Republican Mitch McConnell, a shrewd political tactician who tilted the Supreme Court to the right but whose traditional brand of conservatism was overtaken by Donald Trump’s populism, will end his US Senate career in 2026

Let me help: "McConnell, whose packing of the Court with right-wing cranks and refusal to impeach an obviously guilty President brought down the Republic, has retired."
He’s done more damage to this country that anyone since Reagan. He had the power (in two impeachment trials) to convict Trump and prevent Trump’s return to office but did not take it. That was a world historical act of evil.
Who the hell cares. This POS started the fire when he could have stopped it years ago and there would have been no Trump 1.0 possibly and definitely no Trump 2.0!
Any man or woman who doesn't stand up for his wife or husband when she or he is degraded by The US President deserves whatever he gets!
Good riddance!!! He is one of the biggest contributors to the fall of our country and the rise of tRump. He could have stopped this madness years ago but refused to do so.
Bye Mitch Good luck when you get back to devistated Kentucky and tell the people you are personally responsible on several levels for them not getting any help You might become the new Mike Pence
He helped greatly in building Conold, the evil monster and now he's gonna skate off into the sunset, wither and die without even so much as a sorry. What a sorry excuse for an American... goodbye, dickhead.
McTurtle is political cynic who abused the rules of the senate and 💩 on the constitution for decades, setting in motion the theft of SCOTUS and the rise of Trump. If we lose our democracy, it will be largely on his shoulders. He’s leaving, but his legacy will remain in tatters forever.
The actual plan is once they retire they will start expressing more centric to left views like it actually matters at this point and you will want to kick them in the dick.
He's no "shrewd tactician", he was just willing to do corrupt things that others in the past would not, and to throw norms that promote good governance under the bus to gain short term power.
More than any single person, he's responsible for Trump being in the Presidency now.
He should be very proud of the mess he has made. Since the first night Obama was elected he vowed to vote no on anything and everything. Then he enabled the Tea Party and Trump. Our current situation and future failure sits on his shoulders.
And McConnell’s wife resigned from Trump I Cabinet immed after the Jan 6 Capitol attack. Through the 25th Amendment that Cabinet likely could have put a stop to Trump running again but they either stayed or resigned.
Thank you Mitch for telling us Trump would be held accountable for Jan 6 insurrection after he left office. Thank you for giving us Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, Pete Hegseth. Nice job, this is what you will be remembered for.

His legacy will be Trump.
Here's a tree that "tilted" to the right in a storm....
That will enable Andy Beshear to run for that seat, if there are still elections and a thing called the Senate.
May he have no peace in his retirement.
May he be buried in a septic field when he dies.
Probably no one has done more harm to our Nation than he has. Without him trump would have withered on the vine.
I look forward to pissing on his grave.

One of the most destructive elected officials in American history.
I’ve never been as cynical about anything as Mitch McConnell is about the United States of America.
Hope we never hear his name again.
It will be some revisionist hagiography built around the “resistance” of his vote against RFK jr.
I’ll leave a comment on it though!
