“He’s emboldened to do what he thinks is right,”
What’s right for McConnell, i.e., big payoffs from lobbyists and from China, isn’t necessarily what’s right for Americans. So he’s doing what he thinks is right — for HIM.
What these idiots don’t realize is that it isn’t “Trumpism” that embodies Trumps supporters, it’s support for a Constitutional Republic, limited government, economic freedom from undue regulation, secure borders, balanced budgets etc.
“You say that like you’re not a Trump supporter.”
I warned Trump supporters about Mitch.
“Many Freepers USED to think George Bush was a ‘good guy’.”
Mitch was criticizing Trump while he was President to the media and hardly endorsed him in 2016.
“MITCH MCCONELL WANTS TO PURGE TRUMP FROM THE PARTY FOR GOOD”
Sort of like slicing your own wrists and watching your blood run out.
Go ahead Mitch...show us just how stupid you are.
Pretty much all people think they are doing the right thing at that particular time. Even a drunk taking another drink. Dr. Evil, who is just “evil on purpose” is a fictional Character. People always justify their actions as good, if only in a “end justifies the means” sort of way.
I believe this about all politicians, and even folks like Hitler.
McConnell won’t run for reelection. He’ll retire at the end of his term.
...something he should’ve done many years ago.
Something the voters should have done many years ago.
President Trump is the head of the Republican Party until another Republican wins the Presidency. There is nothing McConnell can do to change that.

Why are we even wasting out time talking about a Senate trial? It’s not going to happen. When is this going to happen? The GOP would rather it not happen so that they can claim they would have taken action of some sort. Politicians love taking about what they would have done or not done. Kabuki theater at It’s finest.
It is amazing the YOU and other non-Trump supporters think Trump supporters thought McConnell was an ally of Trump's. You don't think Trump supporters saw through the phony Obamacare vote? Trump had to bring in Mitch's wife as SOT just so he could move his agenda through the Senate.
You probably think you Grand Old Party is safe now. Don't count on it. Plan for the primaries.
McConnell and others have destroyed the Republican Party - I will not support the current party ever again.
Faced with a deeply divided Senate Republican conference, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is giving his colleagues free rein to vote their conscience when the Senate tries Trump on charges that he incited an insurrection.

That ANY person elected by the “folks at home” might be “reined in” to doing the leadership’s bidding is WRONG!
It may be the way it’s been, but that type of control over the members of either house is atrocious. This is why neither house just VOTES until they know HOW the vote will go.
OUR Elected representatives are NOT representing US - they are doing as told by the leaders - NOT exactly the way our founders figured it would go.
“He’s emboldened to do what he thinks is right...”
If doing what is right has ever been McConnell’s goal, it has been a long, long, time. He is motivated only by successfully implementing his agenda. If it corresponds with the interest of the nation, it is accidental.

“...The GOP has become commie lite. They would sell out the country just as fast as the left....”
Turtle is part of the GOPe arm of the UniParty.
GOPe = DNC = UniParty = DS = Communists.
Yeah. They may all wear different hats, they all spout off different lies that their constituencies wants to hear, but the bottom line is; they’ve ALL got the same goals and agendas. Hint: and it ain’t to represent their constituent base.
Everyone here has been right on various topics over the years. This hindsight 20/20 crap is so childish.
Mitch McConnell is. in many ways, as compromised as Joe Biden, and for the same reasons. Much of his accumulated wealth is built up from personal contacts within the hierarchy of the ruling factions of the Chinese Communist Party, working through his spouse, Elizabeth Chao.
Elizabeth Chao is the daughter of shipping magnate James S.C. Chao. He founded Foremost Maritime Corporation, in Taipei, Taiwan, and emigrated to the US in the late 1950’s bringing his family, including daughter Elizabeth in the early 1960’s. The family became naturalized US citizens, and engaged in Republican politics from early on. But business being business, the Foremost Group became involved in dealing with the Communist Chinese shipbuilding in various mainland shipyards, which happen to be the largest and best bargain in the business. Getting several breaks on the construction of new shipping, all their business was directed there, but the Chinese Communist Party also extracts additional promises and obligations in exchange for their “favorable” deals. So Mitch McConnell is pulled insidiously and perhaps irrevocably into the reliance on the good graces of Xi Jining. Can’t afford to cross your business partners, you know.
But here comes Donald J. Trump, who recognizes a lopsided deal immediately, then proceeds to give the Chinese Communist Party a pretty severe drubbing. This greatly alarms Mitch McConnell, who sees an encroaching negative effect on his bottom line, because now, quite suddenly, Foremost Group no longer gets such favorable terms from the Chinese shipbuilders and port facilities.
Follow the money.
“They failed, but they came dangerously close to starting a bloody constitutional crisis. They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
WHAT A CANDY-ASSED PANSY!
I doubt there is one ball’s worth of testosterone in the entire US Senate!
“Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), an influential conservative who may run for president in 2024” is just an echo chamber for AOC. If he runs, he’ll draw fewer votes than Jeb....
McConnel thinks that if Trump goes away, then China goes away...
