Booing and attacking the one man who single-handedly prevented Trump from getting permanently barred from running for office.
But at least Moscow Mitch is getting the treatment he actually deserves.

Fascists always eat their own eventually. Always.
No honor among thieves.
They eat everything. Because they’re fat shits.
Booing and attacking the one man who created the current SCOTUS that is doing nothing but help trump
And the Aileen Cannons underneath them.
the one man who single-handedly prevented Trump from getting permanently barred from running for office.
Twice.
It is pants-shittingly terrifying that McConnell is being booed for being too moderate.
They're probably booing him because trump doesn't like him, not because of any specific policies. Most of the simpletons in the audience work off emotion, not logic.
They do and feel as they're told by fox "news". They don't have a single thought of their own.
EDIT: A word
And also hilarious, since he was all too happy to fully enable Trump.
All that power that he cheated our democracy to put in Trumps hands, so that he could use him as a puppet to further his far right agenda, has turned on him. Even after kissing the ring after falling in line again after a very brief "perhaps we've gone too far" moment on Jan 6th.
Fuck you, Mitch. You destroyed our democracy. You did this. You raised an idiot to a dictatorship thinking you could control him. Great fucking job.
As is tradition. A lot of the more "moderates" in Germany thought they could easily control Hitler. Idiots failing to grasp weaponized stupidity in the hands of other idiots.
And that about half of voters still back the party doing it...
McConnell drowned
:)
out by boos during RNC roll call
:(
Can turtles even be drowned?
If it's a tortoise sure. Depends on what species of turtle McConnell is.
Nobody in that family would ever go near water again
If the fascists come to power I hope I get to see this guy get purged before they come for me.
I hope he becomes clumsy around windows
Hard to say. The Night of the Long Knives was about midway through
If they win, it will be 180 days. That's a long enough time to get my wife and kids to Canada
It's going to be the Night of Long Knives or Stalin's Purge all over again. Trump will terrorize and purge his own party to obtain absolute control.
Hes been past his best-by date for so long he should be content with any kind of attention at this point
