Stephen King DOES NOT mince words with turtle #MoscowMitch...

[Miles Archer]

Leader McConnell
@senatemajldr

The entire nation is horrified by today's senseless violence in El Paso. Elaine's and my prayers go out to the victims of this terrible violence, their families and friends, and the brave first responders who charged into harm’s way.

1. If Moscow Mitch were truly horrified by it, he would do something about it.

[spooky3]

7. Such as put the house bill on the floor for a vote. Nt

[pazzyanne]

10. +10000

You beat me to it.

[MontanaMama]

2. Fucking A

Moscow Mitch is an accomplice.

[Traildogbob]

4. Damn!!!!

Can somebody shut White House Kelly's mouth, hanging outside of Donnies club. She is making me sick with normalizing trump golfing while the country is being shot to hell, by his peeps, edged on by his anus shaped mouth. MSNBC can be such pricks most of the time.

3. Accomplices: MoscowMitch. NRA. Republican billionaire NRA donors. Koches.

Adelson.

Gun CEOs:

Two of the NRA’s biggest financial contributors are foreign-owned firearms companies from Italy — Beretta ($1 million to $5 million level) and Benelli ($500,000 to $1 million level).

Here are five of the NRA’s biggest gun industry backers who have contributed $1 million or higher. They include the biggest financial contributor — MidwayUSA, a distributor of high-capacity magazines, but also oil and gas company Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. Other gun industry donors include Beretta USA Corporation, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, LLC, and Springfield Armory, Inc.

Why do oil and gas companies donate to the NRA? Because gun identity politics gets votes for climate change denial. And Clayton Williams Energy doesn't care who gets killed as long as they can make money right now by pushing off climate change action.

5. Smells like a club of like-minded destroyers of public control

Public control is somewhat synonymous with democracy. Transparency is also a word that is used frequently.

Groups like DU, ProPublica and many others are trying to link these clubs together. Following the money is usually a good first start. Other ties include "friends-of-friends" and cohorts in other organizations. The work by the Panama Papers is a good source.

Let's get what we know out there and support organizations that further these goals.

Beware of false friends, however.

28. Correct. They all want to destroy government to enrich themselves.

Government is a form of power to the people.
Rightwing billionaires don’t want the people to have power. They don’t want rule of law; they don’t want elected officials whose terms end and leave politics.

THEY want to have as much power as possible. And they want to have it as long as they can. This is why rightwing billionaires and autocracy are quite similar.

That’s why rightwing billionaires donate to NRA, Limbaugh, anti-choice groups, Ben Shapiro, other radicalizers of young white men, the tea party, and rightwing media.

[calimary]

6. Yep. Thought of another Russian reference for our f(r)iend McConnell...

Another Putin bitch, Mitch?

[lastlib]

16. RepublicaNRA--From Russia with hate.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. Oh for F sake, Claytie is involved in this?

He has been an asshole forever. Thank God Ann Richards beat him for Governor

[sharedvalues]

27. Rightwing billionaires are destroying our country

Most billionaires are conservatives.
They are spending money to pursue power and they don’t care who gets hurt in the process.
There are no greater enemies of American democracy today than rightwing billionaires.

8. El Paso tragedy

The tragedy in El Paso was the 291st mass shooting this year.
Earlier this year, the House passed common sense gun safety legislation, HR 8 and HR 1112.
Mitch McConnell won’t allow a vote in the Senate on either bill. Enough is enough

[mudstump]

9. MachineGunMitch

[peggysue2]

11. Whoosh!

Stephen King nails McTurtle. Also says what most of us think. When 90% of the American public demanded sensible gun control after Sandy Hook, McConnell and his Republican cohorts sent thoughts and prayers. Enough! They're all complicit.

[SunSeeker]

12. K & R

[ffr]

13. Moscow Mitch has made a deal with the devil though. He knows he's already going to Hell.

Look at him. What else does he have to look forward to.

[True Blue American]

17. Briars used to hate commies!

It is now time for them to get rid of Moscow Mitch.

Notice they do not call Democrats, Commies any more.

Mitch Trump and the White Nationalists now own that name. Dirty, filthy Republican Commies!

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. FUCK YOU Moscow Mitch FUCK YOU

[Olafjoy]

15. Moscow Mitch

He has blood on his hands
He has blood on his face
He has blood on his wherever...

[Hortensis]

18. King is NOT distracted by Trump from what lurks in the sewers.

"This is on YOU. YOU should be charged as an accomplice in these deaths."

Yes.

[colsohlibgal]

19. Lots Of Blame To Go Around

Moscow Mitch, Twitler,, all of their ilk. Aided by the pervasiveness of right wing propoganda.

They have convinced millions that poor people and immigrants, and the “other”, be it people of color or LBGT.....are to blame for any problems they might have.

Republicans, when in power, spend like their is no tomorrow, running up the debt. When out of power all of a sudden they are worried about it.

It amazes me that more middle class people cannot comprehend this. Because they have forfeited critical thinking we are closer than ever to a real life “1984” and “The Handmaid’s Tale”.

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Lots o' NRA cash from Russia

Thought Moscow Mitch would want to investigate, but no, for some reason.

21. I'm sixty years old and worked most of my life in bookshops.

I've never read a Stephen King novel. Maybe I should.

I'm open to reasonable suggestions.

[wryter2000]

24. His book on writing is excellent

If you don't feel like reading a scary novel.

[Harker]

29. Thanks!

Given the nature of reality, I'm not easy to scare with fiction, but I do love reading writers on writing.

Perfect!

[yellowdogintexas]

26. Start with "The Green Mile"

not scary just a bit paranormal.

"The Body" - the short story which was the basis for the movie "Stand By Me" is not scary, just suspenseful.
"Haven" is a TV series is loosely based on the novel "Colorado Kid" It is paranormal to the max and I really enjoyed it.

Here is a list

31. You're on.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions on the matter!

I'll hit my local library this coming week and give him a spin.

[gsbbrockton]

22. Look what his twitter feed Say's

He's such a scumbag he even refer's to himself as leader
Does anyone really believe his wife isn't a Chinese Agent
He's is one of the Ugliest men in all of Government
as people say behind his back "he's no Wilbur Ross" lol

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Moscow Mitch loves his New Russian Accomplices

Moscow Mitch can't give up his money sources just because people get murdered.

[dalton99a]

30. Moscow Mitch is a full-blown accomplice.

[Doitnow]

32. Lila Garrett at kpfk has a saying that goes like this----

"The arms industry has neither friends nor enemies. It has only customers." She ends her program most every week with it.

[trof]

33. Mitch McConnell (R-KY): $1,262,189 from the NRA
