So… I’m not always McConnell’s biggest fan.
One thing I AM a fan of? His GLORIOUS sense of humor.
I know it sounds like I’m kidding. I’m not. The guy is KING of trolling.
Remember this?
HANDS DOWN the funniest thing McConnell has ever done. 🤣 https://t.co/rAY10gHUW3

Don Blankenship called McConnell “Cocaine Mitch” during the primaries (Which doesn’t make any sense. Mitch is pretty sedate. Qualude Mitch would have been much better.)
Mitch replied with the TROLLIEST OF TROLLS when he handily won the primary:
Thanks for playing, @DonBlankenship. #WVSen pic.twitter.com/TV1ETgQdmu

BAHAHAHHA.
Anyway, Cocaine Mitch is at it again.
On Thursday, the day after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his impending retirement, paving the way for another genuine conservative to join the Court, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who made sure the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat got filled by a conservative, seemingly had a little fun of his own, trolling former President Obama by wearing a suit exactly like his. Obama had caused mild controversy when he appeared in the briefing room in 2014 wearing a tan suit.
McConnell had famously warned then-Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid back in 2013 not to destroy the filibuster and make a simple majority in the Senate enough to confirm a judicial nominee:
Revenge, sweet glorious revenge.
Mitch Mcconnell in 2013 when Harry Reid changed the Senate rules: “You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.” #JusticeKennedy pic.twitter.com/WyOviDvvVM

OOOOOOH.
THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS.
Fast forward to today:
MCCONNELL (in shirtsleeves): Bring me the tan suit, Covington.
COVINGTON (an aide): But sir, the libs are already on suicide watch, I don’t know if—
MCCONNELL: The tan. Suit. https://t.co/ywHznn7G85

I’d say “who wore it better?”, but McConnell wore it better and there’s no debate. https://t.co/BzwEAfvcmn

Shorter Mitch McConnell, this whole week: “I tried to warn you guys in 2014 that you weren’t going to like how this ended. But you didn’t want to listen to Cocaine Mitch, so this is how it goes.” https://t.co/0ZTno95imx

After seeing how much of a no-sh*ts-given BOSS she is… I wouldn’t be surprised.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
