Some people may feel the need to argue this, but McConnell has been pretty much putting the kabosh on anything the Democrats want to do for some time now, and yet somehow he's managed to stay under the radar except for the recent spate of "Moscow Mitch" tweets. Granted he doesn't inject himself into the spotlight as much as T does, which is probably why the MSM doesn't cover him as much, but he's certainly kept a low profile.
AFAIC, he has totally ignored and flaunted and shit on his oath of office and on the Constitution he swore to protect. "Why" is a separate question and not the subject of this post. He may afraid of something or someone, or afraid of blackmail, or hanging on to try to lose face, or any other reason, but I won't go there. I don't want to go there.
In any case, it was obvious a couple of weeks ago that he didn't like the "Moscow Mitch" label and that he was upset about it, and that it seemed to make him nervous. Apparently he would rather pull the strings from backstage and not be seen for who he is. So I think we need to ramp up the public pressure on him.
I've chosen to not be on social media, but many of you have chosen to be on it. I think the time is ripe to start bringing him up on there and put him on the radar instead of letting him stay under it. For all I know, like many other politicians, he may have some skeletons in his closet that should be exposed, and especially given the upcoming elections.
T gets all the blame for a lot of stuff, but, if it weren't for McConnell, he wouldn't be getting away with it.

(11,282 posts)Mitch had blocked?
The Pukes keep saying that the House had done nothing and the asshole press doesn't have the balls to tell the truth.

(6,232 posts)social media would work just as well if not better. Eventually the MSM would think there's a story there and start covering it.

(11,282 posts)It seems Trump, the Republicans and the Russians are very good at it.

(6,232 posts)but it seems they're not getting a lot of political mileage out of it. Maybe they just don't want to politicize it, where the others are using it as a tool.

(58,647 posts)it's that liberals don't fall for the conspiracy bullshit coming out of the RW fever swamp and the RW sheeple will ignore any contrarian information.
