Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he’s implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.
Or hell be forced to stand completely still and silent while definitely not having a seizure.
No, those were strokes, not seizures.
But, but, but… dehydration 🙄
Yeah, all his blood dried up into clots.
We call it “blood” but it’s really just tar.
You call it “tar” but it’s really that alien from TNG episode Skin of Evil.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
“You won’t like me if I get… uncivil” is the most Senate threat in the book.
Nevermind that we’ve got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a “get rich quick” scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
He’s never been willing to work for the American people. Only the elite who can pay for his services.
You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
Time to start flexing our muscles to remind these assholes of that fact.
What muscles? Congress was created by an oligarchy to serve oligarchs and has never been anything else.
Even the new deal was just a scheme to stop a guillotine party.
What muscles?
The sharp ones hanging off the rope with the little hole to stick your head into
I would like to join the guillotine party.
They don’t work for your just like Facebook or google don’t work for your, you are the merchandise they are selling.
You are being pimped out. You are being sold down the river.
I get that he has to fight this, for political reasons, but this is the dumbest fucking rebuttal ever
What he’s targeting here is private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday
The Supreme Court is hardly your average citizen and Congress absolutely has reasons to investigate potential corrupt in the Supreme Court.
Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that “poor wittle pwivate citizen”
Also, calling billionaires “private citizens” seems wrong to me. If you’ve managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you’re no longer a “private citizen” in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn’t spend a single dime, and STILL don’t have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you’re not a “private citizen” you’re a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I’m concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.
should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.
…once, until they’re entirely abolished. Billionaires are a policy failure.
Congress is literally tasked with setting up the court system in the constitution. Through, you know, legislation. He’s talking out of his ass.
also weird since he definitely thought it was worth it to probe hunter biden despite being a private citizen
Have you seen the size of Hunter’s hammer?
I’d probe him too.
If like to be probed by Hunter.
‘Oh Hunter, probe my like one of your French hookers.’
It’s the billionaires he is saying are private citizens, he’s trying to protect his doners from humiliation
He’s afraid that we’ll find out he was involved in blackmailing Anthony Kennedy.
Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
He KNOWS he’s relevant, that’s why he’s threat-begging them to look the other way.
Oh I get what you mean but I think the word is culpable LOL
Both, actually. His culpability makes him relevant to the inquiries 🤷
You are my kind of people 💯
You are right!
Fuck all the way off back to Moscow, Mitch.

calling such a move “totally inappropriate.”
And this from someone who openly, shamelessly rigs the court.
The Dems should take it as a clue to keep going
Or what? You guys will do a worse job?
What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?
Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We’re…REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.
Unfortunately in the case of some.
Sincerely, a critical care nurse
Walter Reed has the absolute best medical staff and facilities anywhere in the world.
Meanwhile, one of the nurses at my family’s hospital decided it was okay to give my mother a double dose of chemo since she would be missing an appointment next month.
Congress people have access to more consistent application of medical technology, yes. But the actual tech is not different from what is (sometimes poorly) deployed elsewhere. That was my only point.
Is your mother aware that she probably needs the chemo to, you know, stay alive?
Not sure what the schedule conflict there can be here.
deleted by creator
Yeah, I’m aware. I’m talking about your mom missing her next scheduled dose.
Obviously.
You know, the way you would do if you want a resurgence?
deleted by creator
Are you a language bot? Because you clearly don’t understand the conversation.
It was 20 years ago so I don’t really remember why. It might have been radiation, not chemo, so there was less need for consistency
Just the normal shit everybody *with money gets.
We regularly give the exact same treatment to Medicaid patients at my hospital that we give to rich patients. The key is being in a state with actually good Medicaid (Massachusetts). Lack of access in rural areas is more about corporations not making enough profit to continue providing services there. Which is why we need to make hospitals public again.
My better half works in a nursing home and… agree. Too many are kept alive long after their minds and quality of life disappear.
Yeah, the whole “occasionally torturing old people with dementia” part of my job is not what I signed up for when I became a nurse. But we continue to value the feelings of family members who might sue over the best interests of vulnerable patients. Welcome to America.
Congress gets the second-best government funded healthcare in the nation, possibly in the world.
For life, btw.
Necromancers
Same shit as Dick Cheney
Nah, Cheney is kept alive with technology, like Darth Vader. McConnell is kept alive through dark magic, like Emperor Palpatine. Totally different.
Mitch is afraid that the court they worked so hard to pack with their CORRUPT hacks will be undone.
It’s funny how much conservatives struggle with finding people who aren’t criminals and frauds. Almost like there is something fundamental about them that attracts horrible people and repels everyone else.
deleted by creator
Shit, if it were just 100x more, we wouldn’t have a problem, it’s closer to 1,000,000x more.
They don’t struggle, the corrupt ones are the ones who get funding. We need to repeal citizens United and get rid of Super PACS.
Cool, how about instead we focus on corruption in the department of transportation in, say, 2017-2021?
That, to me, is more than enough reason to issue more subpoenas and investigate even further.
Shut the fuck up Mitch.
Or else what f-tard
“…”
-Mitch McConnell
I love that this could either be his quoted response or just an emoticon of his face.

This is the most important part. Whenever Republicans do shit like this, a Democrat, preferably a much younger one, should say, “I’d like to address the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky with the following question: Or you’ll what?” Call their bluff and watch them fold like this shit was a game of Texas Hold 'Em.
I don’t see anything in the body of the article that could be called a warning. More like whining.
Man has a fuckin synth recall code where he just shuts down in the middle of speaking so I am widely unconcerned with his whining, warnings, or threats.
