The #1 reason for term limits. All of those years in office and the people of Kentucky are no better off. In fact they’re worse off now than they were in 1982. A complete disgrace. And he stands up there congratulating himself. Absolutely disgusting 🤮
I agree with terms limits and since Representatives have 2 year terms, no more than 4 consecutive terms and Senators have 6 year terms, then they have no more than 2 just as much as any president. and if the reach the maximum age of 75 they are required to retire.
But he won't be shamed; he'll just write a Tell All Book that will make him millions and falsely regret that he didn't force Trump to resign after Janaury 6th.
Reagan was the worst president in our history. We will never recover from the damage he did to the middle class. The fact that he is the standard barer for the republican party is just sad.
Sure he did,...he told lies!!! He had the nerve to meet with President Biden at his bridge in KY where the infrastructure bill which provided funding for his state which his party voted against.
Kentucky is one of the poorest States in America. How many millions has Mitch and his wife made during his elected tenure , especially during the reign of 45 and his appointment of McConnel’s wife as the Director of Transportation and her Chinese family connections in shipping.
Kentucky is ranked 39th out of 50 states. Economy is 43; Education it’s 32; health care it’s 46; infrastructure it’s 23; fiscal stability it’s 45. For all his brilliance his state numbers are poor at best.

As an european spectator of the american politics, I whole-heartedly hope that the next minority leader of the republican party in the US Senate would be a non-trumpian non-maga politician. I hope...
As another spectator from another country, this man has helped destroy what could have been a country that did not have to be facing a needless 'civil war' and return his country to the late 1800s.
There is no Republican Party … They have been replaced by religious fanatics and Trump worshippers. The United States is no longer a shining light of freedom.
As a S African spectator of the American politics, I whole-heartedly hope that the next leader of the US will be Trump. The last years have had a crippling effect on the world. Never have I seen such willful destruction of a country and Europe. Never have I seen such planned destruction of morals. If you believe "As an American, a reminder that our domestic affairs are none of your business" - you're wrong, it affects us all. My opinion. Good bye Mitch, good riddance.
My strongest memory of him is when he announced that he would do everything possible to prevent Obama from a successful term. Always before that, the parties shook hands and got to work. He's the one who appointed the justices
I mean Tip O'Neill and Gingrich put them on this path, Gingrich especially, IIRC, but McConnell has done so much damage to us, sheerly on 'We can't let them win EVER'
@carolutley6523 Yes, Moscow Mitch McConnell plan of destruction was completed by the biggest Racist America has ever had in the WH, Donald J. Trump, a TRAITOR to America. Moscow Mitch McConnell deserves to be remembered ONLY for that treasonous act!!
Trump will win God has opened our eyes 🇺🇸have never been so destroyed fake news also coming down Gods wrath is coming for all the corrupt politicians both sides
Yes, think Supreme Court - refusing to let Obama nominate a justice because it was “ too close to the election”. Then let trump put Covid Amy in after he LOST!
He stepping down because his sister in-law died on his Texas ranch under mysterious circumstances. She runs a Taiwanese shipping company that big contracts with the Federal and Chinese government. There has been a cover up and reports are starting leak out so the old geezer is getting out while the getting good.
The myth of "American exceptionalism" and Reagan BS ugh. My only fear is who the GOP is going to replace him with when he goes back to the pond to eat bugs like a happy slimy turtle.
This will end up being the same result as Johnson becoming speaker. McCarthy and McConnell are both god awful, especially McConnell, but they are extremely tame compared to who takes over for them, as since the republican party is becoming an actual cult, it's terrifying who's going to get the job regardless.
There is 'American exceptionalism' but it is not a positive thing right now. The propaganda that the American people are fed with that in mind is damaging America and other countries. It is why there is arrogance and ignorance from a large part of the population. Americans are not better than others; they are the same as others, both positively and negatively.
If Reagan was in the republicans party today they’d disown him. He ruined the economy for decades after he left,but at least he had a love for his country and democracy. No way he would have bent down to trump like the rest of these gutless clowns have
About 20 years too late. He's had a massive impact on how the current GOP mindset was framed. He ought to spend his remaining time in shame and self-flagellation.
He told all of us that there is no way he'd pass any bill under Obama after Obama was elected president. I could go oñ for days about this POS, but it's too tiring.
Sorry, Mitch, but your legacy will be tainted. You enabled Trump, when you were one of the few who could have smacked him down. Nobody will forget that. As Liz Cheney told you all: "One day, Trump will be gone. But your dishonor will live forever."
