Robinson Believes McConnell Is Being Strategic By Pushing For A Long Impeachment Trial | Deadline
No account Mcconnell gets no props for nothing.
I give him props for this. It really shows how there are real politicians and then there are those who grab as much power as they can and be shown to be ineffectual even if they control the entire government.
I bet that we don’t even get the Covid relief package in the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency. The moment I saw Pelosi push for a vote on impeachment in the house, I guessed this. They don’t want to accomplish anything and those who do, don’t wield enough power to force the issues.

oh good
Now is the soon to be minority leader’s last best chance to end things with the soon to be ex-president and take custody of the best remaining parts of the damaged GOP.
14 foreign people like your comment. Good for you

Do not trust McConnell to do anything but enrich himself, lie, and wield power for the sole mindless purpose of remaining ‘relevant’.
Amazon own Eugene Robinson..you ok with that..just asking?
Just like every other career politician.
@Peter C What does that have to do with what I wrote? Are you a bot?
@Peter C

China Mitch collecting millions he is corrupt should be kicked out of office.
@Glenn Kent
Q: How do you milk a sheep?
A: Tell them the election was stolen and ask for donations.
Q: How do you herd sheep?
A: Tell them to storm the Capitol and Trump will remain president. Trump supporters are the very definition of sheeple and patsies.
@Hunter Roberts nonsense, Conservatives freed the slaves and promoted civil rights bills.
Moscow Mitch?
True

I hope so but, Mitch McConnell will only do the right thing if it also good for him.
He and Trump are just different sides of the same coin.
Nicely summed up

Correct. Mitch is a creature of habit. Self preservation. Let his colleagues stew awhile & then purge Trump & Trumpism from the GOP.
@warpedjaffas1 our goal is to make the republican party obsolete so that we can make the democratic party the rightful conservative party.
@Ryan Walsh this is a ridiculous but you go for it champ! 🤣
@warpedjaffas1 obviously not happening soon, but we have time on our side. Every consecutive generation has been getting much more left leaning. I’d give it 30 years
@Ryan Walsh try 8 yrs. Once the masses taste it they’ll never go back. Same happens globally, once a citizenry truly embraces democratic reform even the most fervourant right winger will not go back. Conservatism is dying along with its mainstay, religion. Its a good thing. Reliance on ancient myths can get people killed, lots of them and is antithetical to humans who are progressive due to evolution. God had nothing to do with me sending you this message on YouTube. Human ingenuity did. Thinking otherwise is for the feeble minded.
@Ryan Walsh so basically you want to be racist
I see you John, low key dropping that Mandalorian reference!
I have spoken!
I agree with Mitch….. “For Once!” LOL -When we know who was possibly running “Pre-Insurrection Tours” needs to go to jail – do not pass go and do not collect $200!
mitch ain’t sweating it because they were calling out for pence & pelosi…back in his shell he goes.😅😂😭😪😴
This guy on 2x speed sounds just like Seth Rogan
McConnell as always, contemplating personal and political expediency without concern for the health of our nation or it’s citizens. Disgusting.
McConnell has no balls. He doesn’t stand for anything.
Oh No Mitch absolutely does stand for making money. Mitch isn’t democrat or republican he’s whatever puts the money in his pocket.

Jeez I hope so but I don’t trust Moscow Mitch as far as I can throw him and I’m mighty strong. 😏
“McConnell is just slow walking this.”
That’s what turtles do; they walk slow.🤷🏼♀️
Turtles gonna turtle.
Way to go, Suzy Q.

“The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind finely.”
Uh no. That has OBVIOUSLY been coopted in Amarxica.
McConnell is one of those souls that believe he’ll live forever and those kind usually go really quick
Bought off cowards…all of them…this is so abhorrent it literally makes me sick
45 hours – 14 minutes – & 46 seconds but whose counting
That’s “Senate Minority Leader McConnell” , thanks to Trump.
Whatever his motivation, Moscow Mitch is almost as much a traitor as Trump.
