The idea was thrown around a few years ago. (Something like 3 senate terms and 4 house terms). Looked like it would go to the floor and had support until the senators running for a 3rd + term and congress persons running for 4+ terms realized it meant they were effectively ending their career. Everyone else realized it meant they wouldn't be allowed to run for more terms and eventually support for the bill died out.
@SolaceEasy Not sure of the person who originally said the idea but do remember ,Trumps right Hand aka Ted Cruz said he'd consider term limits for house and senate members if he was elected president during a Q&A which was than mentioned in a blurb on Fox News ,(at the time when Fox News was still Luke Warm on Trump so it had raised heads.)
@@jamesbraun9842Except that it's not impossible to impeach a private citizen, and the vote took place before Trump was out of office, and it could have solved a lot of problems if he'd voted with honor instead of for party.
Be honest, do you think that if roles were reversed Obama was a republican and mitch was a Democrat, would you call him shimmy for blocking the Supreme Court nomination. Your just upset that he pulled it off any the democrats couldn't.
@@johnnyrocket9372Yes, I definitely would. I’ll never forget hearing his reasoning for not confirming Garland. It was absurd, unpatriotic, and absent of integrity. Regardless of which party it happened to, the issue is that he unilaterally deprived the people of their voices with his actions. Obama was elected, and with that election came the right (or rather the obligation) to ensure any vacancies on the court be filled. Mitch did something unprecedented and will be a stain in American history.
Wow what a wonderful situation 👏 remember during the pandemic when we needed him most? The people needed help and he turned his back on the people! Good bye 🎉
McConnell must love China, look at his wife Elaine Chao. "Elaine Chao has deep business ties to China at time of US-Chinese competition."--New York Times "Elaine Chao, who has garnered popularity in China as the first Chinese-American to become a US cabinet secretary"--CNN btw, Elaine Chao's father was a university classmate of the late Chinese President Jiang Zemin.
He has destroyed many careers over the years.Term limits are needed as these important position should not be lifetime employment. Watching this is heartbreaking to think he can last till 2027. Will his last vote be from a wheelchair?
Remember, investing comes with risks, so it's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or planner to help you create a personalized investment strategy that suits your goals and risk tolerance. Good luck with your investing journey!
Frr, I have been hearing lots of wonderful things about this woman too on CNN but didn't believe it until now.When someone is straight forward at what he or she does people will always speak for them.i know a couple of friends who makes profits in the financial market
"30 yrs to convince everybody that im an a-hole?" What does it say about our politicians when they thrive to be hated and despised? At the least its blatantly obvious he did more for himself than he ever did for the state of Kentucky.
I wish him the best of luck! I hope that others will leave too. Just enjoy the rest of your life politicians. You got everything over the years unlike ordinary citizens.
Did y'all see other countries, saying he's power greedy or he need to step down??.. nah if America can mind their business n focus on constitution change maybe the world will b peaceful
and he's still going to be tottering around the senate like Feinstein did for way too long, his term ends in 2027 for god sake, will probably die in office given the state of his health.
WE NEED TO STOP CAREER LEECHES (aka career politicians). POLITICIANS NEED TO BE PART-TIME MOUTH-PIECES & FULL TIME WORKERS. RETURN TO ZERO PAY FOR WORDS & FULL TIME FOR ACTIONS
"One of life's most underappreciated talents is to know when it's time to move on to life's next chapter," "So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. It must be noted it took Senator McConnell 4-1/2 hours to make this announcement as he stared off into an endless void at times seemingly in search for the appropriate words for this momentous occasion.
He’s still a senator. So he still has influence to continue to make a mess of the future generation. He’s just doesn’t want to be the leader Dude is as evil as it comes
Real and menace Power to Block, Resist, be stationary in line with status quo Ante, Oppose and Sabotage progressivism and Judicial appointments, is real Power, like Dune Part 2.
One of the worst ever in the senate. He made politics even more terrible.
POC - Party Over Country.
Disgusting
Term limits! Noone in congress has the guts to introduce a bill into law to make this happen.
The idea was thrown around a few years ago. (Something like 3 senate terms and 4 house terms). Looked like it would go to the floor and had support until the senators running for a 3rd + term and congress persons running for 4+ terms realized it meant they were effectively ending their career.

