Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

... to the surprise of absolutely no-one.
What is it with all these spineless cowards exposing their bellies for the orange Fatman? Rafael Cruz's father was the zodiac killer and his wife was ugly, Turtle McConnell's wife got hit with racist slurs.
Looks like the gop were the ones with no principles all along. Just keep licking them boots boys! I'm sure they'll be a little more lubed when they enter your asses.
How anyone can look to them with hope and admiration is beyond me.
I thought he was dead or at least had had a stroke
Mitch McConnell died two months ago
Turtle spines are fused to their shells, they should never bend!
Or they are always bent....
One last middle finger to the rest of us as he's getting ushered out to pasture.
Mitch McConnell suffers from unexpected and debilitating system reboots on a regular basis, and he richly deserves it.
With what he has done, I hope he experiences a great deal of pain in his final days.
Bitch McConnell
McClownell.
trumps hat gets more askew all the time
I really don’t understand this bloke. He’s on his deathbed and wants Trump on his tombstone.
He has his estate and benefactors to think about...
Doesn't have a choice. I don't buy the idea that he's on death's door, I don't dare to hope anymore. I believe he was forced out as part of MAGAt's ongoing power struggle with the Republican Party. McConnell's leaving for the same reason that RNC leadership has received a shake-up; they weren't loyal enough to Trump.
He wants power for him and his buddies. That's all it has ever been about with him.
That is just more reason for me to make the pilgrimage to piss on his grave.
There should be a website with a signup list for reservations to piss on his grave that we can fill up and send him a link to before he dies.
Just start sending him calendar invites
I'd say we should piss on Trump's grave too, except I hear he's into that.
Moscow Mitch
Legitimately this
So reading the posted article but not whatever McConnell's handlers wrote for him in WaPo, this
It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States.
is not an endorsement, it's a statement of facts. The primary voters in the states that matter (you know, all the ones up to Super Tuesday) decided they wanted Trump for their nominee. That doesn't mean McConnell is happy about it (and if he is, maybe the New Republic article should have quoted that instead?)
I'm disgusted at my fellow Americans with this news and ashamed that so many would choose authoritarianism.
Anyone who didn't expect this and still thinks we can work with senate republicans isn't fit to be in office.
I'd rather not spend four more years watching geriatric Charlie Brown try to kick a football.
It's just elder abuse at this point, because he clearly can't remember what happened last time.
He can put on a brave face all he wants, he and the Republicans and Neoliberals of the Reagan era declared war on facts when they got in the way of corporate profit ('climate change is hoax for scientists to sell books herp derp'), indoctrinating tens of millions of hateful, conspiratorial lunatics to trust nothing except conservative media, until it became self sustaining, the monsters they created stopped trusting anything at all except their own stoked hatreds, and corporate Republicans like McConnell found their party power structure and even chambers being invaded by some of the ignorant hicks their con-game was meant to manipulate as their useful idiots, not scuffing the floors of his halls of sophisticated right-wing power.
Trump just instinctually saw the con-game, and stole it right out from under the old money corporate Republicans by turning their well honed dog whistles into screeching bullhorns.
I have no doubt McConnell feels shame in his retreat and endorsement of his power structure's thief, not because he ever cared about the country, its people, or the future, but because their long-meticulous con of the correct room of sophisticated people manipulating the peasants for their portfolio's interests was invaded, conquered, and broken by a small time crass baffoon who stole their con out from under them because, though he is a baffoon and an idiot, Trump does have innate, instinctual con-game that can't really be taught, and that includes recognizing other's grifts and making them his. If Trump weren't born to money, he'd be the top earner at whatever shady used car lot he eventually landed in.
Best laid plans, Mitch.
This mf spittin. Just a well written comment altogether 👏👏👏

Bitch McConnell
Russian asset

One last middle finger to the country before he rolls out
