I love how liberals always scream about democracy, until they lose by one vote. Of course, if they had one by one vote, they would be celebrating and screaming “see democracy works” and “listen to the people”.

“Before long Mitch is going to need something.”

Yes, assisted living.

McConnell didn’t get a Biden pardon, did he.

Trump needs to link McConnell to Joe Biden’s decline and force Mitch to resign.

Mitch McConnell and his duplicitous agenda to support the UniParty.

#1 target to oust

A snake is less dangerous when it’s head is gone.

Mitch was THE VERY FIRST, formally, at the
very start of the resumed Joint Session of Congress that evening, right into the Republican microphone, to deem the shambolic acts of the Jan 6 protestors an “insurrection”.

If he wasn’t in on the Pelosi-planned, glowie-infested, Capitol-police-assisted Kabuki Theater that took place that day at the U.S. Capitol, This Guy is a monkey’s uncle. 🐒

“McConnell must be removed from any and all chairman positions. Shouldn’t have any power to wield in the Senate.”

Don’t risk giving Collins and Murkowski more power.

Mitch can resign if he gets riled and he would be replaced by the furthest left Kentucky RINO the Democratic governor can find.

Avoid battle unless victory is likely.

“Fetterman is a ‘different kind of Democrat.’”

Fetterman has a bit of the ‘fox’ in him.

I believe Fetterman is fairly young and wants to go far.

He plays his politics carefully for the long run.

Mitch’s empire has collapsed and he refuses to accept it. McDaniel is not around to react to his whims.

Trump needs to find out the dirt on McConnell and his Chinese connections right away to keep him straight on votes as long as he’s in there. He has a new CIA director. Should be able to find something?

+++++++++++

Should the above happen, one would think Kentucky would have a decent chance to put a non-donky-republican in the senate in 2026 as Mitch would be out of consideration. Your thoughts?

If Mitch has any committee positions, Sen. Thune should pull each and every one of them, replace Mitch with MAGA senators, and relegate Mitch to the back bench.

Better to work with him and get whatever we can out of him — and then primary him. Trying to punish him before the primary or his retiremet may make some of us feel better, but it won’t get bills enacted.

Those four stolen Senate seats illustrate the importance of attention to detail at the precinct level on election night, and the importance of ending early votong, mail-in voting, etc at the Federal level.

Article I §4: "The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations..."