His "legacy" was already sick and depraved before Trump when he swore to block every single bill he could because a black Dem sat as POTUS, with no other justification. He has been and always will be a partisan hack who sides with Party over country every chance he gets.
Trump is the first president to not make money while being president. In fact all recent presidents besides Trump have gotten filthy rich from the job that pays little. Explain that one.
Now that he has nothing to lose he needs to denounce Trump and hopefully that gives the rest of the spineless republicans enough courage to stand up to Trump and MAGA foolishness.
Mitch McConnell failed to get rid of Trump when he had the chance. That would have saved the Republican Party and America from the menace that Trump and his russian master pose.
You people keep looking at it that way, but Putin and Trump had a mutual understanding. They are both leaders you don't want to be up against. They knew it would be mutually assured destruction. Why do you think Putin waited until Trump was out of office to make a move? He more or less admitted it.
@@seattlebeard that's the truth! Median pay, no lobby money, definitely no stock market. It used to be that way in the beginning. It was a real sacrifice to the country. Men lost their jobs to serve. Or at least didn't get paid, or could not run their business. I know people will say Trump didn't let the gov. Pay him. But that is BS. He got all kinds of side money and pay for doing that stunt. Not to mention the diamond studded golden parachute and pension.
Yeah, and remember, he got some Russian oligarch to build an aluminum plant in Kentucky. I assume that oligarch is raking money out of the country despite the restrictions on all things Russian. I assume that ole McConnell is getting a kick for that one.
In his own mind, he is probably most proud of being instrumental in overturning Roe. The majority of the country, including myself, will consider it the WORST thing he did.
In his own mind, he thinks he’s done “amazing” things for the country when in fact he’s as delusional as an alcoholic trying to become sober at a brewery.
Don't worry, idiots like him think that stand up for what is right but they know in their hearts he just set the stage for the massive Progressive movement of the future. It always the case.
This guy has brought so much suffering to this country and its people. He had no soul, his prayers were empty, the only driver for him was power. Nobody will miss him and his failure to convict Trump will forever put him in the group of people that are the most dangerous to our democracy. Good ridden.
No 'American exceptionalism' exists. It is a misguided belief in its own self-importance. The propaganda that the American people are fed with that in mind is damaging America and other countries and showing the cowardice of men like McConnell and Johnson. It is why there is arrogance and ignorance from a large part of the population, who have not been taught world history, the good and the bad i.e., WWII was not won by Americans alone. Americans are not better than others; they are the same as others, both positively and negatively.
Sad thing is she's actually the least conservative republican by a strong margin, where she actually ranks MORE liberal than Joe Manchin (though that means very little as she is among the senators responsible for voting for McConnell to be a leader in the senate and allowing him to do all the damage he's done, where as Joe Manchin could at least vote for Chuck Schumer). But she does some actually sensible (non-destructive, absolute bear minimum effort) things, like voting against Trump's supreme court picks, to convict him during impeachment, and to certify Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's election win. But since she's from Maine it would be good if she goes as it probably means a democrat or democrat caucusing independent would be elected. So you are technically correct, the best kind of correct, she needs to go immediately so democrats can gain a seat and help prevent damage from being inflicted upon our lives by people like McConnell.
The more I think about it, he is the reason Trump is still around and able to do the things he’s doing. Had McConnell simply had the you know what, he would’ve whipped the votes in the Senate to convict Trump of insurrection and he would’ve never been able to hold any elected office again. It’s all his fault.

OF COURSE!!!
As an european spectator of the american politics, I whole-heartedly hope that the next minority leader of the republican party in the US Senate would be a non-trumpian non-maga politician. I hope...
As another spectator from another country, this man has helped destroy what could have been a country that did not have to be facing a needless 'civil war' and return his country to the late 1800s.
Trust me, most Americans are hoping to have non-MAGA politicians in power too. Thanks for the support.
There is no Republican Party … They have been replaced by religious fanatics and Trump worshippers. The United States is no longer a shining light of freedom.
No it will be a brain dead maga stooge. The good thing is he/she will be very incompetent
As a S African spectator of the American politics, I whole-heartedly hope that the next leader of the US will be Trump. The last years have had a crippling effect on the world. Never have I seen such willful destruction of a country and Europe. Never have I seen such planned destruction of morals. If you believe "As an American, a reminder that our domestic affairs are none of your business" - you're wrong, it affects us all. My opinion. Good bye Mitch, good riddance.
