... on dems side that isn't willing to going near illegal to get the current bastards in the KGOP out of power.

Lying sneaky fascist racist russian repug hypocrite who's destroying our country for his own profit.

McConnell doesn't care about ethics, he cares about winning. That's how he beat Obama.

he interpreted the blank spaces in the rules as saying he didn't have to act, and the Senate Dems didn't even retaliate by grinding any and all Senate business to a halt. Barely a peep was heard by the public over the clamor of Trump's self-love.

McConnell is better at being Senate Majority Leader than Reid was. He's an evil snake who knows that all that matters is Power.

Power talks, Ethics walks.

twisting rules in order to gain an unfair advantage.

Before you delete, here is the post I'm replying to:

but that is not how Political Power operates, and not how it has ever operated. McCain's "Return to Comity" was hollow bullshit when he said it.

I disagree that it was cheating. "Bent the rules", sure. It was unethical, but the Constitution says what it says. It doesn't say how soon they needed to provide advise and consent. He applied the leverage his power and the Framers afforded him, and Dems didn't.

Go ahead an copy paste this post too. I'm a cynic, not a fucking Republican.

I'd like my political leaders to (1) lead, and (2) actually use the power they have rather than whine about what they can't do. Unfortunately, Republicans have been much better at this than have Democrats for at least the past ~40 years.

I posted a thread about what Democratic Senators can actually DO to slow or stop the nomination. It's sinking like a stone in GD. Clearly, it's more important to scold Jill Stein voters (who are not at DU!) than it is to discuss actual strategy...

Being an evil snake does not make him better at his job than Reid. It makes him an evil snake. Without ethics we do not have a viable democracy.

its refreshing from a member of the press.

Thanks for the thread cynatnite

Instead, he is sober and inhabiting an ethical gutter.

My Royal Carpathian Butt!!

David Corn......you are right on the money. McConnell is white trash, I don't care how much his wife defends him. He has never made a good decision for the USA!!

we have a Democratic majority in both houses. We are too close to an election, anyway, according to McConnell.

Are they all fucking crazy?

Did turtle treat president Obama choice fairly Merrick Garland? We should scream about this

David - The word “hypocrisy” is too tired for the job you’ve given it here. Even “chutzpah” and “gross effrontery” are not up the task. I can’t think of a single expression that is adequate.

One thing I think we can agree on though is that McConnell is pure, unadulturated evil!

Excellent analogy, David Corn
