Mitch McConnell Is Now A Minority
- Thread starter PS9
- Start date
LOL. It's worse, even. It doesn't even have to say "poor". Just "people".
Goddamn this is terrifying. That smile into a frown, then he stares into your soul for a good two seconds.
Thank fucking God. Congress can finally start to roll back everything this vile person did for the last six or so years.
It's also worse because he didn't fret for one second over that decision
Yeah. And honestly, he's probably not that upset about a tied Senate. I hope he is, but I doubt it. He's accomplished everything he wanted.
I know they can't get crazy and do socialized medicine and free college, but things like easier voting (fix gerrymandering if possible), more pandemic relief, $15 minimum wage, expand maternity/sick leave shouldn't be difficult things to do.
I prefer Seth Meyers' Krazy Cuckoo Coup Crew but that's good too.
Oddly enough I have Grateful Heart from Muppets Christmas Carol stuck in my head right now.
Absolute desperate cope. Manchin is a Democrat through and through, blue dog or not, and just now got the keys to mountains of pork for his state.
No, he's going to absolutely wither in the minority. He's been the center of American politics for the last six years. Being in a hapless, feeble minority unable to stop Dems passing all sorts of shit to undo what he's been doing is gonna be torturous.
I'd like to believe that. I hope he is absolutely miserable. But they can't undo all those stonewalled judges, the flood of appointed judges, the stolen Supreme Court justices, the money that's gone to the rich, the damage that's been done to the poor, and to everybody. The damage done to government procedure itself.
They might be able to undo those tax cuts, but I'm not very optimistic. The ACA is gutted...maybe they can patch it up.
I don't know. If I were in his shoes - the shoes of one of perhaps the most ruthless, evil politician of his day, which is saying a lot - I'd pat myself on the back for a job well done. Sure, it ended too soon, but what doesn't?
I would like to believe he'll be impotently furious for the next 6 years he serves. He deserves far worse.
Yeah, I believe this is his mindset too sad to say.
I'm just relieved that Biden should be able to at least get more relief and his cabinet picks through otherwise it would've been a very toothless presidency. I'm a glass half full guy though.
Mitch's goal above anything is to stay in power and win elections, so they can win more elections. That's why all his concerns are about campaign finances, voter suppression and donors, stuff like judges just makes it easier for him to do that. His whole life just revolves around the schoolyard team politics of the Capitol, the rest of the world doesn't exist. That's why there's hundreds of bills just ignored on his desk, cos he has no policies or legislative agenda, it's just about stopping Democrats from winning.
He is now out of power. That's a killer blow.
That bloke is truly foul. He's as pathetic a creature on the outside as he is an evil bastard on the inside.
It's nothing short of poetic that Ossoff will be the youngest elected senator since... wait for it... Joe Biden.
A millennial playing a huge part in drop-kicking Minority Mitch from atop his little perch that he's clung to for so long is a beautiful thing.

Having an ounce of hope? Yeah. It's been awhile. I dont want to get too excited yet but the fact that we might actually get floor votes on a lot of things is fantastic.
Stacey Abrams should be running the DNC, and everyone currently in power should be embarrassed by how much better than them she is.
He didn't do anything. that's a problem. He blocked functioning government for six years. Good riddance
no exact date but Raffensperger has until january 22nd to certify the election and they get sworn in right after. Perdue's seat is vacant right now since his term ended while Loeffler remains senator until then.
