Im am in no way defending McConnell. He is a vile piece of excrement, but all through covid, he remained pro mask and pro vax. This is just consistency

b0t.bsky.social•10 days ago

seems like he could have stopped most of it by simply not pushing so damn hard for it for the last decade

14osu.gobeavs.app•9 days ago

Yep. He created all of this almost singlehandedly. Whatever he does now is irrelevant.

He knows what he did. This is his legacy.

Wikipedia calls Mitch McConnell “the gravedigger of American democracy”

thelordgod.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is exactly true.

essaray.bsky.social•9 days ago

Perfect karma!

grimely.bsky.social•9 days ago

Okay well on the one hand it is cool to see a mythological punishment inflicted upon Mitch McConnell but why do the rest of us have to live within the world of this fable cautioning against the pursuit of power at all costs

paintmycat.bsky.social•9 days ago

And he thinks he's a big hero.

billbeaird.bsky.social•10 days ago

May he Rot in Piss, very, very soon.

💯

matthewjvallone.bsky.social•10 days ago

I wouldn't say I feel bad for McConnell but the extent to which he is reaping what he sowed is almost Biblical.

sarahdarerlittman.bsky.social•10 days ago

He "built this." And by blocking Obama on pretty much everything, but especially judicial nominations, he helped to release America's ID.

johndettling.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tie it all together in an article, that would be great.

we-all-do-better.bsky.social•9 days ago

He's on death's door so he's trying to clear his conscience.

Enjoy the lake of fire McConnell. 🔥

the-pied-piper.bsky.social•9 days ago

His legal name is “McConnell, whose fault this is.”

Please use the full name every single time we refer to him.

lesizmor.bsky.social•10 days ago

Next round the GOP will give the 'nay' to Collin's or Merkowski; let them Garner back a few lost voters.

It’s all very Shakespearean I just wish I wasn’t one of the background soldiers getting slaughtered.

gingerculchie.bsky.social•10 days ago

McConnell is Lear actually.

kingoftheu.bsky.social•10 days ago

There are plenty of soldiers getting slaughtered in Lear.

Kabuki.

fffanatic06.bsky.social•10 days ago

it's what he deserves. doesn't make this situation suck any less. but at least McConnell is suffering.

marcellograz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Are the 2 Cicci-Concerned-Senatrix concerned? 🤣🤦‍♂️

flylefty.bsky.social•10 days ago

He spent his career enabling shit like this. Fuck him

tradergg.bsky.social•10 days ago

He could have very well voted for his impeachment when it mattered. It doesn’t count anymore

pppgrifter.bsky.social•10 days ago

What a waste of oxygen

ryanbrommer.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m convinced he’s only doing any of this moral posturing to salvage his legacy before he’s gone because he knows it won’t make any difference to what happens. He can burn in hell, we won’t forget his role in getting us here.

rivasad.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is a good question. Why is he doing this? He knows it won’t make any difference in the outcome and it’s not like any of us are going to change our view of him. Why not just sigh and pull the “yes” lever?

wayfaringwit.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not a defense of the man, but just psychologically, I think McConnell has always believed in what he's doing, that the conservative utopia would be worth the means. "Moscow Mitch" was the only dem insult that ever bothered him: it was the only one that went against his own utilitarian self-image.

rivasad.bsky.social•9 days ago

Honestly it’s more frightening to me that he’s always been a True Believer as opposed to an opportunist 😬

It is poetic justice to have McConnell trapped in a hell of his own making, but I just wish we weren’t trapped alongside him

veratchao.bsky.social•9 days ago

I wonder if all of the times he froze were different stages of him getting Scrooged.

jwmangrum.bsky.social•10 days ago

The last of the Dr. Frankensteins, surrounded by his monsters

fusciacat.bsky.social•10 days ago

None of this would be a play and McConnell done the right thing years ago

how-are-u.bsky.social•10 days ago

one of the most wicked and craven men in American history. straight up, one of the absolute worst.

banisterkevin.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yep. Quite a fucking legacy, Mitch.

dg93023.bsky.social•10 days ago

The grim reaper visited McConnell recently. McConnell begged for a chance to redeem himself. Too bad this is what it took for him to wake up. Hold on: is McConnell “woke” now?

skiskinnyskis.bsky.social•10 days ago

No that would be Biden. We need to stop expecting horrible people to stop themselves from stuff they want.

jakebreakdance.bsky.social•10 days ago

They’ve been pushing his ass down the stairs since KY changed the appointment law. Yes I’m saying a tacky joke but come on.

debbynyc.bsky.social•10 days ago

How impotent. What's the point of coming to Jesus AFTER it's too late?

turntxblue.bsky.social•9 days ago

Something about leopards and faces…

annarompage.bsky.social•10 days ago

The GOP is Mitch McConnell’s Frankenstein in many ways

All those years of pushing it to this point, and he’s lost control of it.

ealluia.bsky.social•10 days ago

If McConnell understood you can't support absolute party power over any other consideration because the party might be taken over by forces whose values you oppose, he'd just be a totally different human being. He was elevated *because* that was his mentality. And look where it got him and us.

dark-chocolate.bsky.social•9 days ago

Maybe he just did finally (too late) figure that out, or -- I suspect more likely -- his personal ambition to remain leader (and in the process follow the center of his caucus) was always the #1 consideration, and now that he's old & stepped down it became moot.

nancy-willauer.bsky.social•9 days ago

Pathetic

pmzyox.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah Mitch, if your heart is really in it, save democracy. Et tu Brutus

kabulykos.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think Midnight Mitch has succeeded in flipping his assessment by future historians from "evil mastermind" to the much sadder and stupider "first minister of team FAFO"

truehoax.bsky.social•9 days ago

I was looking forward to the schadenfreude but I just can't seem to summon it. We have bigger problems now.
