Trump and McConnell, two politicians with shifting ideological cores, really aren’t all that different: their unyielding desire to win.
“Mitch has been as focused as anyone I’ve ever known on . . . his political power,” said Rep. John Yarmuth, his fellow Kentuckian, who, before becoming a Democrat got to know McConnell working alongside him on a Republican Senate campaign in 1968. “He gets up every day since [he was] 5 years old, and the first thing he thinks about is ‘What can I do to enhance my political power?’ ”
The only evidence he wants to see has $$$ signs. His legacy is a career of perjuring his soul in the service of mammon. Perhaps he will continue to serve his true master in hades.
Like Trump, McConnell wears what he is on his shirtsleeve — a rapacious monster of self-interest. He’s not afraid of Trump; if anything, I’m guessing he holds him in contempt because Trump just blunders and bluster around like a blind water buffalo while McConnell knows EXACTLY where each foot falls.
Moscow Mitch takes bribes from Russian oligarchs, and his wife’s family launders money (from cocaine, mostly) for the Chinese mob. If that isn’t international cooperation I don’t know what is!
@OneSmith: Try telling your lies to the families seeking asylum from Drug Lords stealing their land via threats and beatings (Hmm. I wonder who’s buying their drugs?). Try telling that to the families of U.S. servicemen and women living in substandard housing while the pervert-in-Chief takes the money specifically slated (by BOTH sides of the aisle in Congress) to make repairs to those build his senseless wall.
I’m sure others can chime in on how “well” so many people have it, thanks to your plastic god.
Huh. Did you notice that by moving the space one to the right you get a company whose first name is “Chaos”?
Like this ’toon at least partly because it points out… again… that your belief that reality is irrelevant will fail as soon as it comes up against actual reality. Sometimes in very bad ways.

Did you see idiot Pompeo call out the female reporter?
She pointed out Ukraine on the map and he cursed her and left in a snit.

Hopefully after his career in politics McConnell will get to enjoy a long retirement in a cell at Leavenworth.
