President Trump on Sunday posted a video trolling 84-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell for his cognitive decline and his refusal to support the SAVE Act to require voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote.
The House passed the SAVE Act last month, sending it to the Senate for consideration before Trump can sign it into law.
Due to some Republicans opposing the bill and a lack of Democratic support, the Senate must invoke a standing filibuster to pass the bill with only 51 votes, rather than the 3/5ths required under the current rule.
But several Republicans have said they will not nuke the filibuster. Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) oppose the SAVE Act.
Trump posted a video from the “Weekend at Bernie’s” film, where Richard and Larry are dragging Bernie’s corpse around and pretending that he’s alive.
The meme reads, “Mitch McConnell arriving to block the Save Act in as a last ditch attempt to save his name.”

Mitch has been a Puppet fir a very long time and Murkowski is just evilly stupid
It will be a blessing to all when his kind are gone. Voters everywhere and in both parties can be stupid to keep voting for people like mitch the turtle.
As dain bramaged as joe, if that’s possible.
It ISN’T VOTING TO ELIMINATE THE FILIBUSTER! !!!!!
It’s voting to make the filibuster a filibuster!!!!
This is just bat-dodoo crazy.
I don’t doubt that he is. My sympathy level is low. I would have great compassion for him were he not deliberately trying to destroy this country. Same way I felt about Biden.
Nice job trolling, Mr. President.
Having McConnell kill another conservative proposal is like a return of “Tales from the Crypt.” And now Thune is behaving like an apprentice McConnell. Republican congressional leadership sucks. (And has done so during most of my lifetime.)
Mitch is still living in a world of hatred for Trump because in 2016 Trump won the nomination. Mitch thought he should be the nominee but he was ignored for a better candidate. Seems to this day Mitch is spiteful and will go to his grave with hatred in his heart for America.
Mitch the bitch
Mitchy always was a Turtle RAT.
Somebody’s got to say it. When is Mitch going toes up?
His unelected staffers are in charge of his vote.
Indeed all the in office until death have them.
There's a reason for that...
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following Current Communist Goals, which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, natural, healthy.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a religious crutch.
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the big picture. Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the cultureeducation, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Trump sure is funny! It would be nice is he could use his vaunted “deal making” skills to get Mitch to pass the SAVE act.
Getting anything done at home, or even trying, seems to elude him.
I see way too many Illuminati signs in Washington.
Yeah, I hear you...of course, Lefties think Trump can just be King and order McConnell to do his bidding. Many on this forum think that, too.
They also think that maybe if Trump is nice to McConnell and treats him with respect, and doesn’t troll him, maybe McConnell will mysteriously have a change of heart because Trump is nice to him, and go along.
Talk about magical thinking.
