After 9th Circuit ruling Mitch McConnell discovers he still has testicles!

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-trump-travel-ban-visas-20170205-story.html

There they are! Shazaam!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, "We all get disappointed from time to time at the outcome in courts on things that we care about. But I think it is best to avoid criticizing judges individually."

McConnell went on to offer a broader critique of Trump's executive order than he had previously: "We all want to try to keep terrorists out of the United States. But we can't shut down travel. We certainly don't want Muslim allies who have fought with us in countries overseas to not be able to travel to the United States. We need to be careful about this."

You do realize that literally every single sentence *can* be offensive?

Example: "Have a good day!"

What?? Do you know how insensitive that is to someone who is depressed??

Example:

"Good to see you!"

What?? Do you know how offensive that is to someone who is blind??

etc. etc.

If you want to spend your life offended go right ahead. You'll always have something that's offensive.

when courts blocked his executive actions, he never whined or complained about them publicly, nor did he attack the Judges.
