McConnell expedited the Senate's consideration of the PROMESA bill. He ensured that the establishment of a strong Financial Control Board and a minimum wage drop of $4.25 passed swiftly, almost without discussion or revision.
Thus, it is ironic that Mitch McConnell has been connected to the sale and distribution of ninety pounds of cocaine.
A ship was stopped before it could depart from Colombia.
The Colombian Coast Guard found ninety pounds of cocaine in forty well-organized packets during the search.
The ship is called Ping May, and it is one of sixteen that Foremost Maritime Corporation (FMC) operates.
The Chao family, Mitch McConnell's in-laws, are the owners of FMC.
However, the Chaos are not just a family; they also generously support McConnell's political endeavors with large donations.
Senator Mitch McConnell has been funded by the Chao family for about 30 years, starting in the late 1980s. Following McConnell's 1993 marriage to Elaine Chao, the Chao family showered him with copious presents.
McConnell is a purported "anti-drug warrior," which is shocking. The "Enhanced Marijuana Penalties Act" of 1996, which he sponsored, increased the required minimum sentence for anyone found in possession of marijuana. He is also adamantly against marijuana being legalized in any way.
Put another way, McConnell's family has been using the proceeds from their cocaine business to fund his Senate campaigns, allowing him to travel to Washington and lead the "war on drugs."
I was just wondering if I was remembering that correctly. Cocaine Mitch! His wife owned the boat. How convenient! We must never let this stuff be forgotten!
His support of enhanced penalties seems to me to be a way to eliminate the competition or at mimimum keep them in check. They dont call him Cocaine Mitch for nothing.

When is everyone going to wake up? You see it in Hollywood, News Media, High Tech and Government at all levels... Your ticket up the ladder is based on how corrupt you want to be. Nobody, arrives at the top unless they are picked, placed, pickled and cooked... in pure swamp water. Drenched to the bone. From a place where even the word "whistle" is akin to a death sentence.
Mitch just mastered the system that was in place... that allows this and 100s of other nefarious businesses. That financial support system hits people (in it) hard when it is dismantled. Good by to the gravy train. This reason alone, is enough to fight to the death to keep Trump out.
I think we are living in some dangerous times friends.
It seems like Wyatt is dredging up old dirt on MM (or his in-laws) for some reason. Not sure just what his reason for doing so is as MM is not running for another term as far as I recall.

From what I can tell, the cocaine incident happened ten years ago, back in 2014. Here's one write-up about it from 2016 --
The PROMESA $4.25 wage issue appears to be from 2016. It allowed employers to pay new employees who were under 25-years-old $4.25 hourly for up to ninety days from date of hire. This was touted as a stimulus of sorts, with the $4.25 minimum wage for up to ninety days for new workers under 25 being a temporary measure put in place for up to four years. I'm not at all familiar with the circumstances in Puerto Rico at that time that may have prompted this bill, economic or otherwise.
He’s been a sellout for America most of his career just like most of Washington. Audit elected officials. Hold them accountable.
Mitch McConnell is a lifelong Democrat and an outspoken Communist

Good question.

Cocaine Mitch was a name running around for a minute
Isn't there supposed to be asset forfeiture, and the only way to get a hearing is to put up a bond for the value of the property?🤣😂
And that’s why he should never have invited Hunter Biden to his boat party.
Uh …oh…ummm…that was there when I bought the boat…
Same as the coke in the WH…was there when we had the door unlocked for us…
