Mitch Mcconnell is a Snake

Mitch McConnell is either trying to save face or save his ass. Rumor-mill had it that McConnell secretly despised Donald Trump and what Trump did to the Republican Party, but Mitch also recognized a useful tool. He bid his time, acquiesced to Trump's popularity among Republicans and now - when it's nearly over - he steps into the light and speaks truth to Trump and his hoard of supporters. 

     "They were fed lies."

But this isn't just McConnell trying to save face, it's him trying to reign in the rest of the GOP that supported Donald Trump's insanity. It's him trying to recover what remains of the Right and save the Senate and House seats he can. 

Mitch McConnell spent the past four years pandering to Donald Trump's inane inadequacies. He covered nfoe the President (less than 24 hours left until he's an ex-president) and shielded Trump from removal from office. He aided and abetted Trump's takeover of the GOP and the alt-Right terrorists that unltimately stormed the capital with the intent to overturn the Constitutional process of our Republic. McConnell was silent as Trump whipped his cult into a frenzy and sent them against another branch of government. 

That's right, this wasn't just about Trump's refusal to concede or his ego, it was about putting one branch of government, the Executive, against another, the Legislative. It was about disrupting our democracy and installing an autocratic ruler. 

It was sedition. It was insurrection. It was a failure.

And yet McConnell was silent. 

The former Senate leader deserves no praise or solace. His greed and party-over-country agenda he enabled since the Obama administration shouldn't be forgotten or excused. McConnell is an opportunist with no moral or ethical code. He is an example of the worst of us and is the poster child for why the Right believes all politicians are dishonest and corrupt.

McConnell needs to go quietly into the night and be forgotten.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
