Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the former Senate Republican leader who is in large part responsible for helping destroy American democracy, will announce on Thursday that he is not running for reelection, the Associated Press reported.

      Kentucky is beautiful and full of whiskey and bourbon. Unfortunately, its also full of racists and bigots. It’s too bad that such a nice place is just ruined like that.

      I’m in Iowa, and “Iowa nice” was kind of our phrase for a while, but that’s just false. If you’re a minority in Iowa, you will be targeted. This state has gone from one of the most progressive to one of the worst over the past 10+ years, and it’s because of Gov Reynolds and her ilk. Miller-Meeks jumped on the band wagon to sue the Des Moines Register for the election pollin, Ernst’s tongue is as black as Trumps boots, and the rep in NW Iowa is as bad as they come. I saw someone that announced running for Gov who doesn’t think Reynolds is supporting Trump’s agenda enough and wants to go further. If anyone’s thinking about it, do not consider moving to Iowa, it’s a shit hole that has cancer causing chemicals running through our ground water and legislation to protect the chemical makers from being sued.

      Sorry for the tangent, but I really needed to dunk on Iowa. Fuck this place.

    It’s not just him. The vast majority of Americans took a dump all over democracy by electing Trump a second time. They’re just as guilty as they are.

    Down with the gerontocracy!

    Too little, MUCH MUCH too late. He actually had the opportunity to make a difference and chose not to.