My strongest memory of him is when he announced that he would do everything possible to prevent Obama from a successful term.
Always before that, the parties shook hands and got to work.
He's the one who appointed the justices
I mean Tip O'Neill and Gingrich put them on this path, Gingrich especially, IIRC, but McConnell has done so much damage to us, sheerly on 'We can't let them win EVER'
@@zerombr true dat! Gingrich is like Steve Bannon in a suit. Specializing in disinformation
@carolutley6523 Yes, Moscow Mitch McConnell plan of destruction was completed by the biggest Racist America has ever had in the WH, Donald J. Trump, a TRAITOR to America. Moscow Mitch McConnell deserves to be remembered ONLY for that treasonous act!!
Exactly when Congress became dysfunctional, because President Obama was black, no other reason.
Denying Obama his Supreme Court pick was one of the most shameless things I have ever experienced.
And then rushed trump’s second pick before the election. Mcconnel is garbage.
Shameful
Cry
Absolutely true
😂😂😂😂
This coward could have stopped trump
Why would he have? Trump is giving him what he wants.
He is the one that offer him the job 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Trump will win God has opened our eyes 🇺🇸have never been so destroyed fake news also coming down Gods wrath is coming for all the corrupt politicians both sides

HOORAY
As a Kentucky citizen, this is a very happy day for me
I am from Kentucky. Good bye Mitch we are so glad to get rid of you. Both parties are fed up with you.
Stepping down as GOP leader? He’s never been a “leader” in his miserable insignificant life.
Your comment is disgraceful.

A perfect example of the need for term limits.
The damage he has done to this country will be his legacy.
Yes, think Supreme Court - refusing to let Obama nominate a justice because it was “ too close to the election”. Then let trump put Covid Amy in after he LOST!
I agree!
Tell the truth about Trump now!!!!
He will write a book about.
@@barbaratartt6661good point
As a Kentuckian, let me just say good riddance.
Mitch leaving is like having a hemorrhoid removed. And he will be missed just as much.
😂😂😂 Hahahahaha!
And what a relief it is to have it removed 😌
@carltaylor4942 - Your comment really made me laugh, THANK YOU
Now we just need, Maxine waters, Pelosi and a few others to scram
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He helped usher in that train wreck of a Supreme Court we are currently suffering through. Thanks for nothing Mitch
You mean one that follows the constitution? Move to china, traitor.
He stepping down because his sister in-law died on his Texas ranch under mysterious circumstances. She runs a Taiwanese shipping company that big contracts with the Federal and Chinese government. There has been a cover up and reports are starting leak out so the old geezer is getting out while the getting good.
Contributions? He is solely responsible for the rescinded individual rights and far right appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court
Solely responsible, no. Those Supreme Court picks were from the leaders of the GOP and were picked on loyalty to them especially on abortion.
What does far right mean?
its means FASCIST@@Ikeebeabuchi
@@bonbonvegabon so what Supreme Court justices are fascists?
And he'll have to live with that for whatever time he has left. I hope he has nightmares for the remainder of his life.
Translation: 45 asked me to step down so bye everyone.
Good riddance and his legacy will be all of the damage that he has done to this country, disgusting.
The myth of "American exceptionalism" and Reagan BS ugh. My only fear is who the GOP is going to replace him with when he goes back to the pond to eat bugs like a happy slimy turtle.
Nice Cecil reference! hahah But yeah seriously worried who will take his place.
This will end up being the same result as Johnson becoming speaker. McCarthy and McConnell are both god awful, especially McConnell, but they are extremely tame compared to who takes over for them, as since the republican party is becoming an actual cult, it's terrifying who's going to get the job regardless.
Worried about that myself.
There is 'American exceptionalism' but it is not a positive thing right now.
The propaganda that the American people are fed with that in mind is damaging America and other countries.
It is why there is arrogance and ignorance from a large part of the population. Americans are not better than others; they are the same as others, both positively and negatively.
If Reagan was in the republicans party today they’d disown him. He ruined the economy for decades after he left,but at least he had a love for his country and democracy. No way he would have bent down to trump like the rest of these gutless clowns have
About 20 years too late. He's had a massive impact on how the current GOP mindset was framed. He ought to spend his remaining time in shame and self-flagellation.
Truth
Reeeee 😂
Black crime, poor economy, open border, unconstitutiona gun lawsl, and the LGBT trans force-fed agenda created our current mindset
@@mopar21 oh dear, are you having a stroke?
