"SNIP......

In a nearly 30-minute floor speech, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) attacked Democrats for trying to gaslight him into securing American elections. He then tried to turn it around and say former President Barack Obama was to blame.

“These pundits are lying, lying when they dismiss the work that’s been done,” McConnell said. “They’re lying when they insist I have personal actions, which I have in fact championed and the Senate has passed.”

McConnell was blasted for three days on Twitter as #MoscowMitch, questioning his patriotism for refusing to protect American elections. He alleged the actions of Democrats were a kind of “modern-day McCarthyism.” It’s an ironic claim given President Donald Trump alleged that Democrats are becoming a “socialist” and “communist” party.

McConnell used the resignation letter recently released by Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, which said he was pleased with the work he’d done to “established an election security executive to support the whole-of-government effort to address threats against our elections, reforms to the security clearance process, and improvements to our budget process.”

1. Yeah but

Coats is reportedly resigning because of him frequently butting heads with Trump over Russia. Of course, Coats is going to "toot his own horn" about the job he did, true or not. And, I guess, McConnell doesn't think more needs to be done?

2. "They're lying when they insist I have personal actions"?

Something wrong with that quote, or something wrong with the brain of that 79 year old turtle.

3. Did we at long last get under his skin?

That tells me this is the time to press the issue of election security, and see if the Majority Leader is truly upset or if he still dances to the tune playing from Moscow.

4. Moscow Mitch Is Feeling The Strain And Cracking......

Now is the time to keep the pressure on him.

9. Oh ...he has learned his skills of projection from his evil king well!!

10. So is Moscow Mitch

prepping the Deck on the Ship of State for his departure?

Mitch is having trouble dealing with the negative personal commentary. His story is being laid bare daily as to his Personal compromises by Russian Oligarchs as well as local Coal Barons owning sorry ass.

13. I'm going to buy 2 bottles of champagne for election night 2020.

One is for when Trump loses and the other is for McConnell losing. After the coal workers incident last week, maybe it will happen.

14. He should remain Moscow Mitch

through the election. For now, bombard him with articles on how he refused to help Obama deal with Russian interference before the election. Call, write, email, tweet, etc.
