[h1][b]Watchdog Asks DOJ to Consider Criminal Investigation into Elaine Chao for Misuse of Office[/b][/h1]  
The Transportation Departments inspector general asked the Justice Department in December to consider a criminal investigation into what it said was Elaine Chaos misuse of her office as transportation secretary in the Trump administration to help promote her familys shipping business, which is run by her sister and has extensive business ties with China, the [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/03/us/politics/elaine-chao-inspector-general-report.html]New York Times[/link] reports.
 
The inspector general said the Justice Departments criminal and public integrity divisions both declined to take up the matter in the closing weeks of the Trump administration, even after the inspector general found repeated examples of Ms. Chao using her staff and her office to help benefit her family and their business operations and revealed that staff members at the agency had raised ethics concerns.

[b]Trump Slashes at Dumb Son of a B*tch McConnell[/b][/h1]  
 
Former president Donald Trump called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a dumb son of a bitch as he used a Saturday night speech to Republicans to blame him for not helping overturn the 2020 election and reiterated false assertions that he won the November contest, the [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-mcconnell-election/2021/04/11/297a82da-9879-11eb-962b-78c1d8228819_story.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_politics]Washington Post[/link] reports.
 
Said Trump: If that were Schumer instead of this dumb son of a bitch Mitch McConnell they would never allow it to happen. They would have fought it.
He later called McConnell a stone cold loser.
 
[link=https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/11/trump-mcconnell-dumb-son-of-a-bitch-rnc-480748]Politico[/link]: Trump veered off his prepared during a roughly 50-minute speech before several hundred well-heeled GOP donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida, saying that he was disappointed in former Vice President Mike Pence, calling last years presidential election election a fraud and mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci.

[link=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/what-s-it-mcconnell-why-grim-reaper-backing-biden-priority-n1275421]NBC News[/link]: McConnells incentives are more complicated than the Dr. No image he has cultivated over a decade and a half as the Senate Republican leader, according to senators and aides familiar with his thinking, as well as Democratic antagonists. By acquiescing to a deal, he can reward Republican allies, head off Democratic efforts to end the filibuster and even score some popular goodies for his state.

[link=https://politicalwire.com/2021/07/29/biden-gains-the-upper-hand-on-mitch-mcconnell/]Biden Gains the Upper Hand on Mitch McConnell

[/link]McConnell has given tepid support to the bipartisan bill but only because he thinks it might anger progressives, divide Democrats and ultimately derail the bigger reconciliation package. Theres no way McConnell wants to give Biden a bipartisan win, but hell settle for that if he can split Democrats over the broader bill.

But the Senate vote indicates Biden has the upper hand on McConnell. Settling for a $1.2 trillion bill because you hope it will derail a $3.5 trillion bill is not a position of strength.

…

[link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-looks-for-challenger-to-depose-mitch-mcconnell-as-split-widens-11632060002]Wall Street Journal[/link]: Mr. Trump has spoken recently with senators and allies about trying to depose Mr. McConnell and whether any Republicans are interested in mounting a challenge, according to people familiar with the conversations.
There is little appetite among Senate Republicans for such a plan, lawmakers and aides said, but the discussions risk driving a wedge deeper between the most influential figure in the Republican Party and its highest-ranking member in elected office.

Trump Blames McConnell for Infrastructure Bill[/h1]  
Donald Trump [link=https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1461018874632187909]issued a statement[/link] attacking Broken Old Crow Mitch McConnell and his RINO friends for helping pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
 
Said Trump: This is the Broken Old Crows fault. He could have won it all using the Debt Ceiling-they were ready to fold. Now the Democrats have a big victory and the wind at their back. McConnell is a fool and he damn well better stop their Dream of Communism Bill and keep his Senators in line, or he should resign now, something he should have done a long time ago.

 

[btomba_77]

Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters. He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history.

Rep.

Said Brooks, [link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zo48c3g6-Y&feature=youtu.be]in a new ad[/link]: America cant afford a Senate leader who is a weak-kneed, debt junkie, open-border RINO Republican and who, worse yet, sells out America for special interest group cash.
 
Brooks joins two other Republican candidates Eric Greitens of Missouri and Kelly Tshibaka of Alaska in pushing for McConnells removal. All three are running staunchly anti-establishment campaigns and are aligning themselves with former President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly laced into McConnell over the past year.

[h1][b]Mitch McConnell Delivers[/b][/h1]  
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/27/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court.html]New York Times[/link]: Mr. McConnell is indisputably a chief architect if not the chief architect of the conservative court that has shaken the nation over the past week with a string of rulings on abortion, guns and religion a trifecta of searing cultural issues.
 
While much of the public recoiled at the decisions and the prospect of more to come in the years ahead, Mr. McConnell, a deep admirer of Justice Antonin Scalia, saw the culmination of a personal push to reshape the court in the image of the conservative judicial icon.
 
That history-making feat came at a price: the embrace of Donald J. Trump. Mr. McConnell and his fellow Republicans might have had their misgivings about Mr. Trump, but they were more than willing to set aside any reservations and Senate comity in zealous pursuit of a reliably conservative court. Mr. Trump, however problematic, was a means to their end.

Said Scott: I understand that I wont gain the support of every member of our Conference, but we all have a clear choice to make. If you simply want to stick with the status quo, dont vote for me.
 
 
 
(Interestingly bold in that Scott just oversaw an election cycle in which Republicans blew a good chance to win the Senate.)

McConnell elected minority leader.

37-10 over Rick Scott.

It’s a rare point at which the GOP has both good policy and good politcs.
 
 
Good policy: Mitch McConnell is too infirm to serve.
 
Good politics: Calling for Mitch to step down makes Republicans look like the party of good governance while it simultaneously also focuses the narrative on to Biden’s age.
