He personally, single-handedly broke the US Senate. Used to be the "world's most deliberative body".

Not since Mitch began trashing it when Obama was elected.

I want him to go down hard.

but I think of McTurtle as a dorky kid that constantly got the snot kicked out of him and his lunch money stolen - and he didn't like it!
So much so that he made up his mind that he was gonna' get back at all of those bullies and become one himself.
The thing that pisses me off MOST about McTurtle is the bullshit that he pulled regarding the Supreme Court that was stolen from President Obama. Mind you, that's only the thing that MOST pisses me off - there's tons more, but that in itself is enough for me to wish that yes, he WOULD get to go to jail - and all of the old bullies would get their turn with him one more time!!

GET OUT THE VOTE - he's gotta' go!!!!!

How far will these investigations go? I'm sure spouses were aware in some instances. This could keep the prison system pretty full for awhile.

I bet it was adapted from a much earlier quote, probably early 1800's. It surely fits this awful person. I'm not religious, but I hope he breaks out in sores.

We have bigger problems than Trump. That ghoul should not have even been considered. He is merely a symptom of a disease running rampant in our country.

Pressuring him to resign or being impeached is imperative. He can't recover from this!

McConnell's lust for wealth completely obliterated any inclination he ever had to do good for anybody.

He works at the behest of the super wealthy. Nobody else really exists in his world, except at election time when he goes out and acts all folksy for the masses. It's a shame the Kentucky voters buy into this. But they do. And now we are where we are with the most corrupt administration in history, an illegitimate President and a Supreme Court that is primed to screw 98% of America.

My favorite McConnell quote is "We will do what we want."

Yep.

The two things that pissed me off more than anything else were his express statement that his number one priority was to make Obama a one-term president and his creation from whole cloth of a bullshit principle that a lame duck president's nominee to fill a Supreme Court vacancy was not to be passed upon by the Senate.

I hope that when his time comes he rots in hell.

It wasn't. Without access to his military records, the court martial for sodomy will be unconfirmed.
