Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.

McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.

While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.

Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.

    McConnell, you motherfucker, you could have stopped this. You could have had your caucus in the Senate vote to convict, and ended the nightmare. You don’t get to complain about the “very dangerous world” you helped create.

      He’s probably saying this because he’s seeing how there is a number of people that have shown they do not agree and will not be a part of people’s lives who do. That coupled with the fact that Trump will probably become obviously stupid and Evil because he’ll have no one to stop him. In other words, the danger he is talking about is that Trump will make it obvious to many people that they are getting fuckedd. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking though

    Funny, McConnell is one of the people most responsible for the state of the modern Republican party. Maybe even more than Trump himself.

      Makes me think of Anton Drexler. Leader of the Nazi party. He used Hitler’s popularity to further the party. Until they had a falling out and Hitler said it was Drexler or him. The party couldn’t afford to lose the most popular member so Drexler was out and Hitler was put it charge.

    I actually don’t understand his take AT ALL. Spineless. Absolutely spineless. Then he has the audacity to wag his finger saying “I warned you”. Was January 6th not enough? Where were you when he was impeached twice? You lead your caucus to acquit.

    The stroke must have taken more than just a couple of neurons. His frontal lobe must look like Swiss cheese bro.

    This, coming from a man who damn well knows he could have single-handedly put a stop to it by voting to convict Trump in either one of his impeachment trials. He still had more than enough power and influence in the GOP to get other senators to vote for a conviction. We are here because he chose not to do so. He decided, as he usually did, to put party over country. And now that the hunter has become the hunted, he has no idea what to do.

    And he voted for this asshole.

    This man knew the leopard was campaigning on eating his face. He voted for the leopard anyway, and is now shocked and surprised that the leopard is going to start eating his face. Fucking moron.

      His entire career is based on 1. saying what people want to hear, then 2. stabbing them in the back. This is nothing new whatsoever. Everyone laments step 2 so much that people forget about step 1.
