McConnell seeks to end feud with Trump

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is seeking to end his running feud with President Trump, which escalated this weekend when the former president insulted him as a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “stone-cold loser” for not backing his false claims about the election.

Trump’s comments were especially stinging as they were widely publicized and came one day after Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), gave Trump a “Champion of Freedom Award" at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

False claim the election was stolen? THEY STOLE THE ELECTION. IT WAS A COUP D’ETAT! That’s the truth.

[FlipWilson]

“False claims” about the election.

Uh huh. Sure they are false. As evidenced by the democrats apoplectic reaction to the voter integrity reforms.

Whatever the particulars of Trump’s claims, why is it so hard to see the simple logic. Unverified, mail-in voting is nothing more than a contest to see who can manufacture more ballots. Votes don’t matter any longer, only paper ballots.

The dems get control over the election apparatus of the most populous county or counties in a state. They have used and continue to use that to tip states, particularly blue states. But now, they have moved on to every state. Fulton, Milwaukee, Maricopa, Miami-Dade/Broward, Detroit, Northern VA, etc. OK, that was bad enough. But add mail in balloting to it and it is now a dictatorship of Soviet proportions.

Now, by way of example, let us say that there are 300,000 registered democrats in a county. They mail out ballots to each an every one. Let us say that by Election Day only 100,000 are returned. Bad news, right? Wrong!! The democrats now have 200,000 ballots to work with. Come Election Day, they fill out what they need and tip the election. Without signature verification, what is to stop them. Not enough time? That could be a problem but they overcame it this election by ignoring the down ticket races and filling in the President vote only. Also, they had the right courts rule that the law could be ignored to allow votes to be received forever.

They will continue to do this. Who can blame them, it works.

And Mitch McConnell, king of the GOPenablers response? Mumble some marble mouth words and blame Trump.

We received two fundraising letters from the RNC yesterday - the wife tossed hers in the wood stove, but I am sending a special note to these back stabbers with mine. Likely a useless exercise, but nonetheless.

Mitch "Turtle" McConnell knows he and the Uniparty Republicans of the GOPe have lost Trump supporters, likely permanently unless they clean their own house. Turtle loathes President Trump, but needs his support.

Turtle has to go.

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is seeking to end his running feud with President Trump, which escalated this weekend when the former president insulted him as a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “stone-cold loser” for not backing his false claims about the election."

False Claims--That is why many states are reviewing their election procedures. There are no false claims.

[Paladin2]

The Turtle shoulda supported the Trump agenda for the last five years.

WAY too late for Ditch to turn his Legacy around.

He’s been permanently outed.

Murkey is hopefully walking the plank for 2022. Ditch is unlikely to regain control of The Senate and it’s mostly his fault.

[NWFree]

Mitch can resign and put himself out of all our misery.

[ConservativeInPA]

Just STFU and retire Turtle.

"for not backing his false claims about the election."

They think that if they keep repeating this long enough, people will believe it...

Donald Trump's claims about the election have certainly not been refuted. Or even investigated.

Has it not been reported old Mitch might be leaving before the end of this term?

Insights on Justices and appointments: yes he did push
for Trump’s appointees...but unable to claim these chosen
are the most conservative of the lot. Kavanaugh, Gorsuch?
Supposedly none better?
Optics equals deception and distraction.

[COBOL2Java]

Chao: "Mitch! Trump's on the phone! You gonna answer it, or what?"

[wildcard_redneck]

Let’s not forget that Mitch refused to go into recess for four years to prevent his own president from making recess appointments. Let’s not forget Mitch held the threat of impeachment over Trump during the bullcrap mueller infestation. Mitch stopped the wall. Mitch stopped repeat of Obamacare. Mitch resisted using the national guard to go after antifa and BLM. Much protected Wray and Rosenstein.

The hell with the Republican Party until the leadership changes.

it needed to be said again.

[TakebackGOP]

He blamed Trump for January 6th and attacked him during the impeachment, which was unconstitutional. Peter Navarro said that McConnell got in their way on everything except for judges.

Have you noticed how quickly and consistently “news” writers describe “false” or “baseless” the claims by PDJT that the election was stolen?

If we are to believe a recent Rasmussen poll, the majority of voters, including a substantial number of Democrats, believe the President’s claims to be anything but “baseless.”

So, despite the media’s best efforts, the public knows what it saw and isn’t being swayed.

"for not backing his false claims about the election."

Whenever I hear someone say that I always respond "the only proof I have been given that they are false claims is people that I don't trust tell me they are false claims. Please provide the actual proof that these were false claims."

That response always shuts that conversation up real quick because there isn't any proof that they can give.

The turtle deserves his day in the sun.
Someone turn him on his back so he can enjoy the rays.

[Yo-Yo]

STFU, Traitor Turtle.

They must have received the last few fund raising letters I returned to them post paid.

Brilliant!

I'm digging mine out of the trash so I can do just that...Only I'm adding a little note too.
