WHEN RESISTANCE FALTERS

📌About an hour before Trump's GOP stormtroopers assaulted our Democracy Wednesday, one Mitch McConnell -- THAT Mitch McConnell -- was on the Senate floor doing what he does best: talking in code out of both sides of his dirty, ROTTEN mouth ...

<more>

📌Seems Mitch was finally ready to put a band aid on America's gaping wound -- the one he literally had everything to do with.

📌Mitch was going to push for certifying the vote of the American people. After months of inaction, Mitch the Great was saving the day.

<more>

📌But even Mitch knows, and has suppressed, that he could have removed Trump from the White House last year.

📌Even Mitch knows, but has suppressed, that he could have spared us from the absolute carnage of the past year that led to yesterday's attack on our democracy.

<more>

📌But never mind that brutal reality. On Wednesday, a defiant Mitch was willing to go as far certifying votes that were cast by REAL American patriots, who literally risked their lives to VOTE TRUMP OUT.

📌Wow! What a guy, eh???

<more>

📌There was NOTHING fucking heroic about what McConnell was doing. He was simply doing the bare minimum of what is expected of any American.

📌And that's when the real crime started ...

<more>

📌Within minutes, TV pundits started gushing over Mitch's "bravery" for standing up to Trump. He was "meeting the moment" they breathlessly stated.

📌On Twitter, well, that's when the hypocrisy really cranked into a special, broken gear.

<more>

📌"Resisters" with mighty accounts started falling all over themselves to praise the Mighty Mitch.

📌This is the very guy they spent years rightfully attacking as #MoscowMitch.

📌This is the guy they spent years rightfully trying to drive out of the Senate.

<more>

📌This is the guy they rightfully told us had done more damage to Americans than any human alive.

📌This is the guy who'd rather STARVE YOU than give you ANY relief. THAT Mitch.

<more>

📌But now he was "bringing it" and "meeting the moment."

<more>

📌You know who you are.

📌I see many of you have taken some of those tweets down, but the damage is done.

📌What happens next time a Republican talks out of both sides of his/her mouth and "gives" you something that was already rightfully yours????

<more>

📌Not long after the gush, it started getting reported that our Capitol Building was under siege from Trump and McConnell's goons.

📌And here's where it really gets dangerously special:

<more>

📌We know now that lawmakers dove to the floors and hid in closets and screamed in fear as armed maniacs stormed the halls -- you know, the same kind of awful shit that OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR YEARS AT SCHOOL.

<more>

📌And we know why children have been dealing with this for years at school -- Republicans' NRA.

📌And do you know who champions the NRA like a boss?

📌That's right: Mitch McConnell.

<more>

📌But now Mighty Mitch was allegedly done fawning over Trump, and people that have to know better were fawning over him on Twitter and on the airways ...

<more>

📌By day's end, our democracy was bleeding, but #MoscowMitch had been sent back to the minority in the Senate by the voters of Georgia.

📌I saw you tweeting about that, too.

📌If you've returned to your senses, welcome back.

📌If yer thinking of leaving again, please stay there.