I would vote for it in a second
Senator Noone? What state?

He declared that Trump was responsible for Jan 6. Yet he voted to NOT impeach Trump. What moral (or lack of) position does this man stand?
He said there was no point because Trump was on his way out already, and it was impossible to impeach a private citizen.
@@jamesbraun9842Except that it's not impossible to impeach a private citizen, and the vote took place before Trump was out of office, and it could have solved a lot of problems if he'd voted with honor instead of for party.
@@jamesbraun9842 Take a civics class. McConnell never had one.
He is slimmest of the politicians. His hypocrisy is the worst. He is a stain on our institutions.
His weight moved to the bottom of his chin
The reason he's leaving is that he's not even close to slimy compared to the recent crop of crazies.

I agree with Mitch, knowing when to quit is a positive character trait he lacks entirely.
The last five years, mitch, mcconnell has been a joke
It is long-past due for him to retire. He has hurt the party more than helped these last 5 years.
Far from a joke he's done more damage to America than anyone on the hill in American history.
You mean the last twenty.
Ok, my bad🤔
Politicians older than 67 should go home and enjoy whatever time they have left with their families, money, hobbies. Let the country move forward.
Stealing from Donald's Playbook is not a good fit for you
Wow what a wonderful situation 👏 remember during the pandemic when we needed him most? The people needed help and he turned his back on the people! Good bye 🎉
Good bye turtle 🐢
Franklin 😂
Mitch , you said it yourself , It’s time to move on , NOW !
sure loved the part where u guys explained how the senate leader leveraged his power over 17 years and not just the last 5 years
He's going back into his shell.
AND GRAVE
Wont be missed
Intriguing to see McConnell's power journey 🎭
I will be so dam happy to see you go
term limits
As it’s been said- don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you.
zamn, that's a wise quote, gonna remember that one
Thank god
No. He needs to STEP DOWN NOW!!!
GOOD RIDDANCE……. DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR BEHIND 😅😅😅
He was a pay for play dude. Should have stepped down 10 yrs ago.
A reputation as a master legislative strategist and enabler of Donald Trump. Some legacy👎🏿
Hold up rules when they serve you and break them as necessary when they don't.
He needs to step down today!!!
Calling Mitch a turtle is an insult to turtles everywhere.
This walking mummy has earned his place in history; unfortunate for the people of this country.
Mitch the craziest unpopular muppet of all time
Don't slam the door.
When turtle man begun with his speech , I was like, please don’t freeze, please don’t freeze

She's also from Taiwan which is a distinction you're choosing to ignore. Also, her father went to university prior to the CCP taking power.
He has destroyed many careers over the years.Term limits are needed as these important position should not be lifetime employment. Watching this is heartbreaking to think he can last till 2027. Will his last vote be from a wheelchair?
Wish he would leave today! Should have retired 15 to 20 years ago!!!!
Mitch, please leave now!!!
It always was about him first, and then our constitution and our country. DISGUSTING!
I'm favoured, $28k every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures.
Remember, investing comes with risks, so it's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or planner to help you create a personalized investment strategy that suits your goals and risk tolerance. Good luck with your investing journey!
Big thanks to Elizabeth Ann graney
Her top notch guidance and expertise on
digital market changed the game for me

