Mitch McConnell is going down...

Remarks about what?

He's old. He's unhealthy. He's in no shape to do any bellowing and threatening, which is all the Senate Minority Leader has to do.

And his corrupt wife is going down. When the Feds claw back the money she took from improper business deals she controlled in her job as Secretary of Transportation, Mitch will be broke, too.

Good.

I picture Mitch being like Dracula; until all the boxes of KY dirt are destroyed where he can possibly hide & a stake put through his heart and garlic stuffed in his mouth, I will not believe he's actually dead

Nah, he's just an old man, unworthy of all the expensive socialized medicine he has enjoyed as a senior citizen and as a Senator. His time will run out. And when it does, he'll go directly to Hell with the rest of the Republicans.

Well, KY recently changed the law to require the Gov (a Democrat) to pick one of three candidates submitted by the party of the outgoing Senator. So, get ready for Sen. Cameron.

There have been rumors for months that Mitch is not well. I think that the loss of the Senate was a tremendous blow to him. Now when he’s out there pleading with corporations not to support democracy he seems weak and crazy. It’s as if he’s not as sharp as he once was.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Some people age gradually but some people just wake up one day and it’s all over. Time to move him into a retirement home aka federal prison. He is the most corrupt, pay-to-play crook in the history of the senate.

If you get a chance, listen to the remarks on audio before you see the visual. They guy is toast.

He is even powerful anymore. He’s a joke. Exposed.

Game over.

Loser.

This is a link-free thread and largely meaningless as such.

Some men who live for power age incredibly fast once they lose it -- The difference in Nelson Rockefeller from when he was still VP and to his death three years later is startling.

But didn't Nelson Rockefeller die screwing some woman in bed? Old boy was still getting some.

He was still a horny old goat, but he went from looking like a elder statesman to just an elderly man - his looks and bearing really went quickly.

Seems like he had a stroke or heart attack.

After living through Polio, he turns around and intentionally tried to spread Covid far and wide.

Oh gods of karma, why have you forsaken us?

Really, R5? Jesus fuck. They'll stop at nothing to ensure that "elections have consequences" when Republicans win but don't when Democrats do. Straight to hell with them all.

Going down on Elaine Chao's dragon pussy! He's not too feeble to enjoy the delights of Elaine's cooch, plus a little anal for dessert!

This guy is lol the biggest piece of s$&@ in history. The absolute worst.

R12 As VP Rockefeller was powerless. VP has only recently become a powerful position, starting with Al Gore.

Stumbling

Moscow Mitch is a cunt!

Until next Fall when dems lose the senate because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will continue to block the dems from passing overwhelmingly popular legislation

He looks fine to me.

Oops, was going for this one.

100% R5 is correct, sadly.

R7's post is the only one that matters

Mitt Romney is such a wuss. He could be senate minority leader but honestly I think Mitt is very lazy. A lot of the finance types are lazy at. They won’t lift a finger unless something is handed to them or they can “steal” it.

Otherwise they don’t bother.

I cannot figure out if he looks ill or old

He's both, R29. Both.

Mitch and Lindsey were "tight" when Lindsey first came to the Senate. Then something happened. Soon afterwards, Lindsey latched onto John McCain who wasn't a pal of Mitch.

Mitch would make a poor gentleman caller.

[quote] Until next Fall when dems lose the senate because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will continue to block the dems from passing overwhelmingly popular legislation

Did you get a check?

I don’t understand how someone elderly and ill clings to being a.total bastard day after day.

Now it’s about survival. All of his corruption could catch up to him for the first time in history. He is feeling the heat that he never thought he would. The wifey is radioactive in the international community. The usual suspects have sidelined her as she is now under investigation and a threat. His donors thought they were untouchable. The donors have discovered he is untouchable in a different way.

A messy end to any otherwise smooth criminal.

In an interview back several years ago, Elaine Chao said Mitch had to do his own laundry and his share of the housework. That sounds like a bearded marriage of convenience.

Obviously Mitch needs to help at home, but she was blunt about her rules.

These old fogies never learn. The trick is to take the money and run at the height of your game. Retire with grace and the bodies stay buried.

They just can’t let go of the ‘gavel’” That is way does them in in the end.

