"McConnell told others he was enraged with Trump and planned to never speak to him again"

[steve2470]

“Although the Vice President and I were not together during the evacuation, he personally got very involved and stayed in close contact with me as we worked to secure urgently needed resources to thwart the mob and I appreciate those efforts greatly,” McConnell said in a statement to The Washington Post. McConnell told others he was enraged with Trump and planned to never speak to him again.

No sympathy. They all are getting what they deserve and they deserve much worse.

[RandySF]

1. So brave.

Just before Trump is about to leave.

[TheBlackAdder]

26. He's the Hans Blix in this scene. (Very, very angry and will send a letter saying it)

.

.

[JHB]

39. Though we should remind people that Blix was right...

...and stuff like this was part of the campaign of ridicule and character assassination against him which, while not technically "orchestrated" by the Bush administration, was, shall we say, greatly encouraged.

[TheBlackAdder]

41. Most of us know this, and take the movie for what it's worth.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

2. Mad at the monster he made?

How literary.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Fuck off...you created Frankenstein.

[Kablooie]

4. They were handed an opportunity to avoid this and decided to ignore it.

[RockRaven]

5. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

fuck yourself, Mitch!

[meadowlander]

6. Well Mitch, there's a much easier way to achieve that

than delaying the impeachment vote until the 19th.

[Midnight Writer]

7. McConnell refused to speak to Obama, too. Wouldn't even shake the hand Obama held out.

[dchill]

8. Way too little. WAY too late.

[SunSeeker]

9. But Mitch is still carrying Trump's water by blocking the impeachment trial.

[OnDoutside]

12. Well he's really carrying the water for himself and the GOP.

[Blue Owl]

10. Time to rewrite the ending of the Tortoise and the Hairplug

They BOTH lose

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Agreed.

[OnDoutside]

11. So does that mean no Infrastructure Week ?

[SheltieLover]

13. Mitch, who will not bring impeachment to the floor!

[DFW]

14. If McConnell is angry at Trump

My fear is that the turtle is not angry about the plan per se, but rather because it failed, and put Republicans in a worse position than they were before.

[BainsBane]

15. And what about those articles of impeachment?

Tell Pelosi you'll bring them up as soon as you receive them. Then we might believe you are remorseful.

[badboy67]

17. Moscow Mitch

[MagickMuffin]

18. What MoscowMitch Spoke? If his lips are moving he is lying

I wouldn't believe him no matter what he says. He is a liar and a supporter of the OVER THROWING OF OUR GOVERNEMENT!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. Rethugs are always remorseful only long after they've done their damage.

Mitch is just pissed because Rethugs have lost their grip on power. I'm hoping he'll resign.

Now everyone knows why we've been trying to Ditch Mitch since he was first elected......

[herding cats]

20. They're playing CYA for each other and themselves. No more, no less.

This is all theater to try and pull themselves out from beneath the rubble Trump rained down on their heads. I don't buy one moment of these orchestrated dramas.

Where were they these past 4 years, let alone this past year? Most especially, where were they this past election cycle and all that's been said since it began? Nope, they don't get to suddenly get to pretend they've not been propping him up for their own gain. They freaking fundraised off him. He was their man 100%.

While McConnell was busy cramming through judges, Trump, their party leader, was conspiring to circumvent our very democracy in plain site on social media and via official POTUS press moments. He orchestrated every moment which took place. In freaking pubic for the love of Pete! All while ignoring the COVID-19 pandemic killing record amounts of American citizens (bad optics for Trump) and saying we should us internal UV lights and IV bleach along with hydroxychloroquine as a cure. "When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done." They let that shit pass as a National response to a pandemic. Really, they think we're that stupid we forgot all about all of the past 4 years?!

No, they're not slithering out of the final act. They own the insurrectionist at the capital, the 5 dead in the attack and the international shame it brought us. Just like they must own their blind loyalty to Trump for the past 4 years. They own it all.

[pbmus]

21. What a grand gesture...never speak with him again, 🤦‍♀️

[CentralMass]

22. McConnell is every bit as culpable as Donold Trump in this coup attempt..

If there is one figure that can orchestrate the removal of tRump for committing sedition it is Mitch McConnell. Either by fast tracking impeachment and or by putting his political weight behind invoking the 25th Amendment.

McConnell is doing what he has always done and that is anything but representing the people of this country and acting in their best interests.
This is just another example that Mitch McConnell has zero interest in doing the right thing or doing the business of this country. He is the paid shill of the oligarchy like Mercer, Koch, etc. He is their personal employee.

[Marie Marie]

23. Yea, but I'll bet he still thinks all those judges were worth it.

F him.

[mackdaddy]

24. Then bring back the Senate Thursday and have the Impeachment trial.

Just play the damn videos and Vote.

I don't know how there could be a more open and shut case.

Trump could be out by Thursday Afternoon if Mitch wanted.

[Solly Mack]

25. ...

McConnell is every bit as guilty as Trump/Pence/MAGA.

He's hoping to shape the narrative otherwise, because he knows the GOP has taken a blow. MM doesn't care about Trump or MAGA - he only cared about pushing his own agenda forward and getting Trump's signature. To that end, he enabled Trump. He protected Trump.

And he is just as guilty as Trump.

[yuiyoshida]

27. Maybe McConnell will be pissed off enough to never speak to anyone again

including his wife!

[William Seger]

28. Think about this, Mitch: No conviction means four years of Trump campaign rallies

... and vindictive narcissistic rages against traitors like you who helped steal his kingdom.

[cstanleytech]

30. Mitch and the other Republicans that were licking Trumps boots until now are counting on the varies

social media sites to keep him their bans in place.
After all keep in mind 99.9% of them like Mitch only miraculously found they had a spine after Twitter and other sites banned Trump.

[uponit7771]

33. +1, Mitch is short chinned and short sighted

[cstanleytech]

29. Mitch and many other Republicans would still be licking Trumps boots at this moment had Trump won.

[Granny M]

31. Ooooooo...

That’ll terrify him. What a big man you are, Mitch.

[uponit7771]

32. lol .... Yeah Mitch 🙄🙄🙄

[onetexan]

34. you reap what you sow. Mcconnell has no shame.

[duforsure]

35. By Mitch refusing to act at once to vote for his conviction,

He exposes he's lying. He's well aware what trumps attempting to do, and he knows it'll save him from becoming exposed if he remains in control, and Cruz and others know this too. Hopefully the law will come after some of these republicans in Congress involved with this, and corruption , and taking bribes from putin, and round them up. McConnell's protecting trump, again, not us.

[North Shore Chicago]

37. Next....

Mitch eats a worm and yells Neener! Neener!

[malaise]

38. Really now

Just resign and go ventilate yourself MosowMitch - you were the enabler in chief.

[Luz]

40. He means he can't bring himself to utter the words

"Yes sir, Mr. President" anymore. It seemed easy enough the past 4 years..what's changed?
