Moscow Mitch doesn't want you to notice the millions he's taken from Russian oligarchs directly connected to Putin.

Moscow Mitch doesn't want you to notice how he fought for lifting sanctions against Russian oligarchs directly connected to Putin.

Moscow Mitch wants you to forget that he threatened Obama and blocked informing the public about Russian interference in 2016.

Moscow Mitch wants you to ignore all the warnings about Russian interference in 2020.

Moscow Mitch wants you to forget that he blocks every bill that is designed to secure our elections from foreign interference.

Moscow Mitch wants you to cry with him over "policy disagreements".

Colors are too vibrant and the messages too satisfying. Those would be very expensive signs and it's unlikely anyone would rent four, especially this far out from the election.

We have to be careful not to be taken in by Facebook posts this election just because they make us feel good.

On a trip through South Carolina to Georgia a month ago, on interstate 26, the billboards were plastered along the way, both directions, with Tulsi for president advertisements. Very colorful. Rural South Carolina does not give a damn about Tulsi. Those are there with GOP cash to divide, Jill Stien Style, and assure trump re-election. There is no "too far out" to fight for our democracy and go to war with evil, treasonous GOP. The American, and Russians oligarchs, will spend unlimited cash, as trump has done during inauguration and endlessly to keep power and steal elections.

It’s a poor state. It ranks among the poorest and hungriest states. Mitch gets outside big bucks because he’s a powerful Senator. Being the Majority leader in the senate gives him immense power, and his outside donors get a lot for their contributions because he decides what the Senate does on every issue. For example, now, where he can stop all the legislation he wants. Another example is how he blocked everything that President Obama tried to do.

His nickname Putin’s Mitch is very apt. That’s the kind of power he has backing him.
