Moscow Mitch
(H/T Raw Story via Skinny Dennis)
Guys, amply be-chinned Senator Mitch McConnell, the man whose life work is to destroy American democracy because he would rather corporations and plutocrats ruled us filthy peasants, was asked if he thought democracy (little d) was in danger:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says efforts spearheaded by President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election were “not good,” but he believes American democracy is currently “very solid.”
“I do think it’s an important issue. There were those who were trying to prevent the orderly transfer of power for the first time in American history … and that was not good,” McConnell said at an event in Georgetown, Kentucky, on Monday, NBC News reported.
McConnell was asked specifically about a new NBC News poll, released Sunday, that showed concerns about the state of American democracy surpassing the cost of living and the economy.
“I guess that’s had some impact on the poll … But look, I think we have a very solid democracy,” McConnell said. “I don’t think of the things that we need to worry about, I wouldn’t be worried about that one.”
So #MoscowMitch admits that he failed, or that he just needs more time to sabotage it?
Discuss amongst yourselves, but I’m not exactly enthused that The Turtle thinks he still has work to do.

When I untangle the multiple negatives in that pseudostatement, I understand that he A: Doesn’t think about things that real citizens worry about, and B: Isn’t worried that our democracy is endangered.

I noticed he went from saying things ‘WE’ need to be worried about to ‘I’ wouldn’t be worried about that one. Well of course HE wouldn’t be worried about it, it’s exactly what HE wants.

Why would NBC ask him, of all people, about the state of “American democracy.”
A compelling case can be made that this sonofabitch has done far more damage than even TFG. See
Mitch McConnell greatly damaged US democracy with quiet, chess-like moves.
Why didn’t the NBC idiots ask him about this?

I’m sure he’d prefer a bloodless coup.

He is a scumbag through and through, “and scumbags see the Judge on Mondays.”
I mangled some dialog from “Robocop” there at the end because it sounds right to me. And because mcconnel is a sumbag through and through.
