      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.

        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.

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

    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.

      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.

          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.

    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

    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.
