Those words also accurately describe Trump *himself*. He’s utterly stupid and morally wrong to his core.

McConnell has no moral high ground on this, or any other issue.

Mitch “The Glitch” McConnell did everything in his power to make sure we are where we are now. He’s just as responsible for Trump’s grifts as Trump is.

Glitch could have fixed this by voting to impeach in the Senate after Jan 6th.

He is absolutely right about that.

But he’ll *still* vote for it. Watch.

Back in January of 2021 – Mitch & pals had a chance to convict Trump on his 2nd impeachment for inciting insurrection and then doing nothing to stop it – but instead they chose to acquit him. I will see that legacy engraved on their headstones ..

McConnell who? Wassa matta, turtle not getting his cut?

But he’s going to let trump do it I assume.

Since when has something being ‘utterly stupid’ or ‘morally wrong’ ever been an excuse for the GOP to oppose something Trump is doing?

That’s what the GOP is

It was utterly stupid and morally wrong to ride this amoral guy’s coattails. Mitch it’s like your cynical moves to corrupt the Supreme Court and be the grim reaper to stall proposal’s from Democrats.
You thought it was sage and Machiavellian to support the Tea Party and the current White House occupant.
It was short-sighted, stupid, morally wrong and has unleashed a cult that is breaking the Republic.

Says the guy who could have prevented literally all of this but didn’t. Country over party and where are you now, Mitch?

In other words, McConnell is retiring.

Mitch McConnell, more than anyone else imo, is responsible for Trump’s second term in office. It was his arm twisting that got the Republicans in the Senate to acquit the president at his second impeachment trial in 2021. He had said that it wasn’t necessary since Trump had already left office by then. Boy, was he wrong.

All this talk from the GOP about “how wrong it is” is all bullshit. They can stop the rampant corruption of this administration any time they want.

Mitch McConnell is the reason why the Supreme Court is illegally stacked with partisan MAGA judges ruling against the constitution. He is also responsible for congressional obstructionism that prevented 8 years of legislation under Obama from coming to fruition, including Immigration Reform, Gun Control Legislation, Banking Regulations, Climate Change Bills, DISCLOSE Act for political donations, Net Neutrality, Voting Rights Amendment Act…
Literally everything that could have been a bulwark against Trump, and everything that Republican voters “claim” to “care” about and that they blame Democrats for not doing, were things that could have happened during Obama’s presidency if McConnell and the base didn’t obstruct everything.
The Obama years were the last significant years of freedom and prosperity in America where the tools existed to keep improving democracy. Trump and MAGA trashed it all.

It’s amazing how many Republicans find their balls AFTER being primaried!

As per usual, the only time GOP politicians manage to grow a spine is when they aren’t running for re-election. It just shows that their morals are 100% negotiable if it means keeping themselves in power.

McConnell doesn’t get to speak. He helped get the United States where they are. He could have stopped this. But he chose not to. He holds responsibility here. No one needs to hear anything from him ever, ever again. His meaningless words carry no weight.

If you’d only not done everything possible that resulted in this you wouldn’t have this problem.

tomorrow: McConnell votes for whatever Trump demands

Quiet Mitch. You’re not forgiven. You never will be.

It’s so strange how they stumble back into morality after they’ve left/are leaving office.

He’s right but the only reason he’s saying it is to distance himself from the hell world he helped create now that he’s at the end of his life.
Fuck him. The grave awaits…

Blanche:
The personal lawyer for Trump. Not for us.
Met with Maxwell in prison. Privately. Cut a deal and let her move to a cushy new low security area.
Any basic journalism standard needs to remind their audience of who this guy is every time he comes up.

He will go down in history much like Franz von Papen did. The person singly responsible for the rise of the tyrant.
