The one question that all politicians running for US Senate should be asked is – whether they stand with President Trump or Mitch McConnell.

Mitch McConnell has shown his true colors. They’re not pretty.

..... Snip......

In a new book McConnell’s actions on Jan 6 were uncovered.

In the hours after supporters of Donald Trump laid siege to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, House Republican Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly said he was “exhilarated” that the then-president had finally tarnished his reputation.

“I feel exhilarated by the fact that this fellow finally, totally discredited himself,” McConnell told Jonathan Martin, a New York Times reporter who detailed the exchange in a new book, “This Will Not Pass.” Excerpts of the book were obtained and reported on by The Washington Post on Monday.

“He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger,” the Kentucky Republican reportedly told Martin at the U.S. Capitol in the early hours of Jan. 7. “Couldn’t have happened at a better time.”

He also asked the political correspondent for intelligence on whether the Cabinet and vice president might considering removing Trump from office using provisions of the 25th Amendment, according to the book.

McConnell then reportedly told Martin he had spoken to Democratic leaders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), about releasing a joint statement telling Trump not to attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

South Carolina came from your “about” page, that is all.

I really think that the entire US Senate is a useless, or even degenerate, body. It does not function as the designers of the Federal Government intended because of the change in the Constitution of how Senators are selected.

Hahaha haha! So funny!

Glad you got a laugh. :)

But you made me think. I believe much of the corruption we have, now, is because those in office wield too much power.

With term limits, I see two obvious and immediate effects:
1) The last term will be “free”. Grab what you can, you can’t run again.

2) Politicians will get even more power, to accomplish what the voters want in a limited amount of time.

Read the US Constitution for more laughs. They couldn’t figure out how to do it, either.
