Mitch McConnell sent senators home Wednesday for Thanksgiving break one day early, in part because of the continued unchecked spread of Covid-19 among his members. They are due to return on November 30!
The Republican Senate leader told members in a closed-door lunch Tuesday to “be careful” and make sure they take the necessary precautions against catching the virus, Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., said. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., a member of the party's leadership, said McConnell wants everyone to go home, take a break, stay healthy, and then the caucus leadership will determine when they’ll have enough healthy and present senators to be at “fighting strength” again. And some rank-and-file Democratic senators and a bipartisan group of aides are growing more frustrated, concerned and confused with the lack of safety protocols on Capitol Hill, questioning both the Senate leadership and the attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan, who has previously advised exposed senators against taking Covid-19 tests and quarantining. The Office of the Attending Physician has not replied to repeated requests for comment. (MSNBC)
In the meanwhile, leading up to McConnell’s words and actions, none of which have dealt with the spread of the Pandemic (because ignoring it means it is JUST NO BIG DEAL) to the rest of the American Public, he CANNOT continue to establish more Conservative Judges in Federal Courts, refuse to stop an attempted coup by Trump and Giuliani Anarchists (again DON’T ADMIT IT, SO IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO) and can feign concern for the economy (BUT NOT REALLY GIVE A DAMN TO HELP). Stay safe you Republican Senators, so says McConnell, because there is a need to sideline the incoming elected President, refute fair elections as being a necessity of democracy, and perhaps STILL, receive large donations from his band of DOMESTIC DONOR CLASS TERRORISTS for helping create misinformation and divide in this nation.
TRUMP is not handling the Pandemic, Pence is not dealing with the Pandemic, The Republican-controlled Senate gives no shits about the Pandemic, and here we are still hearing how unfair it is to be permitted to spread the virus, because somehow it is more UN-AMERICAN to NOT visit family and friends on Thanksgiving, then to just delight in the death and dying as each selfish AMERICAN has more opportunity to spread the virus, then to quarantine it! And no longer hard to believe, there are actually some Christian Church Leaders who insist, that come Hell or High Water, they want their Congregants to pray, spend time with family and bring a friend along for good measure!
