Joe Scarborough just called McConnell "Moscow Mitch"

[madaboutharry]

McConnell has taken up calling Russian interference in our elections as a "Hoax."

McConnell is either being blackmailed or bribed.

Criminals are in charge of this country.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. Kudos to Joe for this. Hope that name catches on.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Joe is ON FIRE!

Highly recommend everyone to tune in this am - this is GREAT!

[Ilsa]

3. There is so much to use against MM by the retired

Marine Corps pilot running against him. She's the patriot, he's the corrupt swamp aiding Putin in subverting US democracy.

[onetexan]

5. God Almighty i hope she wins

He's neck deep in cahoots w the russians.

[Rebl2]

7. Got that right he's in deep

I think his wicked wife is too. Like the name Joe gave him. Describes him perfectly- Moscow Mitch

[malaise]

4. He said it several times

I did laugh

[wiley]

6. Great show today!

And the polls, as I predicted, appear to show Biden surging in every state. Regardless of how much I like Kamala she should not have attacked a friend the way she did. We are all going to drown in Moscow Mitch shit if we think that fighting an old race war is going to win us anything. Donny Deutch was also spot on. When they go low, we have to get out the nukes and blow them out of their sewers. I'm terrified of the prospect of Trump winning with Russian interference and foreign money again, and we have to instill fear in those that might support the GOP or be interested in fighting a race war of exactly how fuct up that will leave us all.

8. Morning Joe takes a lot of crap here - but he is quite important for 2020 for Dems

[SallyHemmings]

9. Moscow Mitch!!!!!!

He, Red Don are destroying our Democracy in plain sight.

Not sure whether the folks in Kentucky care enough to vote him out.

[OnDoutside]

23. You have to start somewhere !

[Hortensis]

10. McConnell has sold his votes in return for power all his career,

particularly to American energy leaders and for the last 30 years Chinese businessmen. So bribed is a way of life for him, though power is his payoff, personal wealth something that eventually mostly came through marrying the daughter of one of the Chinese billionaires he does work for. Haven't checked lately, but the last total from Russians I saw was roughly $1M funneled through his PAC, which he uses to grow power.

He hasn't exhibited the strange but now-common personality and behavior changes among Republicans in power that make people wonder at blackmail as almost the only explanation that would make sense. He's always been very dirty but characteristically very careful, and today's committed alliance with the very wealthy and powerful to betray his nation and its people, seems entirely consistent.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Shit! Didn't the Koch Brother's father make a lot of his wealth dealing with Joseph Stalin?

[Hortensis]

15. Yup, and Nazi Germany. Jane Mayer and others suspect

the Koch sons may not be true "libertarians." A way of laundering inherited fascistic tendencies (my words, not theirs) through an ideology that dresses up callous greed with a frosting of specially-designed morality that potentially excuses almost all behaviors as exercises of the ultimate morality, "personal freedom."

[True Blue American]

17. So did

The Bush family. The US Government confiscated their factories because they refused to pull out of Germany during WW 2.

[Hortensis]

21. Yes. British royals had very unfortunate ties. So many did.

Germany was the world's leader in science before its particularly virulent RW populist movement succeeded in taking over.

[True Blue American]

24. True, but

Bush refused to leave.

[Hortensis]

30. I just went and read that Prescott Bush was an executive and

shareholder of a seized company that did business with companies that helped build the Third Reich and on the board of directors of that or another. (Your linked article is for conservative women unhappy in college. Bless their hearts.) Does the one you meant to link show that family holdings included ownership of an American company(s) doing business in Germany? That they refused to close down or bring home? I vaguely remember allegations but not details.

Business involvement in Germany after the Nazis seized the national government (massive election crimes, including violence, typical of fascists) ranged anywhere from unwilling and unintended to enthusiastic, full-blown support. No excuses for those who continued to enable Germany's invasions and concentration camps, which began virtually immediately, of course.

[True Blue American]

36. Glad you read it.

So many do not remember the past of so many huge fortunes.

I may have this post deleted but the Kennedy fortune was built on bootlegging.

Rockefeller was chased all over the Country when Teddy Roosevelt broke up the big companies.

