Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, who froze during a news conference Wednesday and earlier this year suffered a concussion after falling down, has also endured two other falls this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I picked up my grandma probably 20 times in the last year.
The worst times are when he falls in the shower and he's naked and I have to pick him up bc he can't get up himself and my grandma is unable to pick him up
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.
Mitch is a piece of shit, who has done irreparable harm to America and shares a significant amount of the blame for why the country and its government is in such a horrible place right now.
BUT I don’t wish him harm, at all. I hope he’s okay, seriously. He needs to retire. Now. And live out the rest of his life in private.
I feel like wishing Mitch harm is the same as wishing the Earth well. Dude is a cancer, I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping he loses the ability to inflict harm on others asap, and the only way he'll stop is when he's incapacitated or in the ground.
The whole notion of not wishing death or harm to people in general makes sense... but to evil people? in power? who use that power to inflict suffering upon millions? Naw that's a problem that doesn't deserve tolerance.
I think there are human that you can wish harm upon since it would be good for humanity in general. And why should be enjoy life in private, after he destroyed so many others?
I wish him plenty of harm, he doesn't deserve to live life in peace. He deserves to live it the way he wants women and minorities to live. It's okay to wish harm on people, it's not like you're trying to cause that harm yourself
