Moscow Mitch needed to leave when Harry Reid retired. He personally ruined SCOTUS with his bullshit antics screwing Obama with the Garland nomination and cramming through the Handmaid when RBG passed away.
Couldn't have said it better. This excuse for a Senator ruined the judiciary for years to come. Seats need to be added to the Supreme Court to counter the damage caused by him. (Not to mention giving the orange traitor a pass in not convicting him for his high crimes.)
In a way Mitch did something right. Image Merrick Garland as a Supreme Court Justice. For 3 years he has sat on his ass watching crimes being committed without accountability
He had the power to stop Trump from ever setting foot in the WH again if he had advocated for his impeachment conviction on February 13, 2021. The vote was 10 short in the Senate, a margin which he could have overwhelmed. He ripped apart Trump for his role in Jan. 6, essentially pointed the blame at him... but instead kicked the can down the road pointing to the criminal justice system backstop. Not the same though, as he of course knew. What did this cowardice get him? A few more years of lame service is the answer, an ego booster. He could have been an historical hero, instead he goes down amongst the worst cowards this country has ever mistakenly trusted. Damn him, and he knows it. Shame. You were the gatekeeper that could have kept this dementor from a second run at taking over this country. Damn you. Damn you. Your lack of courage may be consequential to humanity.
To maintain a humble heart working to the top of your goals , is rare , but affidavit of the BEST in true leadership’s quality…study after study after study shows mankind gets greedy. That’s why the notable behind the scene givers seldom limelight or garner accolades. T. Swift prime example in all her glory comes across the sweet gal next door..and that sparkles on stage. Oprah, Celine D., keneau Reeves. .. short list ….Special 🫶
Cynical, but likely true, that McConnell is using his age and feebleness to take a political jab at his fellow geriatric, Biden. It is his parting gift to the Party...and MAGA.. on the way out the door. It is a sad end for a once respected statesman.
Thank you Steve, for your impactful hard and exacting punches you've thrown at Mitch McConnell on The Warning and elsewhere. This is a fight for Democracy and you're in the ring fighting for us 24/7. Your messages were seen and heard by many in places where action happens and decisions are made, including today on Scripps News. IMHO, the more you are on full-screen on Scripps, the better, because when you're speaking and are put in a smaller box with photos of Trump and McConnell for too long, the viewer seems to lose that bold and powerful face-to-face delivery you give. Your full-screen presence and undeniable truth-telling is what got my attention on Nicole Wallace/MSNBC a few years ago, and this has been hugely helpful in navigating these tumultuous times. I would want to suggest to Scripps that less prolonged photos of others and more full-screen direct Schmidt Storms on Scripps is needed. (Today was better full-screen than yesterday -great!) Keep knocking these rotten destructive MAGA cowards out! Thank you so much.
I can’t believe Moscow Mitch is giving up his leadership role. What will the senate do without his wise counsel? I’m already crying crocodile tears of joy, as my sarcasm cannot be contained!
Calling McConnell a master of the Machiavellian arts, would be giving this two-bit, lying and manipulative fraudster, far too much credit.
He is a man of little to no conviction or character. Sadly, his legacy will be of a man in his late seventies deciding to leave four decades of fascist jurists on the highest court in the land.
His legacy will reverberate in our nation for decades to come, after he’s dead and buried. No man has caused as much chaos in this country than McConnell, which speaks volumes, given the fact we’ve been living with Trump for almost a decade now.
That said, I’m not ashamed to say that when he finally passes, I’ll visit Kentucky for the first time; just to dance on his grave!
Good riddance and don’t slam the door on your way out!…:)
I would not call him a "small man" Mitch always got his way, he was very powerful in the senate, he singlehandedly destroyed our judicial system. He pushed through the worse extremist judges, he manipulated Obama. He never backed down, he was on TV almost every night when Obama was president, criticizing him and the Dems with just a few devastating words. He was ruthless and an opportunist. I am very happy to get rid of him.
Oh he was a small man...to do what he did and be proud of his actions? He was always a narcissist, a crude and racist man that sat quietly next to Obama with that despicable look on his face as he gazed at him not mentally excepting that a black person could be a U.S President. How disgusting his face always was & is when you saw the expression on his face!
Most of his kind that now sit in gov. positions are all useless beings that see there place as merely a Job with some possibility of a Voice they think that will make them famous.
All Worthless participants in the removal of our Freedoms!
If the MAGA crowd has its influence in the Senate, my guess is Rick Scott will replace McConnell. Now there’s a man who knows how to rob from the poor in order to give to the rich.
Schumer, in the great age that he is, despite such thoughts of him as negative, knows Right from what is Wrong & has stood up to it in his political career. A reminder...We all get old, but many have a capacity of function, clear vision and decisive thinking. He cannot be compared to someone like McConnell, who knew the truth, remarked about it, and then defied & abandoned it......No doubt having to do with this belief that the ex-pres. was sent by their god. We'd all love to see the quiet sessions they have together convincing all that this is the reason they must support this malicious man!
His legacy is the total destruction of the gop and bringing us closer to handmaids tales
A piece of dung, his replacement has to be minority leader, and if a blue wave addition of dc and pr as states diluting the Christian nationalist bent of republicans in 21st century
And the adjustment of house to one representative to every 400,000 voters.
He was the gutless individual who changed history but Thom Hartman's article of February 26 is chilling. Why won't the media tell the truth? When are we going to speak out before it's too late.
Mitch McConnell was a weasel. He was one individual who lost any contact with the notion of integrity.
One of his worst moves was in his bigoted deterrent to block Obamas right to appoint a candidate to the Supreme Court.
Worse, his nasty pride in the telling of it . He was proud to have been a bigot in front of the Senate and the American People. He was snide and gleeful about his repugnant behavior . That tells us who he really was. ‘Don’t let the door
So does this mean the pro-Putin wing has consolidated power? At least McConnell supported Ukraine. But he got swallowed by the tiger he tried to ride instead of putting the country first.

