Moscow Mitch is being used a lot let's keep on doing it. McConnell needs to be voted out, again has he done anything for Kentuckians, I'm not Kentuckian but what I have read here he's not concerned about his constituents.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday slammed "Moscow Mitch" — a derisive nickname for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — for blocking bills aimed at preventing gun violence and foreign election interference.

"We all want to invest in building our democracy and saving it from any enemies foreign and domestic, so we've sent our legislation to the Senate," Pelosi said at an Illinois Democrats’ “Democrat Day” event in Springfield. "'Moscow Mitch' says that he is the 'Grim Reaper" ... that he's going to bury all this legislation. Well, we have news for him. All this legislation is alive and well in the general public."

McConnell thinks so too. That's why he was livid that he would own that going into the election. But hey, if it fits that's on him.

It might very well help whoever runs against Mitch as some of his supporters might not enjoy being made fun of being Putin's bi*** themselves.

...of him through elections. Because his machines do the vote count.

The usual routes for ousting are not likely to work. Not sure how to respond to Mitch's level of corruption and power.

If Democrats could only take over the Senate---but again, his corporate election machines, which are not allowed to be scrutinized, because of proprietary software, control much of the count.

How address this election/vote coup?
