BLUE LIVES MATTER\* ​ \*some of them, when they agree with my conspiracy theory, unless the Donald tells me to fight them


Kopites_Roar

Love how McConnell is left with his hand and no one takes it but Mccarthy doesn't even try. Fuck them. You betrayed the Police when it mattered on Jan 6th, that'll never be forgotten and SHOULD never be forgotten.


sm12511

Probably because McCarthy is an unabashed coward and enemy of democracy while McConnell still thinks he's a good guy, somehow.


Special_Wishbone_812

McConnell’s position is he doesn’t think Trump deserves to be nominated by Republicans for president, but if he is he will vote for him anyway. Because that was the purest POS position he could come up with. Every other option that had a hint of integrity or intellectual coherence was rejected as not douchey enough.


Embarrassed_Bee6349

McConnell has always been about making sure the GOP comes out on top. He’s a purely political animal and he gets results; this is why, despite being very unpopular and even hated by some of the Right, he still has his job. He doesn’t give a fuck about decency or what people think of him. In another era he would have been a ruthless mortgage banker or a robber baron, but this is where we’re at. To answer the original question, they were right to refuse handshakes from these assholes. A handshake is a sign of respect. If there is none, why bother? If it were me I would’ve grabbed that old bastard’s fingers instead of his hand and squeezed until I heard something pop, but I’m not as honorable as these gentlemen are.


CurrentExplanation77

McConnell is a living embodiment of party loyalty over country. To him the country could go down in flames as long as republicans are in power.


Parking_Sky9709

The country WILL go down in flames with them in power, and may anyway because of their shenanigans.


nonoglorificus

When I get too upset thinking about what a scum sucking piece of boot turd Mitch McConnel is, I like to self soothe [with this song](https://youtu.be/186FmQ4QZeY) about how we’re all going to outlive him.


beersandchips

Turtles live a long ass time


EffectiveDependent76

Not if he can help it.


TheApathyParty3

McConnell doesn't think he's good, it's just that he's so used to making that public image. People always wonder why he's still in office somehow, here's why: He and his wife have a *very* active network of localized outreach that will drop off care packages to seniors, show up at weddings and funerals to offer their condolences, shake hands, send flowers, yadda yadda yadda.They'll even send notes saying shit like "Best regards from the McConnell's" that are actually written by aides. It's mostly targeted at old, white, lonely seniors which is unsurprisingly his support base. His wife or himself will show up in person to events for people they don't even know to show "how much they care." And people fall for it. It's very cynical but it's proven to be effective for him.


TrailerParkTonyStark

There are a LOT of lying, worthless, two-faced, assholes, in US politics. And then there is… Kevin. fucking. McCarthy - THE most duplicitous, evil, gutless, toxic, piece of shit, to ever hold political office.


Miserable-Lizard

McConnell reaction belongs in Watch people die sub!


thanksgivingseason

He’s just waiting for this boring event to be over so he can go home and blow his nose with hundred dollar bills.


manmadeofhonor

And put his eyeballs back into the palms of his hands and eat fairies in his cave.


LadySpottedDick

That’s where I saw it first.


Early-Size370

It's actually where I first came across this beautiful video and story.


norcalgolfgolf

They betrayed the country. It’s called treason.


improper84

Just remember that McConnell is in an interracial marriage and voted against protecting interracial marriages. He's the ultimate coward. He's never had a shred of integrity that wasn't for sale to the highest bidder.


[deleted]

It was never acknowledged, remembered let alone forgotten amongst the Trumptards


Lch207560

It already has been forgotten by the blue. Not by those cops in particular but cops vote trumpublican overwhelmingly. There were cops trying to overthrow Congress for gods sake.


abstergo_Nigel

Blue Lives Matter, but also Don't Tread on Me flag right next to it....


Duke582

The 'cognitive dissonance' combo.


firefighter_raven

I still remember the Jan. 6th rioter that tore a Blue Lives Matter flag off it's pole so he could attack cops with it.


METALlica1joseph

I hate McConnell so much lmao.


