Give me one good reason I shouldn't believe Mitch McConnell

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has raised the possibility of a nationwide abortion ban if his Republicans gain control of government, but he promises that — pinky swear! — “I will never support smashing the legislative filibuster on this issue or any other.”

And I totally believe him! I’ve always believed Mitch McConnell.

I believed the Kentucky Republican when he said in 2016 that an election-year Supreme Court vacancy “should not be filled until we have a new president” — before he filled a Supreme Court vacancy eight days before the 2020 presidential election.

I believed him when he excoriated Democrats in 2013 for “breaking the rules” and using the “nuclear option” to eliminate the filibuster for lower-court nominees — before he broke the rules and used the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees in 2017.

1. At the same time if they're saying it should be left up to the states

2. Moscow Mitch will always say and do what he thinks will advance his power.

His only core belief is power.

3. True, but his 'power' is a fantasy even as we all let it become reality.

Every single Democrat should, once he gets within line of sight or earshot, should start laughing hysterically and pointing at that turtle. Every time he shows his squinted gaze outside of his house or office. Just laugh at him. He cannot abide that and he will melt down and show his true colors. I wish we could get it that we should be doing this to all of the rethugs. Being ridiculed is far too much of an insult to them. They feel we should be bowing to them. To laugh at them just for appearing shows just how stupid we think they are. And, we really need to start showing that more publicly.
