The script is sickeningly familiar by now, isn’t it? Establishment Republicans — led throughout the ’22 elections and in their aftermath by the notorious Kentucky senator-for-life Mitch McConnell — betrayed their party’s base, which is staunchly conservative, increasingly in an America First sorta way.
Yes, lest one is confused because of all the serial betrayals, we’re referring to the gross obscenity called the “$1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.” For true-blue conservatives, the brazen middle-finger thrust rudely into their faces by McConnell and seventeen other Senate go-alongs should be an act of war. Political war, that is.
The first major offensive in this war needs to be led by Senate conservatives. The mission is audacious, as well it should be given the stakes: bringing down D.C.-lovin’ Mitch McConnell as Republican Senate leader. Ace out dull John Thune as heir-apparent. Install Rick Scott as the new leader. The grassroots needs to undergird the fight and sustain it.
Why war? Because the character of this betrayal is precedent-setting. It sticks out defiantly like owlish Mitch’s raised middle finger. You see, as stupid as Republicans are — and, by God, they can be an awfully dumb bunch — McConnell and his troop of monolith-agitated apes have realized in their dull-wittedness that they really aren’t beholden to their voters, other than tossing them bleach-whitened toothy grins and occasional bones.
In this budget vote there’s an underlying decision of momentous importance. It’s downright troubling. MORE
h/t NAAC.
Is there any chance those Senate conservatives are considering the Julius Caesar remedy? I suppose not, alas.
“What are Senate Conservatives Going to Do about McConnell?”
Nothing.
Same as it ever was.
Turtle soup for the hogs.
I’m confident that a cost-benefit analysis will result in an answer of ‘nothing’.
Too many senate conservatives have got their nests feathered totally to their liking. Why would they want to tear them asunder?
@Just A Fact…..
you beat me to it.
This is why the GOP cant be trusted – it’s as institutionally as corrupt as the FBI.
KY needs to recall the treasonous turtle
As surely as Pence will be the 2024 nominee (Hey he did the time to earn the right as VP and besides the Demmies owe him) nothing will stop the ChiCom’s continued lining of McConnell’s pockets.
I know, let’s charge him, convict him and hang him!
Treason works for me.
Just stock up on KY jelly to ease the inevitable pain in the ass.
Is calling yourself a “Republican” at this late date merely an admission of political impotence?
Why would anyone do that?
I’m soooo done with the Republican Party.
Senate conservatives? All 6 or 7 of them? Wow, a force to be reckoned with huh?
Vance could be a real winner, same with Schmitt-although Eric Greitens was my pick. Hawley and Paul are about the best. Budd could be another winner. Grassly?…yeah. Kennedy is good too.
That’s our representation. Good luck boys. You have 100% of the dems hating your guts and McConnell’s bunch out to knife you
We don’t have a government, we have a criminal cartel laughing at the idea of getting “voted” out of power that thinks it can indefinitely conjure up trillions in fairy dust money to maintain it’s illusionary belief that it has a monopoly on violence.

Shouldn’t he have Monkey Pox by now?
I know what I’d like for them to do about (to) him.
McCarthy & McConnell, we are looking forward to working with you both the the next session of Congress. Happy holidays & may God be with you.
The new Republicans coming into the House will have the opportunity to rewrite budgets.
They can stop a lot of what’s going on now.
If they can find their spines.
As long as dumb ass republicans keep voting him back into office, nothing will ever change.
A Polonium-210 tea party would be great. Make sure to invite Mitt and Schumer.
No budgets ever get passed anymore because it means looking at money available and money spent. Just print more money when China won’t loan you more you don’t have to spend on $140 Million to secure foreign countries borders and not your own. It doesn’t matter which side you vote for anymore. On a side note I like fireworks (being New year’s Eve is coming up or something)!
