Mitch McConnell is blocking the Save America Act, which would make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

I don’t even care if this is the only time ever that this turtle-adjacent fuck shows off his spine.
I’m happy about this.

A poll tax not an “ID tax”.

>Last year, McConnell wrote in The Wall Street Journal that such a bill would give **a future Democratic president and Congress** the ability to “use more sweeping mandates to carry out a complete federal takeover of American elections.”
Watching all his colleagues desperately trying to convince him that this doesn’t matter because if they can get this through they don’t need to worry about losing power ever again is darkly hilarious.
McConnell has been in the Senate too long to conceive of a world where he doesn’t have to worry about elections anymore.

Please, Mitch. Do the right thing for once in your fucking life and keep blocking this bill.

Remember they had the opportunity, the power and the momentum to stop Trump in 2020 from ever coming back. They choose to not act then and I’m certain they’ll cave here.

It’s so funny that even when they do the right thing it’s for fear that democrats will someday do the same shitty thing. It’s not enough that it’s a shitty thing to begin with.

So now that he is dying he is going to pull a John McCain to try to avoid hell?
HousingOk6362 on
Lol, mitch is not blocking it because he thinks democrats could use it. He is blocking it because he knows what will happen if Trump gets a 3rd term out of it. Which is what would follow after they take the midterms. There would no longer be a need for pesky politians like him anymore.

Schumerli: I never thought I’d be fighting side by side with a Republican.
McConnelas: How about a turtle?

Someone ran the math and realized how many Republicans wouldn’t be able to get the needed credentials to vote.
There’s a lot of white women who took their husband’s last name and wouldn’t be able to vote because of this

There must be some studies on this period in the careers of Republicans where, right between deciding to retire (or being told they’re going to die in office) they suddenly develop behaviors where they act like they have some integrity or concern for the future.

“Tim Burchett posted a video on X Friday saying McConnell’s actions are partially coming from a place of “meanness” because he doesn’t like Trump, and called his mental acuity into question.”
Hmmmm…. I wonder why McConnell doesn’t like Trump?

How do we get to a point where Susan Collin’s votes in favor of the SAVE Act but McConnell doesn’t. This is insane.

“Representative Anna Paulina Luna also attacked McConnell, claiming on X without evidence that “over 84% of Americans and 95% of Republicans want voter ID.”
I can make up numbers too. 100% of unsourced claims are meaningless, no matter how confidently they’re tweeted.
Edit: To be clear, I wouldn’t even oppose voter ID in principle if it were done properly, universal access, no cost, no bureaucratic maze, and no targeting specific demographics. What I do oppose is bad-faith policy dressed up with fake statistics and implemented as a clusterfuck designed to suppress turnout rather than secure elections.

He’s doing it for a very wrong reason.
The bill is shit because it would disenfranchise millions of Americans and is blatantly unconstitutional. Fuck everyone supporting it.
However, it requires photo identification proof of citizenship so birth certificates don’t count. Most drivers licenses don’t prove citizenship and thus also don’t count under the bill; Only 4 blue states and a purple state have Enhanced Driver’s Licenses.
Thus the primary way to prove citizenship under the new law would be passports.
Guess how much more likely a passport holder is a Democratic voter than a Republican voter?
It would be **catastrophic** for Republicans if it passed and the corrupt Supreme Court pissed all over the Constitution, again.
Mitch is an evil bastard, but he is not extremely stupid.
