Not an ounce of sympathy. He’s an awful human and has done immeasurable harm.
Can’t believe our taxes are going to this dude just to keep him alive. Term limits should absolutely be a thing.
oh i don’t have an ounce of sympathy for the man, but it’s also very disappointing in the state of humanity to see how many people are making fun of him, given the fact that many of those same folks were upset at the reactions the right had about fetterman.
like, no sympathy is required, but if the community could maybe not stoop down to the level of the people we say we can’t stand, that’d be great
not that you did that, but it’s definitely a trend i’m seeing
The man actively benefits from the suffering of others. Fuck that guy. Malfunctioning Mitch could tumble down the steps of the DC metro, and I’d make the footage my fucking screensaver.
Nah, fuck that dude, he doesn’t deserve anyone’s sympathy. As for “the state of humanity”, people have always made fun of each other, so not sure what you’re getting at there.

I honestly think he’s arguing in good faith tbh, but that doesn’t make his points any stronger.
Well Mitch is an evil person and Wayne isn’t. So your attempt to bothside this is laughable.

Fetterman wasn’t dying. He had something treatable and returned to congress once his treatment was complete as competent as ever.
This is a death rattle. He’s not coming back from this.
If you want to make a comparison to the Democrats, the comparison is Feinstein. And that’s just as egregious. Both of them need to be out of congress now.
Unfortunately Fetterman isn’t really a good comparison. Fetterman hasn’t caused near as much devastating harm to as many people as McConnell has. Please find someone on the left that has hurt as many people in as many ways as Mitch…
No, I am not going to wait…
it doesn’t have to be an equal comparison, the point that matters is this:
if you hated the assholes that were being assholes during fetterman, don’t be an asshole now, even if the person you’re being an asshole to isn’t worth pissing on to put out if they were on fire.
have some class
He’s also had plenty of opportunity to retire. In any other field someone his age would have retired long ago. But it’s been his choice to run again in every election and keep his iron death grip on the country, knowingly doing as much harm as he personally can to the political process and to the American people. (And yes, fuck the people who keep voting for him, but I also don’t think it’s quite that simple.)
So yeah, it sucks to wish harm on people in general. But there’s a million caveats to that when it’s a truly evil person, and when he’s had every chance to retire. I mean, isn’t that conservatives’ whole thing, “personal responsibility”? It’s been his choice to keep doing what he’s doing until he becomes physically or mentally incapable. After watching Feinstein continue to make decisions that affect the US when she doesn’t even know her own name, of course people can’t wait to see McConnell gtfo, no matter how it happens.
Ah man that sucks. For the ground that he fell on. I hope the evil can be scrubbed off it.
No way. That eldritch black ooze gets into things and STICKS
I hear thats what got Tasha Yar.
What an absolutely banger of a TNG reference my friend!
His evil will take decades to scrub away.
I wish Mitch McConnell a speedy another stroke.
If it was a TIA they’ll probably put him on eliquis. Few months of that and his blood will be so thin, the next time he falls he’ll bleed out from a subdural or a hip fracture. Can’t wait.
Wonder if that’s why his hands were so bruised a while back?
All old people get like that once you hit your 70s.
My mom degloved her hand a few weeks back when reaching into a kitchen drawer on the wood. And she didn’t even feel it.
Yikes. Might be time to retire.
I think the only way he’ll retire is in a coffin or if he gets confined to a hospital, otherwise they’ll keep him going somehow.
They’ll give him the Weekend at Bernie’s treatment if they can get away with it…
I think they’re getting away with it right now.
Your terms are acceptable!
He isn’t turtley enough for the turtle club
Duuuuuude.
Over his dead body.
Your terms are acceptable.
Stop, I can only get so erect
i doubt they would let him
@sci Why not? The establishment can replace him in a heartbeat and Kentuckians will vote for whomever is picked for them.
Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen
and he would rather die
Oh god, we can only hope.
