McConnell Breaks Shoulder
axios.com ^ | 8/4/2019

Posted on 08/04/2019 9:28:37 PM PDT by Helicondelta

The injury comes as a number of Democrats and some Republicans have called upon McConnell to cancel the Senate's August recess so that lawmakers can pass gun control legislation in the aftermath of two deadly mass shootings this weekend.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded on Sunday that Senate Republicans put an end to to their "outrageous obstruction," referencing McConnell's refusal to bring two background check bills passed in the House this year for a vote on the Senate floor.

Sounds like The Left has decided to ‘up their game’ a bit.

I have to assume that this is a warning to other GOP Senators, particularly the ‘moderates’, to not go too far in supporting Trump.

There’s something about McConnell that always reminded me of Evel Knievel.

McConnell is a polio survivor!

I'm fairly certain he might even have osteoporosis or osteopenia as well.

‘Uh, no. Look up “infringed” in your funk&wagnells dumbasses.’

If they can work up a convincing arguement that whatever they want to make illegal is not covered by “the right...” then “infringed” won’t come into play.

Sounds like another Harry Reid like accident. Mitch needs to get onboard with the designated DNI selection and slow down the judge confirmations.

Yes, you’re right.

Prayers up for Mr. McCoknnell. Heal up, Mitch!

The left wants so, so badly to disarm law-abiding American citizens. They want it so badly, it must be an important part of their agenda for the future of ordinary American citizens, and not a good part, not good for us ordinary citizens.

IMO there ain’t a politician out there who wouldn’t be happy to see the citizenry dis-armed.

Good Karma for Cocaine Mitch after he led the resistance to STOP Ratcliffe’s nomination.

Broken shoulders suck. There is not much they can do.

This is what happens when the government is full of geriatrics.

There re airplane crashes that kill hundreds all at once.

There hve been NO CALLS IN CONGRESS to ban planes or airports.

There are 30-40 car/truck pileups on the highways that kill people & injure others,while causing thousands of $$$$ of damage.

There have been NO CALLS IN CONGRESS to ban autos. trucks or highways.

The predictable knee jerk reactions of the Left are over the top and should not be listened to.

There are millions of gun owners in the USA who have NEVER hurt another person & who are very unlikely to do so in the future.

However, the Left is pushing us into a confrontation they won’t like.
