This will forever be my favorite picture of mitch mcconnell:
Fuck Mitch and fuck Kentucky for enabling him so many years
I voted against the sumbitch for over thirty five years. I tried!
I know he’s a turtley butch.
he’s also the one that kept a supreme court seat unfilled for nearly the entire last year of obama’s second term.
then he rammed another confirmation (what would be dipshit’s third) through the senate at the very end of dipshit, episode 1, the lame duck weeks… in complete contradiction to what he did before.
which means, without this stain of humanity leading the senate, the make-up of the supreme court of the united states would be 5-4 the other way. dipshit would have never had a scRotus doing his bidding all this time.
the make-up of the supreme court of the united states would be 5-4 the other way.
One of those five would have been Merrick Garland, though, who wasn’t exactly the bees’ knees as AG. He probably would have ended up as an extreme disappointment as a SC justice. Better than Gorsuch, but not by much.
Additionally… no one currently knows specifically what’s going on with him, he’s been MIA for three weeks now.
His spokespeople keep saying that he’s recovering from a medical incident but no one knows which hospital or in general where he is.
I’ve seen some conspiracy theories that he’s actually dead and they’re hiding it to prevent Kentucky’s Democratic governor from sending a Democrat to Washington to replace him, but that doesn’t even make sense, as Kentucky is one of the few states where the governor doesn’t appoint remainder-of-term Congressional replacements… it’d be a special election instead.
The whole thing is super-weird.
I read that EMS responded to a cardiac arrest at his address. If that’s the case, I’m confident he’ll never leave the hospital.
The Governor vetoed that bill, saying it goes against the State Constitution. So, there is every possibility the Governor might ignore the bill, and appoint someone anyway, and let the courts sort it out.
Although I think it’s more likely that the Governor simply says that it’s too close to November to hold a special election. That seat is up for grabs in that election anyway, there are already candidates and everything. Beshear could just say that is also the special election, and leave the seat vacant for a few months. That would mean whoever wins that election takes the seat right away, so if Democrats pull off an upset it would have an immediate effect.
Yeah it’s a Democratic governor. Ain’t no way they’ve enough spine to appoint someone and let the courts sort it out.
Only mildly weirder than what they did with Dianne Feinstein. These fucking people around them are god damned vultures, doesn’t matter the party. They will keep these people in office well beyond where their faculties are working at any capacity.
The fucking aides, pages, interns, consultants… Just everyone surrounding these elderly people are god damned vampires.
Like I know, fuck Mitch and send him packing to hell, but the breadth of this problem isn’t discussed nearly as much as we discuss elderly in positions of power in general. Donald Trump is far from the first and won’t be the last person in a position of power that they Weekend at Bernie’s the shit out of until the body stinks too badly because it’s become bloated and rotten.
I think he’s waiting for children to eat his food.
What movie is that from? I recognize it from my 8th grade french class, however weird that may be.
Yep Pan’s Labyrinth. They played that for you in 8th grade…in school? That’s pretty awesome. Would not expect that.
Looks like Pan’s Labyrinth.
to me, and by his own estimation, his biggest impact was successfully preventing Obama from making a Supreme Court nomination 8 months before an election, but allowing Trump to make a nomination 2 months before an election, and laughing about it on live national television. the closest I get to being religious is when I hope that Hell exists so that people like him finally get what they deserve
He was completely fine with letting cheetolini run wild right up to the point where he incited an angry mob to storm the capital building. When his own safety was at risk, apparently that was a bridge too far. Mind you, not far enough to actually do anything meaningful about it. Not far enough to use his enormous influence, both in and out of the Senate, to make sure there would be justice. But far enough to feign concern.
The title made me think he was finally confirmed dead.
Still is not was. These evil fuckers are like weeds.
And is a disgusting PoS
I don’t want to know shit about this motherfucker until he’s dead and even then just the fact that he is will be sufficient, unless he dies in some hilariously awful way. Then I’d like to know that too.
This is on the lesser side of terrible things he’s done. Few individuals are as directly responsible for the rise of American fascism as Mitch McConnell.
Yeah you can argue this country was always like this but Mitch lead the GOP to going full mask off for the past 20 years. All because the American people had the audacity to elect a black man as president.
I hope he’s fucking dead or dying and I’ll be celebrating.
Thirst trap af
I seem to remember reading about how he once torpedoed his own bill when he found out the Democrats were going to support it, because he valued denying the Democrats a bipartisan win more than he valued the effects of the bill itself.
I also remember reading about the time he blamed Obama for the unintended consequences of a piece of legislation. Obama had vetoed the initial passage, and Congress re-passed it with a veto-proof majority. But somehow, Obama was at fault because I guess he didn’t warn the Congress-critters hard enough or something.
If true, neither of these would be the worst things he ever did, not even close. But they are emblematic of his desire to score purely partisan wins above most anything else.
I’m not sure why we’d unanimously be all-about authoritative restriction of natural plantlife. Personally, I think education is more important and people should free to make their own decisions. Cigarette and tobacco use is at an all-time low as-is and they’re no less legal now. People are aware.
Yeah, and, disclaimer, before someone digs, I smoke a pipe. Guiiilty, but our side of the tobacco market was never really at risk to begin with. I can take or leave cigarettes as I won’t do anything you have to inhale, but I’ll defend anyone’s right to them.
this guy probably thinks Coca should be legal
Oh, lmao. I wouldn’t stop there.
All that said, fuck Mitch. His Tobacco involvement is mid-tier evil in his black book. Pick something from the top ten greatest Mitch hits.
Personally, I think education is more important and people should free to make their own decisions.
That’s precisely what he, and the tobacco industry that was supprting him, was working against. He wasn’t just taking a libertarian stance against regulation. He was arguing against the evidence that smoking tobacco, and second-hand exposure to tobacco smoke, were bad for your health. And the quoted portion of the article also indicates that he pushed to keep tobacco education out of the broader drug education in schools.
Don’t forget that he’s been in Congress for decades, and many of the things that he had been fighting against as a senator are responsible for the general awareness of the dangers of smoking and the record low number of smokers.
Tobacco smokers are caught in addiction that their authoritative dealer has purposely made more addictive and has gaslighted them about the consequences of for decades. Now they are wilting away coughing and wheezing, but still unable to quit that “natural plant life” —with a whole bunch of added chemicals of course.
Him and Reagan have done almost all the horrible shit that’s afflicting us today. I’m not religious, but I hope there’s some hell equivalent that they are thrown into.
