    “please don’t fuck over the american people and shut down the government, in a short sighted gotcha because that would ruin my long-term plans to fuck over the american people.”

    Complicating things further, former President Donald Trump has demanded that the House pass the bill as is, and let the government shut down if they can’t get it through.

    This fucking guy again. Cause chaos, then run as the solution to the chaos.

      Republicans! Fuck up the government then run on “minimize the government cause it’s so fucked up”.

      In other words, a consummate Republican.

      The GOP campaigns on problems; the Dems campaign on solutions. Unfortunately, one of those is much easier to message than the other.

    I sincerely hope his plea goes unanswered. I might be mixing up a few empty suits, but wasn’t mitch the guy that played chicken with shutting down the government during the Obama administration and was yhe leading voice in the “the scary brown man can’t disrupt our plans for the court” bullshit that happened during Obama’s time in office.

    Shame we don’t live in a just world.

      Mitch is the reason we have a partisan, hack, SCOTUS.

        There’s plenty of blame to go around for that one. Trump and The Heritage Foundation also played key roles.

          For sure. It’s not exclusive to Mitch.

          But Mitch was the architect.

          He’s the reason the far right got 4 SCOTUS picks, instead of the 2 they should have if they played “fair”.

          Mitch also was the architect for filling all the judicial vacancies in the federal courts with other far right partisan judges.

          He’s also the architect for the current state of the GOP, and was responsible for most of the Government shutdowns in the last 20 years. Him lamenting this potential shutdown is laughable, to put it mildly.

          He’s been doing this since at least 2010 when the GOP shifted their strategy away from advancing their democratic platform, and instead winning by fuckery like gerrymandering, blocking all bills in the Senate (as he was the majority leader for around a decade) that might advance the Democrat roadmap/agenda, and then immediately turning around and blaming democrats for the bill his party just blocked.

          Mitch is the reason why the GOP is kept in line today.

          His departure from politics, forced or otherwise, will have a huge impact on the GOP. There isn’t another person in their group that can hold all the different groups together and keep them focused on making democrats appear to look bad, like Mitch.

          As much as I hate the guy (and boy, do I), he’s a masterful politician. I mean that as the damning insult it’s meant to be.

    Also, why doesn’t most of McConnell just blow as dust in the wind yet? How do I get whatever he got instead of cremation? That guy is mummy old as heck.

        That happens because he missed a meal of children’s blood. He is a deep state pedo vampire drinking children’s blood as part of a pact with Satan. People are saying he smells like sulphur.

    They’d just blame the Democrats anyway. Republicans thrive in dysfunction because they can convince their low info base that nothing bad is ever their fault.
