Isn't this the guy who could have whipped up support to convict Trump of his impeachment, therefore barring him from running again?

Mitch McConnell can get bent. He did this.

It's not just that...

Like, unequivocally McTurtle is on the Rushmore mountain of "who do we blame for this" but it's because he's spent literal decades installing loyalists judges.

He spent an entire lifetime building the machine trump co-opted.

He's not mad this is happening, he's mad it's not him or a protege driving us off the cliff. His goal was a long term manageable dictatorship, trump jumped early and wasted everything McTurtle built.

That’s the risk of dictatorship right? It works when your guys are in charge.

There is a part of me that’s glad that the machine he built has been turned against him. We all have to suffer now Mitch, I will piss on your grave even if it’s the last thing I ever do, raggedy ass motherfucker

You actively participated in making it happen, you turd.

He did more than actively participate. He orchestrated it.

MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 349d

He doesn't have blood on his hands.

He's got it up to his elbows.

Because of you, dipshit. Because of you.

Calling it now. He has cancer and is trying to clear his slate before he gets judged by the god he believes in. Nothing he can do will ever clear that, though.

Is it possible for cancer to have cancer?

Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 348d

Wouldn't that be cancer reverting back to normal cells that are continuously converting cancer back to healthy cells? Sounds like a cure for cancer... Or the T-Virus

Because he's an evil piece of shit. They never die, they just get wealthy and live amazing lives ruining things for everyone else.

Humans are resilient. Spite alone can keep someone alive, I am living proof.

Fuck McConnell, he is partially responsible for this.

AND HE WOULD KNOW

PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social · 7 pts · 349d

Yeah, too right. It's a little surprising to hear someone in his position talking about it, it means they're waking up, which I guess is a good thing?

Oh, to the United States in the 1930s? Fuckin' what lol. The tariffs are hardly the most important things going on right now. Well, hopefully McConnell lives long enough to get "night of the long knives"ed.
