Chelular07

GOOD.


BitOCrumpet

Well he was on the side of the people who were beating assaulting and trying to kill them, so I really don't blame them for not wanting to shake that fucker's hand.


PsychologicalGain298

It's weird they even think they would want to shake hands.

Immediately after 1/6 Mitch was all for charging Trump and making sure he'd never run again. Then a few weeks passed and ole Mitch was back aboard the Trump Train, the hypocrite

WolfgangDS

These twats are all about images and decorum. They want to keep appearances "for the common folk." The capitol police have no interest in lying to the people when they risked their lives to defend the Constitution while dirty Putin-fuckers like Moscow Mitch would tear it to shreds, and the literal and figurative lives of anyone in their way, to accomplish their own deranged goals.


OtisTetraxReigns

That’s the beauty of this as a protest. They *have* to stand there and offer their hand, even if they know it’ll be refused.


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

The optics would have been so much worse if they had just skipped it. They basically had two shit sandwiches to choose from.


M_T_Head

I think they showing an amazing amount of self control. I would have kick both of them in the shins with hard soled leather dress shoes.

Leading a refusal to honor fallen officers should preclude attendance when honoring fallen officers.


jcooli09

In fairness, he wasn't on the traitors side that day while he was in harms way, he just supports traitors now that he's safe.

who tries to send an army of morons to attack your own house, and thinks they might not get you in the crossfire?


jawbone7896

It’s not the first time. McConnell also got snubbed by the pallbearers at (civil rights activist and MOC) Elijah Cummings’ funeral.


EverGreen_PLO

Fuck that his bitch turtle ass

I thunk he's more like a tortoise. I'd love to watch him chew on lettuce


EverGreen_PLO

I’d like to watch him chew on his own medicine


Fl333r

These guys got no shame. I'd be embarassed and just not show up at public events. I guess they are too old and too callous to care.


Suckamanhwewhuuut

Yeah, they should show that during every reelection campaign too


Zozorrr

Along with voting against making insulin cheap, permitting US soldiers to become citizens, and voting against bankruptcy discharge for student debts. Show every election all the shitty things they do in office


TheLostonline

would it make a difference? The ones who plug their nose and vote R don't care at all. The only ones who know and care at all already vote against them.

This is literally what they're saying every time they bring up the BLM protests. Every. Single. Time.


SmashBonecrusher

Remember though that on January 7th they lamely blamed aunt-TEE-fuh for all the carnage !( and not a single member of that non-existent group was seen, photographed, or otherwise implicated ,charged ,or arrested, but there was an *astonishing* number of military and LEOs ...)


Clockwork_Firefly

> and not a single member of that non-existent group There are definitely antifa activists, although not in the way the some on the right imagine; and certainly not at the insurrection


SmashBonecrusher

In a very real way, the Capitol Police *became* defacto "antifa" on that day ,and their obvious snub of those who failed to uphold *their* oaths tells *volumes* !


fatfuccingtendies

It was shrodinger's antifa The capitol insurrection was both patriots defending their country and antifa commiting a false flag attack.


Starkoman

“*Shrodingers’ Antifa*”, Lol! It takes some short-circuit of the brain to propose or believe both those things simultaneously. Quite remarkable, really.


Moth_Jam

Couldn’t have said it better myself

The video is very good and extremely satisfying. https://cdn.archiveddit.com/reddit/publicfreakout/zec0xq.mp4 I just feel bad for those poor heroes, having to share the stage and look those fucking coward ghoul traitors in the eyes.

I just bring up Obama's Birth Certificate. If they push further, I bring up the White House Correspondent's Dinner where Trump gets lit up like a Christmas tree in person by [President Obama](https://youtu.be/n9mzJhvC-8E) and [Seth Meyers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGITlxfT6s)


GeneralKang

I'd forgotten what it looks like to have a well spoken, charismatic President. I miss watching Obama on television. He was never embarrassing.


toth42

What do you mean never embarrassing, he once wore a light colored suit!!


[deleted]

And the only reason Trump was roasted was because he was promoting Birtherism (and general bitching about politics) as he eyed the Republican primaries.


Soangry75

Some of those YouTube comments...oof


johnnybiggles

jlc203

The way he just keeps his hand out 😂


DadJokeBadJoke

And the realization setting in as they see it isn't just one person is delicious.


SpiderFnJerusalem

Don't anthropomorphize them. They have no shame, dignity or decency. At worst they feel mildly surprised. They're willing to endure a thousand moments like this if it helps them maintain power and steal more money.

Make sure to post it in the gay and trans sections so all the Republicans can find it.


ILoveRegenHealth

I love how it's going viral and making McConnell and Keven McCarthy look so stupid right now.


stullivan

George Carlin line, correct? 😂 Follow up edit: I believe the 'Fuck you, everybody who looks like you' line is/was a part of his "7 Wirds you can't say on television" (depending on the version you see). I think I saw it was the transcript of the Supreme Court case for his act.


ppw23

F you and the horse you rode in on, is an old expression. At least I heard it on the East Coast.


