Everything . . .

. . . I do . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/after-trump-impeachment-vote-house-nancy-pelosi-democrats-have-one-ncna1104691)

[Senate Majority leader Mitch] McConnell declared: "Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with the White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can." . . . In an impeachment trial, the Senate essentially acts as the jury, while the chief justice of the United States is the presiding judge. So McConnell's comments are essentially the equivalent of having a courtroom trial at which the defendant is coordinating with the jury before the proceeding even begins.. . . According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, more than 7 in 10 Americans think top Trump administration officials, such as acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former national security adviser John Bolton, should be allowed to testify before Congress. That includes 64 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of independents. . . A bipartisan consensus like that is extremely rare. . ."

The Fact . . .

. . . that the ancestors of both Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell ("none of us currently living are responsible" for what happened 150 years ago) were slave owners brings the point home that we, as a society, must seriously consider real, meaningful reparations. We are all accessories.

Movin' . . .

(from https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/440068-mcconnell-time-to-move-on-from-trump-impeachment-talk)
". . . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday hit back at calls from some Democrats to start impeachment proceedings against President Trump, saying it's "time to move on." . . . "Well, look, I think it's time to move on. . ."

'MOVE ON'????!!!!!! Tell that to 45, MITCH. He obviously does not understand.

Paraphrasing . . .

. . . "The turtle doth protest too much, methinks" (to the proposal to make Election Day a federal holiday)

(from https://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/427683-mcconnell-blasts-house-bill-that-makes-election-day-a-federal-holiday?fbclid=IwAR1QYFif_xXKLXAZdApXJgJaCFp4yeJCpBb-emRrXsWdU4cX190UDuvD03Q)
". . . “Just what America needs, another paid holiday and a bunch of government workers being paid to go out and work for I assume ... our colleagues on the other side, on their campaigns,” McConnell added. . . McConnell has repeatedly lashed out at House Democrats' anti-corruption bill, known as H.R. 1, as a “political power grab” and has pledged that it will go nowhere in the GOP-controlled Senate. . . "

Frustration . . .

While there is nothing I'd like to see more than our government working properly, resolving issues of importance to the American people, in a non-partisan fashion for the betterment of all, I fear that this is, in actuality, impossible. The partisan divide, which began with the presidency of Barack Obama (read McConnell: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.") and continues today, in an even more toxic fashion (if that is imaginable), with the presidency of Donald J. Trump. The reasons for the current situation's dire prognosis are varied and many, but the point is that we do our country and our population no service by perpetuating the current political situation. Both 'sides' must either work together on government (and not waste precious time choosing sides about petty, superficial topics brought to our attention by small, superficial personality flaws) or we must take necessary action for which provision was made in the U.S. Constitution and simply 'get back to business.'

Is This. . .

. . . something you REALLY want to brag about, Mitch?

(https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-insists-he-very-stable-genius-amid-questions-over-mental-n835191)
. . . "From a right-of-center point of view, 2017 was the most consequential in the many years that I've been here in Congress," McConnell said. . .

Serious Seriousness???. . .

(https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/top-democrats-pull-out-white-house-meeting-after-trump-tweet-n824556)
". . . Trump went to Capitol Hill for a separate meeting with GOP senators. After that half-hour closed-door session, McConnell took another shot at his Democratic counterparts. "It never occurred to me that I could just say to President Obama, 'I'm not showing up,'" he told reporters. "I mean, that strikes me as a lack of seriousness about the matter before us." . . . "

SERIOUSNESS???

"So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!"

"Looks like another great day for the Stock Market. Consumer Confidence is at Record High. I guess somebody likes me (my policies)!"

"Great, and we should boycott Fake News CNN. Dealing with them is a total waste of time! "

"At least 24 players kneeling this weekend at NFL stadiums that are now having a very hard time filling up. The American public is fed up with the disrespect the NFL is paying to our Country, our Flag and our National Anthem. Weak and out of control!"

"The good news is that their ratings are terrible, nobody cares! "

"We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!"

"Wow, even I didn’t realize we did so much. Wish the Fake News would report! Thank you."

"...LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!"

Consummate . . .

. . . politician . . .

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, and Senate majority leader ACTUALLY said:
“After so many years of sluggish growth, we’re finally starting to see some economic data that can provide a glimmer of hope; the uptick appears to coincide with the biggest political change of the Obama Administration’s long tenure in Washington: the expectation of a new Republican Congress. So this is precisely the right time to advance a positive, pro-growth agenda.”

During the election cycle, McConnell constantly accused the President of destroying the economy. As McConnell whined, economic conditions just kept getting better and U.S. job growth reached a 15-year high last year.

Never mind all those bothersome facts, now McConnell wants credit for the recovery’s unexpected strength. McConnell took his time to come up with this rhetorical trick. Two days before Christmas, when Americans learned that GDP growth in the third quarter of 2014 reached an 11-year high, McConnell said . . . nothing.
