Mitch McConnell: old dirty dog, old dirty tricks

 

I doubt there will ever be enough written about how awful and terrible Senator Mitch McConnell has become;  if he wasn't like this years ago, he sure is now.  And now that he's serving the Master, Donald Trump (at some point having sold his soul), it's really bad.  As if it could be worse than vowing to do everything in his power to make President Obama a one-term president, and then blocking the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court on the basis of rules he made up himself, and then smirking as  he confirmed that he'd get a nomination confirmed right at the end of the Trump administration, which he did even as the election was officially underway. 

I could call him a lot worse words than scum, but scum is one of the things he is.

So, what tricks is the dog up to now?

McConnell focuses ‘100 percent’ on blocking Biden — and zero percent on America

"And so, as early as Thursday, McConnell will use the filibuster to thwart a bipartisan effort to prevent further attacks on the U.S. government by domestic terrorists — because he thinks it’s good politics for Republicans."

"McConnell, asked this month about the ouster of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from GOP leadership, and whether he was concerned that many Republicans believe Donald Trump’s election lie, replied, twice: “One hundred percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration.” True to his word, McConnell has blocked everything — even if it means undercutting Republican negotiators."

"He [McConnell] earned an extraordinary rebuke from the University of Louisville (the Kentuckian’s alma mater and home to the McConnell Center) when he declared that it was an “exotic notion” to believe that 1619 — the year in which slaves arrived in the American colonies — is among “the most important dates in American history.” Before that, McConnell threatened “serious consequences” for “woke” corporations that moved business from Georgia because of the state’s discriminatory new voting restrictions."

Scum?  Yes.  

Patriot?  No.  

Public servant?  No.  

Despicable?  Yes.
