    1. Mitch McConell can be powerless & somehow the timid Milquetoast Democrats will make him more powerful than them. BERNIE SANDERS IS THE REAL DEMOCRAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS MORE OF!!! #ThankYouBernie

    2. @Alaska Pirates Ok, if your default is an automatic insult without any other LOGICAL back & forth, what then does that say about YOUR intelligence?? I never called you a buffoon or anything, did I?? Nope. But anyway, what kind of cheating did he use?? I was seriously just asking because I was initially entertained by your comment about saying you think he cheated. But other than preprogramming an algorhythm or hacking an electric voting machine, OR the very old and obvious form of hand forging them on paper ballots… what other types of cheating would McConnell have used?? I don’t like McConnel either btw so I’m not really understanding this hostility at all dude. I was actually asking you a question without any sarcasm

  1. Isn’t it nice that the Senate *Minority* Leader Mitch McConnell can only *propose* an action, rather than unilaterally acting (with inaction)?

    1. How to prepare list for Donnie’s attorneys. #1. Find and destroy all video of Trump calling on supporters to trash the capitol.

    2. Yes, exactlyl! I’m so used to the power he used to have that I misread the title of this video as “Mitch McConnell DELAYS impeachment trial”; then I thought about it and re-read it.

    1. @Baja Malibu Surf Report well, technically he was impeached while he was an acting president. Tbh, I don’t know how this will play out given the circumstances. You can bet the democrats smell blood.

    2. @Baja Malibu Surf Report They can, and they have give an example in 1800’s, post-civil war era when they impeach the infamous President Ullyses Grant’s secretary of war eventough he already submit his resignation letters few hours before impeachment trial started.

    3. “GREAT” he and you Americans who “Thought” you could command this nation with force are going to own a JAIL cell… glad you’re staying!!!😂😅😂😅

  2. When Mitch was leader he did whatever he wanted, stalled so many bills, and did what was in the best interest of himself and his party…..no one should be listening to him now

    1. Your mentality is the issue with modern culture and politics. It’s conducive to have thoughtful disagreement but to simply disregard someone’s idea and not even consider it just because a certain person said it is foolish.

    2. @Mk101T Mitch McConnell could drop dead or decide to retire tomorrow I wouldnt care I am not emotionally invested in these politicians it’s a matter of principle Mitch didn’t listen to anyone when he was in charge so no one should listen to him now that he’s not in charge whether they decide to do confirmations first or the trial first doesn’t really matter to me whatever they decide to do mitch’s opinions shouldn’t hold weight when it’s time for the decisions to be made

    3. @Isaac lol your just deflecting because Mitch has a great point here. What do you think about this situation? Should the senate go through an impeachment hearing for a president not in office or instead cabinet approvals? They can’t do both simultaneously.

    1. @Grampa Genuity he’s a rightful convict who can’t hide like a coward behind executive privilege anymore.

    2. ​@James Andrews You are absolutely right! Pres. Biden has just called for Party Leaders, from both sides to meet with him. He is a No Nonsense type of man. I do believe that the Republicans have totally misread his determined convictions. They are confusing meekness with weakness, and boy are they in for a rude awakening!! Pres. Biden is Meek (having a Very Calm, Quiet Strength). Like OUR Former Pres. Teddy Roosevelt when he said, “speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” I have always admired people with this quality!

    3. @James Andrews If senate did not finish the impeachment trial, there are a good possibility that he and his family members will try to run as presidential candidate/or run for a position in the office on 2024. Of course, by considering that he still have considerable number cult member and the shadows of evil thing he has done on January 6th still lingers strongly, impeachment can ban him from running as president for the rest of his life. Like a cherry on top of the cake after endless of lawsuits that already awaits him will make him locked in prison for a considerable amout of time.

    1. @Norma Colon It’s a 1980’s slang word every american kid used on the playground… i.e. “She kicked me in the NADS !”

  3. Moscow Mitch still attempting to call the shots. Such a difference Mitch, to be a puppet begging, instead of being the puppet master.

  4. screw what Mitch wants, he spent the last 12 years denying everything he could that others wanted. Obstructionist supreme!

  5. I guess he is going to just stand by and wait centuries for the “free market” to magically take care of this issue, like they do with all the other issues.

    1. @Judy Florida The middle class is better off without low class communists and their leaders robbing us.🇺🇸

    1. @john cooley good question but it’s probably like asking which came first the chicken or the egg I think in a democracy both because of checks and balances
