Moscow Mitch McConnell got his panties in a twist on Monday during an interview on… a Trump campaign live stream. He was being interviewed by Lara Trump, who is Eric Trump’s wife. Moscow Mitch was asked about Barack Obama’s recent and obvious bait – Obama criticized the Trump administration’s chaotic, shambolic response to the pandemic last Friday. Moscow Mitch thinks Obama should stop being such a big meanie to poor widdle Trump:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed former President Barack Obama for criticizing the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic during a private call last week, asserting that he “should have kept his mouth shut.”
“I think it’s a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you,” McConnell told President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, during a Trump campaign live stream. “You had your shot, you were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bush’s set up — of not critiquing the president who comes after you — is a good tradition.”
First of all, George W. Bush didn’t start that “tradition.” Former presidents staying relatively quiet on their successors has been happening for decades. Second of all, Trump can’t keep Obama’s name out of his anus-mouth, and all Obama had to do was making some comments TO FORMER STAFF, who then revealed the comments second-hand. That’s all it took for Trump to take the bait and throw a massive tantrum.
But what I really wanted to talk about was this part of Moscow Mitch’s thing with Lara Trump:

This is like Trump continuing to blame Obama for Obama’s failure to properly handle the coronavirus pandemic. You know, the pandemic which started last fall. In 2019. When Obama had been out of office for nearly three years. And in Obama’s eight years in office, he had developed a range of pandemic-response plans. He was actually the second president to really focus on a potential pandemic – in 2005, George W. Bush demanded his administration come up with a comprehensive pandemic-response plan, and that was what gave Obama something to build on during his administration. We could (and should) debate whether the Obama pandemic-response was as comprehensive as it should have been. But what’s not in question is the fact that the Trump administration largely gutted the Bush-Obama pandemic-response plans already in place. What’s not in question is that Trump has f–ked this up and then blamed his immediate predecessor for what happened.
We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook…. that they ignored
And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office… that they abolished.
And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75% https://t.co/OD94v0UI4n

Mitch is right, Obama didn’t leave a plan. He appointed an entire team to handle a pandemic but your boy Donny Two Scopes disbanded it while defunding the CDC.
What about the 69-page Pandemic Plan?
I think Sean meant Obama left more that just a plan.
Oh, yeah, of course! Not enough caffeine when I read it initially, clearly!
Amen!! McConnell is a monster. How many middle fingers can I throw at him??!
I hate McConnell as much as I hate Trump. He is an evil, evil man.
He truly is a vile and vindictive monster. As soon as he televised on national tv that he would block any and all of a Obama’s legislation or when he blocked Obamas official responsibility to replace Scalia after he died, I realized he was evil to the core. How does he keep getting re-elected?
I meant to say that Obama had every legal right to replace Scalia after his death since he still had about 10 months.
Same.
Trump has done a lot of visible damage. McConnell does a lot of his behind the scenes.
I think they’re both evil, and I don’t use that word lightly.
Completely agree. McConnell is scum.
But building part of a fence next to Mexico was so much more important than a mere “pandemic.” Because I’d rather live among killer viruses than Mexicans, am I right?
I didn’t even read the article. He did leave a plan but you dumbasses disbanded the office that handles stuff like pandemic response.
Um, Trump threw away what the Obama team did leave, so what difference could it possibly make if it should have been bigger? I’ll tell you who should shut his mouth is this sick, evil, snake, traitor, McConnell. I got a bottle of champagne with this (i have no word i can use here that would get through) name on it, I can tell you that. And I CANNOT wait to pop it open.
When that breaking news happens, it’s going to be a fine day.
❤️❤️❤️
Moscow Mitch, please shut up and go away and take conman 45 with you. We are exhausted with the games played by the deplorables .
The voters in Kentucky love Mitch McConnell, and they aren’t tired of him. That’s why he wins. He’s playing to his base the way that Trump plays to his. They now have the same base.
This isn’t a Trump problem or a McConnell problem; it’s an America problem. Education has been gutted, and many people here are superstitious and don’t think. They react. All we can hope for is that the virus that red state voters want to ignore gets enough of them and overwhelms their thin medical preparedness to the point that they finally get that their desire to shrink government makes no sense. Apparently older voters are polling that they don’t like Trump anymore, but we will really know in November.
