McConnell warns Democrat majority to back off subpoenas that attempt to prove corruption in the supreme Court.
McConnell tells Senate Democrats to back off on Supreme Court
Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he's implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
"You won't like me if I get... uncivil" is the most Senate threat in the book.
Nevermind that we've got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
He's never been willing to work for the American people. Only the elite who can pay for his services.
You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
Time to start flexing our muscles to remind these assholes of that fact.
They don't work for your just like Facebook or google don't work for your, you are the merchandise they are selling.
You are being pimped out. You are being sold down the river.
I get that he has to fight this, for political reasons, but this is the dumbest fucking rebuttal ever
What he’s targeting here is private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday
The Supreme Court is hardly your average citizen and Congress absolutely has reasons to investigate potential corrupt in the Supreme Court.
Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that "poor wittle pwivate citizen"
Also, calling billionaires "private citizens" seems wrong to me. If you've managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you're no longer a "private citizen" in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn't spend a single dime, and STILL don't have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you're not a "private citizen" you're a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I'm concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.
Congress is literally tasked with setting up the court system in the constitution. Through, you know, legislation. He's talking out of his ass.
It's the billionaires he is saying are private citizens, he's trying to protect his doners from humiliation
He's afraid that we'll find out he was involved in blackmailing Anthony Kennedy.
Fuck all the way off back to Moscow, Mitch.

calling such a move "totally inappropriate."
And this from someone who openly, shamelessly rigs the court.
The Dems should take it as a clue to keep going
McConnel warns to stop proving again and again how massive the corruption is in the republicans as there might be a democrat or two that might get swept up in it. I mean they got that guys son filling out the form wrong already.
Or what? You guys will do a worse job?
What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?
Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We're...REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.
Unfortunately in the case of some.
Sincerely, a critical care nurse
Congress gets the second-best government funded healthcare in the nation, possibly in the world.
For life, btw.
Necromancers
Nah, Cheney is kept alive with technology, like Darth Vader. McConnell is kept alive through dark magic, like Emperor Palpatine. Totally different.
Mitch is afraid that the court they worked so hard to pack with their CORRUPT hacks will be undone.
It's funny how much conservatives struggle with finding people who aren't criminals and frauds. Almost like there is something fundamental about them that attracts horrible people and repels everyone else.
Cool, how about instead we focus on corruption in the department of transportation in, say, 2017-2021?
That, to me, is more than enough reason to issue more subpoenas and investigate even further.
Shut the fuck up Mitch.
Or else what f-tard
"..."
-Mitch McConnell
I love that this could either be his quoted response or just an emoticon of his face.

This is the most important part. Whenever Republicans do shit like this, a Democrat, preferably a much younger one, should say, "I'd like to address the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky with the following question: Or you'll what?" Call their bluff and watch them fold like this shit was a game of Texas Hold 'Em.
I don't see anything in the body of the article that could be called a warning. More like whining.
Man has a fuckin synth recall code where he just shuts down in the middle of speaking so I am widely unconcerned with his whining, warnings, or threats.
Or what? He's gonna molt another layer of skin at us? Fuck off Glitch removed
Oh yeah? Well let me tell you something Moscow . . .
. . .
. . .
(Look, just retire, okay? FFS.)
I am waiting until they can't reset one of the "blue screens of death" in his operating system. Then we get a Mitch statue that holds a platter of dildos at parties.
I can see he is out of his standing coma and talking again
This was a patch to the software, it is not expected to last long, they have been advised to upgrade to new hardware, but for some reason they are intent on kicking this dead horse.
Hopefully EA will acquire him soon and stuff him full of microtransactions.
He's just protecting his legacy of corrupting the courts.
Did he manage to say the whole sentence, or did he freeze and need a reboot?
They just unplugged him and plugged him back in, problem solved
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Beware the dead-eyed stare of Senator Screensaver.
BSOD
Suck a cock old man
And i tell Mitch to go fuck himself.
This may be too enjoyable, so let's add...
With a running chain saw ☺️
He knows he's next
They should do him first and just grill his ass for 20 hours until he strokes out for good. Let the whole world watch him shit his pants and keel over live on c-span
He also threatened his own caucus against supporting the Hawley Bill to take money out of government. Super super corrupt that McConnell would do all this. Same week no less.
He also said that it is important that the Supreme Court is allowed to work independently and
he was like oh shit im getting a lot of good press by standing strong on ukraine against my party better do something about it
He's not standing strong though. He's demanding legislative validation of far right conspiracy bullshit in exchange for Ukraine aid.
I love that occasional thread where you just scroll through upvoting almost every comment.
McConnell will be dead inside of the 2024 election.
He's already dead inside.
One can only hope
He’s already apparently the walking dead.
One can only hope so.
Low effort but accurate.
Criminals and their coconspirators don't want to be investigated? Shocking!
God damn, can you even imagine what Congress would look like if senior officials were getting pestered with subpoenas by gloryhound committee chairs straight into a big election cycle?
Haha, I called it yesterday. "No Legislative Purpose" is Republicans' new "Get Out of Subpoenas, Free!" Card.
That senile walrus is at it again. 🤬
Senator or animatronic halloween decoration? You decide!
Hey Turtle McPalpatine ➡️ 🖕
How about Mitch backoff deez nuts
Freeze!
Someone needs to make the c/removedmcturtle sub
There are no subs here... Only communities.... Downvoted
Why should anyone listen to that old turtle?
He warns them? " Do you want a decent healthcare system and good education! I"m warning you that's what's gonna happen if you end this kind of corruption!"
Holy shit, right? Wouldn't it be terrible if government started to actually "drain the swamp" and do someing to help mass amounts of people instead of just the wealthy few. What a novel concept. (Just in case /s)
Or he’s gonna start crying and he won’t stop.
As much of a soulless ghoul he is, he opposes trump. I hope he keeps his position in the Senate until the 2024 election then promptly drops dead.
He doesn't oppose Trump. Not in any meaningful way, anyway. McConnell was the reason Trump got to replace 3 Supreme Court justices. He knows exactly how awful Trump is, but does not care if it means Republicans wield power.
He may not like Trump, but he voted twice to protect Trump from the consequences of abusing his executive power while in office. That's not exactly what I would call "opposition."
And the Democrats will fold. That's what they do.
