Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I don't even really understand why people like that cling to power the way they do.
They're literally dying on the job. Don't they want to retire? Spend their money a bit?
They're not even a dictator where everyone and their mother will come after the scraps of the kingdom when they show weakness.
These people are basically retired. Their primary activity is fundraising, which is talking to the same few hundred people for the last 30 years. Helping constituents is handled by the office, so are policy decisions. They actually work for a few days a quarter, and the perks more than compensate for it.
This right here. When work isn't actual work and you just go for meals and social outing's or golf days its better than retirement
It’s not just a job anymore, it’s their entire identity. We all work with people like this at some point. The job is all they are, they have nothing else outside of that. Add the control fetish so many of them have and they cannot leave.
Hell, I retired at 55 so I could enjoy the rest of my life and I’m just upper white trash!

People need protection from this. Mandatory agree limits for all public functions.
no federal office holders over the age of 75? (65?)
65 retirement age. Mandatory for everybody.
Just fucking die already.
Not gonna sugar coat it. Hope he dies terrified and in pain.
If he even knows where he is. There’s an incredibly high chance he’ll just space out again as his brain fails to connect to the rest of his body.
Someone start the water boiling. It’s time to start prepping the turtle soup!

Die bitch
I hope the mortician can find out why. Fingers crossed.
Apparently his upper respiratory system was compromised by a shit blockage. The doctor explained "kissing trump's ass for almost ten years without restraint has caused a fecal buildup that has not only blocked his nasal passages but has filled his veins with shit dust. As you know the heart has a hard time pumping shit dust instead of blood".

"It wasn't immediately made public why he was taken to the hospital."
Oh, maybe because he fucking 84 and shouldn't represent Americans. Dude was alive when we dropped the atomic bomb during world war 2.
It'd be nice if people would start reminding him that once he kicks the bucket, he's heading somewhere very hot and unpleasant. And we love that for him.
And if religion is wrong, then he's going to the void of endless nothing and he is going to be remembered for being a PoS waste of oxygen who protects pedophiles.
Health tip for everyone:
Drink more water.
No. Not because it's good for you. But because in the next few years, there's going to be an awful lot of graves coming up to be pissing on.
Nah, I'll just eat a lot of spicy food the day of.
Imagine if we had TWO big beautiful days back to back.
🤞
Inshallah
Fucking die already you piece of shit.
I don't need constant health updates on this motherfucker. Just tell me when he's dead. Or if something hilarious that's going to make him suffer incredibly for the rest of his life happens.
Unfortunately we won't get that lucky.
Tortoises live for centuries.
He’s running out of time and he’s not a tortoise, plus comparing Mitch McConnell to innocent tortoises is a insult to tortoises
So many of these ancient ghouls will die before they ever see any justice. All we can do is record their awful deeds and make sure their names are remembered in history as abhorrent.
Whatever it is, I hope it's painful and lasts a long time.
The worst part about him being sick is you know as soon as he kicks the bucket they'll find someone even worse to replace him.
The second worse part is our taxes are paying for his top quality health care while he helped 1. Make sure they pay little to no taxes and 2. Helped push the narrative that taxpayer funded health care is wrong
He opened the his car window and was nearly pummeled to death by his own wattle, saved u a klik

Hopefully for the final time
I hope it kills him.
I just hope it's excruciatingly painful for him.
Hope your death is only as painful as you deserve, Mitch - You were a vicious cancer on the world that we nay never recover from, and all because you got caught having sex with a guy in the military.
Shouldn't voters get a say on his treatment?
One less vote.
Mitch the lich.
A normal person would just retire.
Too bad this didn't happen 30 years ago
Someone had to reboot Glitchy McConnell.
I'm finally getting the hang of this voodoo shit
You're leaving too late you fucking malignant turtle.
Don’t give up, hospitalized, you can do it.
Just let us know when he's dead, thanks.
