McConnell''s "play by my rules or I'll turn into a dick" gambit

[Miles Archer]

I assume the "warning shots" he's firing about his "scorched earth" wet dream are for the benefit of anyone who hasn't followed his career up to this point.

He STILL THINKS HE IS THE MAJORITY LEADER. the "grim reaper," and that he's calling the shots.

We really, really, really need to put forth a Herculean effort in 2022 to turn out the vote and KEEP HIM as MINORITY "leader."

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. His threats are a joke.

[WestIndianArchie]

2. Steamroll them

Do everything you couldn't get done in the last 40 years, in the next 2...

[brush]

6. Ahhh...we did get his ass out of the majority leader post 4 months ago.

It started then.

[leftieNanner]

3. Or "Play by my rules"

"And I'll continue to do what I have been doing for the past 12 years."

I do hope he is panicking. I do hope that he is seeing his life of obstruction flashing before his eyes.

[Mister Ed]

4. Scorched earth?

He turned the U.S. Senate into a wasteland of scorched earth twelve years ago, and it's been that way ever since. What does he think he's going to do? Re-scorch the same earth? Some threat.

[AleksS]

5. When has he ever NOT acted scorched earth?

I remember some recent Supreme Court vacancies.....

[Bev54]

7. Too late, he has always been a dick!

[lastlib]

18. TBH, he's just a foreskin....

He's not big enough to be a full dick.

[Bev54]

23. LOL

[WheelWalker]

25. Not even that.

A dildo.

[ShazzieB]

26. That made me laugh really hard!

My cat was lying on top of me at the time (she has a habit of mistaking me for a cat bed). She did not appreciate my sudden guffaw.

[PortTack]

8. No so worried about the senate, in fact it appears we may gain 1-2 seats at the midterm

We’ve got to

KEEP THE HOUSE BLUE IN ‘22!! Pass it on

[sarcasmo]

9. How can Mitch turn into a Dick when he is already a Dick.

[KPN]

10. Lol. What a dick head. Some news for you turtlehead,

you already scorched the frigging earth, it can’t get anymore scorched. All you got is blanks. Get used to being the loser you always were in reality. Your whole frigging life is an overcompensation for being a wimpy, no mas loser.

[monkeyman1]

11. OL' DICK HEAD MITCH IS TOAST & WHINING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL! SUCK IT UP MITCH

[Warpy]

12. he's been nothing but a dick every single time he's held the majority leader position

I don't see a damned thing changing just because we're threatening to take his binkie away for the next two years.

He has blocked every single bill passed by the House in the past 2 years. No one was ever meant to hold that much power in government. He's got to be neutralized any way they can do it.

One corrupt man from KY should not be able to hold the whole country hostage.

I want him to live just long enough to see everything he's done collapse into foul smelling dust.

[The Wizard]

20. +1

[Blue Owl]

13. The minority drama queen's gambit

[rickyhall]

14. Too late, McTurtle's already a dick, the slowest.

[Under The Radar]

15. McConnell has single handedly done more to abuse democracy than Putin has attempted

[niyad]

16. Frankly, I am hoping that the rot inside finishes with him before then.

[TheRealNorth]

17. I think Biden has it right

Go back to the old rules regarding Filibusters. Make them embarrass themselves.

[The Wizard]

19. He's used this ploy before. Call him out.

Provisions to help Arizona and West Virginia working class victims could benefit the Democrats. The filibuster is all McConnell has, and he's abused that process more than any senator in history. He never tells the truth. He's Roy Cohn with a Kentucky drawl.

[Orrex]

21. Turn into?

[czarjak]

22. Whack-a-Mole Mitch needs a damned good whacking.

[regnaD kciN]

24. When HASN'T he been a dick...?

Besides, he lost all right to invoke “the sanctity of the filibuster” when he killed it for SCOTUS nominations.

[struggle4progress]

[Gaugamela]

27. Sorry McTurtle, but no one's playing your games anymore. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

You’re not the grim reaper, but he’s on your doorstep. You and your Jim Crow crowd can go lay your GOP turd in a hole in the ground. Six feet long and six feet deep.
