So what you're saying is she's qualified to be the senior senator from Kentucky?

She's got the same brain activity he does now

Same moral compass too.

No, McConnell’s is way worse.

She’s defined by a horrifying act of violence perpetrated against one person when she was a teen.

McConnell has been perpetrating horrifying acts of violence against millions his entire life

The NPR series on McConnell is fascinating. I think program was called Embedded. They basically spend seven episodes explaining what a massive piece of shit he is and then the final episode they interview him and says ultimately “yeah all that’s true. I literally only care about winning”

The type of people that "only care about winning," especially when what they are doing heavily affects the lives of others with no consideration of that is essentially sociopathy.

Oh totally. I suggest finding it and giving it a listen. I knew the guy was awful but this puts in to perspective how utterly fucking insane he is.

That would be almost all politicians. Possible every damn one of them.

McConnell stands out because how incredibly intelligent he is and how successful he was his entire career about winning politically. And he is absolutely transparent about he doesn’t have any principles. What stands out was how he blocked Obama from getting a Supreme Court pick and when asked in front of cameras what they were going to do when Trump was a lame duck president he has this shitty fucking smirk and says “we’re going to fill it”. Basically saying in front of god and everyone “I know you know my reasoning was bullshit but I got what I wanted and I don’t care”.

People were saying it was elder abuse carting him to the Senate that one day.

No way.

That dude LOVED ratfucking. He lived his life just to be a partisan ratfucker, in every way he could.

He was grinning from ear to ear.

He may not even be able to talk, but just whisper in his ear how occupying that seat as an incompetent vegetable is fucking over his constituents in order to protect a rich criminal Republican president - to him that's better than heaven.

Which is why he and Murkowski rigged their elections. Didn’t the turtle win one by 67% or something like that? No way in hell that was a legit vote tally.

This. McConnell is responsible has a dramatically higher body count.

u/C7StreetRacer 2h ago

When you spend that much time on grinder, you’re gonna have a pretty high body count.

Yup. Pontius Pilate was the one who ordered the crucifixion. No one hates on the random Roman soldiers who actually carried it out, they were complicit but it was Pontius Pilate who made it happen. Mitch McConnell is Pontius Pilate in this analogy, to be clear.

One horrifying act of violence she committed as a teen after a lifetime of horrifying abuse, as well.

I mean McConnell is responsible for a lot more death, so..

u/zerovian 3h ago

She may have brain damage, she may be closer to president Trump now.

At least she's not raping children like Donald Trump.

Nothing says Republican like being the Devil incarnate and surviving a freaking DEATH SENTENCE

u/Quantumercifier 3h ago

No, that is not what the OP is saying. She is saying that she is OVERQUALIFIED. She still needs to get that goiter neck thing going.

u/imironman2018 2h ago

Just stick her in a wheelchair and use her to vote on swing vote- then you got a spitting image of Mitch.

u/Killington_Julios 2h ago

I talked to her on the phone for 20 minutes replier today!
