SEN. MITCH McCONNELL
The Man Who Put Constipation In The Constitution,
Obstructionist, Bully, The Grim Reaper
CLAIM TO FAME: Lost Control Of The Senate
(CNN) On the same day that he — finally -- acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden's victory, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell began to grapple with the first leadership test of the coming Congress: Convincing his Republican colleagues not to formally object to the Electoral College results on January 6.
According to Politico, McConnell told his conference that such a move would force every single one of them into a "terrible vote" in which they would have to go on the record in affirming that President Donald Trump did indeed lose the November election. And, McConnell argued, such a vote would enrage Trump.
Which is true! After all, Trump lashed out at McConnell early Wednesday morning simply because the Kentucky Republican admitted, after the official Electoral College vote on Monday, that Biden had won (again) and Trump had lost.
"Mitch, 75,000,000 VOTES, a record for a sitting President (by a lot)," tweeted Trump. "Too soon to give up. Republican Party must finally learn to fight. People are angry!” ( Mote point you schmuck really, 81,000,000 fought and dumped you!)
In order for there to be a vote in both chambers on the election results, at least one House member and one senator would have to raise an objection to the Electoral College count. That is a certainty in the House, where Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, among other Trump loyalists, has already signaled his plan to do so.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who Trump beat in the 2016 primary but has emerged as one of the President's most loyal defenders, has also been vocal in his desire to take a wait and see approach to the possibility of an election challenge in January.
"There are multiple lawsuits raising allegations of fraud and irregularities in this election," Cruz told The Washington Post on December 10. "We need to allow the judicial process to work its way through and resolve those claims."
While the Supreme Court rejected the Texas lawsuit designed for invalidating the election results in several swing states the following day, Cruz has yet to acknowledge Biden won or reject the possibility of a formal challenge to the results.
Sens. Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Josh Hawley (Missouri) are seen as potential supporters of an election challenge as well.
The issue for McConnell is that he is asking some of these Republican senators to go directly against their own political interests here.
For Hawley and Cruz, the party base remains, quite clearly, behind Trump despite his loss. Which means that if you want to run for president in 2024 -- as both men do -- there's zero political gain in sitting on the sidelines and, potentially, a major upside for being the one willing to stand up and fight for Trump.
Ditto Tuberville who was elected in no small part due to Trump's advocacy for him (and against former Trump administration Attorney General Jeff Sessions). Given Trump's continued popularity in Alabama, there's unlikely to be a price paid by Tuberville for formally objecting to the results.
What McConnell is asking, then, is for Republican senators, at least in some cases, to go against their own political interests in order to protect the class of senators up in 2022 who really don't want their first vote of the next Congress to be one against Trump. (McConnell apparently isn't even trying to appeal to senators' sense of doing what's right -- since Biden quite clearly won the election fair and square.)
That's a big ask. And one that even someone as gifted a persuader as McConnell may be hard-pressed to successfully make.
McConnell - Americas Biggest Obstructionist Liar And Traitor
Arrest Mitch McConnell as a traitor and that obstructionist scumbag has thwarted every good thing Congress had a chance to pass. Those white haired GOP KKK cowards, remnants of a bygone era bullsh*t artists have outlived their terms and usefulness, just like the lock-stepped Gestapo following T-RUMP like they followed the Fuehrer and Himmler. We call them the ball-less Eunuch-cons… of the Senate and the REP.
I can’t believe those who quote Lincoln and Reagan and especially in the Senate have not stood against T-RUMP. But most have doubled their income at the cost of the economy slipping potentially 16.4 to 26.5 trillion dollars under T-RUMP into our deficit, we are already there. He may top at 33 Trillion, worst in American History.
He is killing the present and that will kill the future. They will regret the next time they are up for reelection just as the house learned Election day supporting a leader who thinks he was declared divine and absolute is wrong.
His cabinet is a joke, do nothing, accomplish nothing, complete nothing and f*ck up every thing. But they all make money on insider trading, market jumps to fake informations and you supporters starve… you deserve it…
SOLUTION: He has cheated the people of this country enough
and deserves to be hanged, I wouldn’t waste a bullet on him…
Obstructionism And Einstein - Cheated All of Us for 30 Years
Thats why
I go back to Einstein, when I see things that I don't agree with, and I will do
that here often enough for you to believe me. Basically this is his definition
of insanity, “Is doing the same thing over and over and over again
and expecting a different outcome. Thats fairly simple, to the point and makes
sense to me.
People are getting tired of "NO" because thats the way an idiot thinks. We pay these people to represent us and work out solutions, not to stalemate a government and let the people suffer.
The other problem with No lately seems to be "NO TRUTH". It's not just a party of No, the truth is the victim here. Distortion, lies spearheaded by incompetents seemed to rise to a new level with the advent of the social media, the web and voices of bad choices like the Palin’s, the Gowdy’s the Nunes, and the Bachman's. Mostly lies and distortions, snips and snipes from those without creativity, common sense and overburdened by their own stupidity.
If we use the same political insight instead of the talent thats out there, we will achieve the same result. It's the Washington party mentality that leaks down through the system to the state and local levels. And all parties have the same problem, the choice as to whether the person is there to serve the people or to serve themselves because the stakes are so big. Ask me, and I’ll bet a good lunch about 70% of Congress is corrupt, lies or cheats, or partymizes ( new word) their votes. nothing but clones and scumbags playing the game.
It's embedded in the system and nothing will get better unless we change the system. It appears our system is to serve the party and the politicians and not the people.
Mitch McConnell’s Mantra For The Party
He
secretly tried to replace President Obama with an ultra Conservative,
preferably with a WHITE GUY. And the collection of losers, birthers,
celebrants, religiously biased nuts who think this is the United States of
Jesus, and a mass of unqualified A-Holes all stepped up to the pump.
And found out the TEA PARTY had bought the gas station and was pumping gas but the guy with the Zippo, was Cruz. That was then, and now he has TRUMP to contend with. And like a true scumbag coward after having his wife and father multilated by TRUMPS name calling innuendoes and comments, Senator Cruz, the coward flipped, and now is another personal ass-kisser to the President.
The Democrats had enough ammo on whoever won without spending a dime, till TRUMP came along and changed the whole game plan for the Republicans and Democrats.
One by one the mighty best of the GOP, the Magnificent sixteen they were vanquished by you guessed it… money, lies and TRUMP. With free advertising by the media for his cause.
