Only electing pro-Trump Republicans and removing McConnell as the Republican leader in the Senate will change things.

I hate to say it but I think McConnell is actually right here. Make the entire 2022 midterm elections all about a report card on Biden and the Democrats. Don’t give the media or the Democrats anything to fire at on the Republican side. I get why some people are frustrated but there’s actually something pretty smart about what McConnell is doing here and I hate defending the guy in any way shape or form. I just want to caution against us all knee-jerk reacting and instead looking at what the midterm elections really need to be; a complete referendum on Biden, the Democrats and their failed socialist-communist plans for America.

But will it be a good nothing or a bad nothing?

The GOP never (since the 1920’s) has done anything that protects or resurrects our formerly Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms & liberties...

They never will in the future, since there are, virtually, no freedoms & liberties left to defend or resurrect...

The country has (as Ronald Reagan succinctly warned) about a thousand years of the darkest tyranny to endure...

Through the government schools, the communists have molded the last couple of generations into budding communists or communist supporters...

At least 40 million of the MIVs will vote, illegally, in the 2024 elections...

The ballot box is no longer a viable option...
The tree awaits...

Just can’t trust the source because Megan McCain’s husband runs the site. But that’s just me.

“But!” the immediate retort from Very Smart People goes, Biden will veto whatever Republican majorities may send to him. So this entire exercise is pointless. Instead, House congressmen are suggesting they should work with Biden on immigration — as if Biden would support any legislation that doesn’t contain massive amnesty. Or find ways to cooperate on other goals, as Sen. Lisa Murkowski recently pondered, like “making Social Security more sustainable.”

It’s true, the Biden White House will likely veto anything that comes out of a Republican-controlled Congress. To that, I say, good! Let Biden veto whatever he wants. The voters will be much better served by forcing clarification on the major issues plaguing millions of Americans around the country than some half-baked compromise on Social Security that robs future Peter to pay present Paul, inevitably shields the Boomers from sacrifice, and ultimately changes nothing.

I've been saying this for decades, most recently two weeks ago:


The Republicans don't have it in them to retaliate. Clinton's impeachment was an anomaly.

Democrats can impeach President Trump twice, knowing that the Senate will never convict him, because they want the optics of it.

Republicans will look at the Senate and say it's no use, so they won't even try. For Republicans, the optics is one of weakness and fecklessness.

Repubs see a Senate majority as a pillow they can sleep on.

The collectivists see it as a sawzall to destroy everything.

McConnell told a room full of donors, lobbyists, and in-cycle senators that he would not be putting forward an agenda outlining the priorities for his conference should Senate Republicans regain a majority in 2022.

No he won't, like Brandon said, is Mitch FOR anything (other than enriching himself)

It’s not completely accurate to say they’ll do nothing. They’ll make a few marginal, cosmetic changes around the edges, hoping that’s enough to satisfy the base.

The reason is, China, having bought and paid for he and his wife and their family’s future, will not let McTurtle do anything to upset their applecart.

All they need to be, to keep the cushy and lucrative job, is just a little bit better or more attractive than the alternative. It’s all in the margins.

“run solely on a platform detailing how bad the other guy is”

not that I agree but this is right out of the democrat playbook and it seems to work for them. Of course, they tell monstrous lies but that doesn’t seem to matter either
