Who is Mitch McConnell?

We know what he is.....

1. He is the gravedigger of democracy.

As long as he's getting what he wants, he's going to keep going. If Trump's voted out, he'll continue to obstruct as he did with Obama. He rushed dozens and dozens of judge nominations through when he knew he could get his friends from the Federalist Society on the bench, and withheld nominations for years under Obama until there was a shortage and a crisis. This is all in addition to his blatant theft of Merrick Garland's seat on the SCOTUS.

He's super rich, insanely powerful, completely out of touch with any constituency that doesn't include other extremely wealthy and powerful people like himself. He will actively harm the poor, women, POC, LGBTQ+, and immigrants, because none of those people even exist in any meaningful way for him. They're (we're) an abstraction. He will suppress votes, gerrymander, lie, cheat, block Senate votes, obstruct, whatever he thinks he needs to do to give his party the tiniest edge. Not even because he believes in the party, but because it will keep him in power.

2. I dreaded watching this. Thanks tomhagen, I appreciate your effort.

I just cannot stand reading about Moscow Mitch or to
look at his face. There is only one person I despise more.

I do not wish them any harm, they are living through hell
right now ... I wonder if they ever look in a mirror and see
one of two people in this whole world I despise.

3. This "thing" is the greatest evil currently in government. He is on parr with Cheney. Without this

particular scumbag in Congress, 45 would never have been able to take a wrecking-ball to our federal government and our justice system.

4. Given the drug smuggling by his in-laws...

I'd say he's the government 'facilitator' and fixer for his criminal organization.

5. He's always been a hideously ugly motherfucker, hasn't he.

Maybe that is why he is so filled with bitterness and resentment. I couldn't even get all the way through that because, like with Trump, the sight and sound of that man sends me into such a rage I could punch a hole through my wall. The happiest days of my life will be when I read his and Trump's obituaries. Hopefully, very soon.
