Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announces he is “especially proud” of passage for his amendments requiring the U.S. military to continue operations in Afghanistan and Syria:
The bill passed 77-yea, 23-nea. [Vote Tally Here] The only Republican who voted against perpetual war in the middle east and supported President Trump was Rand Paul.
Every time this happens victims of battered conservative syndrome start a process of reconciling the reason for their abuse by excusing and justifying their abuser, Mitch McConnell.
Let’s be clear, CTH has watched this process, on a very granular level, for well over a decade; specifically about Senator McConnell. Mitch McConnell doesn’t give a hoot what any voter, constituent, or member of the national electorate thinks about his action. He is entirely unfazed and bound to a power ideology that sets him above all considerations.
Senator Mitch McConnell, just like all of the power brokers within the DC beltway, views himself as your ruler. Until we purposefully accept the nature of this abusive relationship nothing will change, ever. Reminder…
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has one major career alliance that has been unbroken and unchanged for well over two decades. That alliance is with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and specifically with CoC President Tom Donohue.
Mitch McConnell is stealthily working against the efforts of President Donald Trump. The effort is to support his primary Wall Street financial benefactor, Donohue. However, Mitch McConnell cannot directly be connected to underhanded efforts against President Trump because it would lead to: (A) questions about a confrontation; and (B) public exposure. [ex. think about how McConnell is blocking President Trump from recess appointments]
To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party revisit these old articles: CNN Part Iand CNN Part II both showcase how McConnell works. Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE].
Yes, Democrats are the opponents. However, the far more urgent MAGA enemy is Mitch McConnell….
FUMitch. We’ll see what we can do about making you the minority Senate leader ***hole.
None of mitch’s kids over there.
Somebody ought to kick him right in his twat.
His (mis)statements should be aired far and wide.
THEN...
Round Robin ALL the SOBs to meet the next ‘load’ landing at Dover and let THEM explain to the parents and loved ones why they are so proud of their decision(s).
McConnell is definitely beating the war drum that McCain no longer can. RINO and tool for the Democrats, too, which makes him an Enemy Domestic. He has to go.
I don't see how Congress can direct troops in a non-declared war. Hell, even if they declared war, the President can prosecute it (or not) any way he wants to.
The military follows the President's orders. Not Mitch "Five Chins" McConnell's.
Am I wrong?
He’s getting pounded with comments.
Real American people are not happy with Mitch.
McConnell works for Israel & Saudi Arabia. He will shed the blood of every American soldier if that’s what they ask for. Time to admit the obvious.
Trump should do in Syria and Afghanistan what the Dims advocate for the U.S. border; withdraw all humans and maintain a “smart presence” with cameras, sensors and drones.
After all, if it is good enough for the border then it should be more than sufficient for these places.
ONLY Rand Paul has clean hands out of 53 GOP Senators.
The rest can go to Hell as far as I am concerned.
Just another POS stinking up the halls of Congress.
MITCH! I hardly knew ye’. From lion during Kavanaugh to flounder now, something’s TERRIBLY WRONG HERE.
Either get a FRICKIN’ CLUE, or GET THE HELL OUT OF THE GOP. ASAP
Until this weasel has a son AND grandson serving, he needs to shut up. Our troops and their families are worn out from endless deployments. Afghanistan is hopeless. Nothing else can be done. It is the ultimate S***hole. No more American blood.
The spice must flow.
WHAT MISSION!!!? Our Southern border is wide open and we send our military to the world’s sh*tholes which are NOT our problem anymore. What a fidiot!
Without a formal declaration of war by congress, all the amendments in the world have exactly zero impact on the Commander In Chief’s command over the military.
Mr. McConnell:
How many of your loved ones are currently serving tours in Syria in Afghanistan? And I don’t mean paper-pushers.
Mcconnell is a snake! He and some others think they can run the government via telling Trump what to do and how to do it!
TIRED of these republicans who will not back the President!!!
And just saw ole maxine yelling about our President... on Fox. She has so much hate she can’t breathe. Plus, please tell us the gillions lies she says he tells.. what are they?
Every one of those in congress has a past...they have dirt on them... they are not clean... look at Virginia.... they can’t find a good one that doesn’t have something on him/her. But they attack and attack our President! I dread watching the speech tonight... if pelosi sits behind him... and hard telling what they will do for rebellion so the world can see.
I pray they stop those illegals waiting at our gates.. at our border. They are voters to the dems... to the left... If it were not for Trump.. they’d all flood in and our country would be gone!
