Graham had just returned from Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

    This is actually amazing timing.

    This will force McConnell’s hand. If he’s alive he’ll need a PRETTY good excuse to be missing Graham’s funeral.

      Nah. People miss things all the time. They could even say he isn’t feeling up to the trip.

    At the oval office.

    “We need to change the narrative of Mitch kicking the bucket. We need some low life ass-kissing loser to take one for the team.”

    I think Lindsey will have a great afterlife working as an apologist and spokesperson for the Devil.

    I first heard of the guy back in the SOPA and PIPA bullshit in 2012. I heard him say ‘you don’t get a lawyer’ if you are accused of terrorism.

    Now he is dead and facing final judgement, and I am quite confident he is going to be denied a lawyer there, too.

    Republicans are certainly going to great lengths to stop the media from discussing Mitch McConnell.

    Sudden? I mean…maybe if we’re talking geological time. Just because the symptoms finally overwhelmed it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a seething cesspool rife with disease all this time…

        He was a rare what-the-fuck-are-we-doing critic of The Idiot, right up until he was presumably blackmailed.

        I am willing to distinguish between mere right-wing assholes and full-blown cultists. The cultists certainly do. It’s why Mitt Romney’s out. He wasn’t championing trickle-down economics just because the party said so, to-day. He believed that shit. The stupid bastard.
