Mitch McConnell: Republican senators are the real assault victims

By Kaili Joy Gray - October 8, 2018

If Mitch McConnell was assaulted, where's his police report and corroborating evidence?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell succeeded in his effort to put the credibly accused sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court — but he can’t stop complaining.

Last week, he whined that he and his fellow Republican senators had to endure the trauma of hearing sexual assault survivors beg them not to vote for an attempted rapist. But now McConnell is upping the rhetoric — and the audacity.

“We were literally under assault,” McConnell told reporters Monday. “These demonstrators — I’m sure some of them were well meaning citizens, but many of them were obviously trained to get in our faces, to go to our homes out there, to basically almost attack us in the halls of the capitol.”

Of course, according to the standard set by McConnell, Trump, and their fellow Republicans, no assault took place unless the “victims” — Republican men of the Senate — immediately filed police reports, went to the FBI, and can provide multiple corroborating witnesses and other physical evidence.

I had to post this a day late, but I really do feel that everyday that these assholes go to work, go out to eat, anything, they should be fucking confronted and have protesters confronting these assholes. Make there life miserable, because they are making our lives miserable.........................

There are not enough "mad" emoji's to put in this thread to express my outrage.

These five right wing neo fascist libertarian justices and the libertarian senate remind me of two or five depending on there rulings by the justices are in a room raping my country while the others are outside the door waiting there turn to continue the assault on this country and its people, and now trying to make it look like they are the fucking victims, how fucking dare they..........enough is enough.................


It is about the courts, this country has always been about the courts

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough ............................vote, because if they retain power, look no further than what happened in Chile in the 1970's and the american economists that set up that constitution James Buchanan, you type in his name and if you read books Like Nancy MacLeans ..............Democracy in Chains, you can see and read how this is playing out in this country and it is not a pretty picture, and every republican in this country is using the format....................it is about the courts

You want to judge the highest law in the land? You better be prepared to take as much as you can dish out.

It is not about the feels
its not about the candidate making you feel good!
Its not about the candidate inspiring you
The candidate is not sleeping with you or taking you out on a Damn date!
Republicans understand this!

They can put babies in cages
They can roll back affirmative action
take away a woman's right to choose for herself
on and on
while we whine about not being inspired
Get over it!

Spare us your victimhood drama, Mitch. You are smearing people who were actually assaulted and attacked. Gee, I wonder why we are pissed?
