Three Blind Rats: Mootch McConnell, Mini-Mnuchin and the Orange King

Mootch McConnell’s complaining about Democrats holding back aid during the pandemic – how low can he go? He gets his Russian Oligarch buddies to make sure a Russian owned aluminum plant opens in Kentucky – and of course to contribute to his election PAC; he also rakes in money via his Transportation Secretary wife and her fat cat family in China and then - when he has a chance to do something worthwhile -  takes the weekend off (dismissing his followers) just when the Dems. had a pandemic economic plan ready to consider.
He returns and has a temper tantrum because the Dems. don’t like his ideas: his version of a bill includes a slush fund for the Orange King and his mini-Mnuchin to share with their major corporate friends. This of course includes buddies who hang out at Mar-a-Lago and top GOP fundraisers. And let’s not forget to bail out the poor corporations who register their businesses outside this country to avoid paying taxes – like all the cruise lines, pharmaceutical companies and more. Just think - they don't pay taxes here but when times are tough - guess what - they come crying  to the King: HELP US!

And the people who really need help? No jobs, no food on the table, no money for home payments and no money for health care? The Orange King does not deal with anyone who can’t line his pockets!

Every now and then I'm subjected to a clip or two of the Orange King's utterances - "really great, incredible, I'm smart",  but even with his limited vocabulary - enough words come spitting out - serving mainly  as an emetic.
