Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made what seemed to be another criticism of President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, cautioning that the country is in a "dangerous" global situation similar to the years leading up to World War II, and pointing out that Trump's campaign slogan echoes that historical period.

“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War II,” he told The Financial Times in an article published Wednesday. “Even the slogan is the same. 'America First.' That was what they said in the '30s."

The phrase has roots in the 1850s nativist American Party and was used by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. The Ku Klux Klan adopted the slogan in the 1920s.

9. nice.

i can't do screen grabs from my laptop but i did do a "save image" from the image you posted! lol (so thanks for that)

funny thing -- i joined twitter in the spring of 2019 and i occasionally check that particular feed just to see if mitch mcconnell is dead yet and he never is! it always says "no"
HOWEVER, i just went on the that feed and i see they posted something a bit different on dec. 10 so here it is ("watch this space" with a link to an article from the hill) and someone's reply:

3. The sad thing is... I like the phrase (minus the fascist part)

A good government SHOULD put the priorities of the citizens first... not the corporations but the PEOPLE.

The problem is... AMERICA FIRST is a lie.

Trump, the KKK and the 170 years of other ne'er do wells don't REALLY mean care for all Americans FIRST.

5. For Moscow Mitch: STFU to infinity

Moscow Mitch enabled this rapist and convicted felon. And now he’s criticizing the man he’s enabled all this time?

STFU and may your remaining days be full of suffering and regret.

6. America: First in racism.

That's what Jim Crow Trump and his flying flunkies mean by America First.

7. You know you could have prevented this, asshole

On multiple occasions

10. Shut the fuck up

11. the utter GALL of that POS McConnell

12. Enemy of my enemy

Unfortunately he is one of a handful of Senators that can gum up the works for nominations and project 25. If it means we have to "weekend at Bernie's" him, then that's what we do. We don't have the luxury of fighting conventionally.we have to be strategic and sometimes it means supporting the enemy of our enemy. Believe me when I say, I am a true blue Democrat since 1981. I detest everything the turtle represents but, what's the alternative.

13. "Keep your friends close

and your enemies closer."

This goes back to the Bush/Gore days and still applies now...

14. Yes they could have ended this all then by impeaching and convicting him

He would not have been able to run again and he might even have faced some consequences for some his numerous crimes, probably over optimistic on the second.
