Then get on his ass

senatemajldr why won't you allow a vote? 🤔

Send him back to the pond!

Who is DT going to blame now?

If only there was something an overwhelming majority could do to affect the action of its elected leader ...

But mconnel is in the pocket of a corrupt president. It will never happen

Senator McConnell obstructs his own party as well as everything else. The guy is not a public servant, he is a nuisance.

That's a problem...

hansonDigby Maybe, chuckgrassley, since McConnell keeps refusing to bring bills to the floor for a vote...even bills w/overwhelming bipartisan support...your party needs a new leader. I'm just sayin'.

Get rid of McConnell. This guy is bad for our country.

The treason turtle obstructs republican governments almost as much as democratic ones. Why the hell is Mitch McConnell in charge of anything?

McConnell Is a Traitor to America, the Rule Of Law and Our Democracy...

This bill is bad and this is good

Are he and his cronies getting any donations from the for-profit prisons?

We all know McConnell sucks in his position - we will remember that he could care less about Americans and only about his power in the corruptness under Trump.

There is always uncertainty over how a politician with no track record will behave in office, but as we noted earlier, antidemocratic leaders are often identifiable before they come to power.
