I swear if a single Democrat says nice things about McConnell

[nolabear]

now he’s announcing—ad nauseum—that he’s not seeking reelection, I will throw things. NOT A SINGLE POSITIVE WORD.

He’s in the top echelon of the sonsabitches that got us here. This self-congratulatory speech is disgusting. He’s disgusting. His disgusting face is disgusting. NOT ONE WORD.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Inevitable and quite frankly when it happens it will be a sign that we just dont REALLY get

what is happening.

[TheBlackAdder]

58. He does a good Yertle impersonation. There, I said it.

[malaise]

2. Nice that he's not running again

Rec

[nolabear]

3. Reminds me of the old Moms Mabley line.

“They say only speak good of the dead. He’s dead. Good!”

[malaise]

10. Ha

Will be posting that for Donvict & MoscowMitch.😀

[Evolve Dammit]

53. I was just thinking of Moms Mabley today! Priceless

[standingtall]

48. Would've been nicer if resigned already so Beshear could've appointed a Democrat

[malaise]

49. Didn't they change the rules to prevent that?

Sure I read that here - will look it up

Update - yes

Kentucky Legislature cuts Democratic governor out of picking potential McConnell replacement

[standingtall]

50. He could've resigned before they did it in 2021 though

[Solly Mack]

4. I expect some congenial comments.

And I'll snort in derision.

[pnwest]

5. His refusal to allow President Obama to ...

… seat a Supreme Court Justice went a long way towards getting us where we are today. I hate him with the heat of a thousand suns. That stunt should never have been allowed. It’s a crime…

[nolabear]

16. Yep. I started hating him then and he hasn't disappointed.

[Blue_playwright]

64. I hope neither side of his pillow is ever cool

I hope he brings home bed bugs and crotch crickets from DC and they never eradicate them from his home, carpets and sofa. I hope black cats always cross his path and every light is a red one when the ambulance finally comes to get him.

[Ocelot II]

6. Not running for re-election is a nice thing. They can say that.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

7. he is the devil

could have stopped all of this, but his soul was sold to the partisan devil long ago, never to return

[pazzyanne]

55. He could have voted against Kash Patel today,

but did not!

[NotHardly]

8. Agreed. No more mealy mouthed platitudes for this wanker

They do not play nice, and f*ck him hard in particular

[lastlib]

36. With a cactus.

A saguaro.

When you get to Hell, Addison, say hello and fuck you to Nixon, Reagan, and Scalia for us. You effing evil basturd. I hope Satan has an extra-hot bed of coals for you.

[twodogsbarking]

9. When it comes to Mitch the high road washed out a long time ago.

[Skittles]

11. that pious POS Pence getting praise too

[nolabear]

18. RIGHT???

I’ll allow an occasional real mea culpa but not that smarmy weasel.

[Skittles]

21. THANK YOU

you get it

[WestMichRad]

12. I'll say a nice thing about him:

He’ll be dead soon.

(But not soon enough!)

[rubbersole]

15. Me, too!! I think he's #1 - numero uno!

In a world of republican spineless treasonous pieces of shit, you are the man!

[elocs]

13. What about a married Democrat? n/t

[Oopsie Daisy]

14. Did he die or something?

[question everything]

17. He single handedly changed the judiciary. First, by blocking many (all?) Obama's nominees

and, then, of course, with Gorsuch and Barrett.

No to confirming on the president's last year - when a Democrat - yes, when is Whiny.

[relogic]

19. AN ASSET

That traitor (MC) to our Constitution and democracy is on the same level as the asset agents T & M. Their mission is already accomplished. Well done, you excuse for an American patriot. For 10 years you undermined our elections. You obstructed every step of the way to game Supreme Court confirmations. Your legacy will be one of disgrace, for you betrayed the very oath of office as a senator-that is, to defend our country from enemies within and outside. Any accolades afforded you will be cheers of relief because your consumption of oxygen will end and be given to the likes of valuable human beings.

[aggiesal]

20. But he looks so cute! ...

High School Sr. picture


In the Senate.

[dalton99a]

22. McConnell made Trump 2.0 possible.

He could have nipped it in the bud - on multiple occasions

[JT45242]

23. The only nice thing to say is to use fiddler on the roof...

May the Lord bless and keep, mitch McConnell, far away from us.

[Fil1957]

24. The worse thing about him stepping down

is that he will be replaced by someone even more dreadful.

[Omnipresent]

26. Hopefully Andy Beshear runs for that seat.

[TalenaGor]

25. good riddance is about as nice as I can get for that piece of shit.

[bronxiteforever]

27. His goal was to drown the Republic in the bathrub

of stolen judicial seats and racism. His legacy is set and the leopards in his party are awaiting their turn to eat his face.

[mercuryblues]

28. Well, if you have nothing nice to say...

come sit next to me.

[VTderry]

29. Your subject line had me thinking he'd shuffled off his turtle shell.

Ordinarily, I'd be thrilled if that was so.

But I want him to stick around and suffer with the rest of us, since he is largely responsible for getting us here.

