It's what he does. I don't even think it's ideological anymore, it's an unconscious reflex. marble falls Oct 2021 #5

Why do they even allow McConnell to speak. Every point he makes is a lie. He is a misinformation machine. And as long as MSM kisses his ass he will remoin a misinformation machine. MSM is doing everything in their power to get Republicans elected for their conservative ownership, even knowing that it mean more Trump. Trump is good for their bottom line and that is all that matters to them. Always follow the money. It will lead you to the whores.

To move this country forward or solve critical problems - all he knows how to do is obstruct, and he's done that since Obama was elected.

But I agree, I think that McConnell has outlived any usefulness he might have been to the state of Kentucky. He obviously doesn't work to enact programs that will help his constituents, his aim seems to be to obstruct anything that the Democrats want to pass to help people.

He's done little else since Obama took office, he probably doesn't know to do anything else.
