If Mitch McConnell had pushed for conviction of Trump after getting impeached for January 6th...

Who would be President now? It sure wouldn't be Trump, as he would not be allowed to ever run for public office again if he were convicted.

1. And even now, even GODDAMN NOW if he had a chance to do it all over

He would do the same fucking thing.

[Moostache]

2. Do you believe Trump IS president now?

I do not.
Elon Musk bought the government and the price was $250M and a promise to say nice things about (and act a fool at events for) Minister for Revenge Trump.

There is no ideas in Trump's empty rotting head for anything other than what he has always been - a pathetic, damaged and unloving and unloved human piece of shit caused by another warped piece of shit named Fred. Period.

3. Mitch has no honor. Never really did.

4. & his vote against GABBARD only means he knew his vote wouldn't stop her.

7. And RFK Jr. too today

Yup, it didn't matter.

8. Yip, his standard m.o., win-win for him, gets to appear a little bit principled while only

voting that way when he knows it won't defeat his wingnuts. PATEL next week. The "concerned" ones - Collins, Grassley, Cassidy - at least vote their real, cowardly selves.

11. Not exactly.

The "concerned" ones are the ones that listen to McConnell. This is all calculated. John Thune doesn't get magical powers now that he was put in charge of the caucus. Much like Nancy Pelosi wields power in the House, McConnell remains a de facto leader by virtue of his just being there.

If he wanted absolution of leadership, he'd resign from the Senate.

5. If a frog had wings

he wouldn't bust his ass a hoppin'

6. mcconnell and garland have done their best to

ensure that the American experiment fails.

God help us all.

9. Well, this post certainly didn't go as planned

It received six replies, but zero answers to the question:

Who would be President now?

[mr715]

12. I appreciated you.

You raised an important question. Happy to provide my answer.

[mr715]

10. Ron DeSantis

Or Don Jr, honestly.

[GoodRaisin]

13. Add to that if he had not orchestrated the theft of 2 Democratic

President’s SCOTUS nominations.

I don’t have two shits to give for McConnell’s new worthless change of heart now. He has had a major hand in setting up this government to be taken over by lawless MAGA thugs. He is one.of their MVPs.
