Perhaps he had no choice, as the Democrats run the Senate and could end the filibuster tomorrow* Maybe if more of us had bothered to vote in the Georgia Runoffs, McConnell would have more cards to play.
*and if you think ending the filibuster is no big deal regarding the future of this country, don’t bother making a fool of yourself on this thread.
Senile Joe thanks you again McCoward.
Elections are rigged.
The Dems held it hostage until Demonic Mitch Folded .
China and the Chamber of Crony capitalists OWN Him .
He needs to be Hung as a Traitor to the Constitution .
yah well Mitch is always playing the “long game”: it’s kept his funk going for the last forty thousand years.
Please raise your hand and shout “Aye” if you are in the least surprised by this.
There would be no winners if the debt ceiling was not raised. Every American would likely be harmed. It is a high stakes dangerous game to play with no upside for anyone.
McTurtle sucks,
but he’s only uniParty anyway.
Good question.
He’s McCain without the mean streak.
Mitch McConnell is an anti-American communist sympathizer. He’s had one-world government RINO support for decades, for that exact reason. How’s his judicial confirmations worked out for an ethical sovereign nation. Well, notice that wasn’t a question. He’s been quite instrumental in confirming pure, but patient, ant-Americans.
People need to follow Mitch into the men’s room and demand he acts like a Republican!!
There’s an assumption here that Sleepy Joe’s polling numbers go up when Turtle “caves”. Not only do they not go up, but they continue to hit new lows which will end the Senate careers of more and more Rats. Suspect Turtle is happy to let the Rats continue to stew in their own “Manchinema” filth for the next 3 months and then run the “look he’s caving” playbook again.
In the Final Analysis,there is no practical difference between Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden.
This is a misreading of what happened. McConnell gave them a 6 week extension and gets to remind everyone again and again over the next year that the Dems’ irresponsible overspending has ruined the economy. This was his plan and Schumer walked into it.
What else can one expect of ChinaMitch?
Actually I think it is brilliant. He is inviting the Dems to vote to increase the debt ceiling twice in a couple of months. Once before they spend like drunken sailors and once after. I don’t think they will bite. Likely they will eliminate the filibuster, But that will come back to bite them in the ass. Whatever you think of the Turtle he saved us from having that total asshat Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court.
1,233,315 Kentuckians voted to reelect Mitch McConnell. He’s been in congress for 36 years. He’s been the Republican senate Majority/Minority leader since 2007. The U.S. public debt was nine trillion dollars in 2007. Under McConnell’s leadership, the debt in 2021 is 28 trillion dollars.
“Yeah, he’s destroying America, and he may be a RINO but he’s our RINO and we love our RINOs.” ~ A. Kentuckian
I wonder when “Republicans” in the Senate will say Enough and replace him?