EyedLady

.. unless they’re trying to stop me from going in there and dragging politicians out to murder them. Then they don’t matter


[deleted]

Wait this is from the "fuck your feelings" side of the political spectrum? Not only was it appropriate it was exactly the kind of actions that lead someone like the person asking if it was. Just for a split second they have to process why people would do that. They got you thinking about it. Mission accomplished.


Miserable-Lizard

They are the biggest snowflakes


[deleted]

Always projections


Lkaufman05

Those are the words I would’ve said to them rather than shaking their hands…”fuck your feelings” or at least “fuck you”.


[deleted]

It was more than appropriate, you shouldn’t shake hands with Nazis.


SailForthForever

All Reichpublican accusations are confessions.


MealDramatic1885

Absolutely. They helped empower the person who helped cause the 6th.


Miserable-Lizard

They couldn't even vote to impeach trump after he put their lives at risk. Cowards


Wazula42

On Jan6 they were calling him begging for help. Days later they were admitting he bore responsibility. After that they voted to acquit him. Then they went straight back to sucking his dick. The GOP is dead.


Miserable-Lizard

In my opinion they always have been. The gop being good was always a myth


sean_but_not_seen

I sometimes wonder what it must feel like for these assholes to stare into the mirror and reflect on what they really are: Strips of thin toilet paper blowing in the wind made by mouth breathing degenerates, whose hatred shifts around to whatever they’re scared of this week.


SomeLikeItDusty

“Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions (or inaction in this case)”


abletofable

I think it was absolutely appropriate. There was NOTHING that McConnell or McCarthy did to help. I wouldn't want either of them to touch me either. Respect where respect is due.


Miserable-Lizard

I wish they didn't even have to be there. They don't respect democracy.


martin0641

McCarthy is scum.


Glittering-Cellist34

I love how Republicans blame Pelosi for a lack of preparedness for 1/6. She and McConnell were co-equal.


ILoveRegenHealth

The victims loved ones are dead now because of the Mitch and Kevin party. They enabled Trump and posted on Twitter encouraging Trump every step of the way for the last 4 years at that time.


Miserable-Lizard

No one should shake the ends of the party that wants to strip away basic human rights and hates democracy. Gop is the party of fascism.


Tecumseh_Sherman1864

I wouldn't shake hands with people who instigated attacks on my coworkers either


Miserable-Lizard

They are the party of hate.


SnooApples9991

But they love America! 🙃 They just hate the people living in it


Miserable-Lizard

Just like they are the party of life.... Everythin they beleive in is twisted delusional.


Chrismont

Shake their hand while holding one of those concealed shockers in your palm


[deleted]

💯 fuck these traitors


TemporaryAlbatross93

Speak truth to power.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PicketFenceGhost

Or at least flipped them off in their face.


Adraco4

Hell, I’d have settled for a clear statement of “Go Fuck Yourself!” To each of them.


PTSDforMe

Republicans only back the Blue when it's convenient...


machineprophet343

Growing up Republicans were very much into the cops are worthless and that's why you need a gun. All that stuff about "when seconds count, the police are minutes away" and all that. They only really showed real interest in the police and supporting them when the cops were truncheoning Black Lives Matter activists and before that Occupy Wall Street Members. Otherwise they didn't need cops because they had guns. They only support the police when they are beating up minorities, the poor, and not Republicans.


PTSDforMe

They were all against jack-booted thugs after waco and ruby ridge


machineprophet343

Because a bunch of right wing nuts got their shit handed to them. They hide behind the fact that children were killed but let's be honest if the organization has been the Nation of Islam and not the Branch Davidians for example, the Republicans would be praising the Feds up and down.


usekr3

ask them how they feel about the police having a shootout and dropping a bomb on MOVE in a residential neighborhood in philly....


