.MaddowBlog: As the debate over how the Senate operates intensifies, Mitch McConnell seems unusually rattled.

Then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., speaks to reporters on March 10, 2020, in Washington.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has heard the talk in Democratic circles about reforming filibuster rules and returning the Senate to a majority-rule institution. In fact, he's heard so much of this chatter that the Kentucky Republican spoke on the Senate floor yesterdaywith dire consequences should they execute the so-called"nuclear option.

The GOP leader added that his party would proceed to take advantage of the proposed reforms, imposing"all kinds of conservative policies" on the United States"with zero input" from a future Democratic minority. McConnell's threatened agenda would include anti-union measures, defunding Planned Parenthood, expansive oil drilling, and new anti-abortion laws.

We know, for example, that in recent years, Democratic and Republican Senate majorities exercised the"nuclear option" -- to confirm cabinet nominees and judicial nominations -- and while the moves were controversial, no"nuclear winter" followed. It makes yesterday's chest-thumping appear hollow. To be sure, McConnell's far-right policy vision likely struck Democrats as unappealing. But what the GOP leader didn't mention is that those ideas are widely unpopular -- I suspect Democratic ad-makers were glad to see yesterday's speech -- and Democrats already have reason to fear that those same regressive ideas will be imposed on the nation anyway thanks to state governments and a Trumpified federal judiciary.

MaddowBlog He’s losing his power base— like the wicked witch of the east....Oh my beautiful power.... I’m dyyyiiinng

MaddowBlog it’s not like anything gets done now. It’s so partisan. Is he afraid that he won’t keep control of the fake senate?

MaddowBlog Ditch ..Mitch..put him out go pasture

MaddowBlog Yes just like you all said that he was “rattled” cuz he was going to loose his senate seat 😂

MaddowBlog Mitch trying desperately to be relevant.

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Imagine going to work and refusing to do your job. Republicans are doing just that. They are there to work for the people and refusing to do anything other than object to doing their job is reason for firing at any work place. Wake up America and vote these lazy individuals out

MaddowBlog LeaderMcConnell .. you already did the worst , putting in place judges tha are not qualified and blocking reforms for blacks , browns and immigration .. you dug our grave with your ambition and selfishness .

MaddowBlog HE is uncomfortable well absolutely against democrats having control of senate and the country-his right wing politics are seen as the only ! politics allowed to be promoted-- GOP is morphing into a right wing terrorist organization pushing the Putin theme to END DEMOCRACY

MaddowBlog Oldschool redneck 💯👎👎👎

MaddowBlog Typical LeaderMcConnell throws tantrums if he does not get his way. His definition of bipartisanship is support my agenda, compromise your principles EndTheFilibusterNow

MaddowBlog How can you tell? His expression never changes. Like a zombie

MaddowBlog What Mitch is doing is nothing new. Republicans have been burning down Congress since Reagan. Reagan and North literally committed treason during the Iran-Contra affair and now North leads the NRA. Republicans are not patriots. They want to destroy America for their own gains.

MaddowBlog He is a SORE LOSER!!! He described himself as the GRIM REAPER who would make sure NO BILLS WOULD PASS TO HELP THE PEOPLE!!!! and laughed about it!!! Now he can’t stop PROGRESS so he throws a tantrum and is making empty threats!!!

MaddowBlog OF COURSE HE'S RATTLED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME,HE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SENATE.

MaddowBlog Relax everybody, that’s his normal face!

MaddowBlog He should be because the truth from the Attorney General is starting to come out!

MaddowBlog Karma is at his door. Boy he’s gonna shit himself when it kicks the door in.

MaddowBlog It’s well past time for that old man to retire.

MaddowBlog Fake news

MaddowBlog It's just the taste of his medicine! He coddled the former guy until he told the truth about him ONE TIME for Jan 6th! But he managed to recant the TRUTH in favor of the BIG LIE soon thereafter. Give him more doses of his own medicine!! Teach the value of ethics & democracy!

MaddowBlog Would you trust a legislative plan or your future to this Mitch? Not earning his salary nor perks!

MaddowBlog Because if the voting rights bill is passed republicans are screwed.

