Bullshit Moscow Mitch Says

 
Mueller protection bill blocked in Senate for third time

Legislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired was blocked in the Senate on Wednesday for a third time in roughly a month.

Retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) asked consent to get a vote on the long-stalled legislation, which passed out of the Judiciary Committee in April.

But Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has argued the legislation isn't needed because he doesn't believe President Trump will try to fire Mueller, objected.

I get he’s the leader and all but seems kinda shitty that one person can decide which legislation an entire legislature can vote on
 
McConnell says bill that would make Election Day a federal holiday is a ‘power grab’ by Democrats

McConnell was speaking about H.R. 1, legislation that Democrats have made a centerpiece of their agenda since retaking the House earlier this month.

In remarks on the Senate floor, McConnell (R-Ky.) said Democrats “want taxpayers on the hook for generous new benefits for federal bureaucrats and government employees,” including making Election Day a “new paid holiday for government workers.”

“So this is the Democrats’ plan to ‘restore democracy,’” McConnell said, describing the legislation as “a political power grab that’s smelling more and more like what it is.”

The far-reaching legislation would also prohibit the purging of voter rolls, require presidential and vice-presidential candidates to release their tax returns, compel states to adopt independent redistricting commissions and create a matching system for small-dollar donations to congressional campaigns, among other changes.

yeah, read about this. why don't Republican want people to express their American rights? voting is fundamentally the most American action that one can take and should be a federal holiday.

i don't understand why this is a 'power grab' outside of the Republican really trying hard to suppress voting.

Because Republicans can't do math. More voting is considered to favor Democrats, but not by as much as the propaganda news networks want you to believe. This is just Mitch McConnell saying the quiet parts out loud again.
 

This also helps the “There isn’t actually a national emergency” case for the courts, which is very unlike McConnell. He must be getting tired of having to constantly lie all the time that the truth is starting to bleed through every so often