These types hang on way too long after the luck starts to run out and statistics catch up.

I’m pretty sure they have a maid, regardless of their strong PR game.

Such an asshole

Mitch isn’t really all that smart or machivlian. He is just marginally intelligent surrounded by a sea of fools.

In the land of the blind...

[quote] machivlian

Oh dear

I think McConnell is lightweight. He’s a sheep in wolves clothing.

But everybody in Washington is such a pushover fool. They are all so “scared” of him.

Wusses. The lot of ‘em.

This isn’t a spelling bee you hopeless geek.

McConnell is no political lightweight. He would step on babies if it enhanced his power. The man is ruthless.

The guy is sliding his words and his hands are about to fall off.

Next week he will have a glass eye and a hunch on his back. Now is the time to take this guy out and hold him accountable for 50 years of corruption.

What happened with justice Kennedy? What about the shady judges and him trying his damndest to kill pre-existing coverage.

His former position is what held the power. He is now a sitting duck.

I can’t wait for this fucker to die.

It would be nice to see him held accountable for all of his atrocities.

Despite my pessimism, I do think a reckoning is at hand for old Mitch and it will be so ironic that the person shitting all over him the most is the monster Mitch empowered: Derr Dump, who would've been nearly powerless without Mitch

A guy like this can’t afford to make the mistakes he made this week. Not to mention the eroding of his power and mystique under Plump. He was revealed as being nearly human.

Once a guy like this slips, it’s straight down the tubes. Tok many enemies, too many bodies.

Mitch and Elaine are heavily invested in her family's international cargo shipping company based in China. Yet the family was granted U.S. citizenship. In her multiple government/cabinet roles, her decisions favored the interests of the family business. While she was Secretary of Transportation, Kentucky business interests got some dandy contracts from the federal government. I expect Pete Buttigieg has plenty of cleaning-up to do at the DofT.

“a reckoning is at hand for old Mitch”

Seemingly out of nowhere, a drop of blood in the water.

And then two...

This is the downfall I have waiting my whole life for. Come on America. This parasite has done so much damage to this country. I want to see this crook have to testify for 11 hours.

I wonder if he’ll have a deathbed conversion like Lee Atwater.

This couple has so many sworn enemies that are just waiting for them to slip.

I really think the second that Pump was nominated, that was the end of Yertle. This supports the argument that McConnel is really a weak lightweight in wolfs clothing.

That very day of the nomination, Yertle was done. Like a flimsy piece of paper that has taken 5 years to waft back and forth downward through the air, back and forth from the perch from which it was tossed.

They are paper tigers, who’s power has been held up by Kochs and their relentless and effective PR from the tea party to freedom works to AFP, the Federalist and the whole stinky lot. It’s only about a dozen people and they got this country on puppet stings. Mitch is the public face of the cartel. The way to end this whole pageant is through K street.

Someone who is more crafty please make an organizational chart showing how the money goes from Koch to Yertle and then down the chain.

This effects every single person in America. It’s a parallel goverment and they run things down to the county level.

How Mitch treated Merrick Garland when Obama nominated Garland for the SCOTUS, was very disgusting. The hypocrisy shown later with the railroaded Amy Comey Barrett nomination, was disgraceful.

^Coney

Covid Amy

This old motherfucker is just crazy. He seriously said that corporations should stay out of politics, but of course still make their regular donations. Stay out of our business but show me the money, Delta, Coke,....

R45, he doesn’t have the strength to crush a baby. What he would do is sell the baby on the market and then leak it to the media that he stepped on the baby and then Fox and the Kochtopus would push memes that he is so scary and strong but really Plump exposed the whole thing as a sham so it’s all moot.

We have been in slow motion realizing that Plump completely ruined the RNC and took it for all it’s worth.

It will never recover and neither will Mitch. The Koch set will move on to someone new. K Street will crown a new king.

Let me tell you what is stupid. Staying in the bank after it’s already been robbed. And that is what Mitch did.

This fool. Plump flushed Mitch down the toilet and it’s just now sinking in with the public.

Paul Ryan was the smart one. Not Mitch.

Maybe Merrick Garland will have something finally on Mitch, though of course, he can't acknowledge anything but being impartial. But he'd probably relish the opportunity to delegate to other prosecutors lots of investigations of Yertle and Chao.

