Failure to vote to convict an obviously guilty impeached president has consequences.

Reposted from Jake Tapper, long-suffering Philly sports fan

But who knew. Consequence is so rare for representatives. Its almost as if they are judge by alternative facts.

sushynes.bsky.social•187 days ago

Regardless of that and his statement about polio, he'll vote for RFK, Jr. No doubt about it. It's all about the PARTY!

rhonnie-72.bsky.social•187 days ago

Mitch can never redeem himself for failing to impeach/convict Trump and for saddling us with this mockery of SCOTUS.

pcsherry.bsky.social•187 days ago

In other news McConnell will bow to the Dump. Even if he has no intention of returning to Senate.
He has a nice retirement plan funded by the mega donors.
(Mega Donor= big bribes)

leecle.bsky.social•187 days ago

Voting & supporting conspiracy theorists & criminals in order to retain party power was pure evil.
America/Americans were not protected by McConnell, the Republican Party & SCOTUS.
They betrayed their oaths in exchange for money and lust for power.

mitchmcconell.bsky.social•187 days ago

I never betray the billionaires-awk, I mean oath-I promised to protect!

skindeisel59.bsky.social•187 days ago

However, McConnell and his ilk have escaped scrutiny from allowing Trump to once again gain the WH. Biden and Garland shoulder the bulk of responsibility for Trump’s ascension, when McConnell and his cronies could have ended Trump’s campaign before it ever took flight.

janjan332.bsky.social•187 days ago

And we’re all paying the price for their stupidity. It’s just not fair….

ammie35.bsky.social•187 days ago

He’s used his platform for his personal benefit. He had his chance and failed his country.

primal-id.bsky.social•187 days ago

And yet, McConnel has put his head in the sand time and time again and stayed silent on the misinformation

😡

velveeta20.bsky.social•187 days ago

We have reached the FAFO stage for Trump enablers, co-conspirators and voters and it is only going to get worse. Too bad NOT voting for Trump does not inoculate the rest of us from the consequences!

char1948.bsky.social•186 days ago

Didn’t McConnell say that he would face justice and then the law-maker did nothing to stop him from becoming even more powerful

renerefski.bsky.social•187 days ago

My mom taught us: do NOT do something that cannot be undone. The Trump voters will rue the day.

sicksky.bsky.social•187 days ago

So what? It doesn’t matter what Mitch says. Trump hates him.
Trump wants to keep our country stupid and sick.

Yep. The Leopard is eating his face.

daytripper72.bsky.social•187 days ago

Glad to know McConnell has a line.

pamschuble.bsky.social•187 days ago

When it comes to a vote, he’ll vote for him. Spineless.

panticapaeum.bsky.social•186 days ago

The downfall of the Republic begins.

benny6toes.bsky.social•187 days ago

He'll still vote in favor of rfk's nomination tho

molly90274.bsky.social•187 days ago

It would be nice if he would show the same concern for the leadership of federal law enforcement and national intelligence.

garwoodgal.bsky.social•187 days ago

Way too little way too late from McConnell. When he could have made a difference he chose not to. He’ll go down in history as a “failure of the first magnitude.” Thanks for nuthin’ Mitch.

maryandwinnie.bsky.social•187 days ago

Yep Mitch. This is all on you.

soaf.bsky.social•187 days ago

From his mother's love and surviving polio to go on and cause misery for millions of Americans with his cruelty and endless greed.

alars18902.bsky.social•187 days ago

Best comment on McConnell is that his grave should always smell like piss.

steviezbrooklyn.bsky.social•187 days ago

And now Yertle's great grandkids might end up with polio as well.

housebunny.bsky.social•185 days ago

You got that right!

pip-kin.bsky.social•187 days ago

Never once did that turtle chinned swine mention the March of Dimes, the actual organization that provided care when he was a Polio stricken piglet
(Mitch even refused to meet with the March of Dimes in 2017)
🐷
Be best

votecnp.bsky.social•187 days ago

Right, though the system also failed in its inability to put Trump in jail. They had 4 years to put him behind bars for his many and obvious crimes. We will all pay the price for that failure.

