BREAKING: Ukraine To Lose Top Republican Senate Seat
World · Feb 28, 2024 · BabylonBee.com
Quote
KYIV — President Zelenskyy was devastated today to learn that come November, Senator Mitch McConnell's retirement will deprive Ukraine of owning the top Republican seat in the United States Senate.

"It's a huge blow," said Zelenskyy. "No one has worked harder for the Ukrainian people than Mitch McConnell. Speaking on behalf of myself, Ukrainian soldiers, and the billionaire Ukrainian oligarchy, McConnell will be dearly missed."

After a lengthy career holding Republican party leadership, McConnell announced today that he would step down from that role in November, although he would finish out his Senate term. "The time has come....................... ...........................................................that I must acknowledge that I can no longer perform the functions of a Senator," said McConnell, over the course of about four hours. "So, I will continue being a Senator for only........................................... ............................................................................three more years." ...

I know I may ask for a lot out of our Republican leaders but I will personally not be looking past Mitch McConnell's career of handing Democrats policy victories, his recent escapade of breaking apart the Senate GOP Conference and legislating open borders to send his precious billions to Ukraine, just because he did his job on the Supreme Court eight years ago.

It's the most DC Republican thing ever when they demand endless praise for a politician because of one good thing he did nearly a decade ago even though he has by any metric spent the last three years being Joe Biden's best ally in Congress.

Not to mention his torpedoing of countless potential CONSERVATIVE senators! I will never forgive him for that.

Why won’t McConnell resign his leadership position now?

Because he wants to use his power to sabotage Trump, keep the border open, and funnel money to Ukraine for the next 8 months.

Why is McConnell planning to resign in November and not when the new Congress is sworn in?

He doesn’t want newly elected senators having any say in who his replacement is.

McConnell is corrupt to his core. He needs to resign now.
As if they didn't learn the lesson of what happened in the House.

John Thune officially announces Senate leadership bid

Thune, for his part, ranks among the so-called "Three Johns" that have served as McConnell's de facto aides-de-camp in recent years.

He threw away the majority in the Senate in 2022.  He worked hard to stop all MAGA candidates.  And, he still boasts about killing the TEA Party. along with other conservative candidates.

Eff Him.

Maybe he has boodled away enough cumshaw and baksheesh to keep him in a nice assisted care facility for the rest of his life. I hope they spit in his peas.
