1. :) If McConnell ever throws Trump under the bus,

they'll "interrupt local programming" to announce it. This looks to me like SOP CYA. But like hearing it anyway.

[Iliyah]

2. It took approx. 18 days to deny it?

[Brainfodder]

27. I had same thought, Moscow Mitch weighed his options, Blob went stupidity to 11 since, BAIL TIME?!?

"GET OVER IT"

[renate]

3. whenever Trump quotes someone else, HE IS LYING

Whenever he speaks, he's lying, but when he quotes someone else, he is TOTALLY lying.

"Some people say"
"They said, 'Sir,"..."

It's all bushwa.

[Perseus]

24. When he opens his mouth he is lying

He just can't stop.

[Moostache]

28. THIS x 1,000,000!

While some people talk in their sleep, Trump just keeps the stream of lies going in his sleep.

[dchill]

37. Perhaps Trump was quoting McConneranto!

[PJMcK]

41. I got that!

very cleveresperanto of you, dchill.

[dchill]

44. And delecto of you to notice!

[PJMcK]

46. Wait. Are you John Barron?

Okay, I'm done. Enjoy your evening.

[dchill]

48. (runs and hides)

[coti]

50. Yeah, this is a standard disinformation and self-delusion tactic for him

Usually, he says someone apologized to him or asked for forgiveness or to work for him or kissed his ass or made some kind of "greatest" or "worst"-type statement- he lies in this way all the time, even daily.

[Grasswire2]

4. someone has suggested turning this into a verb form. "to underbus"

McConnell underbussed Trump today.

[lunatica]

6. Good idea. We should just start using it.

That’s how New words are added to the language.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Very good-- let's help it get wings

[elias7]

11. I like it.

Trump was underbussed today, he’ll escape with a light trampling since a truly effective underbussment can not resonate in the dissonant mind...

[klook]

19. Rhymes with "blunderbuss,"

which the American Heritage Dictionary defines as either "A short musket of wide bore and flaring muzzle, formerly used to scatter shot at close range" or "A person regarded as clumsy and stupid."

[Submariner]

5. That must be Pierre's brother Mitch Delecto chiming in to stir the pot

[lunatica]

7. Naw. It's Mitch Defecto

Different sub species. Same tree though.

[MoonRiver]

9. Repukes are starting to realize that it is either him or them. eom

[ooky]

10. At this stage all normal people just assume that everything that comes out of Trump's

mouth is a lie. To actually believe the man is a sign of mental defect.

[Duppers]

54. So true!...

"To actually believe the man is a sign of mental defect."

[Cha]

12. Haha.. trump the gd LIAR

[spooky3]

14. Mitch could be lying too. nt

[coti]

51. Naw, it's Trump, this is what he does

Moscow Mitch just isn't playing along at this particular moment

[spooky3]

52. True but BOTH of them could be lying. I believe they

Did have a conversation (Mitch is lying that he doesn’t recall it) but that Mitch didn’t say what Trump said (Trump is lying).

[keithbvadu2]

13. Underbussing underbusing - spell check does not like either one

Underbussing underbusing - spell check does not like either one

Make it so!

[alfredo]

20. Bussing is kissing

[lastlib]

33. We need to add it to the DU dictionary....

...as well as personal machine dictionaries.

[Scruffy1]

15. Two liars.

This is a weasel respnse. Typical gangster like evasion. He didn't deny iy he was in on it just that he couldn't remember

[lastlib]

34. Hey! Leave weasels out of it! The Mustelidae family is HIGHLY offended by the comparison.

Weasels are noble beasts by comparison to the GOPher crowd. Maybe something invertebrate...?

[TeamPooka]

47. hahahahahahahahahaha

[True Blue American]

16. McConnell is bringing up the Resolution on Syria, stronger than

The House. He is speaking on CSPAN now!

[11 Bravo]

17. Screw a bus. I want the flabby shitstain under a fucking road grader.

[WheelWalker]

30. ... and after the road grader I want him under a steam roller.

[lastlib]

35. EEEEeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

EPA may have to Superfund that mess.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Expect a lot of "I don't recall" soon from large numbers of Trump-Republcan Party members. . . . nt

[Ford_Prefect]

21. I'll believe McConnell on this just as soon as Devin Nunes confirms it.

Moscow Mitch plays all sides and any angle that suits his Patrons. Try getting him to repeat it under oath 1st before you believe anything.

[patphil]

22. Trump never expects anyone to call him on any of this shit.

He lives in a fake reality where whatever he says is truth.
In actuality, it's almost always the opposite.
The most amazing thing is that Republicans let him get away with it time after time.
For McConnell to actually dispute Trump's words is really incredible.
Could there be a bus with Trump's name on it warming up in the parking lot?
Have the Republicans actually realized that they are even more screwed if they support him than if they cut him loose?
Do some Republicans actually love their country and have enough courage to defend the Republic?

We shall soon see.

[Moostache]

38. The sheeple / "base" / viewers do NOT see it this way...

They are 100% CONVINCED that Trump did nothing wrong in or at:

the 2016 campaign,
the 2017 inauguration,
the Mueller probe,
Helsinki,
Charlottesville,
Ukraine,
China,
Pussygate
Tax give aways of middle class future to uber rich now

Those are some lost ass people...

[patphil]

53. Yeah, I know this. It's kinda sad to be an American at this time and know

that so many other so-called Americans think Trump is a great president.
How can they have so little love in their hearts?
How can they embrace hatred so easily and so completely?
How can they have so little regard for truth?
These people have lost more than their ass.

[Nasruddin]

23. Keeping the story straight

Must be a really difficult thing for these snakes

[PragmaticLiberal]

25. Damn..

[tclambert]

26. Chief Brody says, "You're gonna need a bigger bus."

[yellowcanine]

29. Is that the Impeachment Bus or the Impeach and Remove Bus?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[BootinUp]

31. I can't get too excited about it. Nt

[NCLefty]

32. "I don't recall." Zzz

[CatWoman]

36. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[Hassler]

39. The polling for Moscow Mitch's re-election must be awful

[Captain Zero]

40. McConnell: "I don't recall any conversations..."

[flibbitygiblets]

42. That was a pretty weak "throw". More of a CYA.

Throwing someone under the bus is saying

"That criminal I posed for a picture with? I don't know him! You'll have to talk to Rudy."

or

"It was a perfect phone call. By the way, Mike Pence called him too, you should ask Mike about that."

[Marcuse]

43. The Moscow Mitch bus started rolling on September 24.

[link:https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/462828-mcconnell-i-was-not-given-an-explanation-for-ukraine-aid-delay|

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he was not provided an explanation for why the Trump administration held up aid to Ukraine when he pressed senior officials on the matter over the summer.

"I was not given an explanation," McConnell told reporters Tuesday as the congressional furor grew over President Trump’s interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

McConnell said he spoke to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo twice about the matter without receiving clarification for the delay in $391 million in aid to Ukraine.

[TNNurse]

45. When it comes down to it, Mitch will take care of Mitch.

49. A turtle pitching a orange blob under a bus.

Lol.
