McConnell says he and Biden aren't talking

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Wednesday that he's barely spoken to President Biden since the Jan. 20 inauguration, accusing the White House of shifting to the "hard left."

"I don't believe I've spoken with him since he was sworn in," McConnell said during an interview with Fox News, adding that he hadn't been invited to the White House either.

Spokespeople for McConnell didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but clarified to CNN that while they had spoken since the Jan. 20 inauguration that they haven't talked about the agenda.

McConnell previously told reporters on Feb. 2 that he and Biden had spoken about Burma and the budget process and coronavirus relief. Democrats used a special process known as budget reconciliation to pass their sweeping $1.9 trillion bill over GOP objections. The filibuster cannot be used to slow measures moved under the budgetary rules.

1. Sorry not sorry

[DENVERPOPS]

46. Agree

Not a BFD..........

[Frustratedlady]

2. Good for Joe. You aren't that important anymore, Mitch.

You're probably using your free time plotting your next shenanigans.

[Trueblue1968]

33. You aren't that important anymore, Bitchy Mitch.

[Raven123]

3. Thank goodness. Hate to see Joe waste His time

[bucolic_frolic]

4. With a good stroke of luck

McConnell may never be relevant again. But then again, he could be, and the replacement SOB will be cut from the same cloth and have more energy. But no one is able to mumble and keep their mouths shut like Moscow Mitch.

[PoliticAverse]

5. This is good news, right? n/t

[Midnight Writer]

6. Obama invited Mitch to the White House and Mitch refused to shake Obama's hand.

Mitch calls himself The Grim Reaper and has repeatedly said he wants all Democratic backed initiatives to fail.

Why in the world would Biden want to invite Mitch to the White House?

Mitch was caught lying about this very issue. Either he lied when he said he hasn't spoken to Biden since Jan. 20, or he lied when he says he spoke to Biden Feb. 2.

Both of these contradicting statements cannot be true.

McConnell is a roadblock, and nothing else. Unless he can deliver some Republican votes, what he wants is irrelevant, and we need to work around him.

[smb]

23. Maybe He Wasn't Actually Lying

Maybe his brain is starting to turn purple like his hands.

[PJMcK]

7. President Biden has nothing to gain from McConnell

McConnell blocks everything that he can if it's supported by Democrats and/or the American people.

What incentive is there to converse with him? What would be the point?

President Biden has serious work to do. This requires serious people. McConnell isn't serious, has lost some of his powers and has become irrelevant. Fuck him.

You go, Joe!

[marble falls]

8. So the roses, candy and intransigence didn't work?

[twodogsbarking]

9. Hard left?

More like a U turn. Suck it up Mitch, more is coming.

[edhopper]

10. We don't negotiate

with terrorists!

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Biden was a Senator 12 years (2 terms) before Turtle arrived

and worked in that chamber for 35 years before becoming a VP. He knows where Turtle's skeletons reside.

12. Boo Fucking Hoo..... n/t

13. Why do the QOP always have to "clarify"? Because McConnell lied & they did speak:

clip from OP's article:

"Spokespeople for McConnell didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but clarified to CNN that while they had spoken since the Jan. 20 inauguration that they haven't talked about the agenda.

McConnell previously told reporters on Feb. 2 that he and Biden had spoken about Burma and the budget process and coronavirus relief. Democrats used a special process known as budget reconciliation to pass their sweeping $1.9 trillion bill over GOP objections. The filibuster cannot be used to slow measures moved under the budgetary rules."

[Fla Dem]

14. Gee, how does it feel to be ignored and unimportant Mitch?

Pretty much how Trumpelstiltskin treated the Democrats for 4 years.

[onetexan]

15. so Moscow Mitch is pissed MoJo is giving him the cold shoulder?

shoulda thought of that when you failed to acknowledge the legitimacy of the 2020 elections & MoJo's outright rout of the Con, you old Fool.

[AndyS]

16. "Why don't YOU have a drink with McConnel?"

[Maxheader]

17. pos backstabbin *&$@

and you know what? mitch the bitch really doesn't care imho....

[iluvtennis]

18. He should talk to Schumer. He should only get to Presiden Biden thru Schumer. nt

[yaesu]

19. President Biden knows that learning turtle speak is a waste of time anyway. nt

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

20. Anyone who says that Biden is a "hard leftist" is either a fool or a liar.

And no matter what one may say about MCConnell (and who doesn't), he isn't a fool.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. What would be the point to meet with Dr. No (aka Moscow Mitch)? No value at all.

