Mitch McConnell's 'worst nightmare' is the parting gift he deserves
Sen. Mitch McConnell has done a lot for this country. Sorry. Make that to. He's done a lot to this country. Things like stealing two Supreme Court seats, creating the constant debt ceiling crisis, and surrendering his party to Donald Trump.
McConnell has promised to step down as Republican leader in the Senate in November. Considering his role in destroying the courts, warping the Senate, and elevating Trump above the law, it seems only right to send McConnell a going-away present, as he is the longest-serving Senate leader in history.

Let's assume our worst nightmare: the Democrats went to the White House, the House, the Senate," McConnell said during his Aug. 7 keynote speech at the National Conference of State Legislatures Legislative Summit.
If that happened, McConnell warned Republicans, The first thing they'll do is get rid of the filibuster. Second, you'll have two new states, D.C. [and] Puerto Rico. That's four new Democratic senators in perpetuity.

Puerto Rice has as many people as Iowa. So it might cancel the neo-confederate ways of Iowa in the electoral college and house of reps as well.
The filibuster shouldn't exist McTurtle. Read the Federalist papers and the constitution the tyranny of the minority is a horrible thing.

(1,051 posts)Senator McConnell worked his whole life long to make America like Russia, to re-en-serf us all with glory to the plutocrats who he believes own us all, everyone. He has worked vigorously to bring baksheesh to America, to end the honest services doctrine and to ensure our water is filthy and our air dripping with petrochemical goo.
Looks like his life work is going goodbye
Our ancestors are applauding this outcome and telling us to make certain it happens. !!
