Mitch McConnell: Coronavirus Response 'Requires Extraordinary Measures' | MSNBC
We’re all socialist in a crisis
Spot on.
it’s our nature. ultimately we’re still the hunter/gatherers that need each other to survive.
Show me the money, Mitch
Didn’t he just block a Democrat bill that really would’ve helped?
That was stuffed with planned parenthood funding for abortions Dems don’t care about this just an opportunity to steal money
He did because it would help Democrat’s to.🇺🇸🇵🇷
@Trueminati You got it wrong stupid Trump and his republican crook’s have the graft deal just for them butthole 🇺🇸🇵🇷
Your simple mind just can’t wrap around the fact that these Democratic bills throw all kinds of pork into their legislation I know it’s hard for simple-minded folks like you
He block a bill that helps Russia, North Korea and the Democrat Congress.It also make Obama and Hillary look like liars
Next to Trump, Moscow Mitch is possibly the most unethical and unprincipled man alive.
Wrong, it’s a dead heat. They are both as bad as it gets.
@caycug1
Are you dumb or playing dumb? James Alex Fields Jr. is no liberal. He deliberately drove a car through the crowd & ended up killing an innocent woman & injured dozens of others. He & a bunch of mass shooters inspired by Trump definitely have no brains so they have to resort to violence. I agree with you about that part. They’re definitely braindead like the rest of Trump supporters.
Barry Sutton haha haha not a chance
caycug1 how’s your 401k? You expecting a government handout?
@Barry SuttonYeah they probably will, but if Trump loses, Trump turds gonna drown in their own tears.
I DONT TRUST THIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO ANYTHING ALL THEY DO IS BLAME THE DEMOCRATS
Heather Brown Sounds like somebody i know…no no i must be hallucinating, who would ever think about the guy who blamed the je- wait a minute…
Good evening
Fellow Healthcare workers and Military both Republican and democrat. .Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
While everyone else are sitting back in the comfort of their homes hiding from Cornavirus, preparing for Armageddon, complaining, pointing fingers and giving their opinions, we are still in the trenches protecting and serving. Not all federal government employees can work from home. So think about that the next time you need to express negativity, hatred, strife, ignorance, heartless, selfish, immature, vague comments and behavior just remember that their are those of us who are risking our lives everyday for your ungrateful opinions.
Federal government employees who are NOT working from home, ALL Healthcare workers, law enforcement, EMS, Firemen, Military and others…Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
@Compete ToDefeat Trump was not taking steps, otherwise he would have screamed it at FOX news blaming democrats.
@TheNoobzoid That’s funny because there is video evidence of him being called a xenophobe and alarmist by liberals back in January and early February. How are liberals this out of touch with reality?
@Compete ToDefeat It’s not hard to catch a connector flight to another nation, then come to the US.
Hey Moscow Mitch! Show meeee the Ruples !
Hes afraid! The mortality rate has them terrified because of their age group. Now we actually may see some progress.
Careful what you wish for. This bug is known to also strike down others than just the elderly. And there is the possibility of a mutation, like seen in the Spanish Flu pandemic. The new strain of that virus struck down mostly people in the prime of their lives, less among the old and young.
@Katusov Katusov 100 milli will die of this. prolly more. then 500 million from famine.
It would a sign from god if he calls a few of those dinosaurs home.
@Tony Garcia Possibly. Yet I don’t hear yet any reports of mass infections in Africa and India yet. Densely populated areas in third world nations with poor medical systems would be hit the hardest.
@Elizabeth Porter God calls us all home, sooner or later. Many good people will also be taken by this virus.
Time to get rid of this dispicable person
#AmyMcGrath4Senate2020
@Jan Asamoah no
@Jan Asamoah get em both at the same time
Mick sharpe, you need to bow down to someone greater than yourself. Without this man, the democrats would have burned the constitution a long time ago.
@Crow Creek Outdoors Meanwhile, in reality, Trump continues to take a flaming dump on it.
I always feel like he’s laughing at the rest of us because he knows that he’s running with a ton of secret money. Extraordinary measures just means giving to the companies that donate to him.
Not only that, but he’s got one of the most uneducated electorate of anyone in the senate. It’ll be amazing if he’s voted out.
@Mister Hat
Trump’s going to win again
and the Republicans will keep the Senate and regain the House. Looney-Tune liberal heads will explode AGAIN 😁😁😁😁
@Barry Sutton Nah… You trolls are worthless.
