McConnell ignored political norms and stole 2 seats. He would not allow President Obama's nominee even a hearing in 2016, nevermind a vote, under the pretext the presidential election was less than a year away. He masterminds Gorsuch to fill the vacancy. Then this same asshole pushes Barrett through to take RBG's seat mere weeks before the next presidential election, effectively allowing Trump to select a full third (including that peach Kavanaugh) of the McConnell Court. Democracy and political norms be damned in the name of seizing such overwhelming power it allows them to push an agenda so conservative a majority of Americans would never vote for it.
And the rulings we are seeing from this tainted, shameless McConnell Court are just the beginning...

This is McConnell's proudest achievement.

Normalize hate and violence.
Stochastic terrorism.
Bring down elected government.
I thought about everything that has gone on some years past the "old guard" Limbaugh and such days.
If you call it a Russian plot to destroy the U.S. to help their third-world state, everything fits "like a glove'
Later on that.
But the Mitchivillan plot to destroy from the inside is crystal clear.
Without him, none of this could have been done.
Moscow, indeed.
