Summary
Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.
McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.
While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.
Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.
OH WOW, MITCH! THAT’S VERY FUCKING HELPFUL, MITCH MCCONNELL!
Remember that time back in March when you endorsed Trump instead of disavowing everything he stands for and then he made fun of you for it during a November campaign rally? That’s some really fucking winner shit, asshole.
Anyway, thanks for warning is about the impending disaster that you helped cause over decades of abusive politics.
Fuck you mitch. You helped get us to this point and now as you get ready to croak you start to get a spine? Just leave already
It’s all your fault you fucking geriatric turtle!
I actually don’t understand his take AT ALL. Spineless. Absolutely spineless. Then he has the audacity to wag his finger saying “I warned you”. Was January 6th not enough? Where were you when he was impeached twice? You lead your caucus to acquit.
The stroke must have taken more than just a couple of neurons. His frontal lobe must look like Swiss cheese bro.
McConnell, you motherfucker, you could have stopped this. You could have had your caucus in the Senate vote to convict, and ended the nightmare. You don’t get to complain about the “very dangerous world” you helped create.
He’s probably saying this because he’s seeing how there is a number of people that have shown they do not agree and will not be a part of people’s lives who do. That coupled with the fact that Trump will probably become obviously stupid and Evil because he’ll have no one to stop him. In other words, the danger he is talking about is that Trump will make it obvious to many people that they are getting fuckedd. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking though
of Fuck Mitch McConnell. This is his fault and he is a piece of shit who deserves misery far greater than the misery he’s passed onto the world.

Funny, McConnell is one of the people most responsible for the state of the modern Republican party. Maybe even more than Trump himself.
Makes me think of Anton Drexler. Leader of the Nazi party. He used Hitler’s popularity to further the party. Until they had a falling out and Hitler said it was Drexler or him. The party couldn’t afford to lose the most popular member so Drexler was out and Hitler was put it charge.
Too bad you never had the opportunity stop him, by say, voting on the articles of impeachment presented to the senate by the house.
Moscow Mitch is just as guilty of Treason as Trump and his associates, and people are getting sick of pussy footing around it. He fucked around, it hurt the entire country, and its past due for him to get the Aaron Burr treatment
Have another stroke asshole.
His entire career is based on 1. saying what people want to hear, then 2. stabbing them in the back. This is nothing new whatsoever. Everyone laments step 2 so much that people forget about step 1.
This, coming from a man who damn well knows he could have single-handedly put a stop to it by voting to convict Trump in either one of his impeachment trials. He still had more than enough power and influence in the GOP to get other senators to vote for a conviction. We are here because he chose not to do so. He decided, as he usually did, to put party over country. And now that the hunter has become the hunted, he has no idea what to do.
And he voted for this asshole.
This man knew the leopard was campaigning on eating his face. He voted for the leopard anyway, and is now shocked and surprised that the leopard is going to start eating his face. Fucking moron.
Besides the fact that he could have stopped this, his issue is Trump’s isolationist stances. McConnell wants to keep the US being the world police force.
Now, many on the left would say the US should stop being the world police force, and I would agree. However, Trump’s methods would result in China taking over instead of the US, and that’s not an improvement. Trump also seems determined to keep financing the military-industrial complex, even though we’d only need a fraction of it if we stopped sticking our noses everywhere.
McConnell helped to stack the supreme court with the same right wing hardliners who torpedoed any attempt to prosecute Trump. McConnell helped install judges like Eileen Cannon. McConnell refused to impeach Trump. There are so many ways in which what is happening now is directly his fault.
I think McConnell vastly underestimated to what extent those judges were going to be supporting Trump over the country. I distinctly recall that when McConnell voted against the second impeachment, he said something to the effect that it was up to the Courts to apply any punishment. Well, guess what? The Courts have said that it was up to Congress all along*! I thinking in the fleeting moments of clarity in between episodes, he really wants that vote back.
<p></p>* = more specifically, that Presidents have an immunity from prosecution over their Official Duties, which the Courts themselves define, and have defined to benefit Trump wherever possible. The only way around the self-referential power the SCOTUS gave itself is impeachment.
I thinking in the fleeting moments of clarity in between episodes, he really wants that vote back.
No he doesn’t. It was classic McConnell hypocrisy. He will say one thing and do the opposite when it’s for his team.
He’ll vote for Trump’s plans in Congress while pretending to be the reasonable politician to manipulate opinion.
I mean, based on those supreme court ruling, Biden would be able to just ‘remove’ the conservative justices and have trump and his co-conspirators tried for treason by the military as an official act due to national security concerns. The judges would have to take their case to the supreme court that they would no longer be sitting on. The most reasonable ruling would be that due to the previous precident that was just set, Biden would have immunity for that official act, and so he violated no law/precident at the time, but that moving forward presidents would not be immune from prosecution. The judges are still out of the SC, and Trump wouldn’t be president. Declare martial law until a new election can be held and pack the court with recess appointments before the next election.
Given that Trump is a massive national security concern, and has previously requested that our advisaries interfere with our elections, as well as personally interfering with our elections, oh and he also paid for the travel and hotel rooms of the main organizers of the January 6th Insurrection, which would definitely be considered providing material support to people trying to overthrow the US government.
The people who were worried about violence if Trump lost don’t seem to really understand the gravity of whats happening. There was always going to be violence
