Why would anything different happen?

Filth McConnell needs his own personal angry Lee Harvey Oswald about 8 years ago.

I wonder how some of these people can sleep at night

Does RandPaul also want people to know it greatly expands the surveillance state? REALreform is transparent.

You think maybe that is a mutually beneficial outcome for both of them?

duh

What's new?

It's funny how Rand Paul always tries to agitate but gets ignored by Republican leadership like an whiney 5 year old

McConnell is corrupt... How McConnell and Chao used political power to make their family rich via nypost

I think Mitch McConnell should go to Sentinel and offer the natives some Starbucks gift cards!

We know.

Follow the money giving to McConnell by right wing extremists groups.

Like he does for all popular legislation. He wants to only promote unpopular policies, it is the Republican way, Grand Obstructionist Party

McConnell is the most divisive and destructive politician in my lifetime. Trump grabs the headlines for his role in destroying democracy, but McConnell is the man behind him pulling the levers.

I wonder how he will feel about it after he is locked up for the rest of his miserable life.

Here my turkey for dinner!

Says the Moscow asset. Traitor

McConnell is criminal!

Because criminal justice reform would primarily benefit minorities, a liberal-leaning demographic known to vote Democrat, Mitch would prefer to keep them locked up rather than hand over more votes to the Democrats...Shame on you, Mitch!

That’s about all McConnell does...is to stop anything that is helpful or good for America....he is an abomination...

Its a harmful Racially charged bill that will impact the same communities they say they want to help We urge you to read: 1. JLUSA's statement on FirstStepAct: 2: OUR FSA POLICY BRIEF:

Well, RandPaul needs to clarify that. Show documentation on how and why.

No - his party will. Make no mistake, if this legislation was supported by his party it would be on the floor.

Mississippi should not have the same power in the Senate as California . We need to fix this.

THIS MAN NEEDS REMOVED VOTED OUT MCCONNELL IS A DISEASE TO AMERICANS

And what is Paul going to do about it? He’s nothing but a clanging cymbal!

This old goat needs to go, this man that wants cuts to Social Security and Medicare! I am glad republicans lost the House!

Kentucky has some terrible Senators, don’t they Rand?

Actual criminal justice reform would see the entire GOP crew of thieves and liars sent straight to fucking jail where they've belonged for decades. And yes, they could take a lot of Dem collaborators with them.

Only if he stops it. Some senators could stand against reform like Jeff Flake is in judges.

That's what McConnell does best.

President Trump pushes McConnell to get criminal justice reform through lame duckPres. Trump urges Mitch McConnell to pass criminal justice reform bill during lame duck session. But if they do that, half of Congress would probably go to prison. Would that be because they want to make sure all is in place before the Dem House plays?

Trump pushes McConnell to pass bipartisan criminal justice reform bill that's stalled in the SenateBut while Trump tweeted that the proposal has 'a true shot at major bipartisan support' in the Senate, it's unclear whether the bill will make it to a vote this year. What were you thinking? They have to meet with the Koch's, Mercer's & Adelson to get their approval first. Also, The private prison profiteers are screaming about this policy bc they will lose their profits. Meanwhile Trump is Dismantling Democracy and all of its institutions. Odd Trump would put a priority on a bill to reduce mandatory sentences for federal convicts. Hmmm... 🙄 This is all on McConnell, Graham admitted it. There are 80 votes in the Senate but McConnell refuses to bring it to the floor.
