Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned Senate Democrats on Tuesday about issuing subpoenas to two prominent billionaires and a conservative activist because of their friendly ti…
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he's implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.
Tbf, some Democrats don’t want it exposed, nor will resign when they are exposed. Some will run to their yacht to hide from angry constituents and not face intraparty opposition.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
I get that he has to fight this, for political reasons, but this is the dumbest fucking rebuttal ever
What he’s targeting here is private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday
The Supreme Court is hardly your average citizen and Congress absolutely has reasons to investigate potential corrupt in the Supreme Court.
Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that "poor wittle pwivate citizen"
Also, calling billionaires "private citizens" seems wrong to me. If you've managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you're no longer a "private citizen" in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn't spend a single dime, and STILL don't have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you're not a "private citizen" you're a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I'm concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.
McConnel warns to stop proving again and again how massive the corruption is in the republicans as there might be a democrat or two that might get swept up in it. I mean they got that guys son filling out the form wrong already.
Walter Reed has the absolute best medical staff and facilities anywhere in the world.
Meanwhile, one of the nurses at my family's hospital decided it was okay to give my mother a double dose of chemo since she would be missing an appointment next month.
It's funny how much conservatives struggle with finding people who aren't criminals and frauds. Almost like there is something fundamental about them that attracts horrible people and repels everyone else.
This is the most important part. Whenever Republicans do shit like this, a Democrat, preferably a much younger one, should say, "I'd like to address the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky with the following question: Or you'll what?" Call their bluff and watch them fold like this shit was a game of Texas Hold 'Em.
Man has a fuckin synth recall code where he just shuts down in the middle of speaking so I am widely unconcerned with his whining, warnings, or threats.
I am waiting until they can't reset one of the "blue screens of death" in his operating system. Then we get a Mitch statue that holds a platter of dildos at parties.
This was a patch to the software, it is not expected to last long, they have been advised to upgrade to new hardware, but for some reason they are intent on kicking this dead horse.
They should do him first and just grill his ass for 20 hours until he strokes out for good. Let the whole world watch him shit his pants and keel over live on c-span
He also threatened his own caucus against supporting the Hawley Bill to take money out of government. Super super corrupt that McConnell would do all this. Same week no less.
God damn, can you even imagine what Congress would look like if senior officials were getting pestered with subpoenas by gloryhound committee chairs straight into a big election cycle?
He warns them? " Do you want a decent healthcare system and good education! I"m warning you that's what's gonna happen if you end this kind of corruption!"
Holy shit, right? Wouldn't it be terrible if government started to actually "drain the swamp" and do someing to help mass amounts of people instead of just the wealthy few. What a novel concept. (Just in case /s)
He doesn't oppose Trump. Not in any meaningful way, anyway. McConnell was the reason Trump got to replace 3 Supreme Court justices. He knows exactly how awful Trump is, but does not care if it means Republicans wield power.
He may not like Trump, but he voted twice to protect Trump from the consequences of abusing his executive power while in office. That's not exactly what I would call "opposition."