Right now, McConnell and Trump have enough plausible deniability to live on that Trump could take the White House again.
I want to throw up, but it’s important to be pragmatic about this shit.
I am so glad that you explained the admiration for McConnell since I can not for the life of me figure it out. He is such a vile creature. I bet he chose that state to represent given the level of education and rampant racism undercurrent. And you are absolutely right, that this America’s problem. We have to change the course before it becomes a point of no return and we aren’t far from that either.
Please encourage everyone to vote and become involved in your local chapters.
Not all Kentuckians like this thing or vote for him. Unfortunately, not many show up to vote in KY. This allows scum like MM to get elected. I live in a county that votes blue primarily, but know people that support the Trumps and turtle faces of the world (which I know is offensive to turtles-I’m sorry). They spew Fox News, Twitter, FB, etc. propaganda like the bots want them to do. I’m so disgusted that Kentucky is identified by this deplorable thing because there are some good, ethical, moral, open-minded people that live here.
He actually isn’t all that popular in Kentucky. His approval rating is 34% and his disapproval rating is 52%. I think a lot of Kentuckians think he ignores their state. I don’t know how he gets reelected.
He is popular in KY for the same reason Trump is popular in the US, their supporters are just like them! They don’t listen to facts, figures or educated people, they hate educated people. Every single Trump supporter I know has at least one, if not many of Trump’s traits. They are either racist, sexist, entitled or feel as if they aren’t where they “should” be according to their vision for themselves, and blame everyone else for their position in life. I just hope to God there are more of us than them come November!
Going after Obama will be a very stupid reelection plan. Also he is running against Biden so maybe they should focus on that. Either way I believe there will be a GOP bloodbath in November regardless of how hard they try to make it for people of color to vote.
As a person of color, I will climb over broken glass, a swamp filled with snakes and any other obstacles they try to throw at me, to vote against trump. And I know many other POC and reformed republicans who will do the same.
May your Higher Power bless you and keep you safe all the days of your life, and more. @IamMimi….we NEED you, we need your committment, and we are all grateful …
OMG…………….I LOVE what you say here!
I am with you 100%.
I thankfully can vote by mail, but if not, I too would risk going out in it to vote in November.
In states like Kentucky, going after Obama is how you win. I just hope that these voters are so impacted by COVID-19 that they get shaken out of their racism and anti government thinking. That’s all we’ve got at this point in addition to getting Democrats to get off of our asses to vote. Black folks vote. If we see a repeat of three years ago, we need to understand that our own people don’t believe in democracy and authoritarianism will take over.
Their gummy mouthed brainless base will probably perish from the virus (I want mah rights to no masks and tests! Screw the vaccine!) so seriously by November someone else can win.
Please also get young people to cast mail-in ballots or out to vote. Discuss with them how critical their vote is in November. Together we can effect a change and get the blowhard out of office. They are voting for their future. I think that the majority of young voters are much more informed about the world they inhabit than we (baby boomers) were, and they deserve the respect we frequently did not get at their age. Our power comes from numbers.
Isn’t it genius, though, of Obama to step in now, and get Dumpty to go after him? It will only invigorate Obama supporters, that otherwise might stay home, to vote for Biden. It also takes the heat off of Biden, some of which may or may not be deserved. As far as voter suppression, we have to play dirty to beat the GOP at their own game. Register as a Republican. You can vote subversively to thwart their darling candidates during primaries, and you will not be purged from eligible voter rolls (as only seems to happen to registered democrats) Its a win-win if millions of democrats do it.
I’m glad that former Obama staffer dropped facts, hopefully people will see it and maybe the news cover that, but my hope is low.
#MoscowMitch should not even speak President Obama’s name.
Seriously. I was seeing red when I saw his comments. I don’t know how the Obamas (and Hillary) keep their sanity.
Yeah, this made my blood boil. He truly is not fit to speak Obama’s name. Where is a bolt of lightening when you need it?
If I fib a bit I feel guilty for days(or more)afterward. How do these people live with themselves?
Yes, they are so in love with power or so believe that the ends justify the means. I almost find it sociopathic. That was a straight-faced lie for political gain.
What the actual heck. This is a blatant lie. Republicans are exhausting. This timeline is exhausting. I feel like I’m always outraged. And it’s freaking exhausting.
