Don’t party, he’s still alive, and an absolute disgrace to turtles.
Aww.... welp keeping the champagne on standby.
He is one of the most responsible people for where American politics are today.
Absolutely no conscience and no morals, he is as close to pure evil a politician can get. He was among the main people that created the circumstances that allowed Trump to become president of USA.
You know, dying in office used to be notable and fairly uncommon. Mostly assassinations, plane accidents, etc.
But now our government is more of a hospice than anything else.
Please be dead please please please

He died as he lived. Holding up Senate business for his own personal bullshit reasons.
Mitch, god is telling you to retire. Listen to her.
How could they tell?
At what point is it elder abuse to let him keep trying to work as a senator?
Ask Dianne Feinstein. Staffers were dragging her hand to the vote-clicker by the end, because she could barely move herself.
Kinda hard to ask her at this point.
Break out the ouija board and find her restless ghost. I refuse to believe that bitch ain't haunting something.
If I found him I'd have left him
We need term limits for Congress.
I think Congress needs age limits more than term limits.

You're lucky it's limited to alive people only. I wouldn't be surprised if Supreme Court got rid this limit as well.
You mean like corporations are people and they can run for congress also? New nightmare unlocked.
Why couldn't this have happened like, 20 years ago

They are going to Bernie him until they can be sure they'd get another republican just as malicious as he was.
He's a horrible person who deserves no peace and no dignity.
At his funeral, throw a fire extinguisher in his grave. Where he is going, he will need it.
Don't waste a perfectly good fire extinguisher on that slug. Give him an empty one with a hole in the side, because that's about as much as he gave the citizens on the country.
Set the dancing crabs on high alert.
If McConnell dies, then the governor will choose his replacement, and the governor is a Democrat. Unless he wants to completely END his political career, he will choose a Democrat.
The Senate Republicans won't want that, so it's a pretty good bet that when McConnell dies, they will keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Don't forget what a piece of shit this guy has been his whole adult life.

Thoughts and prayers
We've reached peak Republican when we have to demand proof of life from the hospital for a GOP senator from a state with a Dem governor.
I predict Mitch showing up to the next senate vote wearing this

Republicans would still vote for that over a Democrat
ah a wooden overcoat, excellent choice
He dead and the governor of Kentucky, who appoints his replacement, is a Democrat.
Kentucky is no longer among the states that allow the governor to select a replacement US Senator for a vacant seat. McConnell himself got the KY state legislature to require a special election for his seat a couple years ago. Beshear will have no say in his replacement.
June 14th? And we only hear of this 2 weeks later?!?
What about the Kennedy Center?
What about those Trump-Epstein Files?
I hope when he regains consciousness, it's in one of those Hellraiser scenarios where he's stuck in an eternal loop of... torment. I guess that seems like what just hell would be as well?
Either way. As long as he suffers, forever, in the knowledge it's all his own fault because he's such a piece of shit.