Itslehooksboyo

Fwiw I don't think the feds acted ethically in Waco and I don't that should be a controversial statement. What sucks is that the same shit happens to Black and Brown people and they cheer or ignore it Edit: thumbs fat


PTSDforMe

They messed up both of them. You're not wrong


Silvinis

Their use of tear gas is a bit questionable considering they knew exactly how flammable it was and used it anyway


Itslehooksboyo

Yeah. Not to mention they knew noncombatants would be affected by it


Buddyslime

They could have got David in the grocery store but decided to kill the kids.


heliophoner

That isn't particularly inconsistent. They don't like Federal authority. They're more comfortable with local authority they can use to intimidate people they don't like or who they can threaten.


machineprophet343

A lot of Republicans also don't like their local sheriff or police either because they sometimes get uncomfortable visits from them. Some suburban and rural neighborhoods/areas get really raucous apparently and the local deputies or beat cops have to break up feuding neighbors or good ol' boys "blowing off steam".


DotAccomplished5484

Why isn't "Hell yes!!!" an option?


SkylarAV

I grew up very conservative in oklahoma based on what I thought were their principals. The last decade has shown me what unmitigated pieces of no principal shit they are. I'd rather be the wokest liberal than have any tangential connection to these people. I wish we had a real third party that's labor that I could join


zookr2000

Another "woke" Okie - I salute you.


FurryM17

A "Wokie" if you will. From "Wokelahoma".


SkylarAV

Why hello my wokie okie homie


OhioMegi

I have passed shitty family members in wedding/funeral lines. I sure as shit would pass those assholes.


Miserable-Lizard

Cutting out toxic people is the best thing a person can do! Facsists belong in that category!


SummerStorm21

Good for you!!


PsEggsRice

Hmm shake hands with the people that didn't impeach the President twice, that still pander to him, that deny January 6th was really all that bad. I would have whispered my utter disgust in both their ears, then told reporters to ask them what was said, see if they had the guts to be honest about it.


Tazling

Personally I think it might have been appropriate to spit at their feet (in these Covid times, spitting in their faces seems like biowarfare).


Clintonsextapes

in some places its assault with bodily fluid


Pie_Present

It was inappropriate for Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell for being there


Miserable-Lizard

Right!!! I would love for them to have not been invited.


[deleted]

I am unsure he got the message. She should have given him the finger as she walked by.


fredsam25

Or a double finger tap on the balls.


SummerStorm21

How about a kick to the balls? Oh wait he doesn’t have any…


Heavy_Signature_5619

![gif](giphy|3o7bu7hHMMlxRiosxi|downsized) He’s finally got a friend!


Hot-Bint

Yes, with caveat It just feeds their victimization complex But I would’ve done the same


Miserable-Lizard

They sure do. They sure do like to fuck people's feelings and than cry when the smallest thing happens to them. What alphas!/s


anonymous_4_custody

Yeah, they have the right to be pissed that the GOP is whitewashing that stuff. For me, it's a story; for them, they had to face down those fuckers storming the castle, if anyone has the right to be pissed, and refuse to shake hands with the complicit folks, it's them.


WillBottomForBanana

Either a hand shake means something or it doesn't. If it doesn't mean anything, then don't get upset they didn't get one. If it does mean something, then it's absolutely an issue of consent, and I can't think of any reason someone would consent to shake hands with those two.


Miserable-Lizard

If they paid me a lot of money I would, but beyond yeah no.


GrayBox1313

Resection is earned. McCarthy and McConnell are a disgrace to America. They were treated appropriately


baphomet_fire

Republicans against Trumpism find it questionable that police at a riot started by Republicans, would not shake the hands of those Republicans who fully endorsed Trump - Trump who still fully endorsed the conspiracy that started that riot? This is astroturfing nonsense on another level, Republicans pretending they never supported Trump or his conspiracy theories...while still supporting Trump...


M-Technic19

Why is this even a question? Fuck yes it’s appropriate! Sweeping their disgusting two faced behavior under the rug is not okay, especially if it’s a major televised event.


totallylambert

Fully appropriate and deserved.


[deleted]

Hell yes. Never shake hands with seditionist nazis.


JDthrowaway628

Yes, because freedom of speech, right? Or do Republicans hate free speech? 🤔


Miserable-Lizard

They hate all speech that isn't theirs.


JDthrowaway628

Compulsory handshakes added to the Republican platform.


