None of this would have been possible without Moscow Mitch to begin with.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dr. FrankenTurtle regrets building his monster.
MCCONNELL ENDORSED HIM.
What a piece of shit
Yeah? Thanks for the help Mitch.
Fuck you Mitch.
Did Putin tell Moscow Mitch to say that? Was it Monsanto? Or, did he have his own thought for once?
Only almost a decade late. Well done turtle.
They are known to be kind of slow.
He got there in the end.
Too bad the race was over and everyone had gone home.
Bad Turtle! No lettuce!
That's the only time conservatives show any spine or morals: after it doesn't matter any more...
McConnell helped to stack the supreme court with the same right wing hardliners who torpedoed any attempt to prosecute Trump. McConnell helped install judges like Eileen Cannon. McConnell refused to impeach Trump. There are so many ways in which what is happening now is directly his fault.

If only there was something he could have done to stop it.
Imagine putting party loyalty ahead of your own sense of right and wing. I mean, can you? Because I can't imagine it.
I can understand selling out for money. Enough significant digits on a check buys a certain amount of moral flexibility. But that dude has enough. For way less than that guy has, I'd retire someplace with warm beaches and spend my days engaged in utter debauchery.
Once a person has enough money to do that, I can't understand the need for anything more.
Don't mention post-WW2 America First rhetoric
I voted for him, but I don't think it's a good idea... is that about right?
You exonerated a fascist because your goals were aligned. You don't get to cry about what other people did when you signaled that he was in the club.
The guy attacked the place where you work with violent intent and you just shrugged because you hoped the Dems would take out the trash for you.
Once again the Party of Personal Responsibility expects other people to wipe their ass and flush for them. Go fuck yourself, McConnell.