packrfan4.bsky.social•187 days ago

Biden nominated Merrick Garland to rebuild the DOJ, which had been ravaged by the previous Trump administration. Unfortunately, Garland was not the right person for the job of prosecuting Trump. We needed someone much more tenacious for that job.

mo732.bsky.social•187 days ago

And it was obvious early on and Biden did nothing.

votecnp.bsky.social•187 days ago

Right, Biden was pretty useless frankly and he even let a lot of Trump policies stay in place which only helped to normalize Trump’s fascist bigotry and bad policies.

mimim99.bsky.social•187 days ago

Absolutely this is also on garland but before u even get there, Mitch could have stopped him from being able to run for office.

apriljoy.bsky.social•187 days ago

Garland is corrupt. There's no doubts in my mind about that.

goldenearthgirl.bsky.social•187 days ago

Too bad he’s old and has no power. A few years ago? Yes. But not now. He owns this. In more ways than one.

djvagirl.bsky.social•187 days ago

Sure does

rictho1966.bsky.social•187 days ago

Good piece by him, BUT if past is example, he will approve the RFK, Jr. nomination anyway. We're talking about Mitch McConnell.

hokiephile.bsky.social•187 days ago

So will he vote no on Kennedy or is he too chicken to do that too?

jackversuslocke.bsky.social•187 days ago

He will vote yes because he’s a wimp and a coward.

klouw.bsky.social•186 days ago

And Republican. 😡

ucancallmev.bsky.social•187 days ago

I guess someone loaned him a pair for a few minutes.

webpuppy45.bsky.social•187 days ago

The reasoning behind RFK Jr's attack on vaccines:

The NRA wants something other than guns to be the number one killer of children in our country. They told Trump and Trump told RFK Jr. to take care of that.

ameliabeeesq.bsky.social•187 days ago

McConnell is an intelligent man who has always known how dangerous, corrupt, and morally bankrupt Trump is. He just thought he could exploit Trump's popularity while controlling him. McConnell has picked power over our democracy again and again, and we are all paying for his depravity.

The thought of him lording over medical science sickens me.

I Agree‼️

debholleync.bsky.social•187 days ago

This will live on is McConnell’s shameful legacy.

rhodes-todd.bsky.social•187 days ago

He had too much faith in the justice system and the American people. He thought he could take the easy way out and Trump would just disappear.

. . . and there are many other events that can be added to his shameful legacy.

debholleync.bsky.social•187 days ago

I agree 100%. He has a very long list of shameful actions

bluegirl52.bsky.social•187 days ago

Mitch McConnell was one of the very worst leaders in our history! In my opinion, he didn’t love America he loved the GOP!

debholleync.bsky.social•187 days ago

He loves power. He doesn’t even love his wife as much as he does power at any cost.

MAGA Senate (MAGA Congress) has no problem with Trump colluding with Russia, quid pro quo-ing Ukraine, telling Barr to weaponize the DOJ, trying to overturn a free and fair election, inciting a deadly insurrection, threatening our legal system, threatening our justice system, ⬇️

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•187 days ago

threatening our democracy, tweeting threats of nuclear bombs, shitting all over our allies, falling in love with our adversaries, mishandling top secret classified information, found guilty on 34 felony counts including election interference, campaign finance fraud, ⬇️

tax fraud and bank fraud and using the oval office and our taxpayer dollars to enrich himself.
Do you really believe the Polio vaccine is going to be McConnell’s line in the sand?