"Age cannot wither him

Nor custom stale his infinite variety..."

GRRR! WOOF! He's 100% all Southern he-man!

[quote]The Senate minority leader said corporations "have a right to participate in a political process" but should do so without alienating "an awful lot of people."

Live by the sword, Moscow Mitch. Live by the sword.

And I hope Democrats will never forget this. Unfortunately they seem to have a very short memory.

It's so funny how they all complain about bipartisanship now that they are no longer in power. Biden and the Dems should tell them to fuck off and go to hell.

And the new king must be immediately neutered. We can never anyone to do what Mitch the son of a cunt did to us. Never again.

[quote]We have been in slow motion realizing that Plump completely ruined the RNC and took it for all it’s worth.

What does the convention have to do with this?

Don't forget that this married man, this champion of family values, was kicked out of the Army for sucking cock and mysteriously was able to keep it secret for decades.

I would like see someone throw acid in his face and watch him burn like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz.

A vile human being. Honestly he and Trump are like comic book villains, but without the brains and twice the evil.

Thank God they are stupid. How much more badly fucked would we be if they were smart? Putin is behind this as well.. He has to be stopped.

Don't you love how Mitch made the Coke and MLB statements about politics and about Republic vs Democrats? "Guess what, Republicans drink Coke and like baseball, too" (veiled threat). He's trying to thread a very small needle there, basically admitting that making it easy to vote is something only Democrats will fight for, politicizing the defense of constitutional rights, and yet still declaring he's willing to take their money. Do you think even he knows what he's trying to do with that mishegoss?

He's a rotting corpse..rotting from the inside out from his putrid, decaying innards...the result of the caustic acid of his corruption and lies. It's taken over his body and brain, and is like a flesh eating amoeba.

It was predicted long ago on the psychic thread that MM would be destroyed once he lost power. I hope it is brutal and very painful.

Pix please! TIA

He tried to pander to the Trumpistas, by telling the corporations to stay out of politics. So then he had to add, “but sending checks is good.” He truly fucked up. He knows it. His attempt at backtracking is lame. Unfortunately, the trumpistas won’t notice.

Kentucky keeps returning this P.O.S. and his GQP colleagues keep making him their leader.

Basically, MoscowMitch is defending party moves to basically disenfranchise black voters. Rather than supporting some policies that would appeal to a significant number of black voters, the GQP has chosen to suppress the vote in order to cheat. This will backfire in due time.

Mitch knows he won't be finishing out his Senate term. He's already been trying to get the KY legislature to change the rules so that he can hand pick his successor, the AG who was trying to bury evidence in the Breonna Taylor shooting. But he's a black guy, so the GQP's can check off that box and declare they're not racist.

"tHE PoLiTIcS OF PErsoNal dEStrUctiON"

Saw him on TV the other night and he has had his face pulled a bit as it's now very smooth, and he has had some procedure to reduce that wattle. I think he just sees the handwriting on the wall and is moving on, or knows that he will need to negotiate his exit in return for a lesser sentence or no prosecution of his Asian beard.

From what R5 says, R79, he's already succeeded.

And Joe Manchin just gave him a present in an op-ed piece the former wrote.

Thanks R82, I hadn't heard that. I just looked it up and saw that the governor vetoed it but the legislature over-ruled it. It could be challenged in court, sounds like. Kentucky is just about as corrupt as Florida it seems.

Maybe Manchin has some personal scandal. Paging Kirstin Gillibrand!

[quote]It will never recover and neither will Mitch. The Koch set will move on to someone new. K Street will crown a new king.

No doubt the two ugly stepsisters Ted Cruz & Hawley are dualing for that crown as we speak

Randy Rainbow

Roy Blunt is not running again and I think he would've ascended to be the Senate leader if Turtle dies, but now that he's not running who would be next in line to be the GQP Senate leader? Closet case John Thune of SD? Or one of the more odious types like Little Marco or Lyin' Ted?

[quote]The Senate minority leader said corporations "have a right to participate in a political process" but should do so without alienating "an awful lot of people."

