Someone gave Mitch McConnell some Viagra for his spine about 4 yrs too late.

skylinepro.bsky.social•28 days ago

This is a coup. 3.5M votes were nullified. Report this. https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f

msmcdole.bsky.social•29 days ago

Doesn’t matter. He’s in. Another awful choice.

cyndicate.bsky.social•29 days ago

Mitch only voted no when he knew Hegseth would be approved. He is as evil as ever.

linuskk.bsky.social•29 days ago

And? They knew the vote was safe.

photoline.bsky.social•29 days ago

F--- eyebrows. Raise barriers. GOP = Grossly Over-Paid.

firebirdtarot.bsky.social•29 days ago

If only he had found some of that spine five years ago, we wouldn't have to have that conversation. Profile in cowardice.

johnnyson.bsky.social•28 days ago

Is it just me that doesn’t care a whit how much pressure and how many threats our elected officials are under? We seemed to have more courage in the ‘60’s when there were regular assasinations.

ladybutcherforever.bsky.social•29 days ago

Still confirmed regardless. Not a hero

angeleyes4914.bsky.social•29 days ago

Dont stand close to any windows Mitch …

chockdick.bsky.social•29 days ago

Too little, too late.

koloradokaren.bsky.social•27 days ago

Too little too late Mitch baby

hugh2d2.bsky.social•29 days ago

He's not a hero. Every single member of Congress should vote against a weekend morning show host, who's a drunk, sexual abuser, serial rapist, imbicile for one of the most powerful positions in our government.

The bar is so fuckin low. But here we are.

c-blu2.bsky.social•29 days ago

I guess he realized he’s lost all control of the monsters he created and now wants to make it right

txcatdaddy.bsky.social•29 days ago

Gosh Mitch, imagine if you had showed any courage like this standing up to Trump. We wouldn't be in this shitstorm now.

Fuck you!

cadietz.bsky.social•29 days ago

Tiniest glimmer of hope

utah06zephyr11.bsky.social•28 days ago

To little too late from this filthy coward.

pokey939.bsky.social•29 days ago

What! McConnell voted, what!!???? Say it isn't so. 😳

voyageurs59.bsky.social•29 days ago

History will not treat him kindly. Too little too late!

harostar.bsky.social•29 days ago

The irony that he is pretending to care this late, simply because Trump started tossing him under the bus. He had the power to stop this mess years ago, he had MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES. He helped Trump every time.

janiel2452.bsky.social•29 days ago

I keep hoping he is trying to dig himself out from what will his legacy of being the ultimate trump enabler. Now that he is not running again, maybe he will actually try to do some good to make up for all the evil he has done.

juliebattista.bsky.social•28 days ago

Too little, too late.😔

carolmcmakin.bsky.social•29 days ago

First guts McConnell has ever shown. Sounds like he’s going to retire in 2 years. 🤔

mypinstripes25.bsky.social•29 days ago

Shocking

jasonwendy.bsky.social•29 days ago

McConnell will never be a McCain. This is all McConnell’s fault to begin with. Stealing the Supreme Court.

dawnmm08.bsky.social•29 days ago

Too little far too late

lembrando.bsky.social•29 days ago

Late and of no consequence. Could instead have worked to convict the Tangerine Tyrant on the 2nd impeachment, for insurrection. Condemned the riot and walked back, not being able to resist blackmail from the Great Gangster.

peggylou2024.bsky.social•27 days ago

Possibly too little, too late

missnoreen.bsky.social•28 days ago

He finally did the right thing. Now we need to have Hegseth as a public servant do weekly drug/alcohol testing to assure us that he is going through with his promise.

belllasusan.bsky.social•29 days ago

He's trying to salvage his reputation so he won't be remembered as the senator who worked for decades to stack courts with the corrupt judges who would support laws that cause non-white men to suffer and die.

manibot.bsky.social•29 days ago

You know you’re a true evil fuck when Palpatine won’t even support you.

petralava.bsky.social•28 days ago

Performative. Too little too late. Mitch secured his place in hell long ago and there isn’t a redemption arc in his future.

prgnaples.bsky.social•28 days ago

So what. Too little too late from a repulsive human.

jenfriesarts.bsky.social•29 days ago

Whose eyebrows are rising over this? Moscow Mitch waited until all the other maga-gops had voted, by which time it was clear that Evil Cabbage Patch Kid Vance would have tie to break and secure Drunken McDrunkface's confirmation. Only then could McConnell pretend to care without actually caring.

carolynbinx.bsky.social•29 days ago

Too little too late

traveler1948.bsky.social•28 days ago

And yet...it was McConnell who rejected Obama's Supreme Court nomination; leading to the judicial crisis we have now. I will never forgive him.

mrpierson.bsky.social•29 days ago

Earth shattering! 😂

rocketdog3.bsky.social•29 days ago

I heard yesterday that he was a no.

wrmsc.bsky.social•26 days ago

To little and far too late Mitch - You could have voted for impeachment when you had the opportunity and you blew it. Could have saved us from the mess we are in - could have put our Country ahead of your party............

barbaragranick.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why couldn’t/didn’t he persuade another republican to refuse an inexperienced drunk?

caporez.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah a little late to grow some balls

squirrelcovers.bsky.social•29 days ago

He's leaving. He's been evil his entire career.

lanman.bsky.social•29 days ago

McConnell and the Republicans refused to vote to impeach Trump last time but the way he's going they're going to get another chance.

drumshock65.bsky.social•29 days ago

It doesn’t matter what that turtle fuck tries to make up for now - he will go down in history for paving the way for 45 to destroy democracy. Fuck all of them.

merri24.bsky.social•29 days ago

yes, but he’s still appointed so he will be doing Stephen Miller’s bidding very shortly.

