He should’ve resigned the same day his soul died.

He never had one.

That’s funny Kevin but I thought he announced his retirement a while ago, perhaps wishful thinking on my part, anyway long overdue imo ..

mermaid1566.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good riddance

fiztig.bsky.social•1 day ago

He certainly set in train the ruination of more than the USA. The name Mitch McConnell should be a curse internationally.

Mitch's work is done here.

This Terry Gross interview with the brilliant @janemayer.bsky.social from April 23, 2020 is seriously worthy of a revisit. It all seems so clear. Hindsight, as they say...

and then he voted for Kash Patel

Given that Trump hates McConnell, Trump will likely have Patel make McConnell’s life hell.

The tragedy is that he could have whipped the votes to convict, and our short attention spans would have largely forgotten that he made the federal courts in his image. The conviction vote would have cemented his legacy.

A partisan to a huge fault, and we have to deal with the fallout.

nintyfan1991.bsky.social•1 day ago

At his health, he hopefully croaks before his term ends.

bunnyjenkins.bsky.social•1 day ago

He looks as sad as Robert will when he is publicly 'voluntarily' removed with the very power he gave the fascists.

m00dswing.bsky.social•1 day ago

The person with such weasel like qualities that even weasels avoid him. Now slinking away to watch the destruction of a Country that he engineered. Go home, decompose into a pile of ooze that no on recognizes or wants to touch. Your legacy is nothing to be proud of your odious bastard.

When historians look back on the decline of America in the 21st century, Mitch's name will be very high on the list of villains. His partisan, norm-breaking politics have been a cancer on the country -- his contribution has been to fatally divide the country.

The quote from Kipling's Epitaph is ringing in my head while reading this.

Mine angry and defrauded young?

Possibly the only silver lining in the utterly disgraceful legacy of Mitch McConnell is that he is universally reviled and hated. On the right, for his interpreted disloyalty to Trump. On the left for, ...well..., I don't have time for that summary. But you get the point.

I'm sure ol' Mitch isn't long for this world, but imagine if his grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, or beyond grow up in a post-vaccine, post-civil rights, utterly collapsed United States.

He already announced last year, would retire in Nov 2024. Then Trump gets elected, Mitch votes against him as the lone Republican, but no one listens to him anymore. He quits. Not as much fun as terrorizing Obama, is it Mitch? You created this by not allowing the Senate to vote to impeach. Twice.
