Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he's implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
This. Democrats are not in a cult. Punish everyone who is doing crimes.
Can you imagine a congress and SCOTUS that actually acts in the interest of the people?
I'm 40 so no, not even remotely.

And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.

Or hell be forced to stand completely still and silent while definitely not having a seizure.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
"You won't like me if I get... uncivil" is the most Senate threat in the book.
Nevermind that we've got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
He's never been willing to work for the American people. Only the elite who can pay for his services.

Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
He KNOWS he's relevant, that's why he's threat-begging them to look the other way.
Oh I get what you mean but I think the word is culpable LOL
Both, actually. His culpability makes him relevant to the inquiries 🤷

I get that he has to fight this, for political reasons, but this is the dumbest fucking rebuttal ever
What he’s targeting here is private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday
The Supreme Court is hardly your average citizen and Congress absolutely has reasons to investigate potential corrupt in the Supreme Court.
Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that "poor wittle pwivate citizen"
Also, calling billionaires "private citizens" seems wrong to me. If you've managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you're no longer a "private citizen" in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn't spend a single dime, and STILL don't have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you're not a "private citizen" you're a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I'm concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.

Congress is literally tasked with setting up the court system in the constitution. Through, you know, legislation. He's talking out of his ass.
also weird since he definitely thought it was worth it to probe hunter biden despite being a private citizen

calling such a move "totally inappropriate."
And this from someone who openly, shamelessly rigs the court.
The Dems should take it as a clue to keep going
McConnel warns to stop proving again and again how massive the corruption is in the republicans as there might be a democrat or two that might get swept up in it. I mean they got that guys son filling out the form wrong already.

Mitch is afraid that the court they worked so hard to pack with their CORRUPT hacks will be undone.
It's funny how much conservatives struggle with finding people who aren't criminals and frauds. Almost like there is something fundamental about them that attracts horrible people and repels everyone else.

What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?
Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We're...REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.
Unfortunately in the case of some.

Or what? You guys will do a worse job?
Cool, how about instead we focus on corruption in the department of transportation in, say, 2017-2021?
That, to me, is more than enough reason to issue more subpoenas and investigate even further.
Shut the fuck up Mitch.
I don't see anything in the body of the article that could be called a warning. More like whining.

I am waiting until they can't reset one of the "blue screens of death" in his operating system. Then we get a Mitch statue that holds a platter of dildos at parties.

Did he manage to say the whole sentence, or did he freeze and need a reboot?

He's just protecting his legacy of corrupting the courts.
