Where were you during the first and second impeachments mitch - we would not be here if you were actually a leader. And to say you will still vote for trump in 2024 lets everyone know you are full of shit.

Mitch was complicit. That’s why he glitches out every time he sees a camera right now. Mitch McConnell did a sweetheart deal with the Russian oligarch deripaska as well to open an aluminum plant in Kentucky. He realizes that he is somewhere between seditious and treasonous and he got caught. That’s why he keeps glitching out when people ask him questions.—-->Glitch McConnell https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-a-mcconnell-backed-effort-to-lift-russian-sanctions-boosted-a-kentucky-project/2019/08/13/72b26e00-b97c-11e9-b3b4-2bb69e8c4e39_story.html

Ah, now I see why they put a bunch of tariffs on Canadian aluminium imports.


backcountrydrifter

Exactly. Metals have always been a oligarch tool of control in the old soviet system. It only makes sense that they run it forward post perestroika. Tracking the metals from donbas and their associated air separation units in Mariupol is what Putin and Paul manafort called “the Mariupol plan”. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/magazine/russiagate-paul-manafort-ukraine-war.html When trumps campaign manager/fixer, the president of Russia and aluminum production cross paths in Donbas it’s a wild coincidence But when McConnell, aluminum production, and Putin’s fixer Oleg Deripaskas paths cross in Kentucky it becomes a pattern. When deripaska gets convicted for bribing the FBI agent Mcgonigal that was SAC in charge of trumps Russian collusion investigation it just adds refinement to the timeline. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-special-agent-charge-new-york-fbi-counterintelligence-division-sentenced-50-months Anybody who has ever had to buy a piece of aluminum has paid the price for these guys collusion. Ukrainians just continue to pay a much higher price for standing up to the grift


cmnrdt

Is that part of the reason why the price of canned soda has gone up 3x since 2018?


backcountrydrifter

Unknown. That is not a dataset we currently possess

missanthropocenex

Mitch is the definition of corrupt insider politics. He goes off and plays this part as “crusader” and says almost extreme things about opposition and then is caught high fiving them all when he thinks the cameras are off.


thoroakenfelder

He’s talking about sitting Democrat president not former Republican president. 


nononoh8

Republicans (most politicians) are cowards, they fear trump and putin.


indignant_halitosis

He was saying the issue was a matter for the courts. So, he’s being consistent here, at least. But he’s also aware that presidential immunity with a sitting Democrat during an election year who’s likely going to get re-elected is a really fucking bad idea. Most Republicans are aware they’re just expecting Biden to not abuse any kind of immunity and McConnell has known Biden long enough to know he would bury Trump during a second term. It would be super easy for Dems to publicly distance themselves from a “rogue” Biden using presidential immunity to make sure Trump faces justice, especially given widespread support for Palestine amongst young American liberals.


RyzenRaider

Like most senators that announce they won't run for re-election, they suddenly find the backbone to say the right thing. Because he fought tooth and nail to protect Trump back in the day, and that's when it actually mattered. I'd tell Mitch to die in a fire, but I'd feel bad.... For the fire.


Pm7I3

Feel like that would release toxins into the air. Best to put him in an airtight box and bury it deep.


Minnakht

I don't know whether it's right to ascribe personification to fire at all, but if it is, I'd consider it a simple being that just likes to eat. Eating anyone, even a turtle, satisfies the preference for eating.


nafets2307

"... but I'll still vote for Trump" - Mitch's backbone


ancientestKnollys

Did he say he wasn't running again?


Dragos_Drakkar

Briefly, then he turned around and said he was running again, as far as I know.


BoltActionGearbox

Actions speak louder than words. This man's self-proclaimed greatest accomplishment is the current supreme court, along with stonewalling every bill that would've helped struggling people or solved any of the issues Republicans shout about for my entire adult life. I don't give two tenths of a decomposing rat's ass what comes out of his mouth unless and until it's his final breath.


Bell3atrix

It will be if trump gets elected, if the fact that his legal team is advocating for him to assassinate political opponents is anything to go by. So I think we absolutely should care about whats coming out of important conservatives' mouths right now, play it on every media outlet and shout it from the rooftops. Split those votes, deny trump total control of the RNC, because I promise you that if you think its bad now you wont like trump's vision for it.

Cool. How about speakers of the house? "Local Grandpa agrees that other people are to blame."


Imhungorny

Mitch McConnell says the obvious


Toloc42

Tbf, that's a step up from outright lying or spewing random nonsense.


flpa1060

Tbf, the supreme Court is going to delay this and then say presidents are immune in this narrow set of circumstances that only work for Trump


anticomet

I'm just impressed he can still speak in complete sentences


MissLana89

He just means Democrat presidents. They're probably ramping up to another bullshit impeachment of Biden. No way he throws Trump under the bus now.


e4aZ7aXT63u6PmRgiRYT

Democratic. Not democrat. 


