About an hour before Trump's GOP stormtroopers assaulted our Democracy Wednesday, one Mitch McConnell -- THAT Mitch McConnell -- was on the Senate floor doing what he does best: talking in code out of both sides of his dirty, ROTTEN mouth ...<more>
Seems Mitch was finally ready to put a band aid on America's gaping wound -- the one he literally had everything to do with.Mitch was going to push for certifying the vote of the American people. After months of inaction, Mitch the Great was saving the day.<more>
But even Mitch knows, and has suppressed, that he could have removed Trump from the White House last year.Even Mitch knows, but has suppressed, that he could have spared us from the absolute carnage of the past year that led to yesterday's attack on our democracy. <more>
But never mind that brutal reality. On Wednesday, a defiant Mitch was willing to go as far certifying votes that were cast by REAL American patriots, who literally risked their lives to VOTE TRUMP OUT.Wow! What a guy, eh???<more>
There was NOTHING fucking heroic about what McConnell was doing. He was simply doing the bare minimum of what is expected of any American.And that's when the real crime started ...<more>
Within minutes, TV pundits started gushing over Mitch's "bravery" for standing up to Trump. He was "meeting the moment" they breathlessly stated.On Twitter, well, that's when the hypocrisy really cranked into a special, broken gear. <more>
"Resisters" with mighty accounts started falling all over themselves to praise the Mighty Mitch.This is the very guy they spent years rightfully attacking as #MoscowMitch.This is the guy they spent years rightfully trying to drive out of the Senate. <more>
This is the guy they rightfully told us had done more damage to Americans than any human alive.This is the guy who'd rather STARVE YOU than give you ANY relief. THAT Mitch.<more>
But now he was "bringing it" and "meeting the moment."<more>
You know who you are.I see many of you have taken some of those tweets down, but the damage is done.What happens next time a Republican talks out of both sides of his/her mouth and "gives" you something that was already rightfully yours???? <more>
Not long after the gush, it started getting reported that our Capitol Building was under siege from Trump and McConnell's goons.And here's where it really gets dangerously special:<more>
We know now that lawmakers dove to the floors and hid in closets and screamed in fear as armed maniacs stormed the halls -- you know, the same kind of awful shit that OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR YEARS AT SCHOOL.<more>
And we know why children have been dealing with this for years at school -- Republicans' NRA.And do you know who champions the NRA like a boss?That's right: Mitch McConnell.<more>
But now Mighty Mitch was allegedly done fawning over Trump, and people that have to know better were fawning over him on Twitter and on the airways ...<more>
By day's end, our democracy was bleeding, but #MoscowMitch had been sent back to the minority in the Senate by the voters of Georgia. I saw you tweeting about that, too.
If you've returned to your senses, welcome back.If yer thinking of leaving again, please stay there.<end>
