McConnell warns Democrats 'will permanently disfigure the Senate'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ripped into Democrats for blocking a narrow coronavirus aid package while at the same time promising to rid the Senate of the filibuster they used to prevent the measure from moving to the floor for debate.

McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, warned Senate Democrats, if they take the majority in the November election, will move to get rid of the 60-vote threshold required to pass legislation and revert to a simple majority.

“This threat to permanently disfigure the Senate has been the latest growing drumbeat in the modern Democratic Party war against our governing institutions,” McConnell said Monday on the Senate floor.

McConnell accused Democrats of “shameless hypocrisy” for using the filibuster to block the GOP coronavirus bill last week.

Oh STFU McConnell. You're about as bad as Trump complaining there will be rioting in the streets if Biden is elected.

There is rioting in the streets now and the Senate is disfunctional thanks to you.

1. Moscow Mitch gets my middle finger

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. Playing the worlds tiniest violin for Moscow Mitch

[kimbutgar]

3. He is the one who has disfigured the Senate by breaking down norms and his only

Legislative achievements has been lowering taxes on the rich and obstructing everything President Obama Wanted. And don’t get me started on Merrick Garland. He chose party over country. He is the true ugly monster.

[SharonAnn]

38. You are absolutely right!

[c-rational]

4. Yes, STFU Moscow Mitch. You are responsiblle for the greatest disffigurement of the Senate in

its history.

[calguy]

5. I have to agree with Mitch on this one

If Democrats take over the Senate we won't be able to recognise it from what we see today. Under Democrats, the Senate will actually become a functioning legislative body once again. Can you imagine horror of a Senate that works for the people?

[sarcasmo]

6. Translate: I will no longer be Senate Majority Leader.

[LisaL]

7. That's not exactly a bad thing.

[dalton99a]

8. Moscow Mitch destroyed the Senate to protect Trump, stack the courts, and enrich himself.

[Laelth]

9. Disfigure? You mean we're going to take control of it? Yes.

You mean we’re going to eliminate the filibuster? I hope so. If the Republicans are so fond of the filibuster, they will be welcome to restore it when they next control the Senate. Will they? Of course not, and that just proves that the filibuster has outlived its usefulness.

[Thekaspervote]

11. If that's what mcturtle says...hey, I'm all for it! It definitely needs disfiguring

[RestoreAmerica2020]

[stillcool]

13. god I hope so!...

the Senate is in desperate need of being disfigured, as does Mitch himself. Brush off the cobwebs, you don't know what you're going to find.

[Solly Mack]

14. He needs to die already.

From natural causes, of course.

[Blue Owl]

15. Get ready fucko

You're gonna be history very, very soon

[NurseJackie]

16. Mcconnell can kiss my anus.

[roamer65]

17. It needs it.

FUCK THE TURTLE.

[helpisontheway]

18. F you Moscow Mitch! Nt

[lastlib]

37. With a pitchfork.

An old, rusty, manure-encrusted, virus- and tetanus-infected pitchfork. Sideways. With extreme violence.

Aside from that, I'm pretty much neutral on him..................

[JHB]

19. "Disfigurement!" cries the slasher about the reconstructive surgery his victim will need to undergo.

[Xolodno]

20. Says the man who filibustered his own bill....

....once he realized his move was going to backfire in a real bad way.

He eliminated decorum in the Senate, doesn't lead, only blocks most of the time and only compromises when its bad for him and his colleagues re-election chances if they maintain opposition.

He's a fake, farce and a phony. And his grave will always have a strong smell of urine in the morning.

[Maven]

21. The 60 vote rule is really just a way to prevent Dems from governing

even when they win by millions of votes. McConnell is terrified of the deck being unstacked even a little bit. The filibuster needs to die so that America can live.

[smirkymonkey]

22. Hey, Mitch!

[LisaL]

23. Yea, you won't even recognize it after this election.

[Freethinker65]

24. Merrick Garland.

[efhmc]

25. Please allow me to translate: Democrats will return our country to a rule of law.

Shocking and scary, but that is what will happen.

[jmowreader]

26. McConnell is the one who "permanently disfigured" the Senate

The country will not survive if we don't kill the filibuster.

[GoCubsGo]

27. Can't "disfigure" it more than you've already done, asshole.

[Tarc]

28. Hey, Mitch

[spanone]

29. Gawd, I hope so.

[vercetti2021]

30. Eat shit and die McConnell

Guess what the filibuster is going away and we're going to expand the court and give statehood to DC and Puerto Rico. You wanna play dirty? We can too.

[Initech]

31. No, that was you, Moscow Mitch.

[chowder66]

32. The Republicans disfigured it. The Democrats will build it back better.

[Crunchy Frog]

33. Lots of projection and gaslighting going on there.

[bdamomma]

34. Hey Mitch

STFU and retire, don't you have enough money? you and your wife. STFU turtle.

[JDC]

35. Jeezus H this F is a charlatan

Disfigure away folks.

[demtenjeep]

36. that's a bad thing?
