McConnell Tweets threat against "attacking the key Senate Rules" (Ruh Roh..)
Twitter ^ | 1/27/21 | Mitch McConnell

Posted on 01/27/2021 10:58:01 AM PST by jstolzen

Mitch (via his Twitter feed).."Today, I made clear that if Democrats ever attack the key Senate rules, it would drain the consent and comity out of the institution. A scorched-earth Senate would hardly be able to function. It wouldn’t be a progressive’s dream. It would be a nightmare.

I guarantee it."

But Lin Wood is a genius! A month or two ago *any* statement other than that they are utterly brilliant and the best lawyer ever brought an instant shower of froth and feces from every q-anon True Believer.

Mitch unconditional surrendered to the Democrats on what matters and does not show up in ACU ratings for four years. The Democrats now have control over the Presidency, Senate, House, and the choke points among Secretaries of State and Judiciary needed to throw Federal elections. The Democrats no longer need need to make or honor deals with him anymore.

This is a pretty strongly-worded letter.

It'll surely stop the left in their tracks - or Mitch will write another.

You fools! This isn’t Lin Woods doing. The is the establishment republicans doings. They want you to blame meaningless boogie men and not see what they have, and are, doing. And you fall for it hook, line and sinker. Wake up! They are implementing the great reset and all the powers are aligned in achieving it.

Anyone using the phrase “Wake Up” seriously is a blithering idiot.

Mitch McConnell is the enemy of Conservatives. He made that abundantly clear when he pushed for Trump’s impeachment.

Take anything he says with a gain of salt. Also, be sure to watch what his other hand is doing.

It's amazing that Mitch didn't see coming what 80 million people, did.

I guess he isn't as bright as they claim he is.

I say let it happen. Everyone needs a good scare so they will be happy to accept the plan that Trump is going to bring forth.

It’s all theater. China Mitch set up impeachment 2.0 this way so that the GOP can pretend to oppose the Dems after certifying the stolen election. Just more Potemkin opposition from a fake party. Sadly, many GOP voters will be duped by the GOP and their beltway flim flam scam.

Didn’t Lin Wood and many people say that it made NO DIFFERENCE if the Democrats won Georgia? If so, why get worked up here?


Didn’t Graham not vote for Trump in 2016?
Didn’t Romney vote to remove Trump?
Didn’t Senator Shelby defacto campaign for progressive Democrat Doug Jones and thus Obamacare repeal failed?
Didn’t Liz Cheney and a bunch of House GOPers just vote to impeach Trump?
Didn’t 5 GOP Senators just vote to proceed with the impeachment hoax?
Etc., etc.

all of the above are sitting Republicans. Lin Wood is in the peanut gallery. You going to indict them, too? I just find it odd that Lin Wood is the target of such ire when we have such a corrupt GOP.

Our problem isn’t Lin wood. Our problem is the filth and garbage we elect and send to Congress.

Lin Wood was wrong about this. Mitch doesn’t want to change the rules. We wouldn’t even be worrying about this issue if the two Republicans had won. Lin Wood got people all worked up for nothing, including telling Georgians to sit the run-offs out.


The GOP controlled Senate certifying the stolen election 93-7 is nothing? Really? They don’t call the GOP the Surrender Party for nothing. Naturally, Perdue and the lovely Kelly Loeffler voted to certify the steal. They got exactly what they deserved in the GA runoffs: defeat.

Agree. They don’t call the GOP the Stupid Party for nothing. Just weeks after the stolen election the GOPe is playing much of the base like a fiddle again. They’re already lined up to vote for whatever filth China Mitch and the Chamber of Commerce put on their ballots

I was speaking of Wood’s call to not vote. The voters are the people of Georgia, so if there had been a huge turnout for GOP candidates they might have overcome the margin of fraud.

Turtle is such a clueless idiot.
The Democrats just stole a Presidential election.
No one has been afraid of the GOP-e since Reagan.

I have seen 4- 6 spots today with either Obama or some black person as the speaker with a mob in the background telling people to call their senators to end the filibuster and that it is a rule left over from the Jim Crow era so the pubs can keep the peoples party from doing what the people really want or some such.

It was a sudden move so I’m assuming the dems will say it is grassroots. I trust Mitch about as much as I trusted Mike Pence to do the right thing.
