1. Both.

[BoRaGard]

2. The repubes have all earned special Brown-Nose distinction

[kacekwl]

3. I think

Mitch's daddy would take him to the wood shed for his subservient behavior. Just guessing.

[Dave Bowman]

4. Can't stand that spineless crooked turtle.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Both

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Both.

[dutch777]

7. Both AND they can't come up with real policy ideas or working leadership...just complaints and grievances

The latter of which if apparently in alignment with enough ignorant voters can get you elected. And holding power, despite any ability to do something worthwhile with it, is all they care about.

[grumpyduck]

8. I dunno...

I tend to think fear is in there somewhere.

Fear of what?

Retribution?

Losing Vlad's money?

Blackmail?

Losing protection?

Losing face to their voters?

Etc. etc...

[PatSeg]

12. Yes, I think they ARE cowards and morally bankrupt,

but there is also fear for many of them, which may vary with each individual.

[calimary]

25. Definitely fear. And intimidation.

Nobody’s ever said no to this bastard and they’re not inclined to start now.

[Wounded Bear]

9. The terms are not mutually exclusive...nt

[niyad]

10. Both.

[doc03]

11. Imagine some of them were saying charactor

matters back in the Clinton days.

[PatSeg]

13. Yeah, how soon we forget

Well, they can't use that old canard anymore can they?

[2naSalit]

14. I'm pretty sure it's both. ...nt

[Initech]

15. He must have got his quarterly performance evaluation from Sean Hannity.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. That bottom pic of the supplicating Turtle

will go down in infamy.

But then from one crook to another...

[orleans]

17. mitch just doesn't want his fellow republicans to kill him for not sucking off their king like the rest of them

keep doing

ewww

[Erda]

18. Notice how Trump covered the top of McConnell's hand with his own?

To me, that is significant body language expressing "I own you, I dominate you, I can force you to endure my touch."

[malthaussen]

19. The two are not mutually exclusive. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. MoscowMitch sure is a lowly worm, but like all RepuKKKes, he has a vision for the country.

[Blue Idaho]

21. Just another attempt

To normalize TSF and send another wave of amnesia over the general population about just what a corrupt fucked up mess the last Trump administration was.

[twodogsbarking]

22. Oh, he is still alive. Shucks.

[FakeNoose]

23. McConnell's not running for re-election - he should have the guts to stand up like a man

Instead ... he crawls like a turtle.

[calimary]

24. McConnell should be ashamed of himself

but of course he won’t be.

He’s certainly got his “presidential kneepads”, though.

[brush]

26. McTurtle is just as disgusting as trump to still be backing him after what he said...

about trump's responsibility for J6.

Maybe even more disgusting and despicable because he's still of sound min...when he's not dithering, that is.

Trump isn't.

And did I mention craven when talking about McTurtle?

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Everyone respect Don Corleone.

Or else.

[Wonder Why]

28. The answer to the question is simply: YES

[Joinfortmill]

29. All that and more.

[patphil]

30. I have no idea what is going on in the brains of people like McConnell when it comes to Trump.

What kind of hold does he have over these people?
So many Republicans standing around just waiting for a chance to grovel at his feet.
Trump is looking more and more like Hitler 2.0 every day.
It's pretty damn scary.

[ShazzieB]

34. It's getting downright creepy.

The sycophancy just gets worse and worse, more and more exaggerated. They've almost turned into a parody of themselves.

They creep me the fuck out!

[patphil]

36. My feelings exactly,. I wonder if Trump gave them all rings, like in the Lord of the Rings books.

[ShazzieB]

39. Hmmm...

Let's see, how does that inscription go again?

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them.

Wow, that fits all right!

[patphil]

40. Yup!

[whopis01]

31. They are not mutually exclusive n/t

[Blue Owl]

32. McTurtle's cognitive abilities have been shell-shocked

[ShazzieB]

33. After January 6, I acually almost sort of liked Mitch for about 5 minutes.

When he made that speech (or was it speeches, I can't remember) ripping TSF a new one over the insurrection, I was cheered and amazed. "Wow," I thought, "maybe this guy isn't 100% pure evil after all."

Ha ha ha on me. We all know how that turned out. And Mitch wasn't the only one, either. Having the living daylights scared out of them had a surprising (though brief) effect on a lot of those Republicans. They actually sounded halfway sensible for a couple of seconds there. It's just a damned shame it didn't last.

[4lbs]

35. Yes. Morally Bankrupt Coward.

MBC.

Both of them.

The lizard on the left would probably rather sniff the butt of the lizard on the right (them farts smell real good!), but they are on TV so they'll just shake hands for now.

Butt-sniffing will happen later out of camera range?

Uncle Tim Scott on the far left probably thinking along the lines of "I love this man. How do I get in on that action? My tongue, his bung."

[republianmushroom]

37. Moscow Mitch at his finest, kiss the ass of the convicted felon trump.

40 months and counting (includes foot dragging)

[czarjak]

41. Come Crawling

Rule#1

[czarjak]

42. Kentuckey Fried Chickenshit

No secret recipe needed.

[czarjak]

43. Whack-A-Mole Mitch needs a damned good one!
