Wekk Colby is a problem, you see. He is a strong advocate of shifting our defense focus to China, which means moving away from all the grift in Ukraine. And that would annoy China Mitch and his handlers two fold.

Not to nitpick here but is a 54-45 vote all that bipartisan?

AWESOME news!!“

Is it? 45 rats is a huge red flag. Any nominee that gets more than a few rat votes is always a bad pick. Every time.

He’s 100% out of the closet now. He’ll probably start wearing false eyelashes, wigs, and feather boas.

McCain, er’ I mean McConnell is bitter and full of loathing that after 100 years in the Senate he is upstaged by neophyte Donald Trump. A normal party raised president would be treating him with the respect and importance he thinks he deserves, Trump ridicules him, so he will do anything to spite Trump.

Mitch and his wife need to be investigated for their funny connections with the CCP.

Mitch wants to be invited to all of the best parties when he retires, so no more pretending to be a Republican. It’s time to go full moonbat.

Beijing Mitch is only one drool away from BidenVille.

Wonder if “Dr” Jill Biden has been hired as a “Staff Consultant”?

Ah McTurtle, you show your true colors. Still angry that President Trump didn’t give your wife, Elaine Chao, a job in his 2nd Administration? Does this mean that you’re no longer an asset to the Chinese?

AKA "Dr. Evil" is the same creep that called Elon Musk (and by association, implied all Tesla owners) A**holes.

BTW, where was "astronaut" Kelly when his astronaut kin were needlessly stranded in space for unprincipled political reasons?

Hmmm?
