Um, didn't Mitch just decide a day or so ago that he was 100% confident that the Dems WOULDN'T "attack the key Senate rules" (presume he's talking about the Filibuster here) since Sinema and Manchin gave their double pinky, swear-on-their-blackened-hearts PROMISE that they would "never" vote to eliminate the Filibuster?

I was momentarily relieved that we'd be able to stop the insanely radical plans the Dems seem to have to "Change America" (TM) - for about an hour or two - until it hit me that Manchin and Sinema's "promises" are probably worth DIDDLY. Yet, McConnell - as he pretty much ALWAYS does, backed away from his one position of power and all he got back was a double pinky "but, I swear!" promise.

The fact he's now Tweeting threats today sure gives me the impression he's now not so confident in those double pinky promises after all.

They don't call Republicans the Stupid Party for nothing. Mitch better have a thermonuclear warhead or ten up his sleeve to respond with if they pull anything - which I'd almost guarantee they will.

Don't Tweet Mitch.
Gab instead.
Tweeting is feeding the crocodile that is about to devours you.

Ha! If master Xi calls, China Mitch will capitulate.

It’s pathetic to see a swamp creature like China Mitch pretend that he has a spine and mind of his own.

[RummyChick]

anyone know what in particular prompted the tweet? Or is he just trying to flex muscle?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Were his lips moving?

90% of what’s wrong with the Senate comes under the heading of “comity”.

The official word for reach-across (and around).

[Defiant]

Translation: You can steal the presidency, and I don’t care, but if you attempt to take my ability to get “donations” by making my minority meaningless, that would be going too far.

[Red Badger]

If they did, Mitch, there ain’t a damn thing you could do about it......................

“McConnell’s empty and frivolous threats about ‘scorched earth’ don’t scare us, especially since he has almost no power now. We’ve already been under McConnell’s tyrannical rule while Trump was in the White House, and nothing could be worse than that.”

I’m convinced we need a younger more dynamic face and voice to o the leadership.

[1Old Pro]

I hate to tell Mitch, just allowing those clowns from the House to walk articles of impeachment into the Senate Chamber already broke all reasonable decorum. It's a folly, a joke and defaces the institution. He needs to throw the gauntlet down, and hard.

Fact is Mitch, you ehould have done away with this BS, and you would have got a lot more done.

Comical in a tragic sort of way.

When Democrats control an institution, the rules are what they say they are and will be subject to revision, elimination or selective enforcement as it best suits their goals.

Same with tradition or historical precedent. These things only matter when it benefits them.

[existentially_kuffer]

Frankly, I don’t give two hoots what RINO Mitch whines about!

[ProudDeplorable]

I think Mitch is a bit naive in regards to what the Dems goals are.

[Diogenesis]

McConnell AGAIN acts as if controlled by cocaine and
his CCP-controlled wife and her odious drugs.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Tough talking turtle.

[petitfour]

He trusted RATS?