MaddowBlog They also said it was not good to appoint a court justice at end of a POTUS term. They did it anyway. Latest supreme! Because 1. They had to for Trashy Trump. 2. Scared no spine ass holes!

MaddowBlog Who cares about a barrier that is blocking bills that are only meant to provided for the livelihood of the American people. Why is the GOP so driven to be against the American People? WHY?

MaddowBlog He would do it if he had the opportunity!! What it takes to get his way. Time to move on!

MaddowBlog If you’ve been watching the Senate for the last decade the one thing McConnell never gets, is rattled. You journalists might want people to think he is, or think you’re putting pressure on him, but the guy just doesn’t rattle. Like him or hate him.

MaddowBlog Let Howdy Doody cry. It means Dems are on the right path.

MaddowBlog Scorched earth sounds like what Russia would say n a declaration of war against America. Is Mitch declaring war against America a during a pandemic. He’s lived off taxpayers for years & now during time of extreme crisis, he gives nothing back to taxpayers except wickedness & evil

MaddowBlog He is upset because of 1 fact he is not majority leader any longer he cant handle the truth..

MaddowBlog Mitch and his wife are as deceitful as Trump. They both are Ruthless.See Ky what you have done?You should ask What has Mitch Done for you lately? Not a damn thing. You are bottomon all things in your State for your good-Health, Education and Pay. Do not re-elect Lying Rand Paul.

MaddowBlog For years Mitch McConnell has been derelict in the duties of bringing legislation to the floor of the Senate. He has refused to work for the American people, he has put his personal agenda and that of party before the country. It's time for change.

MaddowBlog Mitch McConnell is a pathetic disgusting looking Grand Lizard of the Klan. He’s for anything evil & n opposition 2 what’s right for Americans because he relishes power, greed, anarchy, insurrections & corruption. U know, those conservative values he holds so deep. Mitch is scum

MaddowBlog Good, he should be .

MaddowBlog Just wait till his wife is indicted...

MaddowBlog People who are paying attention are sick & tired of Congress not moving forward on the serious issues at hand. The fighting has to stop, the manipulation & lies must be curtailed. The country, the people, the whole planet needs to heal.

MaddowBlog Minority LeaderMcConnell's neck is a fucking nightmare.

MaddowBlog We are such a non- progressive nation without even realizing it. How can our government not understand this is about the people & not their egos. Why is it so hard to find a compromise? It’s so ghetto here

MaddowBlog Mitch McGollum is losing his preciousssss

MaddowBlog Mr. McConnell is whining uselessly from that corner he backed himself into by denying a vote on Merrick Garland.

MaddowBlog Mitch McConnell has operated in bad faith for over a decade now. It's best to end the filibuster and take the bite out of him once and for all. We have about 2 years to make sure the GOP can no longer disenfranchise, gerrymander, and obstruct voters.

MaddowBlog Blacks voted for Biden & Dems at around 90% clip. They're responsible for Dems taking back the WH & Senate. Yet Black follk r not specifically mentioned in Biden's priorities Other words, Biden's giving Black voters short shift & ignoring their needs & agenda. That's got to end!

MaddowBlog McConnell's 'pitch is burdened by a circular, self-defeating msg: his core argument is that if Democrats try to pass legislation, he'll make it more difficult to pass legislation, so they should simply be satisfied doing nothing, or he'll take steps to make sure they do nothing.'

MaddowBlog He's been doing that already for many, many years

MaddowBlog Moscow Mitch and his wife had stolen enough for several lifetimes from the government what does he have to worry about? Other than the Truth coming Out!

MaddowBlog Mr. Evil rides again!

MaddowBlog Worst person that ever happened to the U.S. Senate.

MaddowBlog MoscowMitch

MaddowBlog It does NOT matter.

MaddowBlog Eliminating the filibuster, the last way the opposition, that represents almost half of US voters, can have any influence on legislation is an anti democracy measure, converting the US into a dictatorship of the majority. The Democrats should beware of such a double edge sword.

MaddowBlog Someone please tell him to stop making that face. It is unbecoming and makes him look really bad. Wait.. he is bad. Look out for people who will screw you.

MaddowBlog Can’t help but hear the chicken dance song when I see his face.