[peppertree]

22. Lucky for Joe!

I bet he turned to Jill and said: "As my mother would say, thank heaven for small mercies."

[Marthe48]

24. mcconnell proved he won't negotiate

and is either acting like a child or my crazy aunt by living inhis own reality and ignoring what he doesn't or doesn't like.

I wouldn't talk to a child in a permanent tantrum or my crazy aunt when she was in a snit. Total waste of time.

[DFW]

25. There isn't a pressing need for a lot of face time if all McTurtle is going to say is:

"I'm gong to block as many of your initiatives and nominations as I can."

To which Biden will respond, "tell me something I DON'T know."

Biden doesn't need to waste his valuable time for a conversation that could be carried out on two post cards.

[TomDaisy]

28. Biden responds "Will you shut up, you gum-swallowing chicken-hearted turtle-pony!"

[DFW]

31. That fits on a post card! n/t

[TomDaisy]

26. I hope Mitch will cry himself to sleep.

[sop]

27. Didn't Mitch say the same thing about Trump?

[TomDaisy]

30. Maybe it's you, Mitch

[CloudWatcher]

29. That's great news!

I'm encouraged that President Biden is taking care of his mental health.

[hibbing]

32. A penny increase in minimum wage would be labeled communism

So, screw him and that whole corrupt party.


Peace

[Skittles]

34. GOOD

FUCK THAT AMERICA-HATING PIECE OF SHIT McCONNELL

[C Moon]

35. Maybe Biden knows something about McConnell.

[IronLionZion]

36. Mitch should go to Moscow and talk to Putin

and just stay there

[YoshidaYui]

37. Well, ... who would want to talk to an Asshole?

[bahboo]

38. well...he's lying, what a surprise....

they have talked and his staff admitted it. The turtle is on his back flailing right now...

[cayugafalls]

39. Awe, Well, Turtle, if you want a 'hard left' I'd be glad to give one to ya!

[rurallib]

40. First off anything this an says is a lie.......................

[Roy Rolling]

41. Talking?

Talking ain’t worth a shit. It’s listening where we learn new ideas.

It’s not the talking he misses, Biden is doing plenty of that—in word and actions.

What Mitch misses is listening because nobody’s listening to him anymore. They weren’t listening to him in the first place, they were listening to the Senate Majority Leader. And that’s not Mitch anymore, so the listening goes to Schumer now.

[Talitha]

42. Mitch, you lost the spotlight so deal with it... and maybe get some Tic-Tacs?

[Dan]

43. Almost feel sorry for Moscow Mitch. Biden is screwing him and

Trump is trying to screw him. Front and Back, he’s just getting screwed.

[keithbvadu2]

44. Big deal! Moscow Mitch had not spoken much to Donald in the last few months of office.

Big deal! Moscow Mitch had not spoken much to Donald in the last few months of office.

[BigmanPigman]

45. Biden has sense.

[MissMillie]

47. The right is so far right they wouldn't know where to find the middle. (n/t)

.

[WinstonSmith4740]

48. And the problem is...?

It's not like he's willing to actually do anything. I think he's beginning to feel his power slip away...he's grasping at straws.

[JohnnyRingo]

49. Anything for your country, right Mitch?

The republicans need a new anthem that only includes them.

Our country 'tis of us, sweet land of G-O-P
Of thee I'm in deficit
Land where our justice died
Land of the wealthy's pride
From ev'ry lobbyist's side
Let the rest eat shit

[Jopin Klobe]

50. McConnell says he and Biden aren't talking - ?

So, what's the problem, Cap'n Sewerwater? ...

... that's the way you like it with popularly voted, two-term President Obama ...

... is it just the cravenly crooked that you identify with? ...

[Cha]

51. Fucking turtlehead said he

wasn't going to speak to Traitortrump again, too.. when the Orange Ogre was still in power.

That's his Whiny ass MO.

[Bristlecone]

52. It's a two way wire Mitch, you A-hole.

Guaranteed he has made zero effort to reach out to POTUS.

[machoneman]

53. Oh Boo-Hoo!

[machoneman]

54. Oh Boo-Hoo!

[LiberalFighter]

55. I thought he only mumbles.
