    Not just McConnell, all those geriatric fucks are too old to be clinging to power.

    I dislike that man so much, but fuck this is cruel. You don’t treat people this way. Even pieces of shit like Mitch. The time to make him pay for being a racist asshole is long gone. He’s not there anymore.

      He’s getting only a fraction of what he deserves for instilling so much pure, concentrated evil upon us all these decades.

      Treat them like what? Pointing out he’s a shitty human being that is putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his own health?

      Nah, the cruelty is on him, his family, and his fascists, not the rest of us for pointing out his a shitty human being for putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his health, that he justly deserves in my opinion, and it’s perfectly valid to voice that opinion.

      I would be inclined to agree, but in this case I’m certain this is absolutely how Mitch would want it to play out if it were between this and not being involved at all.

      I think their staff has a huge role to play in all of this. All those people know they will lose their job when he leaves so they are all holding him up and keeping him there. It’s actually kind of sad that we treat the elderly this way. Even if I don’t like the guy I feel like becoming an actual puppet while you are actively dying is so cruel. He should be in a bed somewhere

    This was already happening…

    I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.

    They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn’t even attempt to explain what was happening.

    There’s an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.

          Ya, but that’s not happening to him, it’s happening to someone who is probably no longer him and is just a frightened old man like any other. I wish bad things upon the past Mitch who was aware and doing terrible shit, but this isn’t him anymore.

          It’s important to remember that an outlet for rage rarely aligns with our usual morals.

          So instead, let’s fight elder abuse while ensuring future generations understand that this man was a fucking nazi who brought nothing but shame to the nation and state he swore to serve, while enriching himself.
