When it makes a difference we can count on Moscow Mitch to do one thing: whatever benefits him and the GOP/ MAGA. He is responsible for all of this: from SCOTUS voting that someone is above the law to women now being incubators and a felon filling cabinet posts with people like Hegseth.
Only because the simpering eyeliner could swing the vote. Note: no disrespect to other blokes who sport a touch of eyeliner…just that weird couch fucker
He doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected and he is likely disgusted by Hegseth. Hegseth brings nothing to the role. He’s completely unqualified and he has horrendous character. And he is a blackout drunk.
Tillis is going to regret that.
Dems better exploit this in 2026. I better see dark money ads slamming Tillis for endangering the country by voting yes for an incompetant raging alcoholic.
He finally found a piece of his missing backbone. Where was it when he had a chance to convict the SOB after he was impeached. He could have prevented this whole sorry mess. Too little too late.
Nah he didn’t… just part of the grift… he was told to vote that way in order to present to the ignorant the semblance of democracy. They know all along that Vance would be tie breaking.
the info i saw on wednesday said collins, murkowski and probably mcconnell would vote no. And they signalled that was ok. If anyone else does it would be a surprise.
it makes me ill than anyone praises collins murkowski or mcconnell. this was planned. they bullshit and people believe them but all of them are happy now. All bets are off now in my opinion. This is going full autocracy. A month ago o thought this may not happen. This is worst case scenario.
A 40 year old alleged drunk accused of sexual assault and who has mismanaged small agencies is now “running” the
military. No general will respect him. If they do they should not be generals. Nothing but bad outcomes here. Time to sign off for the night.
Pete Hegseth gets today’s FUCK YOU!
Rotten GOP brownosers!!
Im sure the Reich Senate will vote the other lame candidates in, if because they let this clown run the biggest department and budget in the Country. Step aside, ye responsible managers of every other job of which Hegseth is incapable: your bag boy is your new CEO.
Well, they made the rapey drunky mismanager guy Secretary of Defense.
Yay.
Now, on to making the heroin addict brainworm guy Secretary of Health!
Am us great again yet?
We've learned more about the dark side, people who've been working to "change" our democracy some subtly; some overtly. Trump was the nexus that pulled together a disparate group - wealthy financiers, extreme Evangelicals, hate groups, MAGA & extreme Republican legislators. Stephen Miller helped.
Couldn’t agree with you more. They wanted to at least look like there were some with integrity, but it was all for show. He was always getting in, party before country.
If he truly cared we'd have heard about him having lots and lots of close doored conversations ahead of the hearing. He didn't do shit to try and stop it.
If you're pissed at your weak Senators it feels real good sending this email.

