Hardball politics is OK...

..if Mitch does it but if the Dems bring a bigger knife to the fight, it's a call to arms. He is a hypocritical so and so...


"McConnell got McConnelled," said Brookings Institution senior fellow William Galston, noting the Kentucky Republican's long use of hardball tactics to block Democratic initiatives, including former President Barack Obama's appointment of a Supreme Court justice in 2016.

McConnell sidestepped questions about the political maneuver but told Reuters in a brief interview that Democrats would regret moving forward on the legislation. Among other things, the legislation sets a 15% minimum tax rate on corporations and promotes electric vehicles.

"It's an unmitigated disaster for the country and we're going to fight it as hard as we can," McConnell said.

If it isn’t the taste of Mitch’s own medicine.

Play as dirty as you can, Dems, including a filibuster kill and SCOTUS expansion to restore our rights.