[krawhitham]

30. who cares what they say, only thing that matters is what they do

[kimbutgar]

31. I have nothing nice to say to him but don't let the door hit your ass on the way out !

It’s obvious he hates the 💩🍊🤡 so he’ll be unrestrained now in his criticism.

It should be delicious to watch!!!!

[Haggard Celine]

68. I wonder if he's already

got his book written. You know he’s going to write one. Could be very good if he’s honest.

[Terry_M]

32. I would like to thank Mitch McConnel for his contribution

via all the turtle jokes comedians have made about him.

[Bluethroughu]

33. The lake of fire, is awaiting his plop.

[BigDemVoter]

34. NolaBear, I agree 100%!!!!

[KSL-Washington]

35. Who's first?

I bet Schumer will be the first one to say what a great man he was and how his knowledge of the Senate will be missed.

[malthaussen]

37. When he dies, schools and roads will be named after him, and he will be beatified.

The eulogies -- from Democratic Presidents he did his best to undermine -- will be sickening. When he dies, every flag in the nation will be flown at half staff and he will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. History will call him "great" and "significant" and compare him to John C. Calhoun, which will actually be sneaky irony in reality.

They will probably even name a warship after him.

[Blue Owl]

38. That fucker paved the way to where we are right fucking now

And what a fucking place it is.....

[DENVERPOPS]

42. No shit

More than even Trump, he brought the Republican's single handedly to where we are today.......

If they were all Old Guard Republicans in the Senate, they would have impeached Trump on January 21st 2017........

And all the Old Guard Republicans would have had NOTHING TO DO, with a "commie" like Putin

[Katinfl]

45. The icing on the cake was when he refused to convict him in the 2nd impeachment.

He could have swayed other republicans to vote for conviction and trump could have never run for office again. It would have been a done deal as far as elections go. So many reason why we are here now, but McConnell is a big one. So many others to blame, but McConnell is the main reason. I hate them all for what we are forced to suffer through because of this idiot and his side kick. I pray this comes back to haunt them all.

[LilElf70]

39. McConnell

has always been a piece of chit for as long as I know. A real snake in the grass. Farewell. He will not be missed by anyone.

[Scrivener7]

40. One of the four horsemen of our current situation.

[oldtime dfl_er]

41. I've hated this man for 20 years

and his retirement is long overdue. He is the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst.

[groundloop]

43. Only one good thing to say...... GOOD RIDDANCE !!!!!!

The motherfucker has been attempting to look like a moral human being lately, but he missed the boat on that when he denied President Obama the chance to nominate a Supreme Court Justice (and it's my opinion that Garland would have been a far better Justice than AG), and then his failure to convict tRump. Good riddance.

[4catsmom]

44. a career villian

hope hell is too hot for you Mitch

[JoseBalow]

46. Can I still wish him a slow and painful death?

[Gophergrunt]

47. DR Frankenstein.

Two impeachments fixed by mitch,supreme court justices stolen from Obama thru I do have issues with Obama lying down for these lies.Mitch is the single most corrupt man to ever serve in office. Until he released the monster he created and can't control.

[CentralMass]

51. I suspect that Mitch has a room waiting for him in a very warm place.

[Voltaire2]

52. They will. They are going down with the ship of normalcy.

[Passages]

54. Evil man who believes HIS version of corruption is acceptable.

It is acceptable to screw the environment, to screw the working class, and on and on .

He believes he is a better man than Trump...most of us know better.

[live love laugh]

56. What Democrat has he ever lauded? Fuck him with a ramrod.

[BaronChocula]

57. Brace yourself

for some douchy goodbyes from some of our own whose preferred drug of choice is collegiality.

[Dem4life1970]

59. Let's review...

1. Created out of whole cloth an imaginary rule that said Obama could not appoint a replacement for Antonin Scalia, clearly ignoring the Constitution.

2. Supported Trump and everything he did.

3. Shepherded and passed the largest tax cut for the uber rich in U.S. history stacking 8 trillion dollars in 4 years on the American debt.

4. Ignored #1 (above) and jammed Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court with days to go in the 2020 election.

5. Voted to acquit, rather than convict Trump, twice. He had the sole power in his hands to end the lunacy that is going on today and put history back on the right path. He instead tried to have it both ways: a strong, truthful, post January 6 speech, but then a vote for acquittal.

6. Stacking SCOTUS and lower courts with right wing judges (thankfully Biden and the Senate Dems undid the lower court damage by putting more judges on the bench than he did).

7. I will stop for now but there's much, much, more to say about McTurtle. History will be very unkind to him.

[H2O Man]

60. Way recommended.

[Martin68]

61. Without McConnell, Trump would have been removed from office during his first term.

[Conjuay]

62. I'll say something nice

he’s got to die sooner or later.

[iemanja]

63. That's been obvious for a while

It should come as a surprise to no one.

[Meowmee]

65. I can almost guarantee some will 😹

[LetMyPeopleVote]

66. May he rot in hell

Link to tweet

[Trueblue Texan]

67. He's not merely the top echelon...

He is foundational in our demise. Without him, the court would not be the political tool it has become. When we lost the court, it was just a matter of time.