Also I don’t know how we come back from this… Will all future republican administrations just blatantly lie? Is this acceptable to them now? Is this their modus operandi for the rest of our lives?
God. I miss the Obamas so much. The sh!t they have to deal with is insane. After the atrocious Twitterstorm this weekend, with “people” (using that word loosely) calling the former First Lady all kinds of names, questioning her gender, etc, it made me wonder: does she still believe that when others go low, we go high? I’d love to hear her take on this, three years into the Trump administration…
(Also, if I feel exhausted by all this, I can’t even imagine how tired they must feel.)
That’s so terrible for Michelle, but she has a husband who adores her and she’s also very loved.
That is a good point. They have love and strong family connections and humor and warmth and compassion and deep, genuine affection, all things the Trump family has clearly never had.
Which is more than they can say for Melania, who didn’t even get a “happy Mother’s Day” from the turd in the White House.
gawd, that whole “michelle is a man!” bit is SO tiresome. like, it was shocking and outrageous…IN 2008. Now when I see it, it’s just like “oh, that again? um…OK, I guess? if that’s really all you have…” like, they expect the “libtards” to get all angry and shouty and stuff, and it never elicits a response when I see it on political threads these days.
And the Penis they give her is three times the size of anything any of them have or could ever dream of having.
Intelligent people will consider the source. As a tall and muscular female it was imperative that I grew a thick skin to survive when I was quite young – I can relate to Michelle Obama. She does not engage ignorant blabbermouths, and fortunately she’s a shining example her daughters can emulate.
Mitch McConnell is what my father would call a papuga (parrot), without an original thought in his little head.
She gives her current take on it in Becoming, it’s very interesting. Try and catch it on Netflix. She basically says, “I try”. But she says it in a very funny way. And then she goes on to explain that both she and her husband felt that, in their positions at the time, they had a responsibility to go high. Also Ruby is so right. Michelle Obama is the beloved wife of a former two term President of the United States, and he doesn’t have a wandering zipper. Do you know how many of the people who make fun of her can say they have that kind of marriage? None. I think a lot of white women hate her for it.
Hey Darla. I am a white woman and I LOVE Michelle Obama. Like LOVE her. I read her book when it came out and now my 12 year old is reading it too. MO is a masterclass in dignity and intelligence and way too good for mudslingers. Go high…
As an almost translucent white woman, Michelle is my favorite public figure ever. But I do agree with Darla, something about a smart, beautiful, confident and happy black woman make a lot of white people angry. And that f**king sucks. So it’s our job to stand up for these women every chance we get. (not saying you don’t Jan, just in general).
White woman here, too, and Michelle Obama is one of my idols. I read her college thesis (I know, I am weird) and admired her perspective. Also bought her book.
The only white women who hate Michelle Obama are all rabid Trump supporters who are the most racist, vile, ignorant, hypocritical beings on the planet.
Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” is on Netflix in the US right now. I watched it yesterday and it made me cry. She touches on that “when they go low, we go high” stuff in it. Worth a watch-but it will make you long for the days of a kind, intelligent family in the White House…when we had HOPE for a better future.
I made it 2 minutes into Becoming (the documentary) before I was sobbing.
Every time I hear Barack or Michelle Obama speak, I get teary eyed, just remembering back to when I had so much respect and comfort in knowing our President was doing his job to protect and defend this country.
I don’t really follow US politics, but even I know there was a Pandemic response unit under the Obama administration.
And for someone from Trump’s administration to call someone else classless; only certain people are allowed to be crude and offensive – it’s free speech. But if the wrong person speaks out then it’s classless.
And to say he had 8 years – Trump had 4!
Do you guys think that all this deflecting responsibility is going to catch up with them or are their base too strong?
The intelligent among the people who make up Trump’s base are getting tired of the deflection. I know a few people who voted for him (with whom I don’t associate) very uncertainly at the time (2016). They will not make the same mistake this time. However, it’s the followers who are like sheep – blindly following him, unable to use their brains to think for themselves, loyal to a fault, and too lazy to dig deep enough to read facts – that scare me. Their numbers are great and spread out. Conversely, there are enough people in the US who are (literally) sick and tired of having a leaderless government. It’s up to them to get off their butts and vote so Trump can be defeated.
