This week's idiot is none other than the leader of the Senate, who has colluded with the White House to acquit the president (NOT exonerate) of impeachable offenses, but has also managed to BLOCK almost 400 bills (see some examples below) passed by the House to HELP AMERICANS.
An example of the Bills the Democrats passed that Mitch McConnell (R-KY) of the Senate is Blocking: Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions, Lowering Prescription Drugs, Wages Act, Background Check extensions, Extending Flood Insurance, Veterans’ Access to Child Care Act, Child abuse Prevention and Treatment act and MORE!

And this week's idiot also rewarded the Chief Justice for his part in the Acquittal. Appalling behavior. Americans deserve better. Here are the reasons:
Chief Justice John Roberts' demanding side job of presiding over the Senate impeachment trial ended Wednesday with the acquittal of President Donald Trump and the presentation of a "golden gavel" from GOP leader Mitch McConnell for his efforts.
