McConnell: If Republicans retake Congress, ‘we’ll make sure Joe Biden is a moderate’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed on Sunday that Republicans would “make sure Joe Biden is a moderate” if they retake Congress in the midterm elections later this year.

“Well our agenda next year, if we’re fortunate to be in a majority, will be focused on exactly what you and I’ve been talking about. Crime, education, beefing up the defense of our country,” McConnell told Fox News anchor Dana Perino on “Fox News Sunday.”

“We got big power competition with the Russians and the Chinese. We need to meet the demands of the international situation. So all of those will be on our agenda,” McConnell said.

“We will not have the presidency for two more years. Obviously, we will have to work with the administration to see what we can agree on but … let me put it this way. Biden ran as a moderate. If I’m the majority leader in the Senate and Kevin McCarthy is the speaker of the House, we’ll make sure Joe Biden is a moderate,” he added.

If Republicans take the Senate, and we get within 18 months of the next Presidential election, Brown Jackson will be the first and last Supreme Court justice Biden will have appointed.

Harris is Biden’s insurance he will not be impeached. After Biden steps down in 2024, she will be outta luck and have nothing to run for. She’s unelectable. She is going to either have to get a real job or sleep with Willie Brown again.

Not a good enough insurance policy. He needs to go. He’s inflicting too much damage, and right now, he’s a menace because of the border, Russia and Iran, just for starters. And he’s corrupt. Harris is just a talentless moron. Sure, she’s left wing and evil and all, but she doesn’t know how to be even half as corrupt as Brandon. Let her occupy the oval office until she can get Article 25ed, at which point the Speaker of the House, a Republican, can replace her.

“And I agree that we don’t need to send more money to the DoD, just make sure they spend it more wisely.”

We lost $85 Billion—leaving Afghanistan as Biden ordered—UNWISELY. That encouraged Putin, which should have the US spending even more on defense. As an example, the Javelin missiles going to Ukraine cost $107K each.

Decaying rates of enlistment are going to cost even more. Biden’s firing of our troops who won’t take the Vax will cost billions in just re-training those thousands we can round up as replacements. Experienced troops will be a difficult loss to experience.

Obama’s third term is catastrophic to our defense—and just about everything else!

:(

Impeachment starts in the House. The Senate votes for removal. It’s a political answer.

He also controls what bills come up for a vote. People blame Trump for his appointments, but they need to realize that McConnell decides which one will be appointed. Trump had to do just about everything by EO, because McConnell would not work with him.

China Joe and China Mitch are two sides of the
same Chinese coin.

We know Ukraine is corrupt but so is DC. Martha
Stewart went to jail for selling shares she already
owned. Nancy knows which companies will get
contracts in advance and trades on that info, that
is real insider trading.

Joe doesn’t send the weapons Ukraine needs
because his handlers in Moscow and China have
the dirt on him and Hunter.

You’ll need 60 Senators and 50+1 House members.

The F-35 is an example where they claimed trying to make one plane to fill three completely different missions would save money. To top it off, instead of having most of the plane designed and built in one location, they spread out the work to pretty much every congressman’s district. That only added to costs, delays, and mistakes. So even when pubbies are in charge the system is set up for failure.

The Republicans will need to start investigating Biden’s family and impeach Biden — no holds barred. Forget about making him a moderate. Keep him tied up in investigations as they tried to do to Trump.

That'd be great, if the Republicans weren't assistant Democrats.

“Well our agenda next year, if we’re fortunate to be in a majority, will be focused on exactly what you and I’ve been talking about. Crime, education, beefing up the defense of our country,”

What about closing our Southern Border? What about out of control energy prices? What about Inflation? education?? Screw that, we already give the unions too much money. Crime? What does that even mean?
