Awesome, too bad it isn't sooner than November though.
McConnell is a big part of the problem.

He is corrupt as fuck and looks like a turdle.

Why is it that most people retire at or before age 65, but elected officials seem to want to hang on forever? I know, it's got to be the weather in DC.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Really going to miss him.

 

[SomeSoldier]

So.. Is the grass greener??

 

[VietnamEraVet]

Way overdue.

Dont they keep their full salary when they retire? That would mean the only reason for staying on is because they are dedicated public servants, wow, I almost choked saying that. But it must really be that the graft money is just too good to leave behind.

All I can ask is "what is coming down the pike that will reveal behavior he would rather not get arrested for?"
Seems like these people only leave right before they get caught with their hand (or other body parts) in the cookie jar.

 

[SomeSoldier]

They should not replace him and shut the government down. It will never get better.

Maybe he was the rump ranger in that video banging that pillow biter in the Capital?

Sure as fuck isn't the government pension keeping them there...back in '47 Congress decided it was too much power to be amassed by more than two terms of the Presidency...same should be for Congress.

 

[Podmonkey]

I was hoping he was gonna stroke out but whatever, I'll take it.

 

[Acer-m14]

Come on Mitch .. Take Schumer with you ... your bed buddie

 

[Willyone]

So.. Is the grass greener??

Seems he has health issues. He might be fertilizing the grass some time soon.

In a rare moment of clarity he likely foresaw that his days in political power were numbered- If Trump wins reelection in 2024 the establishment RINOS will be on his shit list big time. If Trump loses, especially if due to shenanigans on the part of the TDS suffering faction of the GOP, that party will lose so much support he'd have lost much of his power base.
Turtle Man stepping down is a strategic withdrawal, him cutting his losses ahead of time.

 

[VietnamEraVet]

He needs to be gone NOW! While he is still there as Minority Leader he will only continue to sell us out. He IS the deep state.

He should be buried in Ukraine.

But only up to his neck, so he can keep an eye on his investments.

Strategery - Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Says He's Stepping Down in November - The Last Refuge

The transparency of this timing is almost too clear. A couple of days ago, the Koch network said they were going to drop back to a defensive position and look to retain their influence in the House and Senate. The next day John Thune announced he was endorsing President Trump. Deceptive...

I just realized I misconstrued what's going on with the stepping-down thing... Doh!

McConnell is only stepping down as the Republican Senate Minority Leader. He's not stepping down as a Senator, the turdle plans on finishing his Senate term in 2027.


"McConnell said he plans to serve out his Senate term, which ends in January 2027, “albeit from a different seat in the chamber.”

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

The message wasn't clear enough. Wonder who was going to be next...

No, there is a retirement plan like any gov employee, a percentage based on years of work. Its some convoluted formula. There is no full check or free health care when they leave, its a common misconception.

 

[Defilade]

The Old Guard is taking some hits!

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

He should enjoy some time with his old pal Harry Reid.

Step down? Hope he trips a la Brandon. Break a leg, they say.
