(33,643 posts)for our LEGISLATIVE (i.e. 'law-making') Branch of Government to, you know ... MAKE LAWS. It just takes more votes. DUH.
Either that or he doesn't care what a lying idiot he sounds like, more important to kiss NRA and gun-humper ass.

(5,914 posts)It is the executive branch's express duty to execute the laws written by the House and Senate. Although the president may certainly drive or inspire policy that legislators may use to write legislation, the president doesn't tell them what to do. Indeed, it works in the opposite direction.

(12,165 posts)What an utter loser and example of spinelessness. The only thing hes good for is inking up a rubber stamp.
Blood is on his hands. Blood is on the hands of all gun absolutists, but McConnell is especially immoral. He has the power to do something but does nothing while people are slaughtered en masse.

(23,955 posts)now that it's painfully obvious that Agent Orange can barely control his larynx on the way to the golf tee, let alone take a responsible leadership position on a policy issue, Moscow Mitch's "waiting on Trump" looks and smells like the bullshit it is.

(761 posts)of government are to prevent one branch from assuming control. If McConnell publicly testifies to waiting for orders from the President he should be expelled from the Senate.

(1,156 posts)This morally bankrupt cretin continues to demonstrate complete dishonesty and hypocrisy while shielding his treachery and complicity with Putin, the NRA and Trump. He needs to be held accountable for the continuing string of mass murders in this country.