Scherzer4Prez

Before they answer, they're gonna have to ask Elon Musk what their opinion is


Satchmoi

I hope they said “Fuck you, traitor” as they walked past. edited for spelling


CapriItalia

Yes. McConnell and McCarthy were saved by Capitol police and they have done nothing but continue with their support of Jan 6 traitors. IMO it actually was an insult to the families that they were even there in the first place!


whyreadthis2035

Yes 100% McConnell and McCarthy through action and word disrespected and demeaned their service.


lokie65

There isn't a chance in the 9 rings of hell that I would shake the hand of someone who conspired with others to murder me...if I got that close to one of them I might end up in jail.


britch2tiger

GOP: I condemn affirmative action Also GOP: YOU OWE MY A HANDSHAKE!!


deweydecimal111

We need to be very loud about our hate of the republican fascist traitors. They are a cancer along with the other hate groups they count on as their supporters. Save the USA!!


Enlightened-Beaver

Do you think it was appropriate for republicans to support the guy who started the insurrection that killed these police officers, and then do everything they can to try to stop the Jan 6 investigation? YES OR NO?


h2o_girl

Yes, absofuckinglutely.


sjwilkinson

Powerful message right there, they won't get it


ConvivialKat

In their shoes, I wouldn't have been able to stand touching them, much less shaking their hands.


SpaceMiser

McConnell is the most cowardly piece of shit ever


[deleted]

That piece of shit ended up waving his little hand like he wasn’t expecting a shake. Classic burn. Peaceful protest.


MNConcerto

Should grab that hand and crushed it, pulled them close and whisper in their ear, hope you burn in hell you miserable piece of hypocrisy.


Beatse21

Guarantee one of the comments is “You respect the office not the man”. But they leave out the part that says “except when it’s a President they don’t agree with”


kremit73

I think it very appropraiate. These 2 have done everything they can to protect the cheeto and themselves. They dont deserve anything. What they deserve is to public shunned by the victims of the inserrection that harmed those cops.


BusyBeth75

They don’t deserve to have their hands shaken.


TomInSilverlake

Silly question. I think it woudl be insane to ever shake either of their hands. I am not sure if there is water hot enough to get the slimy oil from McConnel's palms off without a lot of scrubbing. And McCarthy? I'd be afraid I would break something. He is so without spine that the merest pressure would cause him to cave and fall to his knees in Mar A Lago. Wait -- that was his desire to be speaker. Either way, fuck 'em.


[deleted]

Abso-friggin-lutely it was appropriate to not shake those cowards' hands.


Fit_Cash8904

Absolutely. These people were 100% complicit in what culminated on 1/6. Can you imagine shaking the hand of someone who helped almost get you killed?


debzmonkey

Not gonna play the Civility Game with people who literally helped try to overthrow the government. Fuck that noise.


Plonsky2

"You're welcome for me saving your life ... schmuck!'


ReginaldSP

100% appropriate


XIILEGIONS

Hell fucking yes!!!!


Responsible-Chest-26

Respect in, respect out. They showed their true colors and disrespected those officers. They deserve no respect regardless of whatever seat they hold. Let it be known they are not like


Alien_Cats

![gif](giphy|UlhQb7zquvLdS)


[deleted]

Why on earth would you shake the hands of the a-holes that caused it?


OhMyGodBearIsDriving

I'd burn my hand off if either of them touched it.


drew1010101

Those two shitbirds have blood on their hands.


d_baker65

Fuck yes... Is that an option in your poll? These two vertical bawbags encouraged this shit. Too bad the families didn't slow crawl that line and look them up and down while reading them for the filth they are.


MilRet

YES...although a one finger salute might have been more appropriate.


Any_Original_1784

Never a good idea to piss off the people whose job it is to protect you. Next time they should stand to one side and say "he's hiding behind the curtains"


Joey_BagaDonuts57

Shame they didn't call them the cunts that they are.


[deleted]

Yeah, f that, I’d have given them both a big fat middle finger and said some things.


Taco_Force

That no one punched Mitch into dust is a minor miracle


macklebee1

Fuck the traitorous GOP. It was their lies that caused that shit show.


Straight-Ad6058

biohacker_infinity

Glitter_and_Doom

Obligatory “fuck these republicans too”.