There was also a Coronavirus early detection program under Obama, started in 2009. Trump cancelled it in 2019, about 3 months before the covid19 outbreak. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/03/trump-scrapped-pandemic-early-warning-program-system-before-coronavirus
LOLOLOLOLOL
Y’all have been in power for almost four years. Time to take some damn responsibility!
“Y’all have been in power for almost four years. Time to take some damn responsibility!”
FOR REAL. it’s like they’re saying “Obama didn’t tell us what to do!” oh, you’re such idiots that you’re waiting for the previous prez, who you think was the worst, to give you step by step instructions?!..you’re mad because he didn’t tell you how to handle it, 3+ years out?
“he shouldn’t talk about us but he also didn’t tell us what to do.” GFY, you traitorous turtle.
it’s a completely laughable excuse to anyone with maturity and a brain, but 45’s cult followers will lap it up and be like “yeah, Obamagate – lock him up!”
The main focus of this administration has been to dismantle any Obama-era policies. Now they are whining that he didn’t spoon feed them?
Suz, RIGHT?! The hypocrisy is STAGGERING.
Well actually, Obama DID tell them what to do and how to handle it and his people held exercises with the Trump people and told them what to do and how to handle it. At 12:01 pm on January 21, 2017 Trump and his people threw Obama’s 69 page handbook in the trash.
As far as the “we go high, they go low” situation, Barack & Michelle Obama know that as black people working/going to school in a white arena, black people cannot do the same things white people do. Black people CAN NOT do the same things white people do…especially if you’re “the first”. If Michelle or Barack had popped off, they would’ve been branded as angry, ghetto, uncouth, out of control etc.
As a result of the Obamas going high, Trump & his merry band of idiots look like the angry foaming at the mouth degenerates they are.
Right!? Even if Obama didn’t leave them a game plan (which he clearly did), they’ve had YEARS and YEARS to come up with one.
They were too busy attacking immigrants and giving tax breaks to the wealthy that we couldn’t afford then.
I’d really love to smack Republicans’ heads together and yell ‘80,000 DEAD! GROW UP!’ but what good would it do? American CBers: do you think there’s any possibility of a civil war?
I do if they get in again, and it will be them that starts it….and let’s remember it’s them that likely have a house full of guns and ammo…it scares me deep down in my bones
Yes. If you think Trump will leave his post quietly you are kidding yourself. You think Mitch will happily give up his power position if Republicans lose control of the Senate?
Mitch has already demonstrated his disregard for your country’s laws when he blocked Obama legally replacing Scalia. America doesn’t have rules anymore, and the three branches of government barely function. Trump is blatantly trying to obstruct voters. Normal countries don’t have these issues, and you should be very worried.
My two cents-
No. History has shown that the people will put up with unbearable situations until there is literally nothing to eat.
There are a few things you need for a revolution (in the sense of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, which were strictly internal and against the powers within their own nations). First, there are the economic conditions. There is nothing to eat. People have few material possessions. There is gross economic inequality between the classes. There is little to no social mobility, and no avenue for change. We are getting there – the pandemic is putting some inequalities in sharp relief – but people still cling to the “American Dream.” They still believe that in the United States, you might start as a nobody, but with hard work and a bit of luck, you’ll become a Somebody.
Second, you need an Idea. Or it’s more accurate to say ideology. People do not want to fight for things to go back to the way they were. They want to fight with the conviction that they are fighting for what is Right and Good. That this will make life better for their children, for the future, for humanity. We do not have any such idea – if anything, people are disillusioned by democracy, consider communism to be radical and unfeasible, are not going to accept anarchy.
Third, you need a leader. And when I say leader, I mean that you need a zealot. You need someone who is charismatic, someone who truly believes in what they’re saying and has devoted their whole life to the Cause. This person must inspire others to sacrifice their lives, everything they have, for the greater good. Not only that, but this person must be able to hold together groups of people of different demographics and backgrounds and unite them under a single banner. Leaders of revolutions are a strange creatures.
We don’t have any of these conditions yet. There will probably be pockets of violence, but not a civil war.
Why are reporters still so polite? I know they can’t yell at the guy but … why not, actually? I know they’re professionals but covering his “press conferences” in this manner is leading nowhere. That thing on ABC was embarrassing. They all know how he will answer certain questions and yet the follow-up are either ridiculous or just not there. WTF? I could’ve come up with a thousand responses to “I’ll be honest, uh, I have a lot of things going on” Why is that guy even getting paid?
