I’m so thankful we have such healthy, focused, and competent leaders deciding the fate of millions in this country 🙏 🤡
All jokes on this fucker getting what he deserves aside. How sad is it this is the state of our politics. The rest of us are watching this dude, who is in charge of major decisions that affect our collective lives, literally “stroke out” when being asked a simple question.
Just looking into those soulless eyes with bated breath like we are going to hear something other than nonsense dribble off of his chin.
I see it and all I can think of is those gross “wise men” from the movie 300.
This is what the death of democracy looks like…
You call it silence, I call it Mitch speaking his ethics.
This is likely going to be unpopular, but McConnell, for all his faults, is one of the last remaining bulwarks of somewhat sane GOP machinery. I don’t like the guy, but he’s immeasurably better than having a MAGA fuckstick running the Senate caucus.
All that said, when your politician needs to be rebooted in the middle of public appearances, it’s time to trade it in for a newer model.
The first part of your comment may be true, but it’s leaving out an important caveat: he’s very much directly responsible for the current state of his party, and the rabid base he helped create.
I think that’s some important context.
I’m scarcely excusing his actions on a number of fronts, especially the SCOTUS clusterfuck he engineered. But his support for riling the base up was of the Tea Party, not MAGA, flavour.

That seems like a distinction without a difference.
He doesn’t deserve less culpability just because he underestimated how much evil he’d do
The MAGA collective are too busy calling each other pedos to be effective. Kevin Mccarthy found this out the hard way trying to get his votes. That was the only silver lining of Trump, he was too incompetent to actually accomplish his goals. How much of that wall got built?
Mitch however is the reason the supreme court was able to repeal Roe. Not that I would relish someon like MTG getting more power, but it’s in our best interest for the self enrichment fools to line their pockets instead of an idealog getting things done.
GOP stands for “Grand Old Party”, which is a nickname for the Republican Party in the United States.
MAGA is an acronym which stands for “Make America Great Again”, and was used by Trump during his run for the presidency. It has since been used to indicate those that follow Trump and his policies.
Just to further clarify, MAGA was originally used by Ronald Reagan (and later Bill Clinton)… it’s just another thing recycled by the orange guy who has no ideas of his own.
