  1. History isn’t kind to unprincipled politicians who have zero respect for the institutions and norms they inherited.

    1. misterjag – We’ll go ‘even further’.
      Those that work for #45 all too frequently find *themselves* infected with *his ‘communicable corruption’* …much like an ‘ethical STD’.
      ‘Humiliation’, ‘resignation’ (and frequently ‘incarceration’) are the *inevitable result* of comingling with #45. 🤨

    1. @Donald Trump and republiCONS are all in prison or going as felons. As well as unindicted co-conspirator Trump facing several felony investigations of SDNY.

    2. Jeff Woods just facts that’s all other countries don’t have this problem….yes guns at the problem in Texas and Chicago but mass casualties are the domain of the NRA led right wing providing access to military style weapons on our streets

    3. @TJ W – We’ve *already written* our nation’s new ‘tourism promo’… 📝
      “Ammo-merica – *Come* for the mass-shootings… *Stay* in our cemeteries!” 😒⚰👎

    1. @Jamie H i agree in general, but there are exceptions. every group has good and bad, there are just fewer good ones in the republican party.

    2. @mary jones Where are the good ones?! Cowering from trump? None of them will speak out.
      There are no good ones right now.

    3. @Emma Neilson there are a few, not nearly enough, but they are there. some have been in the house and senate but most of them have resigned or retired. it would have been better had they remained and fought trump from there but… and remember that trump’s base is said to be approximately 36% but i believe it is much lower. polls which show the breakdown of supporters by party show that he is not so popular with most of them now. they are waking up, albeit slowly, and 2020 will prove it.

  2. Why do people in Kentucky keep voting for Moscow Mitch. I wonder if there were multiple mass shootings in Kentucky if Moscow Mitch would still sit there and do nothing. Same thing if Russia was trying to swing our election to a Democrat I bet Moscow Mitch would do something

    1. @Eciruam Nottap Reverting sanctions put on people who attacked our democracy so that they can bring jobs to Kentucky (Moscow Mitch’s own state)! How ironic is that?

  3. Mitch has done more damage to the US than any other citizen on this planet. He is just stalling his actions with words. He is a TRAITOR!

    1. If you really feel that way then call him MOSCOW MITCH. He’s a repulsive MAGGOT.
      MAGGOT MITCH. MOSCOW MITCH. Pick one but at least spread the word.

    2. @marc marinacci – that a-hole needs to be innondated with these nasty insults one thousand times a day! He’s a liar and treasonous pig.

    1. @Jeremy Truitt lol you are funny what is that some new video game..son you ran into the right one now what you talking maybe 15 of them against me you know that’s the. Way they like to get down son you have no idea!!!

    2. Twas ever thus……the do nothing, see nothing, hear nothing republicants have ALWAYS served the interests of the wealthy…

    1. the Republican’s decision maker mitch McConnell the Harvard college speaker always looking to destroy American union workers across America. passing laws to destroy workers .and keeping peoples pay lowered. so him and his wife could reap the country of all its wealth. him and Paul Ryan been killing the labore movement
      and has pushed all of us back 30 years..thay have caused all that has happened threw out the years that contributed to what’s happening now.all that feel to stay the course. go for it.doing harm to labore will hurt the economy in the long run.trump and his administration will walk away being Scott free and more wealth than when he took office.

    2. What does it take for people to finally realize McConnell cannot do anything unless the Koch foundations give him permission.  If you notice McConnell is worried about losing the senate and is taking action now to limit democrats ability to reverse any John Birch advancements made with McConnell in charge of the senate.

    3. Beach Bum
      I guess you include Obama and the 2008 thru 2010 Democrat controlled congress who did nothing concerning gun control?

  4. McConnell’s legacy? Infamy. That’s it. He will go down as one of the most nefarious and corrupt elected official.

    1. @Ron Wuerch I saw that too on Ancient aliens. Don’t forget to wear a tinfoil hat or else they’ll get you by reading your mind.

    2. What does it take for people to finally realize McConnell cannot do anything unless the Koch foundations give him permission.  If you notice McConnell is worried about losing the senate and is taking action now to limit democrats ability to reverse any John Birch advancements made with McConnell in charge of the senate.

  5. Moscow Mitch will be remembered as a corrupt person. Nothing positive about his life will come to mind once he will be dead.

  6. Do you honestly think Moscow Mitch cares about anyone except himself and lining his own pockets with corrupt money?

    His endgame is to get richer no matter what.

  7. Sounds like you need to give a lot of air time to Lt. Col. Amy McGrath who is running against Moscow Mitch, he needs to go and she is a great replacement.

    1. Amber Horstmeier good point. Hey joe, don’t keep harping on the garbage, tell me about the sanitation worker who will clean up this stinking mess.
