Sen. Mitch McConnell is announcing he won’t seek reelection next year, ending a decadeslong tenure as a power broker who championed conservative causes but ultimately ceded ground to the fierce populism of President Donald Trump.

I believe his tenure as a Republican power broker ended in the last congress. And I think it is contributing to his retiring!! Big win for regular folks!!

She’s probably shopping for another plastic surgeon.

January of 2027. This will be like waiting for Christmas when you were four.

Will anyone miss Mitch McConnell?



This is the problem with politics: these crooks are like head lice, once they get settled in it's almost impossible to get rid of them. Very occasionally their behavior is so egregious the voters give them the boot, but not very often. They have all the money and all the Party mafia behind them, so nobody can unseat them in the primary. Super Crook Liz Cheney being a notable exception.

I’ve now seen several of his “freeze” incidents and they look exactly like the thing that killed my mother - and as a consequence - my father as well, because she had an incident - while driving.

When she wasn’t - frozen - she was occasionally on slow - and incoherent.

For his own sake - he should leave. Like, now. Before he crashes or something.

All of hers have met with strange accidents. Er, I mean have died of old age.
