While I respect your point in this story, if you only tweet negative stories about one side of the political spectrum, you’re just a propaganda outlet, not a truly credible news source. PravdaToday

Sounds like a personal problem🙄⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️senatemajldr woohoooo

And in 2020 will vote for Trumps pick. He is a Republican. By the way - has anybody seen Ruth Bader Ginsburg lately?

Shall we look at what Harry Reid blocked?

This man needs to go.

As obummer said winning has consequences. It’d be okay if it were democrats right?

Why old news? So uninteresting. Did you know about the illegal immigrant who killed 12 elderly women? Haven’t seen that story.

Biden Rule.

McConnell is a poor excuse for a human being. Born without a conscience!

Are they still whining about a Supreme court pick

Pharisees

McConnell is corrupt and should be treated and prosecuted for it.

Yeah that’s how it’s done...would have thought you knew that. Obummer didn’t do it because he thought hitlery was going to win (after all he was spying for her)

All you old dudes need to resign and let the younger generation serve. You have done enough damage!

It was the right thing to do.. it’s clear there is a liberal network in place to support not the people but the quest for power of the left and they have been making politically biased motions in the 9th circuit court

Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy in a non-election year.

He's Koch Brothers bought and paid for.

Disgraceful Disingenuous One-Eyed Grub!

Slow news day?

McConnell is as un-American as they come. He legacy is one of obstruction.

Its why USA is dictatorship! No democracy allows single person to be in government this long! Puppet masters and their puppets!

Effective!

Later, we’ll explain how rain is made. idiots

You’d be foolish to think Democrats wouldn’t do the same thing

Time for him to go!

The GOP is having the WORST DAY EVER

senatemajldr is a taxpayer funded lobbyist for billionaires. The most un-American, conniving, unethical, obstructing, lying, hypocritical, least credible, career politician ever to take the 'oath.' Bought and paid for... the 'worst' money can buy. GOPCoward DitchMitch2020

Mitch can go jump in a ditch DitchMitch2020

senatemajldr is stacking the courts with incompetent racist, unqualified right wing judges to set an ultra conservative racist court, trying to stop the “browning” of America. In the end, traitorMitchMcConnell will pay a price.

And? It’s always political...Duh

Weasel!

Politics. Begets politics

I thought it sucked that he did it then. I felt horrible for the feckless Democrats. Since then...I've learned that I don't believe they deserve the responsibility. Things change....otherwise Biden wouldn't have flip-flopped on the crime bill.

Mitch McConnell needs to be taken off of Capitol Hill, and out of the US government in any capacity. His interests and the interests of the people of the United States do not match. It seems his interests are bound to doom Humanity, all in the name of greed and capitalism.

Cronie.

Who cares. Politicians need to go to work. Congress hasnt done anything but fight for 2 years. They need to do something positive or go home

What did Schumer, Reid and Obama say about this

Get over it

....and as of today-- no more mister nice guy

Why is anyone surprised that Mitch McConnell is soulless and incorrigibly corrupt?

He had every right to !

Not for Obama, but OK for Trump: McConnell says he'd confirm Supreme Court justice in election year.If a Supreme Court vacancy emerges next year, Mitch McConnell will fill it, the Senate majority leader said. The comment diverges from his decision to not consider President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination after the sudden death of Justice Scalia. I hear this guy named Garland is interested.... The rules seem to change to fit the majority leader’s plans. Not to be trusted. So many people believe Trump is the 'problem' ….truth is it's McConnell who is ruining this country...hopefully this jerk will be voted out right along with Trump.

Trump administration rolls back Obama-era health care protections for transgender peopleRights groups denounced the move as a license to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans. At what point do we say ENOUGH! Donald Trump is the 'most transparent' President in history. 😂😂😂😂😜 But I thought Donald J Trump loves the LGBTQ community. Best people ever. I mean that’s what that pile of human feces said anyways...
