GOP Senators Hand Mitch McConnell Power to Derail Trump’s Agenda with Two Key Senate Roles in 119th Congress for the Next Two Years
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/22/2024 | Jim Hoft

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.

I believe he has already said he will not run again.

If we’re lucky maybe he’ll die (of natural causes.) Governor Beshear says the law passed over his veto to give the legislature, not him, power to appoint a successor is unconstitutional . I think I disagree, but the republic majority could vote to seat a replacement who’s not a pos.

Dear Lord,

Please remove him from his positions of power. And others of his vintage as well. There are too any DS players working to undermine justice and the rule of law in this country. this is not what we the people wan t when we voted for Trump.

Please clean house where we cannot.

I don’t think anyone awards McConnell chairmanship of whatever committee.

That is determined strictly by seniority.

Odds must be that Mitch will have some sort of affliction sidelining him for an extended period....and we still have the VP tie-brake cushion.

In fact, we may need to revisit KY Gov Beshear’s threat to replace an R senator with a D despite state constitution that prohibits that.

Trump should have his AG dig for some dirt on Thune and McConnell and make their lives miserable.

“Trump has a mandate. Mitch won’t stop it. These people have homes.”

Mitch will do whatever his Chinese handlers and CIA/FBI handlers tell him to do.

“Gov Beshear’s threat to replace an R senator with a D despite state constitution that prohibits that.”

Liz Cheney might take a sudden fancy to Lexington.

Long life and good health to ‘The Turtle’!

Democracy is like a cancer. It normally destroys its host.

There is a simple thing that can block the global crony capitalists.

I won’t say what it is at this time.

Their plan from the get-go as soon as Trump won was to stop his candidates in their tracks. They are not going to confirm any of his candidates that do not meet the DC RINOS swamp qualifications. The RINOS already raised the yellow flag. Only the rats get the green light but their own party nominees get threatened and hassled. No smooth sailing for any of his nominees. That’s why I was so pissed that Matt removed his name from the AG position. Honestly it came across as a tuck tail between legs and high tail it out of dodge city. He should’ve never agreed to run for that position if he was in man enough to fight like hell against the swamp RINOS! The optics of him fighting the swamp would’ve made him an everlasting hero instead he made MAGA look bad!

If Turtle thinks he and his minions can lock horns with Trump, they are in for a shock.
These are all coming to an end:

Ukraine
DEI
Tranny
Obama
Clinton
Bush-Rove-Cheney

And that is all by Feb

Turtle is mentally shot.
He’s not capable of carrying SloJo’s diaper bag.
He is still the poster child for the Term Limits movement, along with Nazi PeLousy and Chuck Schumer.

He won't run again. He's declared open war on Trump, he knows he's going so he doesn't have to pretend any more.

He's protecting our nations security from the guy who wants peace so he can preserve the policies of the guy who tried to start WW3

New Senate the same as the old senate. The deep state will always protect itself.

I suspect that Mitch has been neutralized by the Havana Syndrome.
