That is all.

1. For someone I had reservations about...

In the early days of 45, this guy has gone far and wide with his public displays and I am thankful for it. Very entertaining while biting the target hard most of the time.

29. Clause worked in the Clinton White House,

so I was onboard from the beginning. I've supported his MadDogPac from the beginning. We bought PPE for the Navajo Nation at the beginning of the pandemic.
My dog has an "Impeachment Now" shirt & a Bite Back leash, and I sent an "Impeachment Now" bumper sticker & Trump Treason coin to a Twitter friend in Amsterdam. He was so excited to get his goods. They hate TFG as much as we do.t 😊

2. It's worth it to them to "own the libs" by giving billionaire politicians their money

[gab13by13]

3. The billionaires

pick SC justices and judges and write legislation for the GQP.

[ancianita]

9. My thought exactly. Maher is right. As long as they hate the same people, they're ok with Mitch

[KS Toronado]

4. Kentucky should have these on every corner in town

And every mile on their highways.

[Lars39]

5. I'd have to pull over and catch my breath

from laughing so hard! Those are great!

[Tommymac]

6. I agree. Wish I could drive by them myself. nt

[CrispyQ]

7. Putin's Mitch.

[Strelnikov_]

8. My favorite also. n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

27. I use "Putin's Bitch" to rhyme with Moscow Mitch. It's the start of a nice poem. nt

[FakeNoose]

10. Moscow Mitch just got re-elected

We're stuck with him for another 6 years, then he'll be gone. He's already said this is his last term. I don't know what these billboards are supposed to accomplish. The people of Kentucky have already shown they don't give a shit HOW BAD their Senator is.

[calimary]

12. Oh great. Why are we stuck with him for so much longer???

There is STILL so much damage he can do.

[FakeNoose]

14. Well actually he won last year, so he's got 5 years to go

Unless he resigns early, and that doesn't seem likely.

[lastlib]

30. Do turtles die of heart attacks?

Asking for a friend.

Or do they just nasty away?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. Ugh, ugh UGH!!!

[momta]

17. The billboards went up before the last election.

I'm not sure about this tweet, but those billboards were put up to try to elect Amy McGrath more than a year ago.

I don't even know f they're still there.

[raising2moredems]

38. I don't believe him..

He'll do exactly what his handlers and FIL's smuggling, I mean shipping, company tells him to do. I have a relative in that state who can't figure out how he won his elections given all the anti-Mitch-bitch talk he's heard.

[33taw]

11. We need these for Ron Johnson in WI.

[Celerity]

19. Putin's Johnson

[33taw]

26. Nice!

[KentuckyWoman]

13. They make zero difference.

His current term does not expire until Jan 2027. Unless he dies he'll be there destroying democracy for another 5 years +

And for reasons I do not understand, Kentucky voters do not equate Mitch's corruption with the Republican Party.

[SergeStorms]

18. It's that parochial attitude people get.

"Congress sucks, all except our Senators and Congress Critters, of course ".

Everyone thinks their choices for Washington are blameless. It's everyone else's choices that are screwing up the country.

[malaise]

15. Real nice

Rec

[cstanleytech]

16. "Putin's Mitch"? More like "Putin's Bitch".

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. Right, that's 'the joke' in play (nt)

[hay rick]

20. I think the "We're rich..." billboard is effective.

It doesn't require following anything that is happening in the news and the picture with his wife hoists the MAGAs by their own xenophobic petards.

[Uncle Joe]

22. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Tommymac.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

23. Wished they'd audit Kentucky 2020 election results bc surely voters ..nevermind

..bc pres Lyndon Johnson words came to me..President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pocket for you. That not only describes Mitch but entire Republiklan party. Given the stellar Dem [Amy McGrath ] candidate that challenged the racist, bigoted, mysogynistic, xenophobic
yes his wife is Asian which really is a head scratcher bc he, is policy is everything against who she is ..except that she is wealthy in her own right, her family is as well so there is that. But he is one greedy McConnel SOB. His state is #4 in poverty..yet this guy keeps getting elected--why? As sign blatantly suggest ..McConnell are rich ..how r u doing? That one billboard is jarring! Apathy, oppression..racism?

..bc ..President Lyndon Johnson's words just came to mind, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pocket for you.[snopes.com] IMO, that not only describes Mitch but entire Republiklan party and can only explain why voters in Kentucky and those who voted for odious-racist-criminale#45 keep voting against their own interests.

He should have lost in 2020, given the stellar Dem [Amy McGrath ] candidate that challenged the racist, bigoted, mysogynistic, xenophobic greedy SOB. When researching Kentucky, was actually surprised to find that Kentucky went for Carter in 1976, for Clinton in 1992, 96

Kentucky ranks #4 in poverty in U.S. how embarrassing, how does this guy sleep at night? Yet, keeps getting elected--why? As sign blatantly states they're rich ..y, and you? That one billboard is jarring! Hope it wakes up some folks! Is it apathy, oppression..racism? Quien sabes? Who knows? Anyway..pulled up a few stats on Kentucky for my records [Biden's election outcome mirrored McGrath's. ]

Kentucky has been reliably Republican, although its voters have been willing to vote Democratic when a southern governor has run – the state voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976 and for Bill Clinton in both 1992 and 1996. In 2020, Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden 62% to 36%.

25. Nice, but let me know when the citizens of Kentucky

actually stop electing and re-electing skunks like Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul.

[Boomerproud]

31. Exactly.

The billboards have no effect whatsoever.

[Tommymac]

33. Respectfully disagree- the humor value alone is worth it as it keeps me sane.

I'm sure others feel the same way.

Ridicule is always effective, even if dated - some sane folk WILL associate the overall rethuglican party with these messages, perhaps reevaluate their stance and will make some change their minds next election.

Who knows?

Me, I like the funny.

[Hekate]

28. Beautiful throwback to Burma Shave.

[IronLionZion]

32. It should trickle down to his constituents eventually

Some may die waiting

[Shoonra]

34. A year late ....

Moscow Miotch was re-elected to another 6 years in the last (Nov 2020) election. He's in for 6 years unless his health deteriorates too much. So all these billboards a year after the election are an expensive futility.

[ZZenith]

35. Highlighting a sitting senator's malfeasance and unjustified wealth might not be at all futile.

Everything helps that enlightens those who might not have thought things through completely yet.

[myccrider]

36. Moscow's Mitch? That might work, too

These are GREAT!!

[Cha]

37. That last one is perfect.

Rt TY

[peppertree]

39. Yayo buys a lot of nice things.

42. Rand Paul needs to be on the other side of Elaine Chou.

Sure, her and Mitch are partners in crime, but does anyone really think Rand intended to get rich and famous on being an optometrist? If he had, he might have actually studied.