@@Spreadie nope. The left does when people don't go along with their woke agenda 😘
Hallelujah! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
Mitch accomplished nothing in United States senate
Other than amassing raw singular political party power..the country and its people be damned.
He definitely had a hand in overturning abortion rights.
Like Trump
his big donors disagree
@richardc8795 which was not accomplishment
That woman sitting behind him also has a lot to answer for !
The throughly odious Susan Collins. She's always "concerned" about the crap republicans inflict on the people, but she always votes for it anyway.
If she’s not gone by the time I get there, I plan to show her the door.
“I’m certain Donald Trump has learned his lesson”.
@@trappenweisseguy27 Yes he has: he's learned how to get away with everything by Blackmailing Congress.
Thank God the news media is actually going to report something that’s good news for once.
Yes unlike Biden who's got Alzheimer's or dementia? It's so bad he doesn't recognize a need to retire
Wait until you see the freak he gets replaced with before judging this "good news"
@@theparadoxicaltouristtrave9320 Probably some Project 2025 FREAK.
He told all of us that there is no way he'd pass any bill under Obama after Obama was elected president. I could go oñ for days about this POS, but it's too tiring.
Truth is we should never have anyone in office for so many years.
McConnell has been a pox for at least 15 years. Age had nothing to do with it.
Sorry, Mitch, but your legacy will be tainted. You enabled Trump, when you were one of the few who could have smacked him down. Nobody will forget that.
As Liz Cheney told you all: "One day, Trump will be gone. But your dishonor will live forever."
THANK YOU!!!
Well said!
He also handicapped Obamas presidency
His "legacy" was already sick and depraved before Trump when he swore to block every single bill he could because a black Dem sat as POTUS, with no other justification. He has been and always will be a partisan hack who sides with Party over country every chance he gets.
Yes!! He did!!! @@brandond8119
Oh, he will be remembered, but not fondly.
They thought they had it bad with Mitch. The crazy train is about to start.
It is unbelievable how one man like him can damage a country as a whole like he did
He should have done it a decade ago.
Nixon: A president that became a crook
Trump: A crook that became a president
Trump is the first president to not make money while being president. In fact all recent presidents besides Trump have gotten filthy rich from the job that pays little. Explain that one.
The only good thing he’s done in years
Now that he has nothing to lose he needs to denounce Trump and hopefully that gives the rest of the spineless republicans enough courage to stand up to Trump and MAGA foolishness.
Uh, not. A. Chance
Thank you for making this about Trump. It shows you are mentally stable.
Why is everyone saying this? He is just another Trump stooge like the rest of them. Trump is the Republican party and they all toss his salad.
His sister in law ☠️under mysterious circumstances in Texas. Moscow Mitch is responsible for enabling putin's tr45h, imo.
Don’t hold your breath! Mitch is as bad as donny as far as what he wanted America to become. 👎🏼
He played Gingeich's us-vs-them game rather than do a Senator's real job. Now here we are, divided as ever.
I hope he is pleased with the way he is leaving this country broken and divided
Mitch McConnell failed to get rid of Trump when he had the chance.
That would have saved the Republican Party and America from the menace that Trump and his russian master pose.
The Oligarchy are in place and have captured SCOTUS. The damage is done with or without the 45th Clown
Mouth breather
Thank goodness for Trump who did many things good for the people making harder for the left to insane all of us😊
Who knows, maybe McConnell is not yet finished with his service towards the Kremlin?
You people keep looking at it that way, but Putin and Trump had a mutual understanding. They are both leaders you don't want to be up against. They knew it would be mutually assured destruction. Why do you think Putin waited until Trump was out of office to make a move? He more or less admitted it.
Can we have term limits PLEASE????
Apparently the majority of voters in Kentucky gave him the long illustrious career he speaks of. That's how people enforce term limits.
It would be more effective to get money out of politics.
@@TheACcam that's a common promise that always gets broken.
@@seattlebeard that's the truth! Median pay, no lobby money, definitely no stock market. It used to be that way in the beginning. It was a real sacrifice to the country. Men lost their jobs to serve. Or at least didn't get paid, or could not run their business. I know people will say Trump didn't let the gov. Pay him. But that is BS. He got all kinds of side money and pay for doing that stunt. Not to mention the diamond studded golden parachute and pension.
There are term limits , they are located in the VOTING BOOTH !
he finally decided to retire and spend more time with our money.
