Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.
McConnell is a big reason why we're here to begin with. He broke the obstruction record during Obama's administration.
However, Dems should be taking note of how exactly McConnell obstructed so effectively and start doing it themselves ASAP.
Agree, but one thing McConnell typically had, even as Minority Leader, was his people in line. I'm not sure the dems will ever be able to form a solid block as fragmented as we all are. Doesn't meant they shouldn't try though.
There were two impeachment votes, but he for damn sure could have prevented it at an absolute myriad of junctures between 2015 and now.
Yep. Though I set the bar low at two and he still failed.
McConnell had the following response to questions of his political aptitude:
I can already tell by the headline that my desired outcome did not happen.
Idk. Knowing that he knows he's old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he's probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.
When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often
How fuck did he not break his neck or die? Fucking old man like him falls down stairs and lives? I think my hunch is correct and all the freezing up and falling down is because the man been dead for years. It's whatever spell allowing his corpses to continue to function is wearing off.
Wasn't it not 2 years ago there was a picture and he showed his hands were almost completely black and he had frozen up?
Anyway wish Fucker retire or better yet go off another way. He destroyed enough of this country already and allowed Trump to do what he doing now.
How fuck did he not break his neck or die?
He withdrew his head and neck inside his torso which can offer a great deal of protection.
"It's reported that the senator landed on his back, and proceeded to roll back and forth for over 10min before his laughing constituents flipped him off his shell back onto his feet"
I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.
I’m a pacifist, so I’m inclined not to wish violence on anyone. But who am I to argue with the force of gravity?
… or is it the pull of Hell?
Im a pacificist and I hope the ocean swallows him whole
Is there video? Can we set it to the Benny hill music?
This sparks joy
The 60 minutes interview about his legacy was released a couple days ago. It's crazy he was able to sit up for that long without a spine.
Yeah, polio's a bitch... guess we'll see that back soon!
In case anyone wonders what the rules on a replacement are:
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/kentucky-replace-mcconnell-beshear-00149543
"The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator’s party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul’s seats become vacant."
Pretty sure that state law was rammed through at warp speed once Beshear was elected but prior to him taking office.
Is there a video of this one, I like to save all of his strokes, falls, etc. its a hobby, like scrapbooking the demise of a festering piece of shit.
This means nothing. Let me know when is phylactery is destroyed.
Socially minded leaders who show great promise in the US: mysteriously die, get assassinated or murdered before they get too old.
Conservatives in the US: live for 100 years causing untold human misery for as long as they live
The Luigi to regular for-profit assassin ratio is way too low.
We sure he wasn't pushed?
Right after he spoke up against trump and voted against hegseth? Weird. 🤔
MTG probably pushed him.
Why would someone playing Magic the gathering pay either one light/dark mana to use push when they could use Fatal push instead, which is a solid equalizer to being on the draw against aggro/mana dorks.
Also a good option on the play, but most decks would proactively cast thoughtseize (assuming both in hand)
That would make me no more sympathetic to him and no less loathing of her.
I just want a video of Moscow Mitch falling down a very long UP escalator.
I don’t celebrate old people getting injured (my father fell and broke a hip shortly before he died), but I won’t be sad when McConnell’s dead.
“I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”
- Clarence Darrow
Oh no! Anyway..
Is he dead?
Not yet, but an 82 year old falling down stairs is kind of on a fast track.

"In 2020, 42,114 deaths in the US were related to falls, with 86% occurring among adults aged 65 years or older.1 Falls are the leading cause of injury and among the leading causes of death among older adults in the US.2,3"
“Unclear about injuries. But Fox is told he appears to be ok. McConnell was helped up by Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK),” Pergram posted
Fox: It's fine, everybody! He's just as dead as he was before 👍
52-47
Fucking stooge
Trump must have declared universal gravitation as woke DEI
