I turned it off a few minutes in. But, I think he just handed Nancy all the reason she needs to hold back the impeachment from the senate.
McConnel: “Most rushed and least thoroughly investigated impeachment in history”
Nancy: Oh, yeah? Well let’s just see what else we can find then.
Not a word in defense of Trump. Not one word.
Richard Guhl
My sentiments exactly, John.
Yarrow
Nancy Pelosi’s decision to delay sending over the articles must be a good idea because Chuck Todd says it’s doing McConnell a favor. “McConnell does not want this trial.” Sure, Jan.
WaterGirl
I completely agree with the sentiment, even though I have no idea what you guys were trying to watch. What did I miss while I was sleeping?
Or were you guys watching the rally from yesterday, which I cannot bring myself to watch?
Patricia Kayden
He thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants and ignore Senate protocols and precedents. If he won’t call any witnesses and hold a trial, Speaker Pelosi should do what she can to put pressure on him to take his duties seriously.
Yarrow
We all knew this but interesting to see Russia state TV saying it out loud:
WaterGirl
I just saw this in John’s twitter:
Please please please make it so.
Yarrow
@WaterGirl: I think McConnell is giving a speech on the floor of the Senate.
Patricia Kayden
@TaMara (HFG): Trump refused to provide documents to the House and stopped key witnesses from testifying. Schumer needs to give his own speech noting these facts.
Yutsano
@Patricia Kayden:Schumer or every Democratic Senator. I’m not picky.
WaterGirl
@Yarrow: Thank you!
Yarrow
@WaterGirl: I saw that in John’s Twitter as well. Love it so much. If it isn’t already a meme I’m disappointed.
Van Buren
Well, West Virginia is closer to Kentucky than Long Island is, so John’s wait line at the grave will be much shorter than mine.
Yarrow
LOL. I didn’t see this but it’s accurate:
Betty Cracker
He’s the worst. I know there’s almost no chance a Democrat can knock McConnell off in 2020, even though his own constituents despise him, but damn, it would be awesome if lightning strikes.
Yarrow
@Betty Cracker: If the stuff about his wife and their activities with China come to light, maybe….
Gin & Tonic
@Patricia Kayden: Schumer needs to grow a pair first.
patrick II
@Yarrow:
That is not the first time. They have called “their man”, on tv and in Russia’s Parliament. Putin laughs about it. Everyone there knows it. Trump, along with the Republican party, is bought and paid for.
Major Major Major Major
Evergreen headline.
patrick II
@patrick II:
I think someone should take all of those Russian “our agent”, “our man”, and make a campaign ad out of them.
Yarrow
@patrick II: I’ve seen they’ve called him “man” but not their “agent.” Maybe just a translation issue? Seems a slightly different framing.
BobS
I haven’t crossed swords since I was a kid, but give me a date and time.
James E Powell
@Patricia Kayden:
Is it okay if I want someone other than Schumer? He’s just not a wartime consigliere.
Juju
You made it a minute and a half longer than I did. I’ll let those better equipped than I piss in his grave, but I agree with the die already sentiment.
Baud
He’s an aggravating troll, but the only checks on him are his caucus and the good people of Kentucky, neither of which I control. I try not to let them get to me.
BroD
What kind of headline is THAT, John? Have you no regard for the sensibilities of your readers? The job of fucking McConnell is far too important to be left to himself. WE have to do it. 11/3/2020.

@James E Powell:
That’s fine. I wish he weren’t the leader in the Senate but here we are.
James E Powell
@Patricia Kayden:
Because so far he has ignored them and he’s been rewarded with one political victory after another.
Chief Oshkosh
@Patricia Kayden: Agree with the sentiment, but what Schumer should do is task that statement to a Senator who can deliver the speech effectively. Schumer is incapable of doing that. He’s a lousy public speaker who comes across as a whiny twerp and a lousy leader.
BobS
Schumer is stepping up.

James E Powell
@Chief Oshkosh:
That’s what I’m saying. I know there’s a senator from California whose schedule recently cleared up a bit.
Times like these, I really feel the loss of Al Franken.
Snarki, child of Loki
Why wait until McConnell is dead to piss on his grave?1??
First step: burial alive.
He’s earned it.
WaterGirl
@Betty Cracker: See Daschele, Tom.
Maybe there is hope.
The Lodger
There are still toll roads in Kentucky, right?
The Commonwealth should build one right next to McConnell’s grave. It’ll be a definite moneymaker, just for all the people who drive by and piss.
Elizabelle
McConnell is braying and whining because it’s all he’s got in his toolkit.
Keep investigating, Dems. I wish the FTF Supreme Court had let stand the lower courts’ rulings on Trump having to produce his financial documents. They introduced a horrible delay into justice being served.
I think things could go really, really bad for the Republicans. A lot of them are idiots, and they are enabling the worst “president” in history. All of life is not Fox News.
I also don’t believe the cool kids who tell me that conviction in the Senate is absolutely impossible. Maybe it is, but maybe it isn’t.
Delighted that Team Nancy Pelosi is playing hardball. Gonna enjoy the victory lap, keep working for Democrats and against Trump and Republicans, and hope that some enterprising team of journalists is investigating the NRA, illegal foreign money, and the McConnell-Chao family finances and there will be more bombshell and whistleblowing before long.

