Throughout the debate for the past several weeks, Trump repeatedly implored his GOP confederates not to cooperate with the Democratic majority. But his plaintive pleading was for naught. And when the vote for passage was concluded, Trump released a despairing statement (via his spokes-shill, Liz Harrington, (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49961\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who is violating Twitter&#8217;s rules<\/a><\/strong>) that only served to highlight his feeble obsolescence:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed.

He could hardly stop a bill that had such popular support that even Republican senators knew it would be political suicide to oppose it. And yes, this is a victory for President Biden and the Democrats, but it would have been a devastating defeat for Republicans if they had killed it. Although there is still an opportunity for the GOP to get on the wrong side of the issue when the budget reconciliation bill comes up for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Trump uses this statement to cast blame on others and absolve himself of any responsibility for whatever he happens to be complaining about. This time it&#8217;s Senate GOP minority leader, Mitch McConnell. Trump laughably says that he <em>&#8220;quietly&#8221;<\/em> criticized McConnell in the past. As if Trump has ever done anything quietly. But as usual, Trump&#8217;s version of events doesn&#8217;t remotely resemble reality. Just this year Trump has loudly lambasted McConnell saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;We need good leadership. Mitch McConnell has not done a great job. I think they should change Mitch McConnell.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/trump-lashes-out-mcconnell-again-saying-republicans-need-new-leadership-2021-04-29\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4\/29\/2021<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>The Senate GOP leader is \u201ca dumb son of a bitch.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/11\/trump-mcconnell-dumb-son-of-a-bitch-rnc-480748\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4\/11\/2021<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>McConnell is a &#8220;dour, sullen, unsmiling political hack,&#8221; and that &#8220;if Republican Senators stay with him, they will not win again.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-breaks-with-mcconnell-calls-him-dour-sullen-unsmiling-hack-2021-2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2\/13\/2021<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Such a quiet man.
