Trump actively trying to unseat McConnell.

[Crepitus]

Moscow McTurtle has sold out to China.

Mitch McConnell is the powerbroker of the US Senate, but he’s also a guy whose in-laws own a major shipping company that buys container ships from a Chinese Government company. The in-laws make money from carrying goods back and forward in deals with Chinese State Owned companies.

McConnell’s wife is a Chinese-American and also happens to be The Transportation Secretary of the US Government (!). Since Elaine Chao took up that job four years ago, her fathers company has expanded rapidly and has added 40 percent more ships. Her father, James Chao, is a shipping magnate that gave his daughter and her husband McConnell a gift of at least $5 million in 2008. That’s the conservative estimate — it might have been worth as much as $25 million dollars. (Nice in-laws if you can get them.) The largess was legally disclosed. The net worth of the political couple went from $3m in 2004 to something between $9 and $36m by 2018.

And Russia.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voted to drop sanctions from a company connected to one of Putin's closest allies, and a new report claims that the actions may directly benefit one of the major donors to the Republican Party.

A report from the political group theDemocratic Coalition revealed ties that the Kentucky senator has to a company called Access Industries, which is owned by Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik. Access Industries donated $3.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC run by McConnell's former chief of staff.

Rusal, the aluminum company partially owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, announced plans to invest around $200 million to build a new aluminum plant in Kentucky just months after the Trump administration removed it from the U.S. sanctions list.

The new aluminum plant, slated to be built in the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be the biggest new aluminum plant constructed in the U.S. in decades. Rusal will have a 40 percent stake in the facility.

Informative, thank you.

The former guy is trying to get rid of his stanchest supporter and best protector, Mitch McConnell. It's a rare case of doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons, but I hope he's successful just this once.

Trump Looks for Challenger to Depose Mitch McConnell as Split Widens

The GOP’s most influential figure and its top elected official are divided on policy, politics and who should lead the party in the future.

Well....Mitch helped create the monster. Now he has to deal with him.

 

[JimH52]

McConnell is a gutless Wahington Establishment prick who only cares about keeping his job - always has been.

He hates being in the majority, out in front where people can see you & where you are expected to lead. It is better, to him, to criticize from the back rather than risk making a mistake while trying to lead.

He needs to go.

Mitch is not going anywhere. He has delivered to much to his state. trump will lose this one....

Any body else appreciate the irony?

That's nothing I have wanted McConnell unseated for years.

 

[GMCGeneral]

As much as I loathe RINO Republicans like Moscow Mitch, at least he's doing his fucking job against the Democrats. And that is to oppose at all costs.

Staunchest supporter? Really Crepitus or were you lacking material today and felt like a rant?

Moscow Mitch McConnell, the self proclaimed "grim reaper of legislation" has caused nearly two decades of gridlock. He's got to go.

Honestly, I could maybe live with that unless it affected the debt. The gop has had no problem with debt so long as it went to tax cuts largely for the wealthy, elective war not necessary for our survival, pimping up equity and bond prices (but not housing) ... but debt for healthcare, educ, food or anything to stimulate workers purchasing goods and possibly growing the econ .... COMMUNISM.

But there's a definite irony in Trump trying to unseat the guy who insured congress would not roll back his "repurposing" money allocated for other purposes to build his wall

Which is childish and unamerican and undemocratic.

No, it isn't. When you consider the "progressive" crap that we got stuck with through the years, we need Conservatives to fight back. Not cooperate, not negotiate, never compromise, never play nicey-nice with the enemy, which are Democrats.

Typical republican.
Claims they love America but doesn't want to support it.
Republicans raised the debt ceiling 3 times under the orange grifter.
Now they don't want to pay for the $8 trillion debt they accumulated with Trump, no matter what the damage, just like the orange idiot.

Is that what your media tells you... Next time while they are feeding you this, ask why they have no evidence that has seen inside a court where it could be verified...

Just ask yourself, with all those accusations, why no investigations? no court cases?

Remember Hillary Clinton, 'Lock her Up'... Notice how didn't actually even investigate her never mind actually charging her in court...
That make Trump a liar, corrupt or highly incompetent... Pick your poison...

There are two different rules of law in our nation. One applies to high level democrats like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. The other stricter rule of law applies to the little people and outsiders to politics like Donald Trump.

Is America Ruled By Law or Ruled by Power?

Hillary Clinton is a felon many times over.
