Mitch McConnell just voted NO on President Trump’s secretary of defense nominee
This led to VP Vance having to rush down to cast a tie-breaking vote, only the 2nd such vote in U.S. history
As Republican Senators gather around to congratulate Vance, notice McConnell walk over and SHAKE HANDS with the Democrats
If you thought RFK Jr and Tulsi was going to be easy—think again.
The GOP Establishment isn’t going down without a fight.
Get ready.

They are his “colleagues,” after all.
McCain again.
Eject this old toad from the Republican Party.
Yes it does remind me of that and he could prove a thorn in the side
This guy craves for power, from whatever source he could get.
Not for very much longer.
Why do people keep voting for these jerks?
Gabbard will sterilize intel.
This is important in that the Swamp needs narrative infected intel to justify their votes.
If she informs the agencies that intel from allies that is not supported by satellite imagery will not be briefed to the president or Congress, everything in foreign affairs changes. It will be explosive. If S. Korea and Japan have been the source of most N. Korea description and this is not confirmed, suddenly N. Korea becomes less evil.
This will be so in Ukraine too. And Venezuela.
Hers is the most important of the nominations. Being a woman could get her surprise votes. She has none of the Hegseth scandal around her, and several Dem Senators are new and don’t hold a party change grudge.
Her odds are better than RFK.
Primary Sen Collins in 2027, lets get that going now.
The sooner he goes toes-up, the better.
And all you asses here telling me I need to be thankful for Mitch.
Mitch is the epitome of Uniparty: democrats plus ancient crusty Rep leadership.
I mean it was practically a given that the turtle would go against the grain. He always does, and I would've bet solid money that he would've this time. But shaking hands with the enemy? That's just rubbing salt in the wound.
Hegseth got confirmed though. That's the important bit, and I hope that sticks in Mitch "the B**ch" McConnell's craw forever.
He’ll be gone soon enough.
Very interesting
Glitch craves money too.
Most recently, I’ve heard, he got almost as many millions as Biden did from all the billions we sent Ukraine.
Stuck with him until after 2026...ugh. He’ll be gone in January 2027.

He’ll have to keel over to leave any sooner.
What a wasted life. He gathered all this wealth and he’s getting to old to do anything with it, other than the best nursing care money can buy.
Not too old to remember the Chinese own him and want out military hobbled from within.
He voted as his masters told him to vote