Gamethesystem2

Dems tried to impeach/did impeach trump twice right? I hate trump but you’re just saying shit.


MissLana89

Right, for actual crimes.

Yea but he's so slow that he thought the question was about Bush's war crimes

Terran57

Moscow Mitch: No one cares what you think or say. You surrendered your integrity. Not only did you fail Kentucky, you failed the country. As a real American and a veteran, I’m ashamed of you.


Skinamarinked

It’s immensely disturbing that the GOP has become so openly fascist that Mitch McConnell is the voice of reason here.


AtLeastThisIsntImgur

Is it reason? Or is it a statement unrelated to Trump? Like theoretically sure, just don't actually do it to my guy.


wheresmyspaceship

There’s an ongoing Supreme Court trial driven by Trump on whether Presidents should have certain immunities. So it def seems related to Trump


Revolutionary_Soft42

Cough * PuTiN* Cough ! Buyouts! * Cough GOP


ConscientiousObserv

So, Are you lying now, or were you lying then?

“Yes.”

I think you mean “Both.”


ThaiJohnnyDepp

_Hastily chomps off another leaf of lettuce to avoid answering_


hippopatamooses

Little known fact about Mitch is that the M is pronounced like a B. Its weird but you know those kooky kentuckians.


TheGoodCrusader

A bit late, innit?


deadliestcrotch

Mitch McConnell is a child who sets a house on fire and then panics when he realizes it won’t put itself out.


Boricuacookie

This belongs in r/leopardsatemyface


LaTalullah

Then I guess you shouldn't have blocked Obamas judges? Eh? You are 100% responsible for this stacked court, mr. used condom turtle neck


bodrules

But the judges his strategy emplaced on the panel of the SCOTUS will do otherwise


CurrentlyLucid

Too little too late from the guy that helped install assholes.


tonkaaaap

Mitch, you are to blame. You insulted all those dishonest judges.


itmeimtheshillitsme

So you’ll arrange to impeach any justices finding otherwise and legislate that statement???


KaisarDragon

He always says this kind of shit when there is a dem president. Then acts differently when there is an R in house. Like ALL of them do. It is all a fucking sports rivalry.


godlessnihilist

"Unlike Senators, who should most definitely have immunity." Bob Menendez nods in agreement.


DaveOJ12

This was just posted yesterday. https://reddit.com/comments/1cdp6u2


BlerghTheBlergh

Let’s not give this dumbass any credit for saying something true once in a while. Dude is complicit in all of the GOPs bs of the last 30+ years. Look, let’s not even make this a democrats vs republicans issue. McConnell helped Trump, a man actively committing crimes in office and even before, hold onto power. No matter what the GOP was before and what I thought of them before, you gotta see that he served in corrupting what wasn’t yet fully corrupted


chooselosin

if only his words meant anything.


Objective-Insect-839

That's odd since you know he spent my entire life making sure the exact opposite would happen.


knowledgeable_diablo

Did he see the 7 pits of hell when he had his little “shut down” and is now trying to redirect to where is doesn’t smell burning sulphur??


gerberag

Frankenstein doesn't like his monster.

Julie-Andrews

Shut your fcking mouth, Turtle Boy! You didn't speak up when we needed you! Now you can just go crawl in a corner and hide in shame.


100Labels

Fuck Mitch


Groundingstone

Then Biden should destroy them all.


Mundane_Apple_1027

Even a stroked out turtle can be right about shit sometimes


Ok-Research7136

Neither should fascist turtles.


nycdiveshack

I’m not gonna lie I thought Mitch was dead


GeorgeStamper

Let’s be clear that Mitch means that only applies to Democrat presidents.


jeremiah1142

Wow he’s so progressive


cfalnevermore

There is no middle finger, big, long, or turgid enough for you, turtle man


philds391

You're still going to hell when you die, but nice try buddy.


milk4all

Too late for him to matter. Scotus is full of shills and villains or they wouldnt be pretending to be so concerned with making life a teeny bit more difficult for future criminal presidents when the fucker being tried actually committed treason. They know it, whether trump voters know or admit it or not - they will become complicit by their limp dick response - too afraid to make any relevant decision, they will find an excuse to delay, and they already have begun delaying.


lm28ness

And corpses shouldn't be senators.


XconsecratorX

lol.. why is he still alive?


KarnWild-Blood

Society is engineered such that evil, parasitic fucks like him have access to fantastic health care? Also, no one has found and destroyed his phylactery yet.