David Muir was embarrassingly bad during that interview. I was yelling at him because of all the soft-ball questions. He was coming across as apologetic for having to question the Orange Turd at all. SMH
They’ll lose their press pass. Usually I would say that having soft ball questions is better than no questions at all, but in the case of a narcissist, who needs attention and a platform to feel validated, having no one show up to his press conferences would probably be more effective in crushing his ego.
Classic government, blame the person who isn’t there.
Classic loser, you mean.
WT actual F*@&. they have clearly foregotten about EBOLA. A pandemeic that OBAMA worked with the pandemic response office, global leaders, and WHO to contain. And managed to keep it just about completely out of the US. There were THREE cases reported in the US. One was a traveler who somehow got through airport screenings ans was able to enter the US at DFW. He was quarantined immediatly. He died from Ebola. The other two cases were the two nurses who treated him and quarantined with him. They recovered.
But I guess that was just an “african disease” eh?
@CaitlinsMom Re Ebola: of course it was an ‘African disease’ to someone like Trump, to whom blackness = criminality or necessary subservience. He has a HUGE history of racism and problematic outbursts. He’ll NEVER be able to get over the fact that an African-American occupied ‘his’ office for two terms. He’s one of those people who thinks Gone With the Wind is an enjoyable representation of how society ‘should’ be. Though he’s not fit to shine Obama’s shoes (let alone be in the same room as him) he thinks Barack should be giving his penny loafers a good spit and polish. The entire Republican party might as well rename itself the NSDAP.
Yeah…..no. They’ve truly perfected projection. It’d be so funny if they weren’t in charge of our country. They’re so damn comfortable with telling lies, and their base is so completely void of independent thought. I don’t understand anyone who only believes information emerging from one source.
It’s truly mind-boggling how they can say things like this without a whiff of irony or shame. And that’s the problem, how we ended up here. Dems have largely played by the rules of civil society while Republicans have ignored them.
McConnell is incapable of telling the truth about anything, especially when it comes to Obama. He has the audacity to call Pelosi an obstructionist after what he did to Merritt Garland.
The Senate Majority Leader is a chosen position. The Republican Senators could remove him from it and replace him with another of their number at any time. They choose not to do so and they need to be reminded of that this November. If they won’t remove him, we will remove them and they will have no choice.
All I can say is LOL.
Republicans are so transparent in their attempts to rewrite history.
Like, Obama gave you a training and you still gutted the virus response when you came into office.
And, you’ve had 3.5 years to fix it. But instead they focused on racist policies like the wall and migrant caravans.
This is what happens when a huge proportion of the population only watch Fox News and other conservative outlets that regurgitate everything this administration says and do not hold them to account for any of their lies or omissions. The Republicans say whatever they want and they know their base will believe it. Couple this with an aggressive campaign to suppress the vote, stirring up anti-Chinese and anti-Immigrant feeling, continuing vilification of journalists and claims of rampant vote rigging by democrats. This is the Republican Strategy for the November election. I honestly don’t see how this will not end up with violence, if Trump loses, or a head-long dive into autocracy if he wins. Watching America from across the pond it is quite heart breaking.
That the people of his state keep re-electing this lying racist traitor is one thing (and maybe they’ll finally fire him this November) but the fact that the Republican party chooses to have him lead the Senate is another. They could vote today to replace him as Senate Majority leader. They choose not to do so. This is who they ALL are and they all need to be told that the American people have had it.
Off to donate to Jaime Harrison right now! I don’t understand how Moscow Mitch is still in office, but I’m happy to help his opponent. So angry 😵
Please do donate to Jaime Harrison, but he’s running again Lindsey Graham. Amy McGrath is Yertle’s opponent.
Thank you for the correction!
You’re welcome!😊 EVERY Democrat running against EVERY Republican needs to win to at least start the fumigation of our government.
I just made donations to both candidates. Thank you for highlighting their campaigns.
Riiiiiiiight, McConnell, riiiiiiight. No one believes your falsehoods. Y’all got rid of everything in place to battle a pandemic, plain and simple. Slash-and-cut government strategies don’t work.