He will vote for him anyway. McConnell has no standard. But he does write a nice protest letter.

judythomas.bsky.social•187 days ago

You mean Mitch McConnell, who endured four years of ridicule and disdain from Trump, yet still voted for him in 2020, is going to draw a line in the sand over Trump's appointment of a man who intends to downplay his childhood polio? There is no level of hypocrisy thats just too much for Mitch.

mimim99.bsky.social•187 days ago

And 2024.

gtconway.bsky.social•187 days ago

Yes, and whose wife Trump attacked repeatedly with racial slurs

judythomas.bsky.social•186 days ago

I included Coco Chow slurs in my original reply, but it made my post too long. Let me add a shout out to Coco, and her husband's lack of respect for her (like Cruz's lack of respect for his wife) and also add the fact that both these assholes voted for Trump in 2020, and AGAIN in 2024.

lou-e-e.bsky.social•182 days ago

Just shows what some people are made of or should I say "not made of". If someone attacked my wife I would cut them off at the knees...nicely putting it.

jlk-greystone.bsky.social•187 days ago

But she worked for him for 4 years until January 11, 2021 regardless of the attacks. At least Mitch was getting a second income from the government, right? When you let the monster you created take control, you either do what you are told or find another as filling gravy train.

marymredoutey.bsky.social•186 days ago

Yes, and he made SCOTUS have six out of nine of its members hand picked by the right wing dark money funded Federalist Society
And he proudly killed many good bills that would have helped Americans before they even were voted on because he put his Party over the well-being of Americans.

sunybird.bsky.social•187 days ago

I remember 2 children in Kindergarten had polio. One of those children didn't make it to 2nd grade, the other didn't make it out of Kindergarten. I'm 60, I still remember the little girl who loved her bright pink fluffy coat, her big glasses and pretty smile, gone. We all cried and went home early.

hlholeman.bsky.social•187 days ago

Sadly, Mitch’s selfish power devotion to owning the Supreme Court, has lead to the rise of avoidable polio. Zero anything to Mitch. He can turtle on. (No diss to turtles)

falcon598.bsky.social•187 days ago

Example..they got barrett into the SCOTUS 3 days before a potus election....when Barack tried to get Garland into the SCOTUS 8 months before an election turtle head shut that down citing too close to a potus election. Then mcconnell bragged that telling Barack that was his proudest moment.

Second - perhaps even more significant, because of the obviousness of his guilt - it facilitates and enables the arguments and propaganda that undermine and compromise truth - and even reality.

This!

baywatcherwa.bsky.social•187 days ago

Amen

polopaula.bsky.social•187 days ago

Scary. Old enough to remember not being allowed to go swimming in City pool because of threat of Polio

jlk-greystone.bsky.social•187 days ago

Not only did Moscow Mitch's monster leave the laboratory he took over management of it making Mitch his personal Igor whom he torments any time he gets a chance.

McConnell has learned his lesson.

G... ya know that the guy across the street from you may be a Phyco child molester white collar crook and wife beater so well half of society is OK with voting in a person with similar interests trump tah dee dump .... doubt that will change in my lifetime

Aaron Siri sounds like a moron.

wazoo99.bsky.social•187 days ago

Or, just hear me out for a second, CNN normalizing Trump for two years and normalizing the entire MAGA world, has consequences

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•187 days ago

Who the F! is watching CNN or MSNBC and thinking anything about Trump is normal?
I don’t watch CNN but I do watch MSNBC and I’ve never heard anything close to… oh maybe Trump isn’t as bad as I thought he was…

seaglass6023.bsky.social•187 days ago

Slamming doors behind them and locking them is the American GOP. It’s not a feature, it’s a requirement to advance their cruelty which is the point.
Equality is the only bug Trump et al wants to eradicate.

ultrapop.bsky.social•187 days ago

And Mitch will gladly vote for RFK Jr even if it results w more polio.

isaco-1.bsky.social•187 days ago

F Mitch , Mitch is the bitch that enabled this

myfuguestate.bsky.social•187 days ago

As we have seen with at least 3 SCOTUS confirmation hearings and Roe v Wade, anything they say to get confirmed is suspect.

hangten500.bsky.social•187 days ago

Homer Mitch really fucked that up.

anniepatriotic.bsky.social•187 days ago

Yeah, I don't want to hear from McConnell. He could have rallied enough votes to rid us of the orange man once and for all, but he played cowardly lion that day. How disgraceful.

slynnw.bsky.social•187 days ago

If he feels so strongly about it, he should call RFK Jr in for a little sit down.
He’s a Senator & in Republican leadership.

