The Irony Fairy Just Passed Gas. Loudly.

January 19, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Please see this quote from Mitch McConnell, complaining that Democrats aren’t rubber stamping Trump’s nominees.

 

Well well, cowboy, you sat on a Supreme Court appointment for a damn year.

So, out of 19 nominees, three of them are minorities – Elaine Chou, Nikki Haley, and Ben Carson. Whoop-de-damn-doo.  And 4 of them are hooter-toters, but two of those are also part of the three minorities.

The way I figure it, there are 15 white males that need sitting on and Betsy DeVos hardly counts a human, much less a woman.

Thanks to Don A for the heads up.

Be social and share!

  1. I think the rump should be treated just as badly as ol’ Mitch treated Obama for eight years.

  2. I’m glad I don’t have the Turtle’s nerve in my tooth. He can’t be that stupid, can he?

  3. I’m with you, Papa. He should be treated worse. There’s nobody more deserving.

    All the whiteness is casting a glare and I can’t see too good: any Hispanics in that lot? Anyone? Anyone?

    Only los grillos.

    BarbinDC, st00pid most often suffices to describe the snacilbupeR. But there’s an especially disingenuous breed of treasonous snacs like Mitch who promote a double standard and bury their history like a cat in a litter box. Only not as effectively as a cat; Mitch is really stinking up the place.

    Wasn’t but a week ago when Senator Schumer sent Mitch a copy of Mitch’s demands for President Obama’s nominees which President Obama met. Meanwhile, Orange Foolius’ people apparently are incapable of filling out a form, passing a security check or falling over an ethics bar. Mitch has apparently lost his reading glasses, his memory and his mind.

  6. The R’s are the most tin eared people in politics! Would it help to send McTurtle an ear trumpet?

  7. Ain’t this somethin’? There’s nowhere to run! The SOBs are everywhere! Mighty white up there, huh? Only Dr. Demento (the less brilliant one) and Lord knows he doesn’t count for anything. Long four years just ahead, but at two years we could do some serious damage to this lop-sided situation in the houses of Congress. Turn TVs on to non-inauguration stations. Leave them on all day and night in case Neilson is counting to figger out coverage. They ain’t countin’ mine.

  8. I don’t think he’s stupid, forgetful, or hard of hearing. He’s just a moral cripple: “We have rights and privileges and you don’t. We can reject even considering your nominees because you’re something less than human, and you have no right to reject our nominees for any reason whatsoever.” There is no arguing, debating, or compromising with such people. They have Donnie’s narcissism expanded to their whole party. “We walk on water; you stink of the flames of Hell whence you came.”

    And then they blame Obama for being divisive and not getting along with the GOP.

    I don’t mean to sound as uncompromising as they are. If they show signs of being willing to discuss and negotiate like normal people, the way politics used to work, fine. But when they slam the door on my fingers, I am not going to keep knocking.

  9. The Rethugs view diplomacy and compromise as weakness, so let’s not give them any quarter. The Party of “No!” is now going to know what it feels like.

    So Mitch the Bitch has a problem with the process the Rs insisted Obama’s candidates go through? He has a problem with Dems carrying out their Constitutional duty?

    What do you get when you cross a turtle, a pig and a jackass? Apparently you get Mitch.

    Isn’t Elaine Chao also known as Mrs Mitch McConnell?

  12. Jane & PKM says:

    Aggieland Liz, Ms Chao appears content to graft onto govt jobs courtesy of Mitch, but she probably isn’t “there yet” on admitting to being married to him. But one must admit owning a Sec of Transportation in addition to a US Senator will be quite the plum for the Chao drug cartel. Nepotism? Meh. With the growing piles of conflicts of interest, who’s counting? Donnie probably thinks he is opening trade routes to China through her family.

    Am I the only one who had a Reagan era flashback from that quote?

    “I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple…”
    –James Watt, Interior Secretary

    Gawd, I’m old.

  14. Jere Armen says:

    He also neglects to mention (if he even remembers) the unnumerable judges for district courts and appeals courts, the ambassadors and foreign service appointees that the Senate sat on for YEARS, leaving seats and positions vacant.
    So, seriously, Mitch?

  15. Mitch, the husband of Ms. Chao, is merely antsy to get his payoff for sitting on the allegations of Russian interference back in Sept.
    Whatcha wanna bet they’re big into Exxon somehow…

  16. SomedayGirl, I remember that, but I’ve tried to erase Watt entirely from my memory. (There was a big construction site outside my grad school town, and in the midst of the vast bulldozed area formerly covered with trees, someone put up a nice sign that said “James Watt National Forest.”)
