Moscow Mitch-- Kentucky's Russian Asset
The evil queen from Kentucky: "If I'm still Majority Leader of the Senate after next year, *none* of those things"-- and he's talking about Medicare-for-All, free public college, the Green New Deal, a minimum wage increase, LGBTQ workplace equality, background checks on gun sales...-- "are going to pass the Senate. They won't even be voted on. So think of me as the Grim Reaper." OK, but we already think of him as McTurtle, as a bribe taking crook, as the cock sucker from the Louisville's Pickle Park, as Cocaine Mitch and, most recently, as #MoscowMitch.

Schoolboys Have Taken Over the Modern Civilization
Modern civilization is the work of great masters of philosophy, politics, art, and science; of the great warriors and statesmen; of visionary discoverers and businessmen; of millions of people who do their work honestly and diligently.
