"SNIP..........
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell went on Fox News to whine about Democrats obstructing Trump nominees while forgetting that he spent Obamas two terms engaging in obstruction so severe that he obstructed a Supreme Court nominee.
.......
Q: How do you respond to the criticism that there are still so many nominations that need to get through the Senate? When I sent out a tweet earlier today that would be speaking with you, a number of people said please ask Senator Mcconnell why he is not scheduling more time to push through these nominees. He said he would work weekends, make people stay weekends and that would break the logjam with Democrats and the 30-hour rule would be washed out pretty quickly.
McConnell: The number of times weve threatened to do that, theyve collapsed. Weve gotten a lot of nominations, and the president has a very legitimate complaint. Ive had to file cloture 88 times in the Trump administration, thats more than the last six presidents in the first two years together. Democrats do have an opportunity to slow the process. We are working hard to try to truncate that.
Mitch McConnell whining about obstruction is one of the most politically disgusting sights imaginable. McConnell broke the Senate and brought the legislative process to a halt in an effort to make Obama a one-term president, and after that failed win back the White House for Republicans. Now that his job is on the line, McConnell has changed his tune about obstruction. What Democrats are doing is fulling vetting nominees. Since Trump does no vetting, they have to be extra cautious before moving a nomination forward.

I hope he goes to jail for life and is bankrupt as a result of his greed, hypocrisy and treason. If there were a guillotine around these days there would be one with his name carved into it already.