Gee, he doesn't seem to mind that his shit state (and others like it) with its no money, a population smaller than NYC alone and a completely regressive, antiquated, racist ideology has alienated a lot of people in places like NY, CA, MA, NJ, CT, etc.

When he heard Biden wants to expand the Supreme Court, he probably crumpled in tears.

R89 thinks these vile people actually give a fuck about their constituents, people from other states or their well being. Look at Ted Cruz heading to a Riz Carlton in Cancun, while kids where freezing in their beds.

R91, those constituents are stupid enough to support them all over and over and over again.

[quote]Maybe Manchin has some personal scandal.

If it involves sex with a relative, it won't matter -- he's from West Virginia.

Well, to be fair, Moscow Mitch has been going down for decades...on other dudes at any rate.

This is a Weekend at Bernie's situation. Mitch McConnell is already dead and Joe Manchin's DINO fist is planted firmly up Mitch's ass to wiggle him from time to time just to give Manchin's/the GQP's agenda a little more clout.

But no one pays attention to a corpse except, of course, a dying Party of corpses.

R88, I've been auditioning for a couple years.

Did KY change that law already? That was fast.

KY Gov. Andrew Beshear should IGNORE it and appoint a Democrat anyway, and then force the courts to take their sweet time figuring out who is right and what they must do. In the interim the Dem Senate placeholder can be the 50th vote for all kinds of legislation! This is what Republicans would do!

Or perhaps he should do what Mitch did: leave the seat vacant. Refuse to consider anyone (just as MM did with Merrick Garland) until the next election, so the people can decide.

In the meantime the Senate would be 50/49 with Republicans in the absolute minority.

After what this reptilian shitstain did on Merrick Garland and indulging DUMP's insanity, I'll never listen to another word he says.

Complete waste of time, matter, and oxygen.

I want to know how Mitch says corporations should stay out of politics, but aren't they people? Citizens United?

That turtle nipping on the clit make me feel so good.

Why can't these men learn how to love, learn how to live, learn how to laugh? Don't they know that the more stairs they climb the higher the drop?

Good times and bum times, Mitch has seen them all and my dear, he's still here...

Those bruises and marks we saw on him a few months ago; I hope that is what kills him.

Not everyone deserves to live, you know.

If McTurtle croaks, I hope it happens on the floor of the Senate. I would watch that on an endless loop!

Maybe, OP, but if can hold on through the 2022 election and Dems don't keep the Senate, he'll make a partial recovery. Or, if not, Republicans will stuff him. Warnock has to run again in Georgia. All those ugly election laws are about retaking Congress.

R100, don't forget when he said his job was to make Obama a one term president. Because God forbid that hick from a leech state with a population smaller than NYC actually put the country first.

[quote]He seriously said that corporations should stay out of politics, but of course still make their regular donations.

I do not understand who in their right mind could vote for a single Republican these days, esp., if you're low income and know they tried to keep those $1400 checks from getting to you, yet would gladly give those checks with several more zeros to the wealthiest.

Your racism and bigotry can't pay the bills.

Allegedly he will be retiring soon due to health reasons. I think the real reason is he knows he will never be majority leader again. He's old and the election map in '22 favors Dems.

[quote]If McTurtle croaks, I hope it happens on the floor of the Senate. I would watch that on an endless loop!

Who would be the first to give him mouth-to-mouth?

[quote]Allegedly he will be retiring soon due to health reasons.

I find that hard to believe. Don't they live for like 200 years?

[quote] Mitch McConnell is going down . . .

Not on me, buster !

[Quote]I do not understand who in their right mind could vote for a single Republican these days, esp., if you're low income and know they tried to keep those $1400 checks from getting to you,

I honestly think these people must be extremely dumb and uneducated, truly hate the Dems or still believe that only Republicans are pro business, tax cuts etc and improve their life.The typical Republican voter is probably a mix of all of these which prevents them from making sane decisions for themselves or the country. I still don't get how any of these alleged "Christians" and conservatives think that Trump's rhetoric or behavior is acceptable.

[quote] Who would be the first to give him mouth-to-mouth?

Not Miss Lindsey. Now if it was Josh Hawley that expired, Lady G would immediately jump on that!

I will!

R116 LOL, you beat me to it.

They're white supremacists, R115

I'm still waiting, OP.
