    1. Because it cuts into his tax refunds slated for his billionaires he works for. They come before suffering Americans

    1. southern whites:” we’re struggling and broke!!! We need help!
      mitch: you wont get a dime from me!! but hey…. “whiteness!!”
      southern whites: he has my vote!!!

    1. McConnell wouldn’t have that power if the establishment DemocRATS in the DNC hadn’t failed so miserably in their leadership. Rewind to 2016 when Queen Hillary siphoned off funds from downline Dem. candidates to fund her own coronation, then losing to the maniac she helped to win the GOP nomination. This is political Karma at work. Hopefully, the RepubliKKKland will succeed in self destructing and in losing both senate seats in Georgia. This nation is in a world of hurt.

    2. His power comes from being Majority Leader in the Senate. IF Democrats win two senate seats in Georgia next week he will no longer have that power. Kamala Harris will be President of the Senate and once the two parties have an equal number of members she will have the tie-breaking vote ending McConnell’s control of the Senate.
      On the other hand, Kentuckians could stop re-electing that Stony-Hearted Testudines, That is unlikely. He has been their go-to guy for five terms and counting.
      On the Bright Side he IS 78 so he will probably croak before too long.

    3. @Cassandra Morrison Let us also remember that Progressive Charles Booker was outpolling McConnel in the Bluegrass State. But blocking him, counting ballots behind closed doors, and installing DINO Amy McGrath was more important to the DNC than unseating McConnell.

    1. MITCH CHANGED MY mind. I’m voting for the democrats in Senate run off. I’m in Georgia & I see we need Democrats so we can get our money. I’m done with Republicans.

    1. Here’s my take on all of this BS: The Congress will not sustain or mirror the acts of the House because they have no spine. That will happen. I have no faith in Congress to do what is right for the American people. Period. I predict that this is what will happen. Our only option is to remove these maggots and get people in place who will help us who are on the edge of the cliff. Bet me. Nothing will change. It’s what #45 desires, and they will lick hard at his boots.

    2. Yes . I’m joining the democrats. We need our money. REPUBLICANS are rich get richer & poor get poorer. I’m done with the Republicans.

    3. @James Lakess And the Corporate Democrats as well as Republicans that take huge “Donations” from wealthy Corporations and Individuals, legalised Bribery. They look after their masters (Donors ) interests rather than the Nation or the people

  1. Tim, you need to do something about McConnell. That guy is single-handedly hurting America. Why are you letting him do that???

    1. I’ll do what I can! Sorry I didn’t realize it was on me to fix this crap! But now that I know, I’m on it! You can count on me!

  2. McConnell needs to be removed from his post. He only takes care of the rich and corporations. We need Senators that care about the people.

  3. This whole system is BS. House passed the Bill then send it to Senate where SOB Mitch throw it in the Garbage. A Devil from one State has all the power in the Senate.

    1. @Sun Dial Rather vote with Dems over Republcan’s. Republcan’s only look out for self over the American People. You have money to vote Republcan. Because if you don’t they won’t look out for you! It’s every man for himself/herself and God for us all.

    2. @Wonder Wonderful
      No..i’m penniless and homeless living in a shelter…but i will vote ❤ here in Georgia as i dont want Communism in America…😁

    3. I’m embarrassed I voted for Trump now. I’m in Georgia. I’ll be voting for those democrats for Senate runoff. NEVER will I vote for another Republican. Hope I’m welcome in the democrat party. I’m done with Republicans.

  4. Mc Connel and Barausso need to go, keep them out, there not helping the american people, McConnel from Kentucky, Barsusso from Wyoming.

    1. McConnell was just reelected for 6 more years…! If you wanna take his unjustifiably large power away from him, get active in Georgia.

  5. TIME TO STOP MITCH MC CONNELLS HOLD OVER THE SENATE ! VOTE JON OSSOFF & REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK & HELP SAVE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT TOO.

    1. @Eric Graham Get out of here with that BS. You literally don’t know enough about the world if that’s your argument. Where have you been? What work? What “good” jobs? Seriously, get in touch with reality.

    2. @Eric Graham I rather not be a victim , nor victimized. Not sure where you got that assumption from. Moving along…

  6. That’s exactly why Trump vetoed that defense bill. He’s got plenty to hide just like his taxes. He don’t want that can of worms opened up.

    1. That would be GREAT, then Biden would pick Merrick Garland for AG! How many Republican’s Heads would EXPLODE!! Oh, happy day it would be!!
