Mitch McConnell is the Apex Predator of U.S. politics

McConnell has been around so long people think they know him. But they don’t, and that is by design. When you are the apex predator of U.S. politics. . .

“Obama Disturber” works too

The article is bovine excrement, total leftist hysteria.

But, if there is an Apex Predator around I want him on my side.

The fact of the matter is that the article is wrong. The Turtle is not the apex predator. Randy Orton is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n33PD9ZfLzk&feature=youtu.be

Any day liberals are crying is a good day.

I remember someone asking about W’s cabinet, whether they were doves or hawks.

When they asked about Rumsfeld, the answer was “Velociraptor”.

Best political comment, ever.

Mitch has the long term vision. He knows the difference between normal politics like a budget that has impact for a year or two, and federal judges that have impact for a generation or two. This is his legacy, he wrote a book about it.

Well, he does have the RKO...

[chief lee runamok]

"..McConnell is transforming the federal judiciary from sometimes-defenders of the poor, immigrants and people of color.."

The author admits the judiciary exists to deliver liberal demands into law.

This one should get a written rebuke from everyone here. Not that Fineman’s whining about relentless and determined way Mac moves toward victory. Compare JmC to George Wallace is just silly liberal rhetorical nonsense (when are the Dems ever stop wrapping themselves in the Civil Rights cloak?)

No, Fineman once more publicly calls a conservative (sort of) a non human. Dehumanization is one of the classic steps to communal violence, expulsion, mass murder and elimination. There is no place in the US for this sort of thing.

This is amusing and they meant it to be serious.

This is a meme McConnell will no doubt embrace. This article will be passed around in his office.

these people who write this stuff are such a joke.

[jimfree]

A very cool code name it would be.

[fhayek]

I have a saying: You can tell that our side is doing it right by the shrieks from the freaks.

[cyclotic]

Exactly. I’m not a massive Mitch fan, but his legacy with judges and justices is absolutely stellar.

“Gamera” would be awesome.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Absolutely right. McConnell is brilliant as a majority leader because he squeezes every last win possible out of his RINO filled caucus. He doesn’t do losing votes just to make a statement or send a message, but he gets every important win possible.

Who’s the nadir prey?

Apex Predator Turtle is not so bad...
