"SNIP.....

On a private conference call, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urged his Republican colleagues not to join House members on January 6 to object to state electoral results, CNN reports.

George Conway: “The importance of this is that, in order for an objection to an electoral vote certificate to be considered, it must be made by at least one member of each chamber… If an objection is made by at least one member from each house, then both houses must repair to their respective chambers for debate and a vote, with the objection being sustained only by a vote of a majority of both houses.”

“So basically McConnell is telling his caucus not to let the crazies in the House to make a circus of the electoral vote counting on January 6.”

1. I don't trust him. Is he telling them the opposite?

[BGBD]

2. Mitch doesn't give a shit about Trump

The only thing he cares about is keeping the majority and his gavel. This tells me that he thinks what Trump is doing IS hurting their chances in Georgia.

3. Oh that makes me feel better

Thanks

11. Probably glad

To get rid of Trump. Mitch is an old friend of Biden.

4. I don't think so. He truly does have to worry about the impact of the entire Senate having to vote

against Trump in such a challenge. This is par for the course for McConnell. Block things from coming up that will require an unpleasant public stance.

5. Excellent thank you

15. Mitch got what he wanted 3 supreme court justices.

He is tired of trumpy, he has outlived his usefullness.

7. It's all theater now

As long as we have a majority in the House.

8. This could be a little fun to watch if Trump remains true to his

vindictive form in the GA Senate runoff

He's already runoff with the dough ...

9. Hey, Donnie; You gonna take that disloyalty? HELL NO!!!

Time for you to pull out the stops! Tell your MAGAts to write your name in for BOTH seats in Georgia! Or better still, tell them not to vote AT ALL! That'll teach that possum's pecker (who doesn't even have ONE golf course with his name on it) his proper place! Do it, Donnie! Do it!

14. Senators won't. House Reps will.

McCarthy signed the Amicus Brief; expect a shitshow. Pelosi is, Schumer is.

[NCDem47]

16. Mitch has to get to the business of...

Screwing over Biden and Dems.

Trump is LITERALLY yesterday’s news.

[retread]

17. Moscow McTurtle has been given the go-ahead by Putin recognizing Biden as the next President. He

wants to walk the tightrope on this and not piss off tRump and possibly lose both seats in Georgia.

I, on the other hand, have my bags of popcorn ready for the 6th.
