5/6/21 McConnell's Out to Block Biden's Agenda. What Else is New?

Mitch McConnell was so keen to sidestep a question about Liz Cheney yesterday that he stepped into another puddle entirely. “One hundred percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration,” McConnell said during an appearance in Georgetown, Kentucky. "Biden won the election, but Bernie won the argument."

Huh? Biden came up with the bold proposals for legislation himself. In doing so, "Sleepy Joe" woke up all of us.

The main reason the GOP doesn't like the Biden proposals is probably that Biden wants to raise taxes on the rich and on corporations to pay for it. Or maybe they’re mad that Biden is has high approval ratings.

It's possible they'll say it has to do with the principle of blah-dee-blah or blah-dee-blee, but the GOP's raison de etre has been anything but principled for a long, long time.

Of course, McConnell has blocked more legislation, nominations, and anything else Democrats might want to push for than anyone in memory. He's good at it. He did abolish the filibuster -- selectively, rather than across the board.

Then again, McConnell once said his top focus was to make Obama a one-term president. We know how that went.

Whatever McConnell really meant when he said "100% of my focus," he once again showed his political smarts by modeling what pundits say that Liz Cheney should do: find something to agree with other Republicans about.

Oh, and keep your mouth shut about Donald Trump.