Haha... perfectly put. Goodbye
I’m sure you’re big contributor 😂. Your money or your mommy’s money?😂
Yeah, and remember, he got some Russian oligarch to build an aluminum plant in Kentucky. I assume that oligarch is raking money out of the country despite the restrictions on all things Russian. I assume that ole McConnell is getting a kick for that one.
Good one n sad but true
he is not retiring, only stepping down as leader of his faction!
The enemy you know is better than the enemy you dont know. The question is "How extreme will his replacement be?"
"I turned 82 last week..." Pauses for applause but realizes, just in time, that he'd better get on with it before it gets weird.
😂😂😂 Hahahahaha!
He's in the room by himself.
In his own mind, he is probably most proud of being instrumental in overturning Roe. The majority of the country, including myself, will consider it the WORST thing he did.
In his own mind, he thinks he’s done “amazing” things for the country when in fact he’s as delusional as an alcoholic trying to become sober at a brewery.
He thinks his best accomplishment is seeing his decades of getting the supreme court rigged come to fruition !
Don't worry, idiots like him think that stand up for what is right but they know in their hearts he just set the stage for the massive Progressive movement of the future. It always the case.
Strange how nobody was screaming "No Mitch! Please! Don't go!"
Heh. Too true.
He isn't going. Just handing over the leadership. He isn't resigning. Je just said he will be in a different seat.
Great how about today why wait we have suffered enough with him there .
No indication of concern or even acknowledgement of the state that he’s leaving his party in, he’s just so proud of it though guys
Kentucky is the poorest red state and he's the richest republican senator.
This guy has brought so much suffering to this country and its people. He had no soul, his prayers were empty, the only driver for him was power. Nobody will miss him and his failure to convict Trump will forever put him in the group of people that are the most dangerous to our democracy. Good ridden.
Spoken like a true liberal. 😂 Convict Trump? Of what? Convicting Biden and his loser son would do our country a lot more good.
AMEN!!! He has a legacy of failure for his state and for the country.
No 'American exceptionalism' exists. It is a misguided belief in its own self-importance.
The propaganda that the American people are fed with that in mind is damaging America and other countries and showing the cowardice of men like McConnell and Johnson.
It is why there is arrogance and ignorance from a large part of the population, who have not been taught world history, the good and the bad i.e., WWII was not won by Americans alone. Americans are not better than others; they are the same as others, both positively and negatively.
the woman behind him in the red needs to go next!!!!!!
Agreed. POS from Maine
She's at the age where her central nervous system causes her to constantly shake.
Sad thing is she's actually the least conservative republican by a strong margin, where she actually ranks MORE liberal than Joe Manchin (though that means very little as she is among the senators responsible for voting for McConnell to be a leader in the senate and allowing him to do all the damage he's done, where as Joe Manchin could at least vote for Chuck Schumer). But she does some actually sensible (non-destructive, absolute bear minimum effort) things, like voting against Trump's supreme court picks, to convict him during impeachment, and to certify Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's election win. But since she's from Maine it would be good if she goes as it probably means a democrat or democrat caucusing independent would be elected. So you are technically correct, the best kind of correct, she needs to go immediately so democrats can gain a seat and help prevent damage from being inflicted upon our lives by people like McConnell.
The more I think about it, he is the reason Trump is still around and able to do the things he’s doing. Had McConnell simply had the you know what, he would’ve whipped the votes in the Senate to convict Trump of insurrection and he would’ve never been able to hold any elected office again. It’s all his fault.
There is a special place for this Monster...pretty much for eternity.
Fantastic!!!!! Susan Collins is looking like she was in line to say she was leaving as well!
History will remember him as an important enabler of Donald Trump although he could have ended this nightmare by impeaching Trump in the Senate.
😂 there was nothing impeach him on. Be mad at Adam Schiff for lying to you
We wouldn't have this illegal immigration problem right now if Trump were in office.
@@bathory5026 That is nonsense. Biden did not change the immigration policy. And republicans were blocking a bill that would allow to do more to protect the border. Where is the wall Trump wanted to build and have Mexico paid for it?
@@bathory5026 Republican state Texas has always supported letting immigrants in illegally. The wealthy in Texas always hired the cheap labor; thus keeping wages low. Abbott was a big supporter
@@diannestephen-rocco2156 There are going to be SOME people for any policy somewhere in a state, sure, but most Texans didn't want it, at least not on THAT level.
Senator McConnell high respect to you❤ You distinguished yourself with Trump who is a such a disgrace to our great country, even to the Republican Party!
