The former Senate GOP leader spoke out on Trump and his team Thursday as he received the Star of Ukraine Award from the US-Ukraine Foundation.

Blocking Garland’s nomination
Allowing Garland to become a feckless AG
Acquitting Trump twice
Stacking the court 6–3
Abusing the filibuster
Sabotaging election security
Fueling division and dysfunction

Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.

Burn in hell, Mitch.

    That is already a headline describing reality right now. Putin has won more than he ever would have expected.

    Also fuck that ghoul, who more than anyone else (except perhaps Putin himself) was the person responsible for this situation. Hope your death will be long and painful.

    I’d welcome him to the right side of history since he now understands the situation, but he has realized too late that this was all his fault. Less whining, more taking responsibility for this.

      How could this possibly Moscow Mitch’s fault!?

      I can’t wait till he dies so I can book my flight to piss on his grave.

      Mitch never saw a “War with Russia” bill he didn’t endorse. He’s old school Neocon and was wholly on board with the project for post-Soviet US global hegemony. I don’t think its strictly fair to say “Russia Wins, America Loses” is his fault, because he was working overtime to get to a future in which Wall Street and The Pentagon controlled it all.

      But his all-in bet on Moderate Amounts of Fascism tipped the board. He put far too much effort in winning the next electoral cycle in pursuit of a permanent Republican Majority. And when he finally got what he wanted - not once, in '16 but twice with a second GOP clean sweep in '24 - he looked up to discover the prize came with strings attached.

      Turns out, the US isn’t the only country that can meddling with elections and affect regime change through soft power. Now we’re getting a wave of modern White Nationalism that’s aligning DC, Moscow, and perhaps London and Berlin depending on how the chips fall in the next few elections. Its not America or Russia that’s winning, but a cartel of plutocrats and their bloodthirsty groyper minions, in an unholy new internationalist Axis of Evil.

        the deep irony is that the people electing the globalists are frothed up to do so by the fear of globalism.

          Not these globalists though, it’s the (((globalists))) they’re afraid of.

          I’m pretty sure that’s the “secret” notation for Jews these days but I don’t run in those circles so I could be wrong about that.

      the right has no room in it to consider the possibility that the hippies, punks, black panthers, or any other anti-authoritarian movement, has a point until it’s already too late.

      Reminds me of German chancellor Franz von Papen. He was instrumental in bringing Hitler to power but he never accepted responsibility for it, even though he lived until 1969!

      He’s not the majority leader any more, and without all the sycophants flattering and distracting him, it turns out that someone has been systematically sabotaging US democracy going back years.

      He is desperately trying to redeem his legacy for future historians, now that he realizes he is going to be taking the blame in future history books for enabling the MAGA scourge. He has finally figured out that he will be remembered as one of the worst, most destructive, Americans in history. He deserves it.

      I hope he believes in God so he can live in terror of the afterlife during whatever life he has left.
