Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Democrats on Tuesday against scrapping the legislative filibuster.
“I consistently said no to the current president on that issue and he’s tweeted about me a number of times,” McConnell quipped.
GOD IS IN CONTROL
senatemajldr has nerve doesn’t he?
Snapping turtle
Well he junked most of the rest
SUFFICE TO SAY, YOU PROBABLY WON'T BE AROUND TO STONEWALL THE INEVITABLE...
Mitch fails to realize that we are going to get rid of the Republican Party permanently...so his vile threats are certainly meaningless...
This is really sweet coming from MoscowMitch. Don't forget which party screwed the SCOTUS process by changing the rules and then refusing to act on a fully-qualified nominee (MerrickGarland). It's time for you to get to work for America or get out of the way.
Good ol’ boy manipulater.
He must have a real sinking feeling right now.
Why isn't he in jail? 😷
Isn’t this an admission that the Republicans are likely to lose the Senate and he may lose his seat? As to the future, unlikely that they’ll find another such weaselling person to hand the majority leader gavel to.
Treat you the same way you have treated us. Vicious Republican Racism. You have been putting judges like this in our courts. senatemajldr A Georgia 14-year-old boy was given TEN YEARS IN PRISON by an Evangelical Republican Judge for teaching a 12-year-old boy 'self-abuse.'
Wow. He's really worried about November.
Well he’s delusional
We're hoping they won't remain in total control of everything.
A bit of wisdom from a man who has destroyed a great number of longsranding senate traditions to work his partisan will.
Yes we will MoscowMitchMcConnell because we will end gerrymandering, make sure people are given the opportunity to vote by NOT shutting down polling places and prohibit foreign entities from meddling in our elections 😉
F that guy. He’s reaping what he’s sown.
Hell, I'll take partial after November. Total will come in 2022.
More than half the U.S. population relied on the workplace for health coverage, before a pandemic that’s triggered record job losses worldwide.
Boy are we gonna remember that one, Mitchie!
Trump administration treats doctors like the clean-up crew after a deadly traffic accident. Imagine spending years to get a Doctorate & having your words disputed in the media by poorly educated politician/pundits. The whole medical field is being treated like shit. It's depraved
Yes, like the way Mitch removed it for SCOTUS, judges and cabinet heads?
What a piece of .........
McConnell must go. He and Trump. They have hurt Americans for decades to come.
And a note to my Senate Majority Leader Friend, you may actually turn into a turtle if you keep it up.
Wasn’t MoscowMitch the guy who “went nuclear”? I don’t even care about the context of his comment. Remember MerrickGarland?
Either are you....
Its a little early for this sort of thing......
America vrs. MoscowMitchMcConnell
Listen I don’t want the filibuster scraped but this asshole has no business commenting on it.
He’s naive to think it won’t happen. Democrats began the trend and now they’re way worse.
Yes, the same can be said for you! How U can wake up & look at yourself each day amazes me. You R a horrible man. You can’t be fiscally responsible, the Government gives U billions. You R an ENEMY of the state & belong in jail. Your owe UR ppl not trump. But UR not a decent man
senatemajldr I thought you liked scorched earth politics...GraveDiggerOfDemocracy
Forward thinking, nixing the Republicans in Congress! You are not our friend, you let several criminal acts get by on your say so! And, it continues! Do nothing Republican Senate! Corrupt to the hilt!
I think the important thing for our Republican friends to remember is you my not be in power in the future.
It’s pretty clear that MoscowMitch is part of the problem.
I don't think it's possible for me to despise Mitch McConnell more, and yet everyday, my loathing grows. This is not who I am as a person. I'm furious at Mitch and Donald and the GOP for causing me to feel this way.
Ya he should take his own advice!
We’ll deal with that when it comes. Go home old man.
Dont listen a word this idiot says.
Dear Democrats, Please do not take political advice from senatemajldr . He does not have your best interests at heart!
I don’t think the Democrats need to be “schooled” by MoscowMitchMcConnell
Well, who’s got votes for cloture?
OR you might be. Depends on Putin. Let's all call Putin. Anybody got his number?
Is that a threat MF!
Don't know about that. Republicans increasingly looking like dinosaurs gazing at the meteor in the sky.
When you change the Senate rules to fit your needs, you cannot complain for the other side doing the same. That was MoscowMitch's excuse for ignoring the rules, and now he wants the Democrats to ignore and unsee what he had done while he was the Majority leader.
If the voters in Kentucky wake up and decide they want better for themselves they will pitch Moscow Mitch to the ditch in 2020 and he need not concern himself anymore with the filibuster.
senatemajldr hello Pot, meet the Kettle
Getting scared—Mitch now supports masks. senatemajldr wore his upside down!
How about senatemajldr shuts the hell up. He should be the last person giving that kind of advice.
Says the guy that nixed the filibuster for political appointees
When democrats gain control of the Senate they need to dump the filibuster and the 60% vote requirement to pass bills.....That's the only way to accomplish anything.
Says the party in control... Cute.
If he didn’t wake up tomorrow morning the better our country.
His warning came true before
Your lack of support for our black and brown population is disturbing
Pick one or add another: Pot calling the kettle black? What goes around comes around? Ok for me, not for you?
McConnell is kidding himself if he thinks that the Republican Party will be in control in our lifetime. They are done. Trump, his administration and their supporters have taken down the Republican Party for years if not decades to come.
and its important for you to remember, you wont be in control either..so maybe work together for a fucking change Mitch.
What does that mean? They may not be in charge? The only one who has been in charge in the senate is him and he is just someone there to be a road block.
or they might
Sounds to me the GOP plan to cheat
Oh look, senatemajldr just threatened America. What are we gonna do about it? VOTE HIS OLD TURTLE ASS OUT IN NOVEMBER!!!
Merritt Garland.
Yes, turtleman, tell us about honorable decorum
Don't worry Mitch. Dems are too scared and weak to actually do anything useful. They will bow down to you even if they win the senate.
After this asshole cheerfully crossing the Rubicon for his party’s agenda he has a lot of nerve expecting any respect from the other side.
How about we scrap Moscow Mitch. And send him packing
Shut up Mitch.
Earth to craven, manipulative turtle: a) your days as majority leader are done, b) you have no friends in the Democratic party, and c) no one cares what you think
Moscow Mitch = leader of the do nothing lemming Senate. Pathetic.
Ok but what if the Democrats nuked the filibuster, made PR and DC states, then passed comprehensive new voting rights laws? That series of actions would greatly limit the ability of the GOP to win working majorities in the Senate.
You're going down in November turtle boy.
Oh, the irony. Jackass.
Shut the hell up mitch
And Mitch ... we know for sure that you won't be in control at all. Dust that resume off big guy!
Traitor! Arrest him! Now!
The filibuster of today is part of the reason why our Congress is so ineffective.
Im sorry can someone please explain to me why this walking mass of evil who has no care for even his own constituents has won consistently for so long? Genuine question I’m so perplexed about this.
