We are talking about the deep, years long involvement of a current sitting US president with a sex trafficking pedophile. We are talking about a highly suspicious suicide he committed while in the custody of the Justice Department under Trump's authority during his first Presidency.
We are talking about yet another prosecutable case that the Biden administration wouldn't prosecute because they didn't want to "look political." Or, more plausible, because he appointed an attorney general who was an incompetent boob. This just goes around and around and around
One of our allies is covering something up by bombing its most vulnerable neighbors out of their homes, while another of our allies as been under an unjustified and wholly aggressive attack because it wants to live free like we do. And through all of that, our politicians are talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. And while we have Democrats making angry speeches and statements to the press, and making sure their re-election fundraising appeals go out on a regular basis, and Republicans wallowing in their own incompetence, nothing of significance or importance is getting done. And it won't.
Mitch McConnell has been a huge thorn in the side of Democrats ever since he was first elected to an office he corruptly and deviously held on to for decades. He is a horrible politician, when it comes to achieving anything useful, but he is a corrupt and devious game player who successfully used what power he had, especially when his party was in the minority, to frustrate Democrats and force them to acquiesce. So where's our Mitch McConnell?

A supreme disappointment. Probably a closet republican.

Thereby showing us all who they really are, and revealing that "republicon family values" are a crock of PR crap
