    This is the GOPs final farewell to Mitch. He loved rat fucking more than anything. Pretending he’s not dead or at least braindead to avoid a Democrat governor from having their legal say is exactly what he’d want.

    A legacy of stealing the football and going home.

      The GOP don’t want him out either. Forget the special election, McConnell is on the appropriations committee and without him they don’t have the majority they need to pass certain things. GOP wants him back just as much if not more.

      It is entirely fitting that McConnell is fillibustering his own obituary.

        He’s not dead, but whatever happened he is 100% incapable of holding office.

        I mean this has been true for several decades, but it has never been more true.

          He’s been mostly incapable of holding office up until now. How many times have we watched him have a seizure in front of live TV and then his handlers just have to coax him gently offstage.

          Recently it looks like they’re toting around a wax figure on a wheelchair.