I want to run a beer concession at MoscowMitch’s gravesite so people will be able to pay their full ‘respects’ to the man.
emrys
Shorter McConnell: Trump could shoot a man on 5th Ave and we still would not vote to remove him. Nyah.
Yarrow
There’s a lot to work with in Kentucky for a good Democratic candidate and dedicated PACs. Both Paul and McConnell are up to their eyeballs in all sorts of Russian treason. McConnell’s got the China stuff via his wife, too.
And then there’s the Deripaska stuff:

danielx
Thinking of adjectives to describe McConnell: I like “loathsome” best, but “despicable” wins an honorable mention.
Yarrow
Can someone contact DougJ to set up a fundraiser for vulnerable Dems in the House who chose to vote for impeachment? We need to thank them for their vote.
EthylEster
@BobS: Schumer is stepping up.
HaHaHaHaHa.
No.
BobS
@EthylEster: Contradicting McConnell point by point, but maybe you’re watching something different.
Cheryl Rofer
@Snarki, child of Loki: Cool your jets
Elizabelle
@danielx:
Treasonous works for me as a descriptive for McConnell.
The Golux
@danielx:
The adjective and noun that always come to mind for me are “malevolent shitstain”.
I know that can be used for any Republican, but especially him.
Lavocat
Pissing on graves is for pussies. Now, SHITTING on graves, THAT is an entirely different matter altogether. No one can ignore a large fecal mound. That’s turning things up to eleven, my friend.
ElegantFowl
Lots of Americans, probably a majority, don’t know that administration principals including Bolton, Mulvaney, Pompeo are refusing to testify. And right now 71% want and expect them to testify. That is the crux House leadership needs to apply leverage to McConnell.
James E Powell
@Elizabelle:
Pretty sure that was the plan.

@Yarrow:
This is why I frequently (not quite always) call them the Russo-Republicans. They have been bought, and dare not cross their pay-masters lest those pay-masters open up the books on the donations, which have to be illegal and money-laundered!!
mad citizen
Funny, last night I was also thinking about this exact thing. I concluded there will probably be cameras, etc., and why get arrested for this. A fake gravestone with beer sales sounds like a good business idea, though. Add in a graffiti wall.
James E Powell
@Yarrow:
I know this is tin-foil hat thinking, but how much Russian cash would it take to convince key decision-makers in the press/media to keep that story out of the news?
Paul Begala's Pink Tie
@James E Powell:
I miss Franken as well, and I guess it makes me a terrible feminist but so be it. Every time his name comes up I want to relitigate, which is fruitless, but I still feel shocked that he resigned in disgrace while a confessed sexual assaulter is president. I *really* miss Paul Wellstone.

The only obvious sign of Karma on Mitch is genetic; it looks as though he has swallowed his chin.

With Nancy Smash holding on to the Articles of Impeachment, I’m gonna take a lap on all those who strenuously argued she couldn’t according to “The Constitution”,……
joel hanes
So say we all.
Yarrow
@James E Powell: That is not tinfoil hat thinking at all. If Russians and other enemies of ours want to influence our society they won’t just buy and/or get kompromat on politicians. They’ll also buy/get kompromat on media people–high level news folks would be very useful–,religious leaders, university professors and other leadership, etc. As Adam says, it’s penetration at all levels.
Look at the relationship between male high profile news people who got caught up in MeToo and lost their jobs and how they treated Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign. Now consider that their bosses knew these guys were vulnerable or at least Russia did. How could that info be useful to get them to frame their reporting, interviews, etc.?
stinger
@Betty Cracker: Or, a lightning strike.
Seanly
@Richard Guhl:
Ditto. The man is despicable
EDIT: I would want to do #1 and #2 on his grave.
sherparick
@chris: Remember everyone, he is known now and forever more as “Moscow Mitch” McConnell.
Luigidaman
John, please let me know when you’ll be pissing on McConnell’s grave. I’d like to go along. The more, the merrier.
Mike S (Now with a Democratic Congressperson!)
@Patricia Kayden:
Schumer’s been giving lots of speeches on the floor and to the news media, but it isn’t reported. here is just one of his tweets.
Jake Gibson
MoscowMitch and RussiaRand are my senators. So I hope I live long enough to get the opportunity.
West of the Cascades
I’ll be the first to send money to Erik Loomis at LGM so he can do an “Erik Visits an American Grave” with a crowd of hundreds around McConnell’s tombstone, um, “paying their respects.”
