I shall never forgive him for withholding a Supreme Court choice from President Obama.

I shall never forgive him for acquitting Trump at his second impeachment trial. He could've gotten him convicted, and that would've prevented him from being on any ticket, ever again. McConnell is our greatest traitor.

Wow. Just as I was posting this, I picked up another “like”. PLEASE keep the communications going. We are isolated and alone. Reach out at every opportunity! DO. NOT. GIVE. UP.

I’m pretty sure Mark got it right. After years of working with “the greatest president in the history of our country or so they tell me”, Mitch probably has had enough of being skewered now and again … by both you AND by the Commander and Thief.

A 'beard' can be a person who is used to cover (like a beard that obscures a defect or discoloration) things such as promiscuity or homosexuality.

Oh, I know what a “beard” is, assuming it’s that kind of beard Joe F is claiming. Never heard of Mitch being a closeted gay guy, though. Is this “Army discharge” thing common knowledge to everyone but little me?

Big deal. She wasn't going to have the job much longer - and had grifted as much as she could.

Since becoming President Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao has come under fire for scandal after scandal.

Allegedly abusing her position to boost her family’s business in China. Maintaining her shares in a construction materials company, more than a year after she pledged to sell them. And most recently, giving her husband Mitch McConnell’s constituents special treatment -- reportedly steering millions of federal dollars to Kentucky while he faces re-election.

The Department of Transportation’s Inspector General left his role while investigating these serious allegations. Now, it’s crucial that he is replaced, and quickly -- so that Chao is held accountable for her corrupt dealings.

But who’s in charge of the confirmation process for the Inspector General’s replacement? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

That’s right: McConnell and his wife are at the center of the investigation -- and yet, he has an enormous say in who gets to lead it.

From an old petition.

He is one of the major reasons the felon in chief was not convicted in the 2nd impeachment trial as he should have been. What a sad little man who made his millions from his fellow Americans from long years at the top and became a traitor to this nation and the Oath he took so many times. If he did any good at all, none of it will be remembered. That he handed his nation over to a Fascist ... this traitorous act is his legacy. It will be the same for all the gop serving in elected office.

Let's not forget his announcement on inauguration day that the primary goal of the GOP would be "to make Obama a one-term president." Effed that up, Mitch, though you did whatever you could to prevent every single thing Obama wanted to achieve, no matter how good it was for the American people.
