear from a restored DOJ. Senator or Citizen life is not promising.

4. It's not just trump, the entire rethug party is incapable of dealing with crisis

And Moscow Mitch is more of a figurehead for what the party is than idiot orange. We need to purge our government of these assholes.

5. There is a definite pattern.

They hurl the charge of partisanship at the Democrats as their first move making everything that follows look like partisan bickering. Three examples; the impeachment hearings, Trump forcing full school openings, and McConnell yesterday after release of their relief package.

What I have seen from Democrats over the years is engagement with actual problems and creative solutions. Sometimes the solutions have unintended consequences or might not work as expected, but they are not concocted simply to oppose republicans. The republicans seem bent on portraying Democrats as illegitimate, unworthy of good faith negotiations.
