Harry Reid goes BOOM

Harry Reid, speaking from the Senate floor just now (remarks about Republican leader’s support for Trump in spite of his racist and misogynist stance): “There doesn’t seem to be any daylight between Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.”

Wow.

Mitch has a wealthy Chinese wife and Trump hasn't spared Asians in his stupid rants. But in the end, revenge for Obama's election trumps all.

If McConnell had criticized him for his 'Mexican Judge' rant, Trump would probably be on the phone to Alex Jones within the hour, blathering about Mitch McConnell's "Chinese wife" and his rich "chinese father in law, who is involved with smuggling drugs into the USA." He went after Jeb Bush's wife. McConnell's wife would be easy by comparison.

Golden gloves taught him that. He undoubtedly learned the rope-a-dope from Muhammed Ali.


Not my caption, but that's Harry.

He and his crew of anti-patriots are stalling government operations on every front. No SCOTUS nominee votes or lower court judge hearings. A complete collapse of Jeffersonian Democracy!

One thing for sure, the GOP knows how to make government not work. Simple. Do nothing and vote no on everything that comes up.

Fuck Mitch McConnell and the GOP scourge!!

Jacksonian Democracy.

After watching politics because a pandering race to the bottom (Adlai Stevenson said it best. When we was told all thinking people supported him, he asked how he could earn a majority), I am starting to think Hamiltonian Democracy is better.

Shit, I support Parliamentary Democracy over the bullshit we have.

McConnell can't even respond to that. What's he to say, that he's nothing like their prime candidate?

hahaha