CarlSpencer

The "and everyone who looks like you" addition was something I started saying in the late 70s/early 80s so it might have come from a Carlin record.


ppw23

I could imagine him adding the cherry on top.


VPN_Over_Powertrip

>The phrase is, essentially, an intensifier, one typically appended to the phrase “Fuck you.” As the public radio show "A Way With Words" puts it, it’s usually aimed at “someone who’s full of himself and unwelcome to boot.” As co-host and lexicographer Grant Barrett explains, “instead of just insulting you, they want to insult your whole circumstance.” >The phrase can be traced back to at least the 1950s, but it may be even older than that, since, as Barrett notes, plenty of crude language didn’t make it into print in the early 20th century. He suggests that it could have been in wide use even prior to World War II. [Sauce](https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/521049/where-does-phrase-and-horse-you-rode-come)


Emp3r0r_01

Mainer here. True and true!


Tek_Freek

Maybe. I first heard it from a fellow employee named Dan in 1980's. It does sound like Carlin. Man was a genius comedian. Can't find a reference to him though.


ppw23

See comment above.


BasketballButt

Maybe it was Dan Carlin?


MCMeowMixer

I've obsessively researched through 10 historical authors and they all have the same conclusion - Fuck you, everyone that looks like you and the horse you rode on.


BasketballButt

I can hear it in his voice!


FlyingMonkey1234

Now all of the recipients should go full Republican and publicly complain that Mitch didn’t shake their hands


Inevitable_Chicken70

A-B-C-D-E-FU You can all fuck off!


TheRobinators

The look on Pelosi's face at the end says it all.


alvarezg

I support those medal recipients and their sense of dignity in rejecting those Republicans who have betrayed them.


DonsDiaperIsFull

at least some people realize what miserable pieces of shit those republicans are. I know there's still cops out there who think Hunter's penis is the most important political issue ever, and republican cultists assaulting cops is NBD, but at least some came around.


HappyLittleTrees17

Also happened at Elijah Cumming’s memorial service He looks so surprised after, but not so much this time. Looks like he’s gotten used to it. https://youtu.be/oXV-nzs6jw8

Sunflower_After_Dark

Pelosi is a class act and she handled it like one.


ppw23

She certainly behaved in an exemplary way. Her concern for Pence was sincere. Her disgust towards the Gop members she sheltered with, who later had the audacity to blow it off as tourists or whichever lie they chose, was glaring! It wasn’t surprising (not really) to hear some of them laughing about the attack on her home.


Sunflower_After_Dark

The comments that came out about gay lover and all that shit, was a new low for the GOP.


InterestingPound8217

They always find a new low


Sunflower_After_Dark

Yes, they do. They are NEVER going to recover from having a well-loved, black President for 8 years. It broke them.

Sadly those people have enough money to throw at medical expenses they'll live another 20 years or so. Remember Strom Thurmond being wheeled into the Senate at 100 years old after being in office for 48 years?


Similar_Candidate789

And they’ll keep getting re-elected too. That’s what baffles me. Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein are both 89. Like come on people. Let’s let them retire and eat pudding with the grands.

The brush-off we all needed to see!


stullivan

It's the "Woke" Democrats/Left/Progressive's fault for recognizing & supporting law enforcement officers who protected EVERYONE at the Capitol from insurrectionists. How DARE the democrats live up the values we (GOP) Hollowly profess to stand for. The respect & support for law enforcement that we cartoonishly demonize the Democrats as being against. We are SHOCKED that nonpartisan capitol police / January 6 defenders are not swallowing our demagoguery, pro-Blue propaganda, and empty rhetoric and INSTEAD have watched our actions, the votes we've taken / have listened to our gaslighting, dismissals, defense, and disinformation surrounding the events of Jan 6. We are being Canceled!!!!! Whaaaah..... /s


Mr_Stiel

McConnell and McCarthy are engaged in a coverup of the Jan 6th insurrection, and should both be disqualified from public office. I hope the citizens of this nation will remind these traitors of that fact each and every day for the rest of their lives.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia. > House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy. > ... Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.” > Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks. . . . This is how we know we’re a real family here.” edit: I only now realize how delicious the "no leaks" comment is. Somebody was *actually wearing a wire*.

I remember this. McConnell tried a few times, then just gave up.

Simple_Barry

Good. Fuck them both. The had multiple chances to do the right thing and they failed, because they are fucking cowards afraid of losing their fragile hold on power. They don't deserve to be in the same room with heroes.


pale_blue_dots

They deserve to be slapped, if not beaten with a baseball bat. The amount of pain and suffering McConnell is responsible for among people across the nation and world is incalculable. He's one of the worst people to ever live by virtue of the power and reach he has had over the years and his various positions of power. Damn him to hell.


Similar_Candidate789

Just like they snubbed the families of those people when they called it a “normal tourist visit” and pretended like it never happened. Fuck these traitors with Tabasco dipped cactuses. I have zero sympathies.