I actually hate him for the damage he has done to our country.
MT; Very well said.
the ego on these politicans is as large as their greed and lack of humility its no wonder the general public is so disgusted with Washington

McConnell, as Schmidt says, ...tried to ride the tiger and wound up inside: Coward! Loser.

It would have been better news if he would have resigned and retired immediately.
That man can go to Hell!

In my opinion you can be powerful and still be a small person. Look at the Nazi regime for example.
Oh he was a small man...to do what he did and be proud of his actions?

Mitch did all the damage he could awaiting the Trump wrecking ball. Perhaps Chuck Schumer will take Mitch’s cue and step down as head of the Senate.
Oh I only wish, that Schumer would retire, but he probably won't! Term and age limits in all three branches of government-PLEASE!
Schumer, in the great age that he is, despite such thoughts of him as negative, knows Right from what is Wrong & has stood up to it in his political career.

Couple of things
I know of no time he was respected
His legacy is the total destruction of the gop and bringing us closer to handmaids tales
A piece of dung, his replacement has to be minority leader, and if a blue wave addition of dc and pr as states diluting the Christian nationalist bent of republicans in 21st century
And the adjustment of house to one representative to every 400,000 voters.
Turtle is a true reptile!
You are a man needed to speak in these moments. Thank you for your clarity and courage!
I’ll second that🙋♀️

hit you…….’
There are many racists, misogynists, and white Christian nationalists in the maga crowd. They kneel before their 🍊Jesus.
So does this mean the pro-Putin wing has consolidated power? At least McConnell supported Ukraine. But he got swallowed by the tiger he tried to ride instead of putting the country first.
Adios Mitch and Good Riddance to you.
You are a weak man who craved power over doing what is best for your country.
Let that be your well-deserved Political Epitaph.