Perversely, KY legislature passed a law specifically requiring the Governor to appoint a replacement from the same party. It was vetoed, and veto was overturned. No dem replacement despite Beshear in the governor’s seat
Republicans change the rules if they ever see that they’ll hurt them in the future.
Funny how it’s called KY when its politicians fuck us without lube.
Straight up fascism.
I guess Kentucky is one of those states where the governor isn’t required to pick someone from the same party? I’d written Kentucky off so long ago that I haven’t been paying attention.
Nope. In Kentucky the Governor must select from a pool of 3 candidates that the GOP gives them.
Average lifespan of a tortoise: 80-150 years
Mitch McConnell’s age: 81
🤔🤔🤔
Better roll him over on his back then.
He’s trying to, himself
Don’t you think he looks tired?
He’s got the gaunt face of a man who’s withering away. My grandpa, a much better man than McConnell, looked like that for the last few months of his life, despite spending the majority of his life with a slightly pudgy face. It is truly ghoulish the way they parade politicians like McConnell and Feinstein around as if they still have all their wits, when really they should have retired years ago. Hell, half the senate should have retired over a decade ago, but both parties value incumbency too much
Incumbency, ah yes, the low hanging fruit of retaining party control.
My boomer parents are adamant that feinstein is still “young.” They don’t want to admit to their own mortality (they are in their 70s). I believe that’s what is driving a lot of this bullshit.
Americans don’t believe they will ever die.
At least Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, acknowledged her mistakes and did her best to help humanity in the end.
I understood that reference.
Ooooh, the six words to topple a tyrant.
If only that actually worked…
I for one hope he is healthy enough to live the rest of his life in pain over years, and forced to step down and lose his power. This man has inflicted terrible damage to this country and its citizens. This is a man who put corporations and profit over anything and has sold our democracy to the highest bidder while empowering radical religious fanatics and fascists.
He’s partly responsible for so much pain, suffering, and excess deaths in this nation via his support for gun lobbies and removing healthcare rights of Americans, for his support of Trump, and the excess deaths resulting from his administration.
I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.
Zero chance this decrepit human garbage will ever step down. I hope I can be proven wrong but I’d rather just see him stroke out and it be the end. Retribution won’t undo what he’s done. Putting him in the dirt will be the only chance to invite that opportunity.
I mean if we just poke him he may very well just topple on over
You’re probably right, but one can hope
Ribbit
YOU get a ban! And YOU get a ban! EVERYONE gets a ban for wishing nature to take its inevitable due course! Muwahahahaha! Power Trump Mod powers - activate!
One thing I will give the mods of Worldnews credit for. Right when Ukraine invasion started a whole mess of accounts with odd history (3 karma, 2 comments, 8 years old) started posting Kremlin propaganda. Every single one I reported was knocked off.
Seriously. Lemmy is the Wild West and I love it for that.
Okay so if its the wild west ive got questions, namely whos gonna get ripped apart by coyottes?
If you look around the room and can’t tell who’s gonna get ripped apart by coyotes, it’s gonna be you.
Sincerely? I don’t want to hear another word about him until he doesn’t get back up. 🤷🏼♂️
Too many people in Congress that falls under the “Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” crowd. That’s not the foundation of a healthy democracy.
Life Alert should sponsor these geriatrics. Or maybe Mitch could shill reverse mortgages.

Looking forward to this guy fucking right on off.
His ghoulish flesh-suit is finally starting to sluff off. Soon he will be without his precious goo and will melt away into a sewer drain
I really lol’ed at this. Mitch melting away like smeagol, with his hand in the air trying to keep his goo around him to survive.
Ugh, I did not need that mental image at 7 in the morning X_x;;;
I think you did
No I did not. Lies. Ick. Eww. I don’t want to imagine Bitch Mitch in any respect
I dunno picturing him disappearing from the earth is a pretty nice image in my head
…Fair. But still
Gotta pump those numbers up.
Rookie numbers honestly.
