As others have said Mitch is full of shit where his actions and sounds bites don't match.

On top of encouraging Trump to dispute the election when Obama was trying to elect a new Supreme Court Judge he denied him literally saying even if it was an outgoing Republican president he wouldn't allow a quick selection till the new president is elected because that's the right thing to do, come RBG's death he rushed Trump's selection quicker than normal even against her dying wish.

This. He may feel a bit guilty about the monster he helped create but it’s a bit late for that now.

I think for the sake of democracy going forward and to ensure they don't end up in a civil war during a pandemic the Republican party need to impeach and say he is talking utter shit. Joe Biden won the election by the same margin as Trump won his election (in electoral college terms) and by significantly more than Trump in terms of popular vote. They need to stop this insanity before it causes many thousands more deaths.

He really cleaned up New York in the 90s. Transformed it (Manhattan in particular) from a dangerous decaying hell hole to basically crime free. And his response to 9/11 was heroic in fairness. He was radicalised by Trump.

Fair enough, not familiar enough with the development of NY to comment on that bit.

what you mean is that Manhattan changed. Whether it was Rudi's policies can be reasonably disputed.

The timing coincided with the reduction of lead (from petrol) in the air - which has seen big falls in inner city crimespots located on traffic-busy areas.

It might be coincidental of course - it can't be absolutely proven - but there's a strong correlation with lead reduction all around the world (and with the lead reduction happening at different times all round the world).

He cleaned out the New York mafia to make way for the Russian mafia. His 9/11 response was entirely self serving. He’s been a POS long before his Trump association.

Yup. 

Also just seen the CNN headline “Congress affirms Biden win after deadly insurrection” which sounds like a bombastic headline but no, it’s actually accurate. 

And I wish BBC news would man up and stop calling them protestors.

That leaves the next natural step being civil war. Once Trump's twitter ban is lifted he will change his profile pic to a confederate army flag with the words "The South Will Rise Again".

which only underlines (again!) how brain dead his base is. 

Really, his base is too tiny to care about very much. It's much like Farage in the UK, who was able to win his coveted brexit but who was never able to get more than about 15% of the vote.

Trump has guaranteed he'll be marginalised by the mainstream going forwards, and his base will fade away onto the next idiot thing.

PS: if he was younger I'd be more worried.

He will rewrite the events to say New York was part of the Confederacy.

I usually start at the bottom of page 1 and work up .... its easier to keep track that way .... hopefully the person that posted it on here is the creator .... full kudos if they are 🙂

I don't think McConnel is really capable of feeling. Or recognising his own guilt. Trump has served his purpose so time to get rid
