Benedict Arnold (1741-1801) was an early American hero of the Revolutionary War (1775-83) who later became one of the most infamous traitors in U.S. history after he switched sides and fought for the British. History, that remarkable factual invention of time, placed into the spoken word, and eventually the printed word, by the human brain, clarified and certified by the many who lived during the actual events, had at one time provided the future creatures of this plane with a plan and a purpose to try to never repeat it, especially when the results of history had proven anything but positive.
Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, 2007-2015, Senate Majority Leader 2015-present. From early 2016, McConnell refused to schedule Senate hearings for Obama's nominee to theSupreme Court, Merrick Garland, to replace Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016. Garland's nomination remained before the Senate for 294 days, from March 16, 2016, until it expired on January 3, 2017, more than double the time of any other Supreme Court Nomination.[11] Later, McConnell used the so-called “nuclear option" to lower the threshold for overriding filibusters for Supreme Court nominees to a simple majority, with the aim of confirming Neil Gorsuch to the Court.
The enemy of the state often times is not the President, nor is he or she the General of a branch of the Military, but more of a self serving, self satisfying, paid to play “turncoat”, for whom the price of large checks sent to some bank in Seychelles will be just enough motivation to let the common man eat cake, while he and his family dine on the destruction of democracy! An empty stooge, void of empathy, sympathy, narcissistic, nasty on purpose, cunning and counting his gold coins is terrible enough, but this creature lacks the depth to true terror compared to calculating sinister soulless traitor to any cause that does not satisfy his own needs and his needs alone.
I amaze and it might be laughable to hear the Senate Minority Speaker Chuck Schumer criticize, McConnell and the Republicans for acting as the hypocrites they are as if embarrassing a brood of Fascists into doing the right thing might matter. Putin and his Oligarchs outsmarted Americas, they understood, much better than the Democrat Party, how to encourage, loathing, fear, ignorance, and the even more so how to burn any idea of history from the minds of those who seek scapegoats and victims for their own identity. If we ever get past this era of Trump/McConnell/Putin and history books are permitted to be printed, I only wish that every generation related to Mitch McConnell suffer, the anger, and torment, that Comrade McConnell has provided for this nation.
