One of Congress’s most powerful Republicans apparently feels powerless in the face of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Sitting for an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained that he didn’t see any other option than to endorse the GOP presidential nominee—despite having made previous declarations against Trump, including blaming him for the violent events that unfolded on January 6.
“The issue is, what kind of influence, even if I had chosen to get involved in the presidential election, what kind of influence would I have had?” McConnell said after insinuating he was duty-bound as the most powerful Republican in the Senate to support the candidate that Republican delegates voted for.
The man has been leading by example for years. Remember when, during the Obama presidency, he refused to even call a vote on any Supreme Court nominees?
He has shown time and time again that he doesn’t care about the unwritten gentleman’s rules that the government has been (more or less) abiding by for centuries, and now he’s shocked that his party is overrun by people with zero interest in working towards anything other than destruction?
He’s a fool and he’s dragged us down with him.
He’s a patsy - a convenient face to focus our attention on while the real actors function behind the scenes. As the magician says, “please focus all of your attention on this hand over here…”
Hey guys, I poured some diesel on this fire, and hid all the extinguishers. Turns out that it’s hard to control it now.
Petrol instantly vaporizes and explodes, and exhausts itself more or less right away. Diesel takes time to heat up enough, but once it does, it’s a raging inferno that easily reignites by itself after being extinguished.

We all understand the message, no need to clarify the type of fire it should be.
Ideally, it’d be a turd-fire, but afaik, they don’t exist, so I went with diesel.
Of course you had options, you traitorous piece of shit:
- You could refuse to endorse Trump
- You could switch parties and become a Democrat
- You could resign
- You could kill yourself
You had tons of options, but you’d rather let democracy burn anyway.
“I have no power to stop this” says man who refused to even try to use the ACTUAL POWER HE HAD stop this
Fuck off and die McConnell, preferably in the most painful way possible. He refused to impeach the fucker, so this is just whining to try to protect his legacy, but this is 10000% his fault.
Doddering pensioner wonders why he has no control
