Closing Thought–08May19
The GOP is doing what it does best…LIES!
They need to spend more time trying to govern than trying to belittle everyone that does not agree with them.
With that said the newest BS coming from the Senate’s leader is just a continuation of the comedy they call “leadership”.
Mitch McConnell summed up his view of the Mueller report in two words on Tuesday: “case closed.” The Senate majority leader criticized Democrats for wanting to continue related investigations and issued a plea to “finally end this Groundhog Day spectacle,” reports NBC News. “Remember, Russia set out to sow discord, to create chaos in American politics and undermine confidence in our democracy,” McConnell said. “But on that front, given the left’s total fixation on delegitimizing the president—the president Americans chose—and shooting any messenger who tells them inconvenient truths, I’m afraid the Russians hardly needed to lift a finger.”
This is pretty much total bullshit.
I have not heard one person in Congress say they want to overturn the 2016 election….they may believe the he is a criminal and a corrupting influence but they know he is the president…..especially the Dems…..So Mitch is just spreading manure the way he always does……
But Mitchy Boy did what all GOPers do….blame everything on Obama…..
On the Russian angle, McConnell also got in a dig at former President Obama. “Maybe stronger leadership would have left the Kremlin less emboldened,” he said. “Maybe tampering with our democracy wouldn’t have seemed so very tempting.”
My one question is…has Mitch read the report? The entire unredacted report? (My guess is he has not and will not for he is a COWARD)
Silly political theater…but then I expect that from politicians…ALL politicians
Was it over when the Benghazi investigation found nothing? Was it nothing about the Clinton emails? These were the same were the same things they are accusing the Dems of doing…..but you see the GOP does stuff it is for the good of the country (read party) and not so when the Dems do something similar……that is as simple as I can break this stupidity down.
The GOP no longer has a soul…..not all it is the enabler of an imperialistic presidency….PERIOD!
Turn The Page!
Now the royal baby has been named, we might get some other news over here… 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
I just heard it is Archie? chuq
Yes it is. Definitely unexpected! 🙂
I would expect a more regal name….LOL chuq
The Republicans of late have proved over and over that they have no idea how to govern. To be honest, I’m not sure they have any interest in governing. They have no ideas, no solutions for the American people. They only understand taking things away from the regular folks and giving as much as possible to the wealthiest. They now have a president that feels exactly the same way. Which is why they support him.
I hate to agree but I do….the GOP has become a party of cowards….chuq
Reblogged this on Ned Hamson's Second Line View of the News.
Thanx for Ping and re-blog….chuq
Off course, the rebel GOP party did nothing to help that leader project strength since they balked and forced silly political maneuvering to break through to get anything passed in Congress, wasting his time with their do-nothingness and obstructionism! McConnell will go down in history as a shameful obstructionist, not an effective Senate leader who worked in a bipartisan emvironment that served the people, not some decaying party. He is despicable! (His maneuvering also is why I left the Republican party and became an independent early in Obama’s first term. And I thought he was a mess! Then Trump came into the picture, assuring me that leaving that party was prescient!)
I do not see the leadership of either party having the best interests of the people to their heart. They talk a good game but seldom deliver and when they do it is so watered down that it is no help at all. chuq
Exactly. That’s why I didn’t register as a Democrat when I left the Republican party.
I am still not convinced that the Dems are any better…..but I keep hoping…chuq
Plus most of the elected GOPers are cowards I say that because they only challenge when they are not running…..that is a cowardly way in my mind chuq
I agree. One of the Nebraska Senators, Ben Sasse, usually sounds quite sincere and principled when he talks, though I’m no supporter. Yet, when it would really count – for example not voting approval for the tax ripoff bill or some spurious candidate for a cabinet or judge position, he’s right in there with the GOP herd. Oh yeah…he’s up for re-election in 2020. In Nebraska, he is highly likely to win simply because he is Republican.
That is happening all over…it is the tribalism that we need to break…..no one deserves a place simply based on party. chuq
