"There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,"
-Mitch McConnell, before voting against Trump's second impeachment.
I mean, this is what any rational person expected from Senate Republicans...
Which is why it's so strange Biden ran the last primary on how Senate Republicans love him so much he can work with them.
He can't, no one can.
And it seems like everyone except Biden has understood that for at least a decade
"It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States."
That's not an endorsement. That's just an acknowledgement of reality.
Next line in the article :
“It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” said McConnell
(I thought the same thing)
That's still extremely lukewarm. It just says "yep he's the nominee and part of my role is to support the nominee."
"And I will support my party's nominee no matter how many ways he committed treason"
Well 1) the man committed treason so nah he should grow some balls and stand for what's right, but he won't 2) he is literally leaving his position and retiring in October so he could extra grow a pair and go against trump, but he won't. 3) McConnell is one of the most evil men in US political history
Acknowledgment of reality is leagues beyond what 95% of the gop is capable of.
evil begets evil
The GOP was pulled from life support today. The GQP has now officially replaced it.
Mitch McConnell, seen here getting a hand job from Trump, has endorsed Trump.
Mitch McConnell, seen here getting a hand job from Trump, has endorsed Trump.
I would guess that it is trump who is getting handjobs from mitch rather.
He surely has kompromat on mitch (and 90+% of GOP), and that's how he owns them.
Now that I come to think of it, this must be why so many republicans are focused on passing laws that decriminalise paedophilia. Because once it is decriminalised, the kompromat trump has on them will likely be useless...
And there it is. McConnell has cemented his legacy as nothing more than a party hack.
Hah! He cemented that long long ago.
One asshole endorses another asshole, big surprise
Republican Profiles in Courage
And this is why the Republican party is gone.
Every single noteworthy member of the party has either been voted out of office, or in many cases voluntarily stepped aside rather than suffer the embarrassment of an election defeat. Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, just to name a few. I'm not saying I'm a fan of any of them but they all essentially saw their influence in the party vaporize at the hands of Trump and were all basically forced out of politics in various ways. The problem is that, at the end of the day, they stepped aside willingly. They continue to support the man that led the charge to force them out of office, and the party that did nothing to help them but stand back and watch it happen. They stood up and spoke their peace about Trump and how bad he is for the country, while also stepping aside and continuing to endorse the man and the actions they were speaking out against.
Their response to essentially losing their jobs to even more MAGA crazies is to thank the man responsible for it and ask for more. Even in defeat, these spineless cowards thanked their abuser and asked for more. And all there is coming up the pike are people who are lining up for exactly the same thing, thinking that they will be the special case that Trump won't abandon the nanosecond it suits him. So the cycle continues.
Traitor gonna trait
Grab him by his pussy.