Never Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court! Best thing Mitch ever did. merrick Garland is worst ever AG in our history.
It's about time that you step down ok
He should have stepped down 10 years ago, But his corruption Got the best of Him, You will not be missed Mitch, Not one bit.
I'll remember Mitch in a poor light due to 1) blocking a vote on a Supreme Court nominee 2) not voting to impeach Trump.
By, By, Mitch.
Mitch nobody will miss your leadershit
Thank God… finally
You won't be missed
Is greatest accomplished is that he got many house speakers to reside or be removed
He is hated by many..
The evil turtle must go!
👍👍👍Rino go
17 years of corrupted snowman 😅😅😅😅😅
Bye Mr Turtle.
🤡
Stop insulting Turtles
The Grim Reaper, A name He wore proudly for 39 years, Don't sound Sad now You Are Evil, Just Go Home Now.*
Of course, WSJ will act like he is a god, instead of the hater, bigot, grifter, Chinese colluder he really was. Get real.
Can this be related to someone’s death?
He’s more upset about no more kick back’s from foreign aid.
Nothing lasts forever! Even turtles expire.
McConnell forgot to take his legacy with him: Trump and MAGA chaos
N E X T B I D E N. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Anyone who believes he'll truly leave before the election is in for a awakening.
The evil himself.
He has no soul
🤷🏼♂️
Good move on!!!!
So long, Darth McConnell. You won't be missed.
This guy can't even do "The five knuckled rotating shuffle"
The amount of human suffering, corruption, hatred, and erosion of democracy this one person sowed is obscene.
"30 yrs to convince everybody that im an a-hole?" What does it say about our politicians when they thrive to be hated and despised? At the least its blatantly obvious he did more for himself than he ever did for the state of Kentucky.
If only there had been a bus 17 years ago That ran across the crossword, Whoops.
What a different world
He is being forced out. Drain the cess pool
🐢
Honestly
TERM LIMITS!
Old corrupt politicians never learn.
Oh Mitch stop the bs just go ok.
Glitch McConnel should have been gone a long time ago
Karma doesn't forget !
I really hope he never finds rest whatever is left of his life
No matter what you say about him,he did get results for his party,and without him,the seat will be replaced by a MAGA conservative
TERM LIMITS
Ngl I was cracked up by Obama’s line😂 cannot imagine a worse person to have a drink with than Mitch loll
I wish him the best of luck! I hope that others will leave too. Just enjoy the rest of your life politicians. You got everything over the years unlike ordinary citizens.
Well, work was my life, too, until MAGA decided to ruin healthcare.
Did y'all see other countries, saying he's power greedy or he need to step down??.. nah if America can mind their business n focus on constitution change maybe the world will b peaceful
I have many faults but misunderstanding politics is not one of them
Exactly why exactly why we need Perm Limits..old guard ideology SHOULD NOT DOOM US FUTURE
They all need to retire and enjoyed life for a litle while
not sure they deserve to enjoy life, maybe they should spend some time thinking about what they've done.
and for what, so his party "wins" how is ruining our government a win for anyone?
and he's still going to be tottering around the senate like Feinstein did for way too long, his term ends in 2027 for god sake, will probably die in office given the state of his health.
WE NEED TO STOP CAREER LEECHES (aka career politicians). POLITICIANS NEED TO BE PART-TIME MOUTH-PIECES & FULL TIME WORKERS. RETURN TO ZERO PAY FOR WORDS & FULL TIME FOR ACTIONS
He wants to leave in a box. He won't ever retire.
I hope the senate would be a better place for the American people without him.
The villain has stepped down
how? he used to plan what wsj should show
Please elect a candidate who is anti war
This guy was there worst
Go AWAY

I wonder how full his diaper was during this speech. Term limits and age limits need to happen.
Don't you mean abused his power
America needs conservatism, not populism but the pendulum needs to swing back towards more conservative/traditional values... Just my opinion
Let's do some research on how many of his family members are cashing in on our tax money.
He’s still a senator. So he still has influence to continue to make a mess of the future generation. He’s just doesn’t want to be the leader
Dude is as evil as it comes
Bye !!!!!! And Good !!
Buh bye...... Worst senetar ever......
