mitch mcconnell releases statement on trumps 'national emergency' - blames Democrats

[spanone]

“President Trump’s decision to announce emergency action is the predictable and understandable consequence of Democrats’ decision to put

partisan obstruction ahead of the national interest. I urge my Democratic colleagues to quickly get serious, put partisanship aside, and work with

the president and our homeland security experts to provide the funding needed to secure our borders as we begin the next round of appropriations.”

[smirkymonkey]

6. Fuck him!

With a chainsaw. I hate that bastard with the fire of a thousand suns!

[imanamerican63]

7. Yep, just like the way you treated Obama!

Remember Mitch a.k.a Trump's bitch!

[Va Lefty]

9. God, I hate that SOB!

[The Truth Is Here]

10. Misfire.

All blame goes to Trump and McConnell. That's it.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. Hey, Mitch. Remember Merrick Garland? Now, let's talk about partisan obstruction.

[still_one]

12. Hey Mitch, tell us about how you refused President Obama a SC nomination, you hypocritical asshole

[BSdetect]

13. This is tantamount to a declaration of political war. Scum

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Mitch Mitch Mitch,

your days of being anything close to credible are gone,doubt me,ask Harry Reid.

You are not known by the name of Slimy for nothing.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. And exactly where was Mitch and Paul Ryan from Jan. 2017 until

Dec. 2018? They could have secured the borders with any amount of taxpayer money they wanted.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Nothing that he said make it an emergency

Isn't that the real import of his statement? Even McConnell couldn't muster up language to create an alleged emergency.

[CrispyQ]

17. I actually hate McConnell more than Trump. -nt

[DFW]

39. With good reason

McTurtle actually knows what he's doing. Trump does not. Neither of them cares.

[PeeJ52]

18. Please start bringing up McConnell's Russian associations and contributors...

enough of this crap. He needs to be exposed.

[lpbk2713]

19. More finger pointing and avoiding accountability.

Probably the only thing (R)s are good at.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Oh, go fuck yourself, you chinless sack of shit.

[gelsdorf]

22. Stunned!! Stunned, I Say

When will these people just go away? Same old, tired bullshit time after time, it's worse than listening to top 40 music

[UCmeNdc]

23. Mitch McConnell is the problem!

[spanone]

26. amen!!!

[tymorial]

27. Oh he is a problem all right.

He has completely eradicated any notion of checks and balances. It is a blatant and gross violation of his oath.

[MoonRiver]

24. The Turtle really slipped up. Showing his age, lol?

He actually wrote DEMOCRATIC colleagues!

[DFW]

41. Major grammatical error.

He wrote in English instead of Republicanese.

Fox will destroy him for using a foreign language.

[MoonRiver]

43. Exactly!

[tymorial]

25. Trump and Mcconnell... two narcissistic whack jobs who care only about the power they hold.

I hate them both but I expect Trump to behave unethically, irresponsibly and unprofessionally. McConnell in some ways is worse because through his actions he has placed the senate under Trump's control. To abandon the separation of powers in such a public and unapologetic way is so perverse as to be unbelievable. Never would I imagine we would be in this situation.

[MurrayDelph]

29. Mitch McConnell is the poster boy

for someone deserving to be kicked in the criminals.

[Blue Owl]

30. Shut your fucking turtle mouth you piece of shit

n/t

[muntrv]

31. Partisan obstruction? Like Merrick Garland?

[Javaman]

32. translation...

You forced us to load the gun, you forced us to point at you, you forced us to pull the trigger. it's all your fault!

aka typical repuke tactic of blaming the victim.

[guillaumeb]

33. 400 GOP fillibusters Mitch.

He is hopelessly compromised by the same money that compromises Trump.

[struggle4progress]

34. McConnell, at long last, has no sense of decency left

Trump met with Pelosi and Shumer on 11 December 2018 (when Republicans still controlled both the House and the Senate) to complain he couldn't get his wall funded: "I can’t get it passed in the House if it’s not going to pass in the Senate"

In this meeting, Trump asserted: "I am proud to shut down the government for border security ... I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it"

But a week later, he was shrieking: "The Democrats now own the shutdown!" and as Trump continued to insist he wouldn't sign an appropriations bill without wall funding, the Republican Party controlled House passed a bill with such funding but the Republican Party controlled Senate did not pass the bill

The shutdown began 22 December 2018

The 115th Republican Party controlled House ended when the new 116th Democratic Party controlled House arrived on 3 January 2019. The new House then promptly passed an appropriations bill, passed by the previous 115th Senate, but McConnell refused to bring the bill to the Senate floor, leading to a month-long shutdown. The stopgap funding bill that ended the shutdown with several weeks of funding was followed by a House and Senate conference committee proposal that led to the new funding bill

McConnell knows the Republican Party controlled Senate could not pass the wall funding, even when the Republican Party controlled House did, but despite his own role in the unnecessary shutdown and his own inability to run wall-funding through the Senate, McConnell wants to blame the Dems

[spanone]

35. I bet we see those senators with 'serious concerns' about the 'emergency' coalesce behind mitch.

they always do.

[lark]

36. He's up to his eyeballs in Deripaska Russian $$.

He'll do anything to keep it hidden that he and his party are actual traitors and criminals.

[bluestarone]

37. The House needs to subpoena this asshole!!

I mean NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! God would i love that!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. why isn't Moscow Mitch in prison?

He knowingly accepted foreign campaign money laundered through the NRA. He should be in prison by now.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

40. Oh fuck off McConnell

Pathetic to hear a member of the so called party of personal responsibility make excuses for a 72 year old man child.

[akraven]

42. There is ANOTHER village missing its idiot?

Who could have guessed?

[Ilsa]

44. That's a loser's statement. nt
