This is like the Rorschach Test of political affiliation. That's Mitch McConnell going "bitch I installed three supreme court justices, over a hundred lower court justices and prevented the Obama administration from accomplishing a single fucking thing for four years."

If you accept the fundamental basis that a conservative judicial revolution is the end goal, then Mitch McConnell is the Lebron James of Republican Senators and here's some wannabe fighter pilot saying "you can't dunk."

And I get all of that, absolutely, but the tw33t3r video was probably the most dead-eyed, mechanical smile and monotone laugh that I've ever seen/heard in my life.

Probably all politicians are some degree of sociopath. Sorry, that's just the way the world works. But this was like watching a remarkably out-of-practice sociopath, a person in a position of power beyond reproach who has abandoned their ability to even sympathize, much less empathize.
