I would devote a year of full time work to exercise and training if I knew I'd get one chance to punch him right in the face
The only good outcome from Trump getting elected was seeing Mitch McConnell squirm for 4 years.
Mother fucker still played the game though.
Shockingly, Mitch has been one of the few Republicans to support giving weapons and money to Ukraine.

Yea of late the House had been so crazy that Mitch supporting Ukraine and the boarder deal makes him seem moderate. Which is a horrid sign of where things are. I equally wouldn’t be shocked if he said he was stepping because of the party’s shift. Also a horrid sign since he as a massive factor in making it crazy.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. Henry Kissinger is uniquely responsible for the modern quagmire of a relationship that exists between the United States and Israel.

I agree with all of the things you said. However, Henry Kissinger was essentially the father of modern neo-conservative foreign policy, and those policies are largely what led to the manipulation of the United States government by AIPAC and the Israeli government. There are a multitude of other factors as you suggest, but don't act for one second like Henry Kissinger wasn't Jewish first and American second.
