Here's what Mitch McConnell should do

He should say right now that if Roy Moore should win the election, the Senate will immediately expel him unless he submits to a lie detector test about the incident in question. If he refuses to take such a test, the expulsion vote proceeds. If he submits and passes the lie detector test, he can stay. If he flunks the test, he has to go.

You think "Turtle" has the ba.. (OK, I don't really know what turtles have "down there" - but I'm sure Mitch doesn't!) to do that?
I think he's STILL in an "ANYTHING TO WIN" mode and he'd accept eating a cat shit sandwich to get even just one bill passed - and ANY senator who would vote with him would be fine by him.

Turtles do have balls. Big ugly dark things. My girlfriend owns an 80 - 100 yo turtle and one day they just showed up/popped out. She thought something was wrong with the turtle - intestinal or something - and tried to push them back in/under his shell. She tried multiple times. I wasn't present, thank gawd - just told the story after she found out what she had been trying to push back in. Lol.

McTurtles don't have any, though.

I dare say a few other senators have issues around sexual abuse.

They have never worked any near as well as you see on TV cop shows. Skilled liars and people who have convinced themselves of the "truth" have no problem with them, and they are basically threatened as a "black sheep" test for those who don't know any better. The interpretation of a polygraph test is also highly subjective and not particularly reliable.

Sorry to have to tell you all this.
