Trump is dumber than shit and insane. McConnell is neither which makes him one of the most evil persons in the world.
Trump lives from second to second and spouts any piece of shit that pops into his mindless head. McConnell is calculating and thinks before he speaks.
Trump is clueless as to anything that has to do with planet Earth. McConnell is a cold, calculating, intelligent prick who is consciously fucking America.
Regardless of these differences, both need to end up in dungeons. Trump because he's a cruel malicious fuck. And McConnell because he's a more intelligent cruel malicious fuck.
Any questions about the differences between these two pricks?

(6,232 posts)It seems to me that McTurtle is letting T do whatever he wants because T is getting all the attention and keeping McTurtle under the radar. I wouldn't be surprised if Moscow Mitch really despises T and is using him as a patsy to further his own agenda.
Which makes him a galaxy-class prick totally unfit to hold public office. I wouldn't even want him as a school-crossing guard.

(16,167 posts)He and Chao? Money? Power? I don't understand what he stands to gain by fucking the United States over. Does he think he'll be an oligarch? The richest guy in bumfuck Kentucky?
Or does he just get off screwing the people over?
I just don't get it, Like I don't get the reason for DeVos to kill education.
I'm lost here.

(38,187 posts)They are assholes for the sake of being assholes. The ONLY way they get off is to screw people over. The more, the merrier.
Think about all of the serial killers in every TV show ever, and even in real life, to a degree. They get off on not only the killing, but they also get off on taunting police, taunting their victims, torturing their victims, and getting away with it. Then, they escalate.
It is how sadistic assholes are. Republicans are sadistic assholes. They are serial killers who have found a way to normalize that way of thinking and acting. So, they get away with it. It's a power trip with a sadistic bent to it.

(14,853 posts)McConnell is just evil, probably worse than Dick Cheney.
Trump is a HORRIBLE person too, but he's also an idiot... so he gets a little more leeway like often provided for the mentally handicapped in our justice system.

(16,926 posts)Some notes about Moscow Mitch McTurtle:
"When the pandemic took hold, the Presidents standing initially rose in national polls, and McConnell and Trump will surely both take credit for the aid package in the coming months. Yet, as covid-19 decimates the economy and kills Americans across the nation, McConnells alliance with Trump is looking riskier. Indeed, some critics argue that McConnell bears a singular responsibility for the countrys predicament. They say that he knew from the start that Trump was unequipped to lead in a crisis, but, because the President was beloved by the Republican base, McConnell protected him. He even went so far as to prohibit witnesses at the impeachment trial, thus guaranteeing that the President would remain in office. David Hawpe, the former editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, said of McConnell, There are a lot of people disappointed in him. He could have mobilized the Senate. But the Republican Party changed underneath him, and he wanted to remain in power."
'McConnell has stayed largely silent about the Presidents lies and inflammatory public remarks, and has propped up the Administration with legislative and judicial victories. McConnell has also brought along the Partys financial backers. Theres been too much focus on the base, and not enough on business leaders, big donors, and the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Kristol said, adding, The Trump base would be there anyway, but the élites might have rebelled if not for McConnell. He could have fundamentally disrupted Trumps control, but instead McConnell has kept the trains running.'
Much more - and quite damming (as if we didn't know!):

(38,187 posts)I used to have a college professor who said you don't have to be smart, just observant. He said he had the brain the size of a pea, but he used every bit of it. He was one of the best professors I had. He made me think constantly. There may be a grain of truth in that.
I think McConnell is not so much intelligent as observant, then he uses a CYA mentality.