MaddowBlog Here is what you do, You stand up and say, ' If the Rep party wants to separate from your country and go on their own, your welcome to do so ' A Country can never be a UNITED one when there are 2 Polar Opposites. The other will never get up the next day liking the other?

MaddowBlog Good to know he realizes he is being taken down, he should be “rattled”.

MaddowBlog Interesting you guys are still giving him ink. He's done. The investigations will take him and his corrupt family away soon.

MaddowBlog Good that means the Democrats are on the right path.

MaddowBlog No he doesn't

MaddowBlog The Grand Old Party, founded in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin, is now dead.

MaddowBlog Moscow Mitch is on his Last turf! Time to bring changes to help Americans and not just rich White donors!

MaddowBlog Well, that’s because Joe Biden is whooping his A$$ like a school girl... and he’s not used to that.

MaddowBlog Maybe this has something to do with it too 🤔

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Goodness he has got to be the man version of a Chinese char pei, but McConnell is not the cute and cuddly kind just the saggy skin kind!

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog He needs to resign NOW!

MaddowBlog Hearing the 'scorched earth' prophecy one must wonder why he is not called out for threatening fellow Senators, the government, the Constitution, election results, and worse of all the American people. This posture is what caused 1/6. Keep power no matter the consequences.

MaddowBlog Does he, really?

MaddowBlog McConnell must go

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog It is time to start a Scorched earth policy against the gop HouseGOP SenateGOP it is Ike to shutdown the Republican Party until they want to play nice .

MaddowBlog The GOP has already made the governing of our nations a scorched earth process of unknown proportions. The GOP is suspected by many to have given into the notions of a shadow government while their leader is in exile. Shameful!!

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Helen Of Troy's face launched a Thousand Ships, with that look McConnell always has on his face he would have sunk them..

MaddowBlog Hes a huge P.O.S. Shame on Kentucky.

MaddowBlog Roll into your turtle shell we will wait

MaddowBlog The old entrenched men (and women- Susan Collins) in Congress must go! They will not allow themselves to grow and change with the world. Why are these old retirement age people continuing to do work they’ve clearly loss commitment to.

MaddowBlog Let me reiterate what I know. After hearing Trump on Fox Tabloid it only proves that if Trump isn’t removed and incarcerated to a place like Guantanamo the violence will go on and the Country will not heal and if these Senators continue his lies they must be removed from office!

MaddowBlog Good

MaddowBlog How can you tell?

MaddowBlog Dick!

MaddowBlog Because it's clear poverty in America is a political choice

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog He's not running things anymore and it's getting to him

bluflowergarden MaddowBlog We all need to rattle that Fkr til the candy comes out. MoscowMitch

MaddowBlog Maybe the sudden withdrawal of Russian funding for Deripaska's Kentucky aluminum plant has something to do with Mitch's bad mood lately? maddow MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog It’s time democratic. To pass the HR1&HR4 and John Lewis bill Now it’s up to you Democratic. We voters did our job now do yours ossoff KJP46 POTUS WhipClyburn SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi SenatorSinema Sen_JoeManchin ReverendWarnock VP JoeBiden TrueStory

MaddowBlog I love to see him rattled.

MaddowBlog McConnell isn't worried. Manchin says he's upholding the 60 vote threshold. If we want reform we'll need to flip Senate seats in less conservative states in the midterms, which will be difficult but not impossible.

MaddowBlog McConnellPublicEnemyONE

MaddowBlog McConnellHatesAmerica

MaddowBlog Bitch McConnell, if you keep hitting a dog with a stick eventually it's going to bite you. I've been saying this all along, they thought they were winning the last 2 years, but they've gone so far right, the left has no option but to go nuclear to fix the mess - inevitable.

MaddowBlog McConnell is at the end of his life. He will never live to see another Senate GOP majority. Under his leadership the senate became a place where Bills went to die. McConnell cost Trump the presidency because of his inaction. Republicans would be better served by another leader

MaddowBlog I am so tired of this mans face.

MaddowBlog I see you and Jen made your modeling debut

MaddowBlog Is it me or does mitch look like someone passed gas, and who are the stiffs behind him?

