McConnell:
"All we want is for Democrats to treat President Trump the way Republicans treated President Obama."
I saw a clip on TV today of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saying that.

(11,735 posts)To guarantee that he is a "one term president". These people have no sense of shame. Does he not know that we have these things called cameras and recording devices that capture your exact words and image? He fucking said that his goal was to block everything Obama did.

(42,700 posts)Earlier this month he said that the Democrats in the Senate should treat Trump's cabinet nominees the way Republicans treated Obama's nominees, which is a bit different than saying he wants Democrats to treat Trump the way repubs treated Obama.

(23,973 posts)...stupid as his constituents who keep re-electing him.
Do these idiots not know they are on record saying all the horrible things they have said over he last 8 years, or does he really believ his own BS?

(898 posts)Eventually possess absolute power. They want to:
Squeeze every last cent out of the middle class and the poor, to exploit them and then incarcerate them in the landfill of poverty, disease, despair and death.
They want the oligarchs to not only rule the economy, but to control the everyday mode of American life. The want control of the market place, the workplace, the schools, the offices and the bedroom.
They want to destroy public education and dumb down the general population.
They want to maintain social control using paramilitary thugs and theocratic radicals.
They want a 100% welfare state for the rich and the multi-national corporations, including destroying Social Security, Medicare, affordable health care the implementation of an unfair tax system that funnels all heath to the 0.01%.
They want the poor, the old, and the middle class to die early once they can no longer be exploited.
They want to deny freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and to destroy a free press.
They want to turn religion into the worship of a capitalist economy where good is defined by wealth and evil by poverty.
They want to destroy all government regulation that benefits or protects the working classes.
They want to control the bedroom and the bathroom.
They want you to like them while they destroy your lives and deny your children a happy and prosperous future.
They want to transform the Supreme Court into the Supreme Corporate Court .
They want to privatize social security so that Goldman Sachs and the vampire squid banks can use the trust fund as their casino chip piggybank.
They want to emasculate the bankruptcy system so that only the corporate welfare state is protected.
They want to sentence the old, the weak, the poor and the intelligentsia to the landfill of lost hope, ensuring that they die an early and joyless death.
They want to crush the young people, the students under a mountain of student debt.
They want endless war so they can profit off of the suffering and sacrifice of our youth.
And these things are only the beginning of their agenda. Wait until they get deadly serious - it will be ugly.
This is Old Vulture Mitche's wet dream.
