politics

Sounds kind of like when my maternal grandma had a series of micro strokes for a few months before having the Big One.

Time to retire, Mitch. For both our sakes.

He should step down and fuck off into the sunset, warmly recalling with what little neurological function he may have how he fucked so many Americans. It’s probably best that I not write the rest of what I’m thinking about this piece of shit traitor.

May he receive thoughts and prayers. And no other form of healthcare or support.

The world will become a slightly better place when he finally dies.

After reading all the comments about wanting his life to be over and the counters about feeling bad for him etc. I think ive come to a conclusion on how to ethically handle him.

I'm going to laugh. I'm going to laugh at how foolish he looks having a stroke on stage. How despite all of the terrible things he has done to this country on a socio-economic level trying to line his pockets and stay in power, he is standing up there, feeble and barely coherent, looking like he simultaneously shat himself and forgot his name, I'm going to laugh.

Because if he wants any semblance of dignity, any ounce of respect, he needs to admit that he is done and bow out.

"But he is still human, have some empathy" No, why should I? This man has engineered tearing the country apart so he can put his grubby hands all over it and smear it in his own grease. And he is still trying to keep doing it!

What I see up there is an old man trying to walk across the freeway, with a dozen people telling him not to. And he is not only ignoring them but lifting his nose high and walking out into the road anyway. So when I see that mack truck hit him like it did on that stage, I laugh.

That is hard to watch. I hate his guts and everything he's done and stood for in politics, but it's still rough to watch a man just fade away like that.

He needs to retire and stop clinging desperately to power. The stress of it alone is probably literally killing him.

Edit: Just so we're clear, here, I'm not offering him sympathy. I have none to give for a monster like Mitch McConnell. The man has done enormous damage to the country, and people like him are why I worry about the future for my kids (both LGBTQ+).

I was only trying to express that on a gut level, it's still unpleasant to see someone basically drain away like that.

Americans stop voting old white dudes and ruining the rest of the world please.

That's the look you get on your face when you're standing at the podium and look out to see a skeleton wearing a robe and holding a scythe pointing at you from the back row.

Can't help but enjoy this, given what a despicable human being he is.

Put these fucking geriatrics out to pasture already. That includes Feinstein as well. Shameful that this dude is being paraded around in front of media when he's barely coherent. It's shit like this that makes it very evident how long the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers have clung desperately onto power long past the age that they should have handed over the reins to the people who will actually have to live with the consequences of their decisions.

Where are all the Republicans deriding "Sleepy" Joe Biden? What are your thoughts on Mitch McConnell the stroke victim? Would you vote him back into office again if he or whoever was puppeteering his desiccated corpse decided to run again?

If he weren't such an evil fuck, I'd feel bad for him. But he is an evil fuck, so oh well.

I love how republicans will say Biden is too old and make fun of him while also down playing this BS...

Last comment was deleted, so I guess I'll repost it with edits.

Couldn't happen to a nicer piece of shit.

Lot of folks trying to take the high road here out of compassion.

This guy single-handedly fucked democracy sideways for at least a generation. The reverberations of his Supreme Court shenanigans are going to be responsible for the deaths of thousands.

I hope he spends the rest of his days confused and shitting himself.

Could anything be more symbolic of America's political situation right now?

It says something that he's still the minority leader. Feinstein has similar issues and is still around, but she's just a random senator. This is the Republican senate leader.

I imagine many knives are being sharpened behind the scenes. I wonder if he's actively keeping himself in power, or if other people with power are "managing" (puppeting) him until they can grab power for themselves.

Mandatory retirement age for political office when?

This man's having seizures or strokes live on camera and no one's doing anything about this.

Everyone in elected office over the age of 65 should be forced to retire. At best, they've done their duty and deserve to rest and enjoy the fruits of their labor. At worst, they're nonfunctional skeletons that don't even have skin in the game when it comes to government.

The reaper must have been in the crowd again. You can't run from the reaper, mcturtle.

Everyone should watch the video. McConnell needs to retire.

I see a lot of hate towards him and it looks like he deserves it. But why is he still in the Senate? Do people vote for him?

I'm not an American, just trying to understand how it works.

feel that Mitch? that's the Devil's hands on your ass, boy.. oh yes it is..

Who had two simultaneous weekend at Bernie's situations in the US senate on their Bingo card?
