McConnell has risen from cow dung to pond scum in my eyes

Today was basically the only thing I can recall him ever doing that was worthwhile. And don't underestimate the importance of it- his recognizing Biden's win negates even the wildest Trumper fantasies of how he can still win.

McConnell made that statement solely for public consumption, and he's quite all right with the back bench bomb throwers in his caucus gumming up the works. But he asked them so politely (and publicly) not to do that!

And pond scum is a "promotion?"

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable seeing your entire "rating" system!

Still can't stand him, and he's getting sleazier by the minute, and as long as he continues to aid and abet that fucking asshole, he will be the lowest form of scum you can get for me.

On the same day, Maharaj told ThePrint that there is a need to create greater awareness among the people on how gaumutra (cow urine), gobar (cow-dung) and consuming cow products can help eliminate the coronavirus.

“Just like we organise tea parties, we have decided to organise a gaumutra party, wherein we will inform people about what is coronavirus and how, by consuming cow-related products, people can be saved from it,” Maharaj, who heads one of the two factions of the Mahasabha, said.

“The event will have counters that will provide gaumutra for people to consume. At the same time, we will also put cow products like cow-dung cakes and agarbatti made from that. Upon using these, the virus will die immediately.”

Finally, celebrations began with men of all ages splashing cow dung balls at each other. After an hour, all the participants took bath in the tank and offered prayers at the temple after which the festival came to an end. Villagers also believed that the used cow dung when sprayed in their land would increase the productivity.
