The man has been leading by example for years. Remember when, during the Obama presidency, he refused to even call a vote on any Supreme Court nominees?

He has shown time and time again that he doesn't care about the unwritten gentleman's rules that the government has been (more or less) abiding by for centuries, and now he's shocked that his party is overrun by people with zero interest in working towards anything other than destruction?

He's a fool and he's dragged us down with him.

Hey guys, I poured some diesel on this fire, and hid all the extinguishers. Turns out that it's hard to control it now.

Of course you had options, you traitorous piece of shit:

• You could refuse to endorse Trump
• You could switch parties and become a Democrat
• You could resign
• You could kill yourself

You had tons of options, but you'd rather let democracy burn anyway.

"I have no power to stop this" says man who refused to even try to use the ACTUAL POWER HE HAD stop this

Fuck off and die McConnell, preferably in the most painful way possible. He refused to impeach the fucker, so this is just whining to try to protect his legacy, but this is 10000% his fault.

Doddering pensioner wonders why he has no control

That's some amazing logic.

I have absolutely no power and am utterly helpless. I'll stay in the job.

"I'm shocked after creating this monster I'm unable to control it" - mitch McConnell

He should fuck off and die.

I need to pick up some fireworks for when that traitor finally dies.

Well, well, well... If it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

Once you announce retirement, you're lame duck. This is not news to McConnell or anyone else.

Absolute scum.

I don’t think he can control his own sphincter.

So, in order to avoid having no influence, you use all of your influence to advance someone else's ends? Idk man, seems like you could have told Trump to eat a dick on national TV, told the Republican senators that you were never going to have a better chance to get rid of his ass, and voted to convict and bar him from politics if it passed.

Sure, I don't get to be a senator, but the fuck would I want to be a senator for, if that was the price of entry? You get to be a pawn, and get played? Pass, old man.

“The issue is, what kind of influence, even if I had chosen to get involved in the presidential election, what kind of influence would I have had?”

What a worm.

You cannot control a room full of demented dogs with terminal rabies.

Don’t worry Bitch, Putin does.

Under the fool's watchless eye cretins rise.
