Oh shove it, monster-hands. Like you wouldn’t kill to have a person like Orban in the senate.

Mitch only wants the GOP to worship him.
He’s easily jealous.

McConnell’s criticism shows a real divide in the GOP; it’s concerning to see some conservatives supporting a leader like Orbán, especially when he aligns with our global adversaries.

> fellow Republicans fawning over Hungary’s Viktor Orbán
Like his party’s presidential candidate, for instance?

Mitch, you’re Victor Frankenstein in this scenario. This new GOP party is your monster. Own it.

And yet McConnell was too cowardly to call out the cancer in his own party trying to shift the USA toward the same type of authoritarian state Orban has.

Viktor Orban, “who is so great and powerful and highly respected!!” whose government recently said they would literally just surrender if they got in a war with Russia, and who also literally hosts chinese police stations in their country.

You did this Mitch. You created this pile of shit, now lie it it.

Mitch, in the twilight of his years, looks around him at the shithouse he very much helped build, and wonders what the hell happened.

Hungary 20% Inflation!! Strong leader!

McConnell is right to denounce them. They won’t actually stop fawning, of course. Christian nationalists can’t seem to get enough of “strong man” rulers like Putin and Orbán.
“What Weyrich also started to realize was that [Russian President Vladmiri] Putin — who was rising to power throughout the early aughts — was starting to harness the rhetoric of the Orthodox Church by talking about Russia’s spiritual heritage and its Christian values. And he was doing that as somebody who increasingly did not have to wait for Congress or courts or anyone else to make decisions. Weyrich realizes that this kind of governance structure — with a strong man at the top who uses the powers of the church — is probably the most effective way to build the kind of nation that he wants. What results is a sense that Putin — and eventually Viktor Orbán in Hungary — are examples of the kind of leaders that Christian nationalists want. There’s a sense that democracy may have to be martyred in order to save the American nation.”

I’m sure in his mind he’s trying to figure out how we got here and I’m also sure that he feels no responsibility for it.

Who gives a flying fuck what Mitch McConnell has to say about anything? What a gutless, servile and pathetic excuse for a man. He didn’t care enough about this country to speak out when it mattered, so he can shut the hell up now.

YOU HELPED DO THIS MITCH! No go involuntarily pause in the corner for 3 hours and think about what you did.

When Mitch passes away, Republicans will call him a communist and spit on his grave.

McConnell helped contribute to the stupidity in today’s GOP. He did a lot of damage himself.

Hey, look at this. This is actual, legitimate signaling of the “cracks” in MAGA, and foreshadowing of February if Harris wins and is certified and is inaugurated.
People keep talking about Dick Cheney and now Jeff Flake providing “permission structures” for republicans to vote Harris or withhold votes from Trump. But there is only one **permission** that counts, his polling. If it looks like he’s losing, for sure, the splintering will accelerate. Half his knuckle dragging backers don’t want to vote for a loser. as soon as he’s a loser, they will say they never knew him, weren’t actually big fans.
But the opportunists? The ones who want to rule a rebuilding post-MAGA party? That’s McConnell. Watch what he does.

That’s Trumps character witness. How dare they? In the debate Trump told everyone how good of a guy Orban thought he was.

Dude, fuck you. You had two chances to rid yourself of the monster you created and you took neither. Your denouncements mean nothing now.

Mcconnell is increasingly seemingly like someone who is now just realizing how extreme and out of control his party has become. And that he has little time or will to try to fix it.

The irony of this is it’s coming from someone known as Moscow Mitch!

Even one of the worst Republicans of all time can be right once in awhile. Fuck you, Mitch. You made this.

Guys, he got what he wanted.
Stacking the judiciary was his biggest goal. He’s openly spoke about it. The hat trick of SC justices during Trump’s term will probably ensure he dies happy.
He’ll never regret what it’s costing us.

Fuck Orban. Fuck Republicans. But mostly fuck that old turtle.

This is a MF’r I never thought I’d agree with or be grateful for their input, but good on ya for once Mitch. Oh how your party has turned to dog shit. Hopefully after Trump looses yet again folks can get their tongue out of his ass and start thinking for themselves again. One can only hope 🤞🏼
