    Why doesn’t the guy just retire already? He’s rat fucked the U.S. for decades to come long enough.

    My favorite McConnell observation: if his hands were any blacker, he’d take away his own right to vote.

    Come on now, we’re better than this. We shouldn’t be making fun of a man while he’s down.

    We should be kicking him.

      The only thing worse than kicking Mitch McConnell when he falls is not kicking him when he falls.

    Unfortunately he is one of the few Republicans who stood up to Trump in any way. He’ll just be replaced by some yes-man soon enough.

      He paved the way for Trump to be able to nominate three Supreme Judges. He is a gravedigger of democracy.

        Yes. I agree. I am only defending the fact that he has blocked some insane Trump demands in the past, and will soon be gone and replaced by someone less capable and loyal to Trump.

      Standing up to the guy who finished off democracy doesn’t mean shit when mitch is the one who killed it 99% of the way. I hope the floor is OK.

        Yeah. Doesn’t change the fact that some bootlicker will replace the turtle.

    Good. Hope everyday he falls. It can remind him of where he will sit in history. On the ground with the rest of the shit.

    What I actually need the news to tell me is if I should start buying fireworks to celebrate his death.

    I would also accept a hero named Luigi primavera getting involved.