The Trump fortune started on Prostitutes and Donald, his Father, Fred followed right along, cheating workers, forming Ponzi schemes.

Now, we have MOSCOW MITCH, his wife Elaine benefiting from drugs and out right corruption

[Hortensis]

39. Mitch's ruthless wife is the daughter of a Chinese billionaire.

The greed of these people is astonishing.

Interestingly, though Moscow Mitch undoubtedly started feeling poor among all those centimillionaires and billionaires in DC before he married a woman who could legally contribute virtually unlimited money to his lifestyle, for most of his life he's not been particularly interested in money. Power's his passion, and he's allied to get more and more with the biggest powers in this nation and others. Aside from the American electorate he now has to keep from destroying him.

[maddiemom]

40. How old Mitch landed an attractive, filthy rich, younger woman is a mystery in itself.

[Hortensis]

42. Power is attractive to many women, and their fathers.

And the happy couple clearly share a profound lack of altruism or compunction.

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Are there video clips of Moscow Mitch busting Obama's balls for being weak on Putin?

[madaboutharry]

12. Danny Deutch now calls Trump "Criminal Trump"

[The Wizard]

14. Donny Deutch

is using the term Criminal Trump.

[maddiemom]

16. I truly hate Mitch far more than I do Trump...

He's way smarter and savvy as to the ways of government and how to pervert them. He BRAGS about his ability to pervert normal government functions any time Democrats are involved. No worries about hurting the American public anytime he can screw over a Democrat. He's made it very clear that his priority is thwarting Dems. I lived in eastern Kentucky for some years prior to Mitch (who's far from a native son). The friends with whom I keep in touch say his"goodies" provided keep most Kentuckians voting for him.

[True Blue American]

18. That is why Scarborough

Mentioned the Aluminum factory going to be built by a Russian Oligarch.

[GoCubsGo]

19. McConnell isn't being blackmailed or bribed.

He's willingly acting for his own benefit. He's likely one of the people doing the blackmail and bribery. He's one of the heads of the crime syndicate.

[True Blue American]

37. True!

[superpatriotman]

20. Many times

Drive it home, new ally.

[RussBLib]

22. And what shall the Dems candidates for Prez say?

I'm rather tired of having 20+ Dem candidates for president and none of them has much to say about what the fuck is going on with this country.

[OnDoutside]

25. September will be radically different with the tighter Debate requirements.

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Is it the Vodka?

Lots of Vodka in Russia. Lot's of Vodka produced in Kentucky. Historical roots are underinvestigated.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Moscow Mitch is Putin's snitch

[True Blue American]

38. :)

[JAD]

28. DU members have been calling him Moscow Mitch since 2017.

I emailed my Representative yesterday about impeaching trump and protecting our elections. I did use the term Moscow Mitch. I told her my ancestors didn't fight in George Washington's Army in the Revolutionary War for Russia. My grandfather didn't fight in the US Navy in WW1 for Russia. My dad didn't fight in the US Army in WW2 for Russia. My husband didn't fight in the US Marines in the Vietnam War for Russia. Why are all these Republicans fighting for Russia? I wrote that Moscow Mitch brought the vote to drop the sanctions on the Russians for election interference that set a Senate vote speed record.

[Bettie]

29. I don't think he's being blackmailed or bribed

I think he believes that it is his absolute right to do whatever he has to in order to maintain the power he has.

[Vogon_Glory]

31. The results of our elections should be dictated by American electorate

Not by the men in the Kremlin.

We need to use this meme not only on Mitch, but his lieutenants (Like John Cornyn) and his fellow Republicans.

[wss2001]

32. Un-American Activities

The House needs to bring back a version of the house Un-American activities committee,HUAC. They need to drag all these Republicans in front of it and investigate their ties to Russia and other foreign actors to see if they have
Motivations other than hanging on to their positions to explain why they are selling our country out.

[maddiemom]

41. And so many of Trump's base say they'd rather be run by Russians than Democrats.

WTF? On the other hand, Fat Donnie is using "Socialists" as the new boogieman. His followers confuse Socialism with Communism, yet still...The late, great George Carlin totally nailed it. If there is an AVERAGE intelligence, HALF of our population is BELOW average intelligence