Mister Hat And you’re a big donkey! LIYF!
Bet you believed in Russian conspiracies and flat earth theorys also what fool
ONE REASON HE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ….HE CAN’T and NEVER HAS DONE HIS JOB ….he has PILES of BILLS on his desk that just sit there for 12 years
Let me know when he gets to half the number of bills that Harry Reid left unsigned from the last administration.
Moscow mitch🇷🇺
@Dominique Hardie Mitch has 395 unsigned bills.
That’s because his job doesn’t concern the Average American, they concern the not very Average BILLIONAIRES.
Didn’t he run off for a 3 day weekend and tell other Senators to do the same? You know during the time they were negotiating bills to deal with the virus? Extraordinary measures. Sure.
He was in his home state with the loser Judge Kavanaugh looking for more lousy judges to flood the judicial bench. He knows the republican senate is doomed, so he is in a panic. He is trying to ruin our democratic norms by putting a bunch of unqualified empty headed judges into our judicial system.
Plus the taxpayers pay for these Senators to travel back and forth. They could all stay at the Trump hotel for $100.00 a night, a Sentator rate not $650.00 a night. Then they could all work on all bills together a.s.a.p. The room that has to gag together will work harder to complete their duties!
Oh, he is back from his weekend trip?!
In body only, he left everything else on hold!
This slimy python is drunk on power and will doom all of us.
He’s a turtle. A bad turtle. Ayup.
I agree ✔️
@caycug1 Ayup.
Let’s just have civil war please am ready to cut you fools lose from America
@caycug1 the gop put you in harms way when it wasnt necessary. Crazy trump wasted thousands of lives of service when he pulled out of Syria, and now when we need action he and McConnell screwed you and the health care workers. Face it or repeat it. Those are our choices.
Sh*t – Mitch was there when the Roman Empire fell.
Actually … When God said “…and there shall be light.” Ol’ Moscow Mitch flipped the switch.
Two terms should be enacted in the House and Senate!
Him and Trump keep winning and winning
Didn’t take the trumpTrolls 🧟♂️ long to find this thread.
@CD Elliot The truth hurts
@Joe Paleface – Stay tuned 🧟♂️
Translation: We’re going to take care of the real victims here, the corporations and their wealthy investors.
Cool cool. 👍
lol, if Nancy Pelosi said this same thing, I bet you would be kissing the ground she walked on.
@Jan Asamoah Nope. I don’t believe in socialism for corporations. United made $1 billion in profits last year. Boo hoo, no one is traveling right now. Bail out the workers, not the board and investors.
Mitch loves socialism, But only for his billionaire donors .
The commoners get thier brand of ultra hard nosed capitalism .
The Republicans brought the United States to a complete disaster.
And yet morons will continue to vote for them.
@caycug1 the gop put service people in harms way when it wasnt necessary. Crazy trump wasted thousands of lives of service when he pulled out of Syria, and now when we need action he and McConnell screwed us and the health care workers. Face it or repeat it. Those are our choices.
Not if you an A,merican..Trump Mitch and Barr are American heroes Saving America
@Joe Paleface laughing in your face
@Yo Mama The joke is on the left.Go get your toilet paper..My bad I’m mean tissue for all the losing and whinning
“Extraordinary measures” like get rid of the Fraud in Chief, his clown car full of yes men, and the corrupt GOP. Moscow Mitch just blocked a coronavirus relief bill. He wants to eliminate medicare and medicaid and social security. He has refused to legislate over 400 House bills…. Moscow Mitch and his wife are unquestionably corrupt.
Mitch the Turtle =Human Garbage
Mitch and Elaine both deserve to be in prison for the rest if their corrupt lives.
@caycug1 I am an Independent and probably more GOP than you are. I own guns, my own businesses, land… I served… I believe in oaths and duty but I can’t look my family in the eye and support grifters, liars, traitors, and criminals, people whose word is proven worthless while standing shoulder to shoulder w murdering white supremecists and ethno nationalists. Whats your excuse?
Some one need to put that turtle in boiling water asap
Lizard man Mitch is less trustworthy than the Corona..but that goes without saying
Much more deadly as well.
Oh there’s a special place for people like him .
It’s amazing how many feminine males and masculine females and genuine perverts are in the democRAT left wing BOWEL movement party.
