The turtle is leading the coverup

[malaise]

Lock them all up!
Never forget his wife got transportation for his role.

[Foamfollower]

1. He, Ryan, and Pence are all in the Russian treason up to their ears.

[democratisphere]

2. Pay-for-play patronage job for his corrupt wife.

[dalton99a]

3. Yep, nothing will come to light with them in charge

[MontanaMama]

4. Turtle is DIRTY.

Was just watching him talk about failing Obamacare...like that bs is important this morning...Turtle looks pretty stressed. Not like the cocky sob we're used to. Lock him up!!

[Hortensis]

5. Let's hope that's true! Frankly, though, I have a lot of respect

for McConnell's ability to protect and advance himself. After all, he's a homely, charmless, amoral little weasel who's been trading influence and betraying his constituents for over 30 years while he made his way to the top.

Soulless, but very much not stupid.

[FakeNoose]

7. There's still tobacco and coal money in Kentucky - McConnell is their boy

I have no admiration for McConnell, only loathing.

He's taken money from every special interest in his own state plus others outside of Kentucky. Why do you think he acts like he doesn't give a shit about his constituents? Because he doesn't need them, he's all for the special interests.

Need proof that he's in on the Russian fix? McConnell sandbagged the Merrick Garland SC appointment for a solid year because he knew the next President would be Republican - even before Trump was their nominee.

What does that tell you? It speaks volumes to me.

6. The turtle is the one who allocated the dark money to repub candidates

He knows he's balls deep in it all ~

[HughBeaumont]

12. His Heritage Fellow "Wife" got a job in the Trump Administration.

What does a former Labor Secretary (under Bewsh) know about Transportation anyway??

15. Well! her dad does own a massive international shipping company

So there's that...that's kind of like experience...oh, and conflict of interest y'know, when your daughter heads up the agency set to regulate the family business.

But, It's ok. They're republicans. All good.

8. If they just go for Trump & leave the upper echelon of repub leadership in place,

nothing will change. The repubs will just continue down this same road. Trump has normalized the outrageous. IMO, the longer this drags out, the less likely we will come back from this.

[BSdetect]

9. When McConnell stopped Garland that was a huge red flag for the Dems.

As usual we were asleep at the wheel.

[malaise]

10. +1,000

I still can't process that one

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. To be fair

Without controlling the Senate, what else could we have done? And it seemed like Hillary and Team Blue were doing well up to the very end and we all expected a slightly different outcome than the one we got.

11. Lets not forget Elaine's father

James Si-Cheng Chao (Chinese: 趙錫成; pinyin: Zhào Xīchéng; born December 29, 1927) is a Chinese-American merchant mariner, business leader, and philanthropist. He is the founder of the Foremost Group a New York-based shipping, trading, and finance enterprise.

No conflict with the Secretary of Transportation, (Sarcasm)

[Xolodno]

13. Some GOP Senator has to be....

...ambitious enough to get the turtle booted. And is just waiting in the wings to strike at the opportune moment. Sadly, I think that might be Ted Cruz.

[malaise]

14. Cruz is another scumbag

[davekriss]

16. Republican poison is destroying the USA

After Trump, this is the most destructive guy in American politics. Third is Paul Ryan. But the list is very long!

[librechik]

18. Yup. He's in on it. All along. So was Comey, though it gives me no pleasure to say it.

the planning on this caper was exquisite, like a brilliant chess move involving many pieces and ending in Mate. We are in check.