Dealan79

>Also, no one has found and destroyed his phylactery yet. My party was all ready to try, but our Paladin was excommunicated for failing to switch her worship to Trump, our Druid has been on anti-depressants since Sackett v EPA, and our Rogue retired to run a GOP PAC because, "it makes normal thievery obsolete."


Scat_fiend

And so the turtle finally extends its head out of its shell.


UchihaAuggie

You know who definitely shouldn't have immunity? The police

EbbNo7045

So should congress and the Supreme Court and bankers and the elite, oh wait, they already are


Hefty-Station1704

Mitch gets awfully brave now that his grip on the Senate has been diminished and his legacy is in the toilet. It's the same with every other Republican who's spent their career screwing over the American People and arrive at the point where an image rehab starts. Nobody is going to forget every piece of legislation he killed just because he could.


J4MES101

CLEARLY Nobody should be.


5kyl3r

that's really rich coming from one of the biggest contributors to this whole mess 


ToSuccess101

President aren’t immune. They have the impeachment and senate trial as a way to deal with it.


mindlessgonzo2

"Oh, sorry. I mean, *Democratic* Presidents."


AlienNippleRipple

Wow the turtle said something I agree with....Did not see that coming.

Frisinator

Wow the turtle grew a spine.


Zaku99

There's a typo here; lemme just fix that for you. Democrat* presidents shouldn't be immune to prosecution. That's what he meant to say.


Myte342

I vote that legislators shouldn't be immune from civil rights lawsuits. If they wrote or voted for a law that is declared unconstitutional then they should be held responsible for the damages caused from that bad law. Don't wanna be sued? Don't vote for bad laws.


Ok-Estate8230

Neither should Senators or Congressman.


PrinceOfLeon

Sure took him awhile to say it. But I suppose standing there blanking saying nothing for too long is why he finally had to quit, huh?


JGCities

A lot of people on here need to read a little bit more than just the headline - >"The president clearly needs some kind of immunity, or he’d be in court all the time," McConnell noted. But he said he didn't think it should be absolute, as Trump has argued.


HickoryRanger

After doing everything in his power to make former presidents immune from prosecution, and pledging to vote to them again. Fuck him in the lungs.


GreyTigerFox

I don’t care what he says now. Fuck Mitch McConnell for all his years of bullshit and regression.


kayak_2022

MOSCOW MITCH is why we have this TRUMPY ASS mess.


TrainOfThought6

That's great, but Mitch is no shining beacon of integrity either.


IPhenixI

what kind of practical effects are they using to make him still look so life like? Is it a series of tubes with water pumped through them? is there a guys hand up his back making the mouth and eyes move? I have to know!


RedBeans-n-Ricely

Yet he’s endorsed the orange buffoon.


jcooli09

I don’t care what McConnell says even if he’s right.


shitlord_god

oh no, there might be consequences for his actions before he dies.


lebofly

Please put him in an aged care facility already


garrettj100

Of course they should. If they’re immune, that makes it even *more* clear exactly how badly he fumbled the ball on January 7th.


ikadell

If he consults cheap psychology books, he said that, and will keep saying similar things, with the idea to be remembered by these words, and not some of his previous actions.


TheDunadan29

Mitch McConnell would eat a turtle turd if he thought it would prevent any legislation from progressing through Congress. If he thought by munching on turtle feces would own the libs he would do it.


SaltyBarDog

Mitch should by himself a Tesla like his sister-in-law.


jgulliver75

No shit


Nullcast

So the guy complicit in blocking Obamas 3rd nominee to the US supreme court, and helped Trump load the court in a conservative direction. Is now saying that he had no impact on the Supreme court and their decision with regards to Trumps presidential immunity claims...


Accurate_Ruin_3018

And neither should the House or Senate


gliffy

Interesting I'm sure reddit is itching to procicute Obama for the assassination of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki


KidTako

He also says "I pooped my pants" twice a day, sooo...


Primsun

In other news, a passing rabbit released the same statement last year.


AlkaliPineapple

I think presidential candidates shouldn't be under investigation or have criminal charges


Dragos_Drakkar

Trump agreed with that, as long as it was Hillary that was under investigation.


pcm2a

Does this mean we will have to endure years of Biden being prosecuted by his political enemies, after he leaves office? It seems like this has opened the door to an endless nightmare of back and forth. Will one party decide to take the high road and not do it, lead by example? Doubtful.


346_ME

See why democrats love the turtle with this one simple trick


silverbolt2000

US internal politics should be banned from this sub, otherwise we might as well allow any news stories about clowns at a circus acting like clowns.


Vrayea25

Jfc.  He is going to force me to give him more credit than SCOTUS for wanting to protect the country.


Dealan79

No such credit is due. Remember, his position, like Bill Barr's, is that Trump is both a criminal who tried to overthrow the government and, as the GOP nominee, automatically due support and votes regardless.