Just like a fart, nothing but loud air.

maribel1.bsky.social•187 days ago

Interesting to see that when it benefits him, then he suddenly grew a spine and spoke up. He is very much one of if not the most responsible senator for the division this great nation is facing today. His kangaroo court is to blame for the majority of it.

forensicguy.bsky.social•187 days ago

For years, Republicans have undermined trust in government. Mitch is complicit and he comes across as disingenuous.

jlk-greystone.bsky.social•187 days ago

And that is why, in the end, like the fictional Dr. Frankenstein who had his chance to kill his monster and didn't, his creation ultimately destroys him.

jledmiston.bsky.social•187 days ago

The Senator will probably support RFK Jr in the end.

kygirl1.bsky.social•185 days ago

We'll see what all his yada yada amounts to.

bobbymax716.bsky.social•187 days ago

Cowardice had consequences.

barak-har-elkin.bsky.social•187 days ago

Never seen him pull out all the stops for the good of the country before, but it's nice to see.

trumpsucksoffputin.bsky.social•187 days ago

AMERICA GET YA TIX REQUEST IN ASAP LETS HIT TRUMP WHERE IT HURTS ..READ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS & ( DONT SHOW UP )SHOW HIM & HIS CRIME FAMILYS AMERICAS STILL OURS NOT HIS...& THE WORLD...

trumpsucksoffputin.bsky.social•187 days ago

isensiel.bsky.social•187 days ago

His age is more of an impediment than allegedly killing someone.

rallnii.bsky.social•187 days ago

The real question is then... How many felony charges he will get? I feel like he's gonna need at least 40 to win

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•187 days ago

well… he apparently has a fair mix of both MAGA and Democrat voters and Trump obviously is going to one up him - so 35 max… and he should announce his 2028 POTUS campaign bid Monday morning - first thing without stealing any of Trump’s thunder for being America’s dumbest mob boss ever.

rallnii.bsky.social•187 days ago

You think we could get him on the cover of Time magazine some how? Or is that strictly a dictator thing?

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•186 days ago

NOPE! Trump will be on every Time Magazine cover for as long as he lives and then an additional three months for his cult to fucking get over it.

scotgirl72.bsky.social•187 days ago

McCarthy is a fraud

gilly6124milo.bsky.social•187 days ago

Never forget, trump is, in large part, the creation of mitch mcconnell. Dr. Frankenstein is just realizing he can not control his monster.

phyllis8.bsky.social•187 days ago

What a complete jackass! Understatement!

natrox45.bsky.social•186 days ago

Too late

judyblue007.bsky.social•187 days ago

AND, polio vaccine has nearly eradicated a terrible disease and if rfkjr can't see that...well. it's obvious

judyblue007.bsky.social•187 days ago

That's true. We are where we are right now because of mitch McConnell.

Absolutely! So true!

Moscow M1tch is warning them to hide until they’ve gotten their jobs.

hopefortheworld24.bsky.social•187 days ago

He's just beginning to find out what his greedy wrath has wrought, i.e. dark money, corrupt justices, etc.

pauljuno.bsky.social•187 days ago

If/when polio makes a comeback it will be Mitch's legacy.

cherylm56588591.bsky.social•187 days ago

May he live long enough to fully appreciate what his refusal to convict Trump means for this country as Polio again ravages it’s children. He single handedly brought polio back.

mmirrg.bsky.social•187 days ago

Mitch did not think the whole power at any cost thing
