Mitch McConnell Goes Nuclear

Read more here:

"Senate Republicans used the “nuclear option” Wednesday to unilaterally reduce debate time on most presidential nominees, the latest in a series of changes to the fabric of the Senate to dilute the power of the minority.

The move by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) immediately paves the way to expedite confirmations of President Donald Trump’s judicial and executive branch picks and comes amid deep GOP frustration with Democrats’ delays. Future presidents will benefit, too, though McConnell and Trump stand to gain inordinately as they seek to fill 130 District Court vacancies during the 18 months before the 2020 elections."

Amazing how McConnell just doesn’t burst into flames

[Mrmedia]

How can anyone be proud to be a Republican at this point?

[HimboVegan]

Mitch is going to go down in history as the single worst senator of all time.

democracy dies a little bit every day in the US

Merrick Garland wasn't blocked by the filibuster. He wasn't given a hearing or vote at all. So blaming the Democrats for not getting rid of the filibuster for the sake of Garland's nomination is nonsense. Also, they didn't have the power to do that since Republicans controlled the Senate at the time.

It’s so pathetic it’s not even funny anymore. His photo should be next to the word “hypocrisy” in every dictionary.

Where tf is a heart attack or cancer threat when you need one?? The Evil Turtle needs to go!!!

[castroa]

We need Kentucky to kick McConnell out of the seat!

[joekev]

If I wanna be an electrician for the city I have to sit through a 6 hour test as my application but your saying if your gonna be a judge for life you only need 2 hours to decide that.

[TheArmchairrocker]

The Chair recognizes the turtle from Kentucky.. .

I'm surprised the room didn't burst into laughter when Bitch called it unprecedented obstruction

[EPSTomcat]

I’m thinking of starting a petition to stop showing close-up pictures of Mitch McConnell. He makes me want to vomit 🤢

[Etheoma]

I am surprised when Mitch said, "I come to the floor to discuss the unprecedented obstruction" Someone didn't just go "HA!"

[bonesawisready]

The most amazing part is, while McConnell stands there and says this with a straight face, he knows full well he's talking about seats which are largely only open because of the unprecedented obstruction in appointed judges done by Republicans under McConnell's leadership during the Obama administration.

[kimmiwertz]

I guess McConnell has an extremely short memory when it comes to how he acted towards Obama.

[t.crave]

Mitch McConnel talking makes me feel physically ill

[alexanderthegreat]

The hypocrisy continues to reach new levels...

[l.s.]

I wish they had a "laughing my ass off" emoji for some of these videos. McConnell and his cronies continue to give the American people the big fat finger every day, smiling while they do it.

[carolinemaybe]

Why isn’t this being screamed all over MSM today? I didn’t see it anywhere. This is the long term damage being done.

[timkleyn]

Cenk educated and convinced me on this. Really enjoyed this segment. Keep it up!
