Trump's Useful Idiot Mitch McConnell to Exit Senate: Good Riddance

 

Mitch McConnell, the evil senile Senator from the backward state of Kentucky and a Trump ass-licker of the first kind will step down in January 2027 after almost four decades as a senator (since 1985) and two decades as the Senate Republican leader. Three more years to go with this deeply asinine American and dangerous Appalachian moonshiner, but at least he won't be at the helm.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said. “So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.” GOOD RIDDANCE to the sneakiest, double-faced hypocrite conservative idiot from Kentucky.

His decision follows a recent career as a subservient ideological puppet of Donald Trump. President Joe Biden, who has had a productive working relationship with McConnell, said he was kind of sorry to hear the news.

Aides said McConnell’s announcement was unrelated to his health. The Kentucky senator had a concussion from a fall last year and two public episodes where his face briefly froze while he was speaking.

The senator had been under increasing pressure from the restive, and at times hostile wing of his party that has aligned firmly with Trump. The two have been estranged since December 2020, when McConnell refused to abide Trump’s lie that the election of Democrat Biden as president was the product of fraud. Yet, this is the senator who refused on numerous occasions to vote against Trump in impeachment trials regarding Trump's treasonous relationship with the Russian Dictator Putin. In other words, McConnell constantly chose party loyalty over national interests.

McConnell also protected all the radical right-wing nominees to the Supreme Court and rushed their nominations at the very end of the Trump term, which went against the traditional courtesy of not fielding nominees on the cusp of a new term, thus enabling Trump to stack the Supreme Court with radical right-wing judges who are about to issue a judgment on Trump's fake claims of immunity in his attempt at violating the constitution.

Trump has pulled the party hard to the ideological right, questioning longtime military alliances such as NATO, international trade agreements and pushing for a severe crackdown on immigration, all the while clinging to the falsehood that the election was stolen from him in 2020.

McConnell and Trump had worked together during Trump's time in the White House, remaking the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary in a far more conservative image.

When Trump refused to accept the results of the Electoral College, there was a superficial rupture in the Trump-McConnell relationship. While McConnell assigned blame and responsibility to Trump and said that he should be held to account through the criminal justice system for his actions, he did not go far enough and refused to vote to convict Trump.

Americans generally see him as a shifty Rasputin-like figure, cooking up mischief and plotting in backroom deals. Even Republicans  are repulsed by him. According to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 45% of Republicans have an unfavorable view of McConnell.

He concluded his address to the Senate, "It is time for the next generation of leadership.” Not soon enough and good riddance. May McConnell go spend his remaining years in the boonies of Kentucky and get his disgusting drooping face out of our lives for good.