10slvr.bsky.social•29 days ago

Big deal. 🤦🏻‍♀️

howdydo.bsky.social•29 days ago

He’s retiring & has nothing to lose.

chickitabanana.bsky.social•26 days ago

I wonder if he would have voted no if there would have been one more Republican voting no. After all, his vote didn't change the outcome. 🤔

raidersyourface.bsky.social•29 days ago

https://bsky.app/profile/raidersyourface.bsky.social/post/3ld2huhyne22s

howardgordon.bsky.social•29 days ago

I wonder why Mitch wasn’t able to persuade any of the other crackers.

voyageurs59.bsky.social•29 days ago

He's powerless now. They're not listening to him.

howardgordon.bsky.social•29 days ago

They’re certainly more afraid of Agent Orange.

ninapluscats.bsky.social•28 days ago

But, how far the mighty have fallen. It is shocking that McConnell—despite decades as GOP Senate Leader—was unable to bring a single Senator along with him to make the needed 4 votes to send Hegseth back to bellying up at the nearest bar.

sing-out-louise.bsky.social•29 days ago

frozen mitch got the itch.

too late

luissypher.bsky.social•29 days ago

Too little, too late

rhonnie-72.bsky.social•29 days ago

So what? It was orchestrated to look good. Did it make a difference? No.

djrn81.bsky.social•29 days ago

I’m disappointed in the watered down Rachel. Shame on MSNBC for dictating her presentations. Rachel, you are better than this treatment.

nikitamenchaca.bsky.social•28 days ago

Sorry, not sorry. McConnell can burn in hell

derhermit.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh please. McConnell didn’t “defy” Trump. He voted “no” after he was sure it wouldn’t matter and Hegseth would still get confirmed. It was an empty gesture.

skitzofrenik.bsky.social•29 days ago

...he's no McCain. He counted the vote. Knowing that it would pass. F'k that bitch, Mitch.

livelarge15.bsky.social•29 days ago

Token opposition that doesn't mean shit. They knew they had the votes and McConnell is trying to redeem himself in his final days. Too late.

pmmbscs.bsky.social•28 days ago

It’s was all a n act. He knew he would be approved

bethcokid.bsky.social•28 days ago

I’m no fan of Mitch as he should have gone for the conviction of Trump in his second impeachment; however, happy to see him cast a NO vote against the Orange Sperm-Product.

laurajtreetalker.bsky.social•29 days ago

Wouldn't it be nice if he spent whatever's left of his time in office defying DT?

torkamata.bsky.social•28 days ago

Can't wait to see Maddow "interviewed" up on the witness stand. 😅

milwaukee2024.bsky.social•29 days ago

He should have voted to impeach we he had the chance.

kireland8.bsky.social•29 days ago

Mitch, too little, too late.

amyl82.bsky.social•29 days ago

A little late to be in the game now. He should have stopped this madness when he had the chance! A say thumbs down to you Mitch !

ambassadorofstoke.bsky.social•28 days ago

Too late, Moscow Mitch.

reddogmitch.bsky.social•25 days ago

Good on ya Mitch, found some balls

caramadra.bsky.social•29 days ago

Too little, too late.

cosmicbreeze12357.bsky.social•29 days ago

That was a showboat vote. McConnell knew he was going to get through anyway.

jjosephr.bsky.social•29 days ago

He knew his vote wouldn't matter. His stained legacy will not be made better by his one last ditch effort to try and climb out of the hole he has dug for himself. Shame on you Mitch McConnell for your lifelong political attacks on institutional norms and betrayal to the American people!

ladyjade6.bsky.social•28 days ago

Too late Mitch. You had the chance to stop the crazy with Impeached, but buckled & put your job before country.

farmerdeb.bsky.social•29 days ago

It was meaningless
Typical

captbrow39.bsky.social•29 days ago

Just awful!

rdm23.bsky.social•29 days ago

What we learned today is that #MitchMcConnell is no longer relevant in the former GOP, now known as the MAGAT CULT. He is a placeholder until karma or The Grim Reaper catches up.

nancabell.bsky.social•28 days ago

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on RFK Jr. vote????

johnrossi.bsky.social•29 days ago

Do you really not think it was political theater? Collins and murkowski would have voted yes had the majority been slimmer.

roncampbell.bsky.social•29 days ago

Probably not Murkowski. Remember, she was defeated in a Republican primary and won the general in a write-in. She owes precisely nothing to Trump and the GOP establishment. Collins on the other hand ...
