The decline to moral bankruptcy of the GOP

[Scuzz]

Exactly! Over 3 million illegal votes thanks to California’s lax liberal hellscape.

Per Fox News I imagine.

Veterans Day is a holiday, but it isn’t a work holiday. I can’t recall ever having veteran’s day off.

MLK Day is another day where the Feds take it off (along with banks and USPS) but many people work. It was common with the carpenters union to trade holidays so that they could have more 3-4 day weekends.

[JonRowe]

Exactly. It needs to be mandated as in private companies need to give time off for voting or go to the mail in ballots which solves that problem entirely.

Yeah, it won’t be a hard sell

“You don’t want a day off for the Veterans?” (also voting)

[Rightbug]

One could also argue that there is no better way to honor our veterans and the sacrifices they have made than by exercising our democratic rights

Here’s one bit of what’s going around the conservative apologist network with response to McConnell’s “power grab” anti-voting rhetoric (from FB comments):

Perhaps the Democrats are letting the press win on the race to misleading headlines this time.

McConnell lays out his reasoning, and it’s not the message that’s going around in these articles. This stuff has to be factchecked.

For example, compare the reporting to McConnell’s actual position given here, and there’s some light between the two. McConnell’s not anti-voter at all, but rather focusing on protecting taxpayer dollars and avoiding the corrupting influence of pouring more money–this time from the Treasury–into elections, when there are empirical questions about whether it would do any good in the first place.

But McConnell’s actual position is barely noted in the stories hitting the press

There should be a whole holiday culture around it. Democracy Day! With Democracy carols, Democracy nog, Democracy cards, and late night parties with sexy Abraham Lincoln costumes.

[KevinC]

We’re a Protestant nation, sir. Kindly take your frivolity back 'cross the Seas from whence it came.

[abrandt]

But leave the sexy Lincoln costume

[RichVR]

And the nog. We could all use some good nog.

[Mike_O_Malley]

We could all use some good nog.

[RichVR]

I will have to be clearer in the future.

Happy Democracy Day! May the gerrymandering be ever in your party’s favor!

He added, “This is the Democrat plan to restore democracy?

I like McConnell’s casual admission here that the Republicans have destroyed democracy.

[kerzain]

Maybe he did air quotes around “restore democracy.”

[rrmorton]

Or, hey, maybe he’s doing air quotes around his entire political career.

Half the GOP are full-on traitors.

I LOL’d, thanks!

[ArmandoPenblade]

I’m sure there will be widespread calls for my future toilet to step down from his party.

[Oghier]

How about that photo of McConnell shitting on the Constitution?

… By which I mean, every single photo of him at work.

[ArmandoPenblade]

He’s had his sphincter surgically altered to ensure the spray pattern leaves the important parts* unmolested when doing so, though.
