MOSCOW MITCH.... AT IT AGAIN.... ABANDON STATES AND LOCALS... AND ENRICH THE WEALTHY...


Cartoon by Kevin KAL Kallaugher for Counterpoint
Some cheer those who serve... others, ignore their sacrifice...
The McConnell "dance"..... 

This is an absolute outrage!  No COVID-19 action or help... just polluting the judicial branch with Trump right-wing allies....  to cover their ass and advance their use of the courts to implement their agenda, regardless of tripping over law or the constitution......  More a Banana Republic with a "loaded" bench of partisan judges!  This never happened in the past because of the Senate nomination rules that required either "Blue Page/Sheet treatment" (home-state Senators signing off on any nomination), and a minority sign-off to proceed to the floor.  


Rules were changed a few years ago on sign-off... and, last year, McConnell erased the "Blue Page/Sheet" home Senator agreement in the century-long process in considering a Presidential nomination.  With his wife as Secretary of Labor for King Trump....  Moscow Mitch opened the doors to the Trump Monarch "anointment" process.  Anoint the nominee with Trump Oil... and, with starry-eyed Mitch at the Mitch switch, "thy will be done."  An American disgrace.....  


 Welcome to the Right Wing Wild West... and flushing the even-handed, bi-partisan and/or non-partisan appointments of qualified and experienced (as reviewed by the American Bar Association) legal experts - attorneys, state judges, and lower-federal court judges promoted up the judicial ladder.  Now... friends/family of Trump and McConnell-supported candidates for the bench - screened, advocated, selected, recommended, and endorsed by the Blood-Red Right-Wing Conservative Federalist Association..... will be placed before the Republican-controlled Senate Committee for a support vote...  and then, to the Senate floor with a narrow Republican majority - until November, 2020.  Perhaps some Trump Evangelicals are on the Supreme Court horizon..... just before the women's rights cases appear and are argued at that level.....  

Want another banana????? Or... some Shad and ROE?????...  

Mc Connell announced last week that the states should not seek federal support in this viral emergency.  Instead, he recommended that they declare BANKRUPTCY!  Phew!  So... lets get this straight... the Republican Senate Majority Leader, Moscow Mitch, is refusing to consider financial support for state and local governments - PARTICULARLY BLUE STATES!  So, does that mean that Mitch wants millions - BILLIONS in loans and grants to large and small businesses?  Like Major League Sports?  Massive publicly-held (stock market) companies but not the neighborhood grocery stores? And, forget that village, town, city, and state-funded police, fire, healthcare doctors and nurses, hospital workers, ambulance operators, and teachers in school districts are facing massive lay-offs and furloughs..... adding to the unemployment applications and the pantry lines....  Mitch wants BLUE STATES to lay-off thousands, declare bankruptcy and CUT HEALTHCARE AND PENSIONS?????? 


What kind of caring American is this Right-wing Zombie??? Just remember his plots and schemes over the last three years... Scheming in the Capitol basement...  to erode our democracy, enrich the wealthy upper class, crush working families and deny them the progress made since FDR, eliminate pensions, healthcare, Social Security, along with Medicare, and Medicaid too....  Every 
Mc Connell/Trump budget has called for massive cuts to these essential and historic social support programs - PAID FOR BY THOSE WHO QUALIFY. The result?  Reducing those of modest income - and the middle class as well... to become completely dependent on large corporations and/or the wealthy upper 1%....  will reduce them to peasants ....  serving the "Lords of the Land." NONSENSE.....  AUTOCRACY....  DICTATORSHIP....  SUPPRESSION....  The Moscow Model....  by Moscow Mitch! 

Don't you think that this is the time to...... 

STAND UP!  SPEAK OUT! RESIST! PERSIST! AND MARCH ON!   

To November, 2020......  Tick-tock.....
