McConnell actions cause mistrust

Our turtle-like Sen. Mitch McConnell has decided to block the Supreme Court nomination and wait until the next election in hopes he will get a favorable result.

This is the reason people hate politicians and don’t trust the government. The system is rigged. Democrats have the White House, a Supreme Court seat is vacant — why won’t McConnell do his job? Because he has no pressure at home. A silly little backward state like Kentucky can bring our country to a halt. I hope McConnell voters enjoyed the 440 filibusters (a record) and the blocking of judges. I just hope the rest of America is smart enough to see that Republicans can’t run government because they hate it. Why do they want to run something they hate? Power, money and control. The billionaires will win.

In the 2016 election, the billionaires decided to cut out the middleman, stop buying elections for politicians and take control themselves. Of course, the poor voters of Kentucky will be swayed into handing control to the rich, as usual, by the usual lures of racism, war drums and lies.
