Senate Republicans have once again enabled RINO Mitch McConnell, gifting him the chairmanships of the Senate Rules Committee and the powerful Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense for the 119th Congress.
Despite concerns over McConnell’s mental acuity, his new roles position him to obstruct President Trump’s conservative agenda from within.
McConnell will now chair both the Senate Rules Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense—roles that could give him significant influence over key legislative priorities.
RINO McConnell wasted no time declaring his intentions.
McConnell claimed he would “play an active role” in safeguarding America’s security interests and protecting political speech in elections. Yet, his track record suggests otherwise.
Under his leadership, Republicans have repeatedly capitulated to Democrats on critical spending bills, border security, and judicial appointments.
Now, as Chair of the Defense Subcommittee, McConnell will control the largest slice of discretionary federal spending—a position ripe for misuse by the establishment to fund endless wars and bloated Pentagon bureaucracies rather than prioritize the needs of the American people.
The Rules Committee chairmanship gives McConnell further authority to shape Senate operations, a role he claims will “defend the Senate as an institution.” Translation? More bureaucratic stonewalling of conservative priorities and greater deference to the swamp’s agenda.

This is the kind of thing for which I did not trust Thune. He is too much in “the old boy network”.
Or the price Thune had to pay to become Majority Leader.
We now know who to email and call.
The GOP Biden. 🙄
Oh, LORD, please confound the plans of the evil man or move him out of the way, I pray, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
I think McConnell has three years left in his term. He may run again and I suppose if he did, Kentucky would send him back for an additional six years. Even though he may be in a wheelchair and on oxygen by then. I can see him being wheeled in to vote to protect the Establishment, Deep State, and favored lobbyists when he is a nonagenarian (if the Grim Reaper doesn’t take him before then).
Ditch Mitch
These bastards know we despise McConnell just like they knew Thune was the last one we wanted but they do not care.
Trump has a mandate. Mitch won’t stop it. These people have homes.
Might be better to pray for some type of divine intervention.
Mitch isn't well.
Biden and Pelosi are specimens of perfect health compared to Mitch.
We all joked how Biden’s handlers were imitating Weekend at Bernies.
I don’t think Mitch can do the Weekend at Bernie’s thingy for another six months before his gig is up.
Dems can put their feet up and kick back letting rinos do the road blocks for them. Easy peasy!
Scott had no chance.
McConnell is like Biden, controlled.
I have never seen a human being go full on glitch and be frozen mid-slobber, only to have some member of the senate lead him off by the elbow.
How we tolerate these geriatric members who are clearly controlled-opposition is beyond me.
You need to wake up to reality.
Thank goodness.
The guy is not going to make it to 2026
