    I begrudgingly respect Mitch McConnell for being the only dissenter, both here and with Tulsi Gabbard.

    He’s still a piece of shit and I’d happily piss on his grave but he’s doing better than the rest of them in the face of the coup.

      Good chance he wouldn’t have dissented if Trump’s picks weren’t going to pass without his vote.

      Nah, he’s just at the end of his career and is no longer concerned with reelection while also 100% confident in the vote passing without his vote. He has the seniority to be allowed to have a “conscience vote” that the other members can’t have.
