Surely one of the top-10 setup/callbacks in TV history.
“… as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price…”
Exactly so. Not so funny or acceptable when the shoe is on the other foot, is it, MM?
Karma is a bitch, as we used to say.
The most basic tenet of a civilized society is “treat others as you wish to be treated”; many Republicans have forgotten, ignored or disavowed that. Now they’ll have to live, at least for a while, in the society they’ve helped create.

#RussianRubio carries water for #MoscowMitch , attempting to blame the demands for security against Russian election hacking on Russian election hackers:
Likely some truth to that. Russian agitprop was aimed at inciting white racists and provoking their black opponents. Provoke blue collar whites against Hillary, convince black folks that voting was futile, but especially voting for Hillary. Lies are fluid, its truth that is stubbornly inflexible.
McConnell rams thru 13 more judges today.
But topping McConnell’s list were Senate votes this week confirming 13 of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees. The actions bring to more than 140 the number of judges confirmed by the Senate since Trump took office in 2017.
McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, called the Senate votes “big progress for the federal judiciary,” adding that “for too long, thoroughly uncontroversial judicial nominees just like these have been held up and delayed by our Democratic colleagues.”
Frustrated by delays in confirming dozens of lower-profile nominees, McConnell and Senate Republicans rammed through a rules change this spring that cut back debate on most of Trump’s picks.
The 13 judges approved this week marks a decrease from the 19 judicial nominees Senate Republicans had planned to confirm before leaving Washington until September. Six other nominees are expected to get a vote once the Senate returns.
Moscow Mitch: Selling out America for thirty pieces of aluminum .
MoscowMitch breaks his shoulder .
McConnell’s injury comes as Democrats demand he reconvenes the Senate to pass gun control legislation after a pair of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio this weekend left 29 people dead.
Let me guess: He’s using ACA to pay the expenses?
Protip: Don’t leave bags of NRA boodle lying around on the floor.
Agreed. It seems to really be getting under his skin, and therefore might even do some good for the country.
Rep. Ted Lieu has a question for Mitch McConnell (posted yesterday):
Dear @senatemajldr : The House of Representatives, on a bipartisan basis, passed common sense gun safety legislation to the Senate. You are blocking those bills from coming to a vote.
Please let the entire nation know when you will allow a vote on gun safety legislation.
I’m guessing the 12th of Never.
Maybe McConnell injured his shoulder while carrying away a sack of gold.
CNBC :
• The National Rifle Association spent $1.6 million during the first half of the year lobbying Congress against laws that would enact stricter background checks for people looking to buy guns, according to disclosure reports.
• One of the dozens of bills targeted by the NRA is H.R. 8, a bipartisan proposal that passed the Democratic-controlled House in February and has yet to be taken up by the GOP-controlled Senate.

How about a Moscow Mitch home made you tube song?
At the very least, you have to give that you tuber an A for effort!
I hope he gets addicted to opioids and winds up giving handjobs for votes.
