He will have to float out of the chamber, because walking would require him to let a motion reach the floor.
Moscow Mitch should have been shown the door years ago, this system sucks. He and his friends have damaged America far more than any foreign enemy could ever hope to.
Hey, now! Moscow Mitch hates being called Moscow Mitch, so we probably shouldn’t call him Moscow Mitch because the nickname Moscow Mitch might become popular again and that would upset Moscow Mitch on the day that Moscow Mitch announced that he’s stepping down from Moscow Mitch’s leadership role.
He prefers ‘Cocaine Mitch’ his previous moniker
He and his friends have damaged America with the aid of Putin.
The only thing I’ll miss is that gag they always do on SNL Weekend Update where they show a picture of him smiling and say something like: “Mitch McConnell, shown here watching an orphanage burn down…”
Gets me every time.
“I love the Senate,” he said. “It has been my life. There may be more distinguished members of this body throughout our history, but I doubt there are any with more admiration for it.”
The blatant shamelessness is on-brand.
Well it has been his life, he has been there for 40 years
And he has such admiration for it that he’s spent those 40 years systematically destroying the principles on which it was founded.
In suspiciously timed and totally unrelated other news
What fresh bastard will replace him.
Good ol’ Cocaine Mitch
Fuck Mitch McConnell.
Eww.
McConnell be like
We wish he didn’t do anything.
He prevented things from being done
He is a huge reason for the state of the courts. Which has done an unfortunate amount.
He prevented Merrick Garland from being considered
He did plenty, but it was pretty much universally bad for humanity.
He was evil, he was a hypocrite, he was many things, but he was quite effective.
I choose to read this headline as “record ruin”
The timing is curious, particularly with Republicans likely to regain the Senate majority in the next Congress. But he has been openly working with Schumer on things, and it probably drives Trump nuts. He probably figures that if Trump wins, he doesn’t want to have to kiss up to him again.
Timing? … the guy’s about to die because his body is starting to decompose.
The biggest problem that American politicians have at this point is a finite lifespan.
