Mitch, Mitch, Bo Bitch, Banana Fanna, Fo Fitch …
Well, we learned how to upset him. With any luck at all, we’ll give him an existential crisis where he’ll have to run to the senate floor and deny that he’s the love child of Nikita Khrushchev and Leon Trotsky.
Allow me to introduce Moscow Mitch.
Deb T has some other suggestions: How about Comrade Cornyn or Red Rand?
Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
We just gotta keep harping on Moscow Mitch. Rile him up. Good to get under his skin.
Oh, yes, and please support the efforts of https://maddogpac.com/
who are busily putting up excellent billboards everywhere. Check out the ones they’ve been putting up in KY, including “Russian Mob Money…Really, Mitch??
He should be hit with this every time he heads home trying to move the needle on his unpopularity in KY.
VOTE HIM OUT!!!
1he looks so normal…ruski
2How about (the) Moskva McTurtle?
Moskva being the river that flows through Moscow…
3Moscow Mitch,
Cocaine Mitch.
Is there a
Crime you
Won’t commit,
Mitch.
Simple enough to be shouted at Mitch every time he pops his turtle head into view. Repeated enough it might even tip off the media that there are several rotten someones in DeeCee.
Richard Burr (Rodent-VA) also needs to be branded with a T for treachery. VA, your odds?
4Moscow Mitch is Donnie’s bitch.
5Sorry but I am about to give up. No matter who we vote for the Russian hackers are already committed to changing the tallies in the computerized voting machine system. Without changes we cannot stop them. No matter who we vote in or out the Moscow Bitches will win. I have decided that no matter how cynical I become it is never enough.
6Richard Bennick: now is not the time to give up. Find a local organization registering people to vote. Write postcards with the PostcardsToVoters.com folks. Stacy Abrams, who was on the receiving end of kind of racist dirty trick and who should be Governor of Georgia but isn’t, isn’t giving up. Find kindred spirits and get busy.
7Richard@6–I know the feeling. The midterms gave me a small bit of hope that sanity will prevail in this country. We shall see.
Ted@5–You have inspired me with your rhyming ability, so here goes:
Traitor Trump is Putin’s chump,
On America they are taking a dump.
Moscow Mitch is Donnie’s bitch,
His loyalty is to the rich, rich, rich.
There is room for improvement in both of these. Feel free to modify and expand.
8Jane & PKM –
It is with regret that I must inform you that Virginia’s Senators are Mark Warner and Tim Kaine. It is North Carolina that must bear the shame of having Richard Burr as one of its Senators.
9If he shakes of the Russian taunts successfully I’ve got round 2 ready to go: Mitch McVey. In honor of his deliberate destruction of the federal government for the purpose of militia-driven white supremecist chaos.
10Bob Boland@9. Thank you and no regrets. It should have crossed my mind that VA is Blue ergo … Guess I was subconsciously leaping to put NC into play by magically relocating it. Maybe we can get a NC/SC package deal – vote Blue or your outer islands sink.
11How about #comrade Yertle?
12I know I am but what are you?
Hissy Mitch.
These accusations and others like them clearly bothered McConnell.
But when he fought back against the criticisms on Monday, his response displayed a laughable amount of hypocrisy. Everything he accused his opponents of, President Donald Trump is guilty of ten times over, yet McConnell offers little pushback to the cyberbully in chief.
“Among other things, keeping our republic means we can’t let modern-day McCarthyism win,” he said. “No matter how much they lie, no matter how much they bully, I will not be intimidated.”
Trump’s lying and bullying are plain to see, but he is also a direct descendant of McCarthyism. Trump was close to Roy Cohn, a top ally of Sen. Joe McCarthy during the Republican’s hunt for communists in the U.S. government. To this day, Trump still expresses admiration for Cohn and even repeatedly shared his desire to have an attorney general who would act as “my Roy Cohn.” And it’s Trump, not Democratic critics of Russia’s actual election interference and espionage, who invokes the spirit of McCarthyism as he stirs up baseless attacks on his perceived opponents as “communists.”
To defend against criticism, McConnell claimed that his record shows a history of standing up to Russia. And that may be true, but that makes it all the more baffling why he’s slow-walking election security bills now and refusing to bring up measures for the Senate to actually debate.

13As much as I dislike Joe Scarborough, he’s performed a real public service with his vociferous usage of the appellation “Moscow Mitch”.
