Cocaine Mitch Cracks Joke From Senate Floor

Senate Majority Leader “Cocaine Mitch” drew laughter from the Senate floor Friday.

Mitch McConnell took the Senate Floor with a proposal that includes all of the six previous agreements.

The vote passed 48-47 in the Senate.

Earlier Friday McConnell rejected using the nuclear option to pass the bill with 51 votes because he didn’t have enough support to change the Senate rule which currently requires 60 votes.

VP Mike Pence, Jared Kushner and Mick Mulvaney met with both House and Senate leaders Friday to negotiate a solution to avoid a looming Saturday government shutdown.

FOX News’ Chad Pergram reported that lawmakers put together six or seven appropriations bill with a little more border wall funding.

These bills would be full funding for the entire year, not stopgaps.

McConnell, in his monotone voice read aloud how many times the spending bill has bounced back and forth from the House to the Senate drawing laughter from the gallery.

“I move to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the House amendment to the Senate amendment to HR 695,” McConnell said.

Mitch McConnell was dubbed “Cocaine Mitch” by former US Senate candidate Don Blankenship.

Blankenship attacked McConnell in a series of campaign ads in reference to enormous amounts of cocaine found aboard cargo ships owned by McConnell’s father-in-law.

McConnell responded to the attacks in May of this year with some humor.

The Senate Majority Leader’s team trolled Blankenship by tweeting a photoshopped picture of McConnell from the Netflix show “Narcos.”

George Soros and international networks behind violent protests in Hungary – Prime Minister

No one can be allowed to engage in violence, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview to public broadcaster Kossuth Radio on Friday, referring to the recent anti-government demonstrations.

The prime minister said a clear line must be drawn between the expression of one’s political views and vandalism.

The most aggressive and most active of those protesting the recent amendment to the labour code are on the payroll of US financier George Soros, Orban said.

Yellow vest protests spread to seventh country in ‘revolutionary Europe’

Yellow Vests have now spread to Portugal! A few hundred “yellow vest” protesters took to the streets throughout Portugal on Friday in an attempt to stop traffic, inspired by the French revolutionary “gilets jaunes”.

There were roughly 100 protesters crossing with police at a central square in Lisbon with other access roads blocked in the northern city of Braga earlier.

One protester, Joao Viana, 50, tells why she is protesting:

“The reason why I joined this protest today is because this really is the voice of the people.

“The movement is not aligned to any political party and we simply want to tell the government that we are tired of corruption, we are tired of taxes, we are tired of paying to sustain the political class.”

Portugal does not have a history of protesting like the French, who inspired the Yellow Vests movement, however the socialist government did put 20,000 police on alert.

There were no significant delays or interruptions in traffic at any of the targets in Lisbon.

The movement in France has transformed from a tax protest to a much wider protest against the economic reforms of the embattled French President Emmanuel Macron and his elitist government.

Emmanuel’s approval rating as beleaguered as the President, himself, diving to a record low of 18 per cent.

Inspired by the still revolutionary French, the Yellow Vest movement is empowering the working-class against their elitist governments in now seven countries.

The yellow vests are now protesting in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Britain and now Portugal.