McConnell is tired of being trumps bitch like he was last term, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have common goals, like appointing ultra conservative judges, ending safe, legal abortions, and helping their billionaire buddies out. Don’t get too excited.
Tbf, given Garland’s actions in recent years, I’m not sure we really wanted him on the Court anyway. Better than what we have? Maybe. But yet another “compromise” from Obama that would have played into Conservatives’ hands, imo.
This is not news, it’s not brave, it’s not principled, it’s not worth your precious characters to post about. We are here BECAUSE of McConnell. He is nothing more than the enemy.
His vote meant nothing. It only only means the media will run stories about “how principled Republicans are” even though Republicans still installed Hegseth.
If it would have stopped the nomination, McConnell wouldn’t have voted ‘nay’.
We only needed ONE more Republican to sink Hegseth’s confirmation, but the other 50 spineless Republicans could not muster the courage to do the right thing. They are reprehensible!
Well basically for show, constituents in Pennsylvania are at best 50/50 on democracy it seems. Let us see what he does for the rest of the appointments.
When future historians look back to try to determine the start of the demise of democracy in America, Mitch McConnell and John Roberts will be front and center in their conclusions.
He is trying to make us all forget that he is responsible for the destruction of our country. He stole two SCOTUS seats and didn’t vote to remove Trump when he had the chance. This meaningless vote does nothing to salvage his reputation.
Everyone, these "no" votes are just window dressing. The Republicans KNEW exactly how many votes they had & allowed these three to vote that way to help them with their future reelection needs.
This is for show only. Please stop drinking the bullshit Kool Aid the #GOP has been selling for 8 years.
Yeah, he can do that and still look good, knowing there would still be enough votes.
Legacy-preserving asshole.
We are not fooled by him, Murkowski and Collins.
Too little, too late.
Yeah, now he gets a backbone. He's in part to blame for the place we find ourselves in. He said that the law would handle Trump instead of convicting him on the second impeachment.
He gets no hero points. He could have stopped this whole mess in 2021 by getting the senate to remove the mango Mussolini from office after he was impeached, again. Trump would have never gotten to run again and would probably be in jail where he belongs.
What possessed him? After the event McConnell was terrified by and quick to decry as an “insurrection” by Trump, he turns around and gives the monster yet another hall pass!
For McConnell it’s all about power. It’s about keeping the Supreme Court stacked. It’s about the Heritage Foundation, and Christian nationalism. He’s been working on this very outcome since he entered Congress. Now that it’s here he wants to act like he has morals.
McConnell voted yes because he knew Hegseth would be affirmed. McConnell does this for show and not to do the right thing; he’s had plenty of chances to do the right over his entire career and he does the opposite.
He's a lifelong vote counter. He knew he could claim his moral high ground and still not be the spoiler. His long history of cowardice with Trump is intact.
When it really matters those with a real heart for America do the right thing? I wish that were true. But Thumps Prez again, and that’s the evidence that proves that is not the case.
He knew it would be a tie with his no vote and that Casper the ghost Vance would be the one to break the tie. Now he looks like the good guy. Um sorry you old traitor. We’re onto you!
Casper the Ghost Vance had been VERY busy in the background prepping for the Project 2025 blitz. They wanted to hit the ground running and have an 18 mi timeline to dismantle constitutional republic are founders established.
Sure he did. Because he knew it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference so it didn't matter. Mitch is attempting to save his soul because he isn't smart enough to recognize that character is what you do when it MATTERS not a stand you take when it doesn't.
Yeah that would be nice. Now we just have to wait who else is going to be added to this rotten structure until it callapse on it self crushing all those rotten eggs. 🤢🤮
He's been doing some very un-Mitch like things lately.
Trying to polish his legacy?
Or.. sometimes after traumatic brain, uh.. events, people's personality changes. Lots of times they become unmanageable, angry. Maybe ol Mitch went the other way.
Political grandstanding... They know what they're doing. It was always going to be JD Vance ( trumps minion) that was going to be the deciding vote. All a puppet show.
Only because he knew Hegseth had the votes without him.
Mitch McConnell owns Hegseth and every other heinous thing that comes with trump’s return to office!
He did indeed but if he was really making a statement why couldn’t he get 1 more republican to vote no with him so the drunken sexual assaulter couldn’t be confirmed!?
Controlled opposition to give Shady Vance an early opportunity to swoop in at the last minute to cement himself as heir apparent in the eyes of the country. Don't fall for it.
To no avail! They needed one more!
The best outcome that might result from this fiasco is Hegseth turns out to be a better person than he actually is!
But I also know that people with obsessive compulsive behavioural issues cannot help but continue down that destructive path.
Expect trouble!
There's the game right there. McConnell was permitted to bump one of the "no to Hegseth" people off the list, so he could parade his "I know Trump's a ****" credentials, without actually affecting the outcome.

This is where America is headed.

Blatant orchestration
And I mean that, sincerely
All the way back to Garland's nomination to the SCOTUS.
History will not smile on him.
If it would have stopped the nomination, McConnell wouldn’t have voted ‘nay’.
Majority (53)
Republican (53)
Minority (47)
Democratic (45) Independent (2)
Aren't Senators supposed to be the stone wall?
(Trump's Agincourt)
Look behind. It lines the gutters.

Between this and Mexico. He is gonna lose his shit.
He would be a yeah it his vote was needed…
FYI, he solely responsible for this fucked SCOTUS and overturning of Roe
But ya, he voted against Hegseth.
Little fucking late Mitch to grow a pair of balls
It’s their fucking mess
Plus, he’s senile
I give him no credit.
and those three did vote no.
All the rest goveled and shit themselves and voted yes
GOP only needs 50 votes, so they make some of them look like compassionate human beings in the process.
It's all planned and coordinated down to the WIN.