MaddowBlog Oh the shade of this pic! Mitch tryin to enjoy some sour patch kids and you post it.

MaddowBlog His evilness is oozing out on a daily basis.

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Mitch McGobble

MaddowBlog Last session, McConnell blocked over 300 bills/resolutions passed in the house including a resolution calling out anti Asian rhectoric

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog No he doesn't matter. Move on.

MaddowBlog I will be glad when I never have to look at photos of that face again.

MaddowBlog I think he realizes that if voting rights are strengthened it’s game-over.

MaddowBlog As he should be ...

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog What’s with these terms scorched earth and nuclear crap in the senate from this ass hat ?

Smp7665 MaddowBlog He’s pressed the panic button. Karma has him in her sites and he knows it. Nothing and no one gets away with forever.

MaddowBlog 🤷‍♂️

MaddowBlog He knows even though Schumer doesn’t seem to understand— that a Republican Senate needs a Republican House and Republican president to get anything done—and THAT won’t happen if Democrats pass voting rights legislation So come on Dems-think that through and kill the filibuster!

MaddowBlog Good morning everyone 😚Gonna make your morning good 😁 First 10 people to comment the number that doesn’t fit in the picture receive their rewards. After typing that, make sure you retweet and follow me okay. GoodMewning goodmorning creditcard BiggerRewards

MaddowBlog GOP voters are minority in US Vast majority of people don’t agree with their policies so instead of changing policies to represent their jurisdictions, they want to change the rules of the game; voter suppression, filibuster, gerrymandering etc

MaddowBlog I say to Mitch it is time to go take a nap. Let McCarthy do the scorching. Just saying...☣ You are all the same anyway.

MaddowBlog Love that they are beating him at his own game and rendering him as obsolete & ineffective.

MaddowBlog How many bills did he kill as grim reaper of legislation? Not sure we’d notice a difference assuming he can be effective in his threats

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog 'MOSCOW MITCH' IS A WORN OUT OLD 'WHITE GUY' WHO NEEDS TO GET GONE. SOMEONE SHOW HIM WHERE HE NEEDS TO GO - - 🔥🔥🔥🐍🔥🔥🔥

MaddowBlog TalkingFilibuster or not at all.

MaddowBlog I have some advice for chuckschumer .. tell Mitch LeaderMcConnell to sit down and STFU..I’m running the Senate now..you’re yesterday’s news.

MaddowBlog Turtleman needs to be sent down permanently!

MaddowBlog mitchthecriminal

MaddowBlog And what is your excuse RACHEL

MaddowBlog How can you tell if a turtle is in state of distress?

MaddowBlog So, if McConnell’s minority voting rights in the Senate aren’t protected, he won’t be able to take away minorities’ voting rights in elections? So, is the former or the latter a problem?

MaddowBlog Who cares. I want the Dems to go all in

MaddowBlog If they couldn't get rid of Obamacare or make abortions illegal with control or both sides of congress and the Presidency , I doubt Mitch's threats have any teeth.

MaddowBlog Who ever smelt it dealt.

MaddowBlog I'd call his bluff...let MoscowMitch show his hand, then explain to America why Republicans are holding up things like turning on the lights.

MaddowBlog America can not allow Moscow Mitch to veto meaningful legislation with his single vote using the filibuster. The entire Senate must have the opportunity to participate.

MaddowBlog ...i tend to believe his leadership is being challenged...

MaddowBlog LeaderMcConnell can eat ass, Dems should do whatever they want, he will

MaddowBlog Disgusting POS!

MaddowBlog The truth is - It doesn't matter what Mitch says because if the Democrats do nothing they will get nothing passed if they do something they might get something passed.

MaddowBlog But, he stood on the senate floor and said what the senate did to Obama is pets play compared to what will happen to DEMS if they mess with the filibuster. Admits his racism, his deliberate shenanigans toward Obama/Americans. What arrogance. What privilege. What evil. 😔

MaddowBlog McConnell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

MaddowBlog Empty threats. What can he do that's worse than what he's already doing.

MaddowBlog 🔥🐢🔥🐢🔥🐢🔥🐢

MaddowBlog Ohhhhhh that face

MaddowBlog Cara de panocha Resurada

MaddowBlog That’s a rattled face?

