    The "Gobbler" turkey neck was instrumental in getting a slew of judges confirmed - so lets at least give him credit for that... Otherwise I think that Sen. McConnel is a low down dirty scumbag that is plenty savvy to know which way the 'political wind' is blowing... Senators Romney & him have put themselves well up there on my list of people to actively seek redress come election time.

    (Not sure I can trust him when it comes to China either)

    Looks like the GOP might need a new leader.

    McConnell is butt hurt because he blames Trump for losing the two GA seats that he lost by blocking the $2,000 stimulus for Americans.

    McConnell signed off on pork for the world, even funding for transgender programs for Pakistan but suddenly became "very concerned" about the deficit, when it came time for COVID relief for US taxpayers.

    Meanwhile the Democrat Candidate in GA was posting big signs with $2,000 checks and telling folks to vote for him.

    It's not Trump's fault that McConnell lost the majority, it's McConnell's. If McConnell can't effectively lead then entire caucus, then he needs to make room for someone who can.

    Ridiculous. Not one person can share a statement by Trump that would damn him. Only the truly gullible are falling for this Establishment attack.

    What transgender programs for Pakistan?

    Zorro, how many times I had to educate YOU?

    It it called a Gender Equality Program, and Paskistan's Gender Programs are no different than the ones USAID has sponsored in Afghanistan, and in more than 80 countries over several decades.

    USAID website

    GENDER EQUALITY AND WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT

    Why Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment

    Investing in gender equality and women’s empowerment can unlock human potential on a transformational scale. For societies to thrive, women and girls, men and boys must have equal access to education, healthcare, and technology. They must have equal control of resources, lands, and markets. And they must have equal rights and opportunities as peace-builders and leaders.

    Transforming the ways in which we engage men and boys in gender equality and women’s empowerment efforts is essential to long-lasting social change. We must enlist their support for the empowerment of women and girls across their lifespan, and also encourage them to challenge the negative cultural and social definitions that can limit their own ability to achieve their full potential.

    It is vital to promote the rights of all individuals and reduce gender-based violence while mitigating its harmful effects on individuals and communities. Unless women and girls, men and boys, fully enjoy their human rights and are free from violence, progress toward development will fall short.

    Our Global Network

    Women's empowerment has long been a part of USAID's work. In close partnership with Washington bureaus and operating units, and international field missions in more than 80 countries, the Office of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GenDev) based in Washington, provides strategic leadership, training, and technical assistance on USAID’s gender equality and women’s empowerment programming worldwide and works to shape and institutionalize policies that empower women and girls.

    USAID has a global network of more than 186 gender advisors, point of contacts, and employees who work on gender embedded throughout the Agency with the shared goal of learning across borders to accelerate USAID’s gender work worldwide.

    In addition to the above, Paskistan's $10 million gender programs equates to;

    Cost of Trump's $2,000 stimulus checks; $500 billion

    Number of Recipients; 73 million individuals, 78 million couples, and 40 million children under 17, thus 260 million

    260 million X FOUR CENTS = $10.4 million

    THEY'VE angrily jumped off their rocking chairs over FOUR ****en CENTS!

    You forgot Hugo Chavez and the Italian computer guy. It's true there is an affidavit posted on RW trash blogs.

    In addition to the above, how many hundreds of millions Bush/USAID spent in Afganistan on Gender Programs? Back then, I never heard a Republican complaining about it.

    Also, if Trump's loyalists don't know what gender equality is, then perhaps this image of gender inequality is self-explanatory;

    Thousands of sworn affidavits.

    There's also video and statistical evidence of fraudulent activities. There's also the fact that numerous State election laws were violated in numerous States.

    Denying the existence of evidence does not make it go away.

    By thousands of trump sycophants that didn't know WTF they were seeing! Has a single affidavit uncovered any real wrong doing? No? Hmmm I wonder why.

    I call bullshit. Link?


    There's evidence of lots of things that aren't true. If you look hard enough and suspend objectivity (ala trump true believers) you can find evidence of literally anything.
    Trumps IDIOTIC fraud claim has been considered and found lacking.

    They did not make their rulings based on merit. They made their rulings based on standing. They essentially claimed that the President of the USA did not have standing before, during, or after his own election.

    IOW, the court system is just as corrupt as any other governmental system in the now SOA...

    Some of the big ones were on standing, but the majority were on merit...

    You didn't have either, nor any valid evidence....

    Biden is currently talking about stopping the lying...

    Heed it...

    No, they were not denied on merits. Many of the judges are corrupt.

    Biden is DOING the lying, so no, he will not be "stopping" any lying...

    The lawsuits failed for various reasons. Some had errors in the filings, others lacked standing. Mainly, the allegations lacked proof.

    Don't read to much in to what Mitch is saying. He and Nancy are a Beltway Barnacles. Today they could be for something, tomorrow against it.

    Yeah, and Citizen Trump is going to release all the evidence for that “corruption”, in two weeks.
