Ah man that sucks. For the ground that he fell on. I hope the evil can be scrubbed off it.

I wish Mitch McConnell a speedy another stroke.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

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.

Yikes. Might be time to retire.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

They'll give him the Weekend at Bernie's treatment if they can get away with it...

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

I think they're getting away with it right now.

Average lifespan of a tortoise: 80-150 years

Mitch McConnell's age: 81

🤔🤔🤔

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

Better roll him over on his back then.

Don't you think he looks tired?

[-] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Incumbency, ah yes, the low hanging fruit of retaining party control.

At least Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, acknowledged her mistakes and did her best to help humanity in the end.

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.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

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.

Looking forward to this guy fucking right on off.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago

Sincerely? I don't want to hear another word about him until he doesn't get back up. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

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

Am I the only 1 that could hear the slurred words in his speech for a good couple of years ? Surely someone with health issues where it impacts the brain such as strokes shouldnt be anywhere near any sort of power.

Why couldn't one of those times be out of a plane, mid-flight? It's just not fair.
