My mom had polio, too. And the week the Sauk vaccine came out, we were in line - a LONG line of cars at the local high school to get the “sugar cube” vaccine. These people have no clue what a pre-vaccine world was like.
Yes. He could have gotten the Rs to find hom guilty during second impeachment but said ",the courts will deal with him." That worked well. Here we go again only with immunity AND impunity.
McConnell has no power left, but for having not impeached Trump. He demonstrated that bottom of the barrel level of disrespect for this country, and we should never forget that.
Do we think he cares about anyone else? I mean he’s just getting his last licks in at this life. He’s as transactional as all of the others in Rump world and the GOP at this point.
Mc Connell has post polio his mind set is I got it bs. He is double doing too late for his maker to hand him a pitchfork...leader of one of poorest states in US ...I don't see any redemption!
Yes for the same reason Greg Abbott got his multi-million dollar payout after a tree fell on him and paralyzed him only to turn around and craft laws that nobody else would be able to get the same.
Why all our voted elected are treated like GODS when they get sick and hospitalized. Put them through same treatment like anyone gets in medicare and medicaid let them be rejected from essential life saving medicine. 🤣🤣
If daddy trump told McConnell to get polio again, he'd grumble, make some comment about how he doesn't agree with everything the president says, then inject polio in his face.
McConnell would vote for Hannibal Lecter if Trump could nominate him. You know..."the people voted for Trump so the people trust his nominations blah blah blah..."
Not sure how much say he will have when he is no longer the Majority Leader. But these folks who are on their way out have no reason to go against their conscience, so if they support this clown car of a cabinet, it must be what they really want.
I think that’s what yesterday’s “operation warp speed” tweet was about. So that Senators can say “ the President believes vaccines blah blah…operation warp speed” So he will reign RFK in. Nothing is random with them.
i too had polio at 5 years old. one year before the vaccine. luckily i recovered. but while i was in the hospital it scared me to see all these kids in iron lungs. polio plummeted right after the vaccine.
McConnell sold his soul to the devil decades ago. Keeping him alive long enough to witness the consequences of his choices must be a form of amusement for the Dark Lord.
Look at his voting record. He has never voted for anything that benefits “the people”. He votes for corporate interests. Mitch is a money & power guy, don’t expect him to vote as if he had compassion or concern for anything but dollars.
This hit me square in the face when trump announced his pick. But Mitch has said one thing & did the opposite every time. He had an opportunity to convict & he chose to be a wallflower to stay in good graces.
Of course he will. He'll whinge and piss and moan about it, like he did with TFG 1.0, but he'll still play ball. McTurtle has no conscience or principles. None.
Since when has hypocrisy or shame stopped him from doing a thing?
Or any of the GOP, lately. They aren't even pretending anymore, or at least not all the time.
And the benefits of incumbency assist them in that belief and in maintaining their position. The only thing that might save this country from Trump is term limits. We need them for all elected offices.
That’s pretty much any republican at this point. Look at the governor of Texas who changed the laws after he used them himself in his lawsuit post his accident so no one else could.
Mitch must find his spine and stand up to Kennedy.
Kennedy endangers American health. Getting rid of dyes in Fruit loops is fine but undermining vaccine science will hurt people

Trump doesn’t actually need these nominees to be confirmed for him to create chaos and accomplish his goals.
He and Lindsey Graham are spineless.
so, no - he doesn't give 2 hoots
There is no there there
Hes spineless
"I got mine, fuck you."

Voting against the Respect For Marriage Act told us we need to know... in case we missed it in the decades leading up to 2022, of course.
FIGHT THE POWER!
