“I have never wished anyone dead, but I have read some obituaries with great relish.”

Shit, he's doing better.

83? I'd have sworn it's been 803 years of misery and suffering due to him.

"It sure is, Tiny Elvis!"

Image shows a scene from the "Tiny Elvis" skit on Saturday Night Live where the characters are lounging in a room. Tiny Elvis is at the center, looking at objects and calling them huge.

I'd like to remind everyone here that, while he was laying the groundwork for the current political climate of the U.S., he had 3 daughters and two wives. He's old enough that the upper part of his left leg is paralyzed due to polio.

We are seeing a resurgence of measles, thanks to men like this — who got to live full lives while fucking us all over. Who knows, maybe we'll see one for polio!

Cheer for his death if you must, he has already won.

This vile ghoul ushered in the death of America by breaking key covenants in governance, and while he's vaguely expressed some sort of remorse since over the years, there will be no forgiveness or peace for him on his deathbed. He will only be hailed by a cabal of grinning sycophants encircling his frail shell, chanting "you made this all possible" as they lean in to devour his rotting carcass. Thanks for nothing, Mitch.

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Fuck this guy. Fuck everything he's ever done. I hope he rests in piss. Representative of one of the most impoverished states in America, married to a billionaire, shit his pants before Trump made it cool.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

Why is he still clinging to the vestiges of his power and not resting at home? These people are fucking pathological.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

In most states, if a Senator leaves office for any reason, the state's governor would be empowered to appoint a replacement until a special election can be held. Kentucky, however, has two powerful Republican Senators, and a Democratic Governor. So after some back and forth, the legislature passed a bill (over the Governor's veto) that said the Governor could not appoint anyone, but could only schedule the special election, letting the seat remain vacant.

However, it is possible the governor might ignore the law and appoint someone anyway, and let the Senate deal with accepting the appointment.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

You could ask Dianne Feinstein the same question. God only knows what keeps Chuck Grassley ticking.

These people are fucking pathological.

Elderly people are stubborn as old nails. They don't just move out of the way on their own.

The better question is what's keeping them affixed to their positions. Enormous amounts of money go to defending incumbents with full on dementia. And party loyalists consider their aging leadership sacrosanct.

On top of all that, Senators get the best health care benefits in the world. Keeping your job is - in some ways - a predicate for your very survival.

No one did as much as Turtle McTraitor did to make the United States a fascist nation.

This motherfucker ushered in Trump and his fascist regime. May he rest in piss.

[-] dancroissant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The US is now literally run by a gang of pedophiles and child traffickers. Thanks mitch.

[-] dancroissant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Ideally they can keep his heart pumping juuuuuust enough so he continues to miss floor votes but won't get replaced by someone that can has mobility.

[-] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Suffer, you degenerate piece of shit.

Feel every second of pain and agony that you deserve.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago

I would feel bad for the cancer that got Mitch Mcconnell

As someone who isn't even from or in the US: may he soon rest in piss, the absolute cunt.

Dick Cheney lived 10 years without a heart. I am not celebrating just yet.

“He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”

Just fucking retire, you despicable old cunt.

McConnell, the Senate’s third-oldest member,

WHAT?!? There's 2 senators older than him.

He plans to retire from Congress when his current term concludes in January 2027.

He wont live that long

When asked if he had any health issues people should know about, he replied, “Of course not,”

Hehe that's funny

"flulike symptoms"

Moscow Mitch is fully vaccinated, while supporting policies that will make it impossible for most Americans to get an up-to-date vaccine.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Reminds me of Covid, when the fully-vaccinated redcaps were going on and on about the "dangers" of the jab

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

H5N1 is going to burn through North America, and we in the states will be fish in a barrel. No new vaccines are being developed, and the existing ones aren't being updated.

What I don’t understand is why people keep voting for him!?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 1 day ago

The same reason why people keep voting doe Raphael Cruz. Cause they have R beside their name.

It's generational voting. The kind of "My daddy voted Republican so I do too!" bullshit mixed with propaganda, mixed with racism, with a hint of just being downright stupid on top.

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

Gerrymandered state and ignorant populace.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Um Ackshually, gerrymandering has nothing to do with this one. As a Senator, he represents his entire state, and the borders of his "district" don't change.

However, "ignorant populace" may be spot on.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