Uhhh no. We shouldn’t debate how Obama’s pandemic response was good. Why? Because he created a literal PANDEMIC OFFICE. Yes a literal pandemic response team that Trump disbanded in 2018. So, no we dont get to debate his “response” to pandemics considering that jot only did he plan ahead but it was HIS team that handled the Ebola pandemic. And did a fantastic job doing so.
(Deleted because I posted under the wrong article.)
Ronald’s tweet should be replayed by Dems as a loop video. Along with I take no responsibility, covid is a hoax, Melania’s I don’t care, and inject bleach utterings. No need to overanalyse and put forth rational intellectual arguments or videos because the audience can’t digest this !
The real hook is that Moscow Mitch thinks Obama’s comment is classless. Is his reference point the classy comments that come out of the pu$$y grabber’s mouth? Is up down and down up or what?
He doesn’t actually *think* that particular comment was classless, it’s just that either:
a) Moscow Mitch thinks any public comment by a person of color criticizing a white Republican is classless or
b) Moscow Mitch’s overlords instructed him to *call* Obama’s remark classless, in a gross demonstration of GOP projection ie NO Puppet YOU’RE the Puppet! and an appeal to their bigoted classless, anti-intellectual base.
Also there’s the whole Republican GOP Snowflake Syndrome in which if anyone criticizes anything done by a Republican POTUS it’s automatically classless, anti-American, punishable by death, whereas Republicans can storm statehouses, federal lands, and bomb courthouses, organize “put the White Back in the White House” gatherings and tear down anything and everything about a Democratic POTUS INCLUDING denying them their CONSTITUTIONALLY DESCRIBED RIGHT TO OFFER SCOTUS NOMINEES FOR CONFIRMATION, and that’s just Georgia-Peachy Keen Heroes of America Material.
They hypocrisy, bigotry, greed, profiteering thinskinned sludge of these traitors is abhorrent.
Also, I would like to take McConnell’s comments about Obama being quiet and not commenting and toss them back at every right wing snowflake that yells “CENSORSHIP” and “FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF SPEECH” when their hate filled, violence inducing speech gets shut down.
And also at the folks in the Trump campaign, transition team who were actively undermining the current government of the US, critical US foreign policy and the sitting President by using back channels to assure Putin that US sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine should be ignored, because Trumpy was going to reverse them all.
Yeah the “classless” thing isn’t really about class.
Biggest traitor in modern US history. He makes my soul sad!
McConnell calling anyone else “a little bit classless” is ludicrous all by itself, but straight-up lying about the information and resources the Obama administration left for dealing with a pandemic is truly next-level mendacity. Not to mention that Trump has been in power for THREE YEARS, but nothing bad that happens can ever be Dear Leader’s fault in the GOP’s eyes.
It’s time for him and all the others to remove their lips from DUMPS a**!!!!
Imagine saying & actually believing Obama is classless. I swear these ppl are living on another planet.
How could have Obama predicted a pandemic three years after he left office?
These republicans are insane and will do anything to hold onto power. I hope they are absolutely crushed in November.
Good old Mitch should embrace the face mask.so it could hold up is bird like triple chin.
Merrick Garland, Turtle.
Merrick Garland.
I am also classless. Like I always refer to Lara as Eric Trump’s first wife, because you know that there is another carefully crafted blonde waiting in the factory showroom.
Honestly I’m so sick and tired of this entire administration’s lies, ineptitude and insanity. They have blood on their filthy lying hands. I never thought I would actually say out loud that I’m embarrassed to be an American. I normally never wish harm on anyone, but if the virus rips through the White House senior staff & takes them out… Not too many tears will be shed in my house
Mitch’s response is white-baity racism, the red meat of his Klan. He said nothing of Bush being “classless” when he made a video about uniting and not dividing during a pandemic. For Moscow Mitch’s purposes, “classless” is a signifier of being non-white. Cleverly, the cave dweller white deplorables have “class” in this definition and the Nobel-prize winning, dignified, brilliant former real President does not. In short, fuck you, Mitch. I hope to see him voted out of office real soon. Also there’s a petition introduced by Tom and Rita Hanks about legislation getting the right to vote during a pandemic. We need to pass it otherwise only twenty-four rednecks in Kentucky (Mitch’s esteemed state) will determine our next president.