MaddowBlog The Dems are finally get used to being in the Majority, and he’s worried.

MaddowBlog He’s already killed the Senate. Who cares if the filibuster is gone. America operated just fine before its inception. Besides I think 🤔 once Americans see what Democrats pass into law & what Republicans pass into law: Democrats will eventually win all of government

MaddowBlog It doesn't matter, he has no power. We have already seen what a scorched earth Senate will look like. We saw it during the Obama years. McConnel just wants to scare dems and hope to limit any success they can have over the next 2 years.

MaddowBlog No, he doesn’t.

MaddowBlog Good

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog This is a direct threat. Talking about the gridlock of the Obama era that HE engineered and threatening to literally destroy the government. Mitch is evil.

MaddowBlog Does anyone believe for a moment that, should Mcconnell become majority leader again, he would not hesitate to blow the filibuster to pieces and his caucus would follow in total lock step?

MaddowBlog McConnell is mad because no matter what he is about to do he knows he is going to get what he has been giving the Democrats for the past 2 decades. He is old and untill he gets voted out of office there will never be Bipartisan in the Senate.

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Likely, the only one who could keep Mitch in order was Senator Robert Byrd; Byrd had just as intimate understanding of Senate rules as Mitch

MaddowBlog He should quit then.

MaddowBlog He’s losing his grip on power. And it’s long overdue

MaddowBlog Isn't that wonderful.

MaddowBlog What's he going to do leave another 500 bills on his desk for for 4 more years.

MaddowBlog As he should be

MaddowBlog DougJBalloon

MaddowBlog He has no more control and it’s killing him

MaddowBlog MoscowMitch is SCARED!!!!!!!!!

MaddowBlog Does he ever smile?

MaddowBlog Too old. Kick his bun to the streets!

MaddowBlog Let’s pass laws that make it easier for people to legally vote and encourage them. That’ll make republicans so mad, people voting

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Does he have any other reaction?

MaddowBlog Good. I like seeing McConnell on his heels...

MaddowBlog I blame every GOP member for the violence today. Trump’s rhetoric that they supported gave radicals permission to commit violence. They lied about the election, lied about Mexico paying for the wall, lied about covid, spread Russia’s propaganda. THEY’RE A COMPROMISED PARTY!

MaddowBlog the more out of touch the public become ..Awh the more deaf ears

MaddowBlog Being a minority leader seems unsettling for him....lmao

MaddowBlog Will be the end of democracy as we know it.

MaddowBlog He wants his power back

MaddowBlog Turtle boy will rue the day he rued the day!

MaddowBlog Cause he knows if the filibuster ends so does his time in office

MaddowBlog President Joe and two woman out smart him!

MaddowBlog He’s mad he got demoted. He’s a cry baby with a vengeance.

MaddowBlog F them

MaddowBlog I'm like an Insurance company, I'm betting McConnell won't even be around to see the GOP back in power.. His Chinese wife has thought him to live for tomorrow... I'm American, after Jan 6th, tomorrows not guaranteed. Carpe diem

MaddowBlog For the first time in 4 years the senate is doing something other than conspiring against a sitting President. Are the American people supposed to just forget about that? It is time for term limits at every level of politics. Life long politicians are an anchor for our country!

MaddowBlog Mitch is a jerk that want to keep his power and threatening is his way of trying to do that! I hope the Democrats do not listen to his threats.

MaddowBlog Executive orders it is then

MaddowBlog If Repubs are going to block when in the minority & block when they’re in the majority, Dems have absolutely nothing to lose by ending filibuster. Senate just may fall back into Repub hands in 2022, but the POTUS will still be a Dem and can veto legislation. Grow a spine, Dems!

MaddowBlog Cold War veteran here recognizes when an operative is completely compromised. The GOP is fully on board with working for Russia since it’s the only alternative left to them. The Republican Party is fully compromised.

MaddowBlog That's exactly the reason to blow up that filibuster!

MaddowBlog that's a good thing

MaddowBlog Obviously abolishing the filibuster is the best way of clipping McConnell’s wings and bringing him back down to earth. Joe Manchin is the only democrat protecting the filibuster that protects republicans. This must end.