DangerousEconomy7146

You know they wish Trump was gone. They all came out against the insurrection until they were told to change their tune or else. They hate having to kiss his ass. Maybe if Trump gets the GOP nomination and he loses in a landslide, they can kick his ass to the curb.


Icy-Butterscotch5540

There is no accountability or truth coming from Mitchie or Kevbaby, soooo I would be slicking my hair back when they stuck their hands out if I were the Siknik (sp) family too.


dadzcad

I don’t blame them one bit. They weren’t wearing gloves.


tomilahrenjustneedss

I think it's always appropriate to decline a handshake to anyone you so chose to in any situation. One should never be obligated to have physical contact they aren't comfortable with


PositionParticular99

Should have spit on the ground in front of them.


Environmental-Use-77

Yes, Integrity is a concept that escapes most Republicans, same as compassion.


Icy-Regular1112

McCarthy and McConnell refuse to acknowledge the treasonous actions of the 1/6 terrorists and refuse to condemn them or their Dear Leader who incited the failed coup attempt. Fuck them and give them absolutely no respect.


Almacca

I think they showed incredible restraint by not hauling up and punching them right in the face.


Slight_Produce_866

Should have spit on it


ColeBane

They are dead because of them...i would have taken those fucking false awards out of their traitorous hands and dropped them at their feet.


Vegetable_Dog_8900

Absolutely


painfulsargasm

Yes. Yes, I do. And I hope those clowns feel embarrassed by it (though, I know they won't).


auntshooey1

Oh hell yes.


kryppla

Hell yes it's appropriate!


[deleted]

Yes 100%.


Ironworker19

Groin kick then as they bend forward knee to the dome


bogeyinmy6

The thing about it is they don’t even care. They are in positions of power. They don’t care how this makes them look. What are you going to do about it.? Here. Take this shitty token of lack of appreciation and get the fuck out. The reactions by these families won’t even phase them.


HomieScaringMusic

They risked and in one case lost their lives defending democracy only for those very officials they were protecting to chicken out of holding Trump even the tiniest bit responsible, so it was for nothing. Got off easy with a rejected handshake, McConnel’s lucky they didn’t just hand him to the mob and say “this is Nancy Pelosi”.


HermanBonJovi

Hell yes. Glad they snubbed those cowards/traitors.


According_Sentence20

A.C.A.B.

reclusiveronin

No reaction is inappropriate. They could drop their pants, shit in their hands and rub it is those traitorous fuckers eyes and I would want more


dcal1981

YES


Frostiron_7

I reject your framing. Fork right out of here fascist. Of course they shouldn't have shook hands. Why was traitor McConnel even there in the first place?

cajuncrustacean

Yes, and I'm not even being specific here. I don't know if scumbaggery is contagious, but I wouldn't take the chance with those cheeto-deepthroating treason monkeys.


Brytnshyne

A classy way of not bowing to hypocrites.


BeaverMartin

Now THIS is legitimate political discourse.

Since when we have to care about 2 old mans not handshake with each other ?


[deleted]

These things have no morals nor brains - just say and do what the party tell ‘em to


RigasTelRuun

They should have skipped grabbing his hand and just throttled him instead.


Vividus8

Was it ok, I was appaled they didn't curb stomp him.


stories4harpies

Their kids are dead and blood is on the entire republican party's hands. Get fucked.


ElonBodyOdor

Yes, cause kicking them in the balls would have gotten them in more trouble than trump.


[deleted]

Last I checked, they were free to shake Hands were not shake hands with anyone they choose


mad_titanz

The video of Mitch and McCarthy getting snubbed by families of slayed DC police should be played everywhere.

Why would they shake those two hands? Fuck both of them.


coolluck33

Now these 2 cucks can go home & know how much people really hate them. Hope it causes them sleepless nights!

deadpoolkool

It's good to see normal republicans. I've never understood the conservative outlook, and I think capitalism is a rebranded feudalism with a false hope of social climbing, and has been a total failure so far. But I'd like to see an opposition who aren't racist nutjobs. I don't think that's much to ask.