The nerve of this guy to call Obama classless when he has been supporting treasonous disgusting monster for he past 3.5 years…
Maybe Obama caused the pandemic while in the form of his sinister alter-ego known only as Wuhan-bat.
My response to McConnell: shut up treasonous traitor. We see you – the real you. You don’t give a damn about the little people. You’re no patriot. You’re just one of too many global corporate bitches.
++1
Mitchell McConnell you are a loser, and a money stealer…..STFU and just go away. You wish you were a quarter of the man Obama is!!!!
Damn. That’s enough internet for me now.
That melty turtle face (is the face going to collapse soon from all that lying) should STFU. Wasn’t he the one to tell Obama to keep quiet over the Russian manipulation known as the election of 2016?
Obama can say whatever he wants now. He wasn’t the one who threw away the pandemic playbook and fired the crew.
Although I do have to say there are idiots who believe him. Someone on Facebook told me Obama left the shelves bare of masks so Anus mouth had nothing. I told her that was three years ago and if it’s true, why didn’t anus mouth replenish the stock within those three years? Also, I told her it wasn’t true because he sold our stock to China (and probably pocketed the money). I told her to build critical thinking skills and not to watch Fox. She never responded haha. Sorry I’m done with these mindless meat puppets.
McConnell is a liar. Note also how the GOP are helping Trump create a new, Kremlin-inspired propaganda alternative to FOX news, with moves like Lara Trump as “news anchor” and also the Victoria’s Secret-style OAN “reporters” showing up at Trump press conferences. All these evil-doers are in it for the long haul. They’re gunning to destroy democracy.
Yep. I am absolutely putting away money with the intent of getting the hell out of this country if he gets back into power along with a Republican senate in November. People who have the resources or connections to get out of this country should do so while they can. We need to stop pretending they aren’t exactly what they pretend to be and the worst could absolutely happen.
A blatant lie, but even if it wasn’t –
YOU HAD FOUR F*CKING YEARS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. YOU HAD CONTROL OF EVERY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT FOR TWO OF THOSE. You had control of both houses of Congress for eight! If you think something was done wrong, then f*cking fix it! I’m so beyond tired of this childish blame game they keep playing, but most especially, I am tired of the people who vote for them. “Obama this” “Obama that” “Democrats this.” “Hillary but.” Everything and anything but who is actually in power!
This unbelievable lack of adult perspective of maddening. It’s not the job of everybody else to make this job easy for you. You are responsible for the way you vote. You are responsible for the actions of the people you vote into office, just like I was responsible for everything not great that happening under Obama. I just absolutely cannot with this movement of people who want all of the power and none of the responsibility. Just the absolute definition of end stage capitalistic bullsh*t.
This mother*&%$er.
So I don’t know if it’s just lighting in the first photo but Moscow Mitch looks hypoxic. His lips are dark and his hands look mottled. Are we sure he doesn’t have COVID?
Oh God I hope he does have it.
🤮
The Republican Survivalist Playbook has run out of pages. There really wasn’t even a page to begin with. So their sheer desperation shows in their continual use of a single strategy: deny whatever they’re accused of. Just up and say, nope. Didn’t happen, didn’t say that, not our fault. Just repeat over and over unh uh. It doesn’t really matter to them or their supporters if they’re believed or not, just that they get away with it. When you have no moral compass what does it matter that you lie? I mean, when we all lie, and we all do, it is to avoid consequences, or to deflect responsibility, to try and get away with something. And Republicans have a huuuuuuuuuuge no-no they need to get away with. And that is giving Trump a shot at running the country. He was unproven, unvetted, a conman that conned the cons. He hasn’t been the face of the brand they hoped for, but they can’t admit defeat now. They’re all in, do or die. And they hope the deep divide of right vs. left will sustain them through another election. Trust me, this administration is reeling from the fires they have to constantly put out, but they’d rather live in the embers than let the other side win. In fact I think they’re determined to leave ashes for the Democrats rather than admit they were wrong about Trump. The Republicans are the epitome of living the seven deadly sins. It is simply not in their nature to concede. It is so clear what Republicans have done and will do to keep the White House. We must stop expecting a fair fight.
I’m shocked McConnell has never called Obama “uppity” outright. You just know that that’s what he’s little turtle-brain is thinking.