MaddowBlog McConnell needs to be reminded in public and to his face that he has already practiced scorched earth tactics. He temporarily suspended the filibuster to get 2 Supreme Court Justices affirmed by less than 60 votes each. Are the Dems truly afraid of Republicans and TrumPets?

MaddowBlog He's adjusting to being the minority leader. I don't really understand how he ever got a title like 'leader'. Minority grifter was more like it.

MaddowBlog What an A-hole. What about working for and serving the interests of American people? Isn’t that why you’re all there? But no, he’d rather burn the place down because things aren’t going his way. Rude and childish if you ask me.

MaddowBlog Isn't his wife being investigated yet? Probably just a bit jumpier than usual.

MaddowBlog Rattle Mitch some more. Paybacks for years of blocking and denying bills to reach the Senate floor and be voted on. NastyOldMan MuzzleMitch GoDemocrats

MaddowBlog Evil through and through

MaddowBlog It’s because he’s trying to have it both ways and he’s busted and cornered with his own BS.

MaddowBlog AKK “Please don’t take away my power!”

MaddowBlog Mitch only likes it when he exploits the rules.

MaddowBlog Fantastic. I hope he forgot to take all his meds.

MaddowBlog Mitch is the epitome of entitlement and gosh, things just aren't going his way? Too bad. Go cry w/Trump, moral adults are at the helm again. Get used to it.

MaddowBlog Since the Democrats HouseDemocrats SenateDems were in scorched earth mode throughout the Trump presidency...

MaddowBlog MoscowMitchMcTraitor

MaddowBlog Can’t stand this wimp of a man

MaddowBlog The ACA is the exact reason simple majority cannot happen. They tried and royally fucked it up. Cant let either party have absolute power. It’s a disaster.

MaddowBlog McConnell’s recent legacy was knowingly built on the foundation of an illegitimate President. The intelligence reports have been released and now the world knows, what he has known as he treasonously thwarted and dismantled the constitution at every turn. He should be rattled.

MaddowBlog GOPLiesAboutEverything

MaddowBlog Anybody heard ANY Republican fighting for AMERICANS' CIVIL RIGHTS? Or Infrastructure. Or Raising the Minimum Wage? Or making Healthcare More Accessible and Affordable? Or making out Tax System FAIR? ME, NEITHER!

MaddowBlog Strange threat from a position of weakness. -- If you do this, my previous abuse will look like child's play!! That dandelion I left? IMMA SCORCH IT!!!! -- If this gets done you will never get the chance evil turtle!!! /shakesfist

MaddowBlog So an old white dude son of the confederacy invokes all-out war rhetoric, threatening to choke the entire country with a legislative Sherman-like march to the sea. If there are such creatures as domestic enemies of the republic they'd probably sound a lot like McConnell.

MaddowBlog I wish to live long enough to piss on his grave

MaddowBlog Good!!

MaddowBlog Exactly how a bully reacts when the victim fights back....sucks don’t it....😈

MaddowBlog I say bring it on

MaddowBlog That hypocrite.

MaddowBlog Let's be clear, the folks that are nervous would be ALL Americans that care about our democracy and the Constitution. This Republican Party, aka the Jim Crow Party, has a 40+ state effort to restrict and suppress the ability of primarily black and brown folk to vote! Dred-Scott

MaddowBlog Good. The only way Democratic Leaders are going to make any progress is to take a page out of McConnell’s book, step over him, and keep moving forward. Democrats need to make good of the powers they currently have while they have them.

MaddowBlog Wont matter once he retires.

MaddowBlog Mitch McConnell is a rattled snake 🐍

MaddowBlog Rattled, you say.

MaddowBlog When ‘scorched earth’ is the GOP policy it looses value as a threat.

MaddowBlog Good. It's about time something 'rattled' MoscowMitch .

MaddowBlog MoscowMitch

MaddowBlog Hey LeaderMcConnell, do me a favor and remember this!

MaddowBlog PSA: Scorch McConnell's Earth.

MaddowBlog Dude is LITERALLY BEGGING for SenateDems to kill the filibuster, now!!!
