This is great new right? With the GOP on board, the Democrats should unveil a Constitutional amendment to turn over Citizens United TOMORROW... right? I mean, it would pass unanimously, right? If McConnell really wants companies out of politics???

x1 trillion

1. The fascist pig still wants their money in his pocket I bet.

[BlueNProud]

13. Yep. Gimme your dough and shut up.

[blm]

2. Public financing of campaigns. No corporate donations,

No corporate pacs.

[Frustratedlady]

3. Do the lobbyists for these companies still write new legislation?

Don't the companies spend tons of money on donations to the Repukes? Moscow Mitch is willing to give that up? After all, he can't have it both ways.

Mitchy sounds like he's flirting with dementia of late. Is it just me that thinks that?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. Many people are saying that (nt)

[Sanity Claws]

4. Does that mean no lobbying too?

Or is it that he just wants to hear from corporations when they are putting money in his pocket?

[Iggo]

6. Is he gonna give back all those campaign donations?

[Hekate]

7. Nicolle Wallace & her panel of 3 former Repubs could hardly contain their guffaws...

Michael Steele was part of the panel. The look on their faces was absolutely priceless.

[Rebl2]

20. Wish I could

have seen that

[Hekate]

29. I meant "guffaws" figuratively, sorry. Should have said "mirth," as more accurate...

The look on their faces was still priceless.

[Lovie777]

8. Oh the irony . . .

[sheshe2]

9. Well Mitch?

I want your wife prosecuted for abuse of power while in office and you along with her.

[bdamomma]

10. tough words

there Mitch??? You lie, you love those corporate donors

[nuxvomica]

11. The Republican party has become the cliche of that kid

The one who always liked hanging out at the junkyard, throwing bottles at rats with his friends. Well, the friends have grown up and started taking their lives seriously, maybe they barely notice him now when they see him on street; if they they do they just sort of shake their heads. But he's still down there at the junkyard every weekend wondering where all his buddies went.

[BlueNProud]

12. Ok ya gotta deal turtle man

no donations to either party.

[WVreaper]

14. Somebody just stepped in a big pile of dogshit.

We can the Senate get started! Let's help Mitch keep all corporation out of politics.

[rsdsharp]

15. Apparently, Mitch believes money is speech,

but speech isn’t.

[hibbing]

16. Kick n/t

[monkeyman1]

17. his republican mob buddiesis not going to like this shit!!! especially drumpf .

[gratuitous]

18. That's tough, Senator

Too bad you couldn't repeal "turnabout is fair play" while your good friend Donald Trump was squatting in the Oval Office. Because your protests now ring pretty hollow after so many years of courting and using monied corporate interests to do your bidding and screw over so many Americans.

[KPN]

19. Two faced piece of excrement.

[3catwoman3]

21. But, but,, but...

Isn’t money = speech? Is the Turdle (not a typo) trying to limit free speech?

[bringthePaine]

22. dance like no one's watching, legislate like refuKKKchickens are irrelevant...

[Volaris]

23. I say take him up on his offer.

And fucking DARE his wanna be reaper ass to vote against
publicly funded elections.

He just stepped on his own dick. Let's make sure theres nails in his shoes.

[jcgoldie]

24. I thought corporations are people!

Mitch takes hypocrisy to new levels seemingly monthly.

[thenelm1]

25. Too bad I can't like each of these individual posts.

The hypocrisy in that statement by the turtle is eye-popping. Along with stomach turning. Then again it's hard to find a more repulsive figure in politics today than the turtle. Trump is close, but he only got to spew his poison for fours years. The turtle has been disgorging his venom and gawd awfulness for way too many years. He has literally transformed from human into an evil incarnate Gollum looking creature over the years.

[monkeyman1]

27. turtle

turtle told donny what to do. donny just run's his mouth. moscow mitch pulled all the the string's. djt is in know way that smart . mitch built his ass & trump thought he was smart enough to run the election process . how'd that work out for him? every time dumb dumb run's a scam , he get's nailed & lawyers get him out ! not this time. mitch is letting him go down & mitch is running for the high country. he has to much heat on his ass right now & can't figure away out . just a matter of time .

[Crunchy Frog]

26. But what about corporate personhood?

What about corporations being people with free speech rights?

You wanna push a constitutional ammendment limiting their power? I'm game.

[StarlightGold]

28. Really, dick?

Or else....what?

[DFW]

30. Is he sponsoring a repeal of Citizens United, that let donors remain unlimited and anonymous?

I thought not.

[Old Crank]

31. Putin has

Promised him enough cash to keep running for office.

[LuckyLib]

32. All you can do is laugh. Mitch can't even keep his BS straight anymore.

[kentuck]

33. Yes! Repeal Citizens United! And get corporations out of politics!

Did Mitch really mean to say that!??
