Confused Mitch McConnell, 84, Has to Be Told How to Vote
a month ago by inclementimmigrant to c/politics
That asshole deserves whatever elder abuse he's getting, times a hundredfold.
Ya, but that’s not happening to him, it’s happening to someone who is probably no longer him and is just a frightened old man like any other. I wish bad things upon the past Mitch who was aware and doing terrible shit, but this isn’t him anymore.
It’s important to remember that an outlet for rage rarely aligns with our usual morals.
So instead, let’s fight elder abuse while ensuring future generations understand that this man was a fucking nazi who brought nothing but shame to the nation and state he swore to serve, while enriching himself.
It's Ok to flog the husk
This prick gleefully made this country worse for millions of people for the next 3+ generations.
I don't care if he remembers his name in hell, may he burn there all the same.
I hope he's locked in there somewhere and just has to sit there and watch it happen.
No, it's exactly what he would have wanted.
It has happened in the past with Feinstein, Hatch and numerous others. Term limits need to be in place. Its a sad state of affairs
Seems illegal
True
Illegality has never been of great concern for American politicians.
This image from the article is rough. I have watched three grandparents decline mentally before they passed, and that is the face of someone who is not sure where they are but is doing their best to pretend they aren’t lost and scared.
As much as I hate the man for evil he has put into the world, that is not Mitch anymore, and I legitimately feel sorry for the lost mind trapped inside his body. I hope he passes soon, for everyone’s sake.
That man has helped kill millions of people.
Look, I want to piss on his grave as much as anyone, but it isn't retribution or justice when the individual suffering no longer remembers who they are or what they did. Makes me think of Nier: Automata with ::: spoiler spoiler ___ Popola and Devola ::: I'm just ready for Kentucky to get another chance at a thinking representative.
Great game. Still don’t care. Dude has done imessurable harm to innocent and oppressed people. My grandma went like this and it’s horrible to watch. My grandma never heald a seat of power and helped destroy the United States and murder women and children. Fuck Mitch. Fuck the shell of Mitch and may his mindless bitch ass be as scared and unaware until he shuffles off this mortal coil. This is the great equalizer and just more evidence why we should be kind to each other and not tolerate Nazis. Mitch has been instrumental to where we are as a nation of Nazis right now. And we aren’t even fucking getting started. Sincerely one of his constituents.
Vote trump into prison. No quarter. No more sympathy. America lives or dies this November.
I understand, and if you get satisfaction then great! I just can't.
Absolutely vote Trump into prison for life. All 5-15 remaining years of it.
The world fascists want also revels in the suffering of their enemies over weak, cowardly things like mercy and humanity.
It's one thing to think the world would be better without someone in it, it's something else to endorse torture rhetoric because "they deserve it."
Kentucky would proudly vote for him again if he ran. They are dumb as fuuuuuuck.
Paradox of tolerance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
The paradox (or rather, Popper's solution) describes curbing their influence and participation in society. It doesn't necessitate personal spite. It's perfectly possible to both say "I'm sorry that you suffer" and "...but I don't want you having a say in my politics".
Is this sarcasm?
Anger is a gift
I get it had the same thing happen to my granma it was awful to watch and something I'd normally not wish on anyone. However, I can only hope Mitch suffers the same fate and survives a decade as a husk. Its the karma he deserves.
If it helps, remind yourself that this is what he would have wanted for himself.
Yeah, I think it's possible (and sometimes valuable) to have both disdain for someone's actions and decisions and compassion for things they didn't and couldn't decide. I hope he is removed from all positions of influence, but I wouldn't wish dementia on him any more than I would on anyone else.
He deserves all the suffering you can imagine and more
I used to work in a hospice with stroke patients, I have seen that face a hundred thousand times on a hundred diffrent patients.
He's lost it obviously, he's not all there. Yet another embarrassment for all Americans.
Let's elect him as President.
If someone has to be told how to vote they should be removed from office immediately. Fucking zombies.
I mean I get the sentiment being made but that's literally what a representative is
Feel like you’ve missed the context.
No like I said I get the context but the generalized statement of saying a representative shouldn't be told how to vote is both humorously incorrect and the exact problem of our current system. They are told how to, but by corporations and not constituents
It’s not a generalized statement. It’s specific to the fact that Mitch McConnell no longer has the ability to think. He almost voted democrat and had to be told to vote republican. That is the context. Not the fact that republicans and a lot of democrats are bought and paid for by corporations and pedophile billlionairs which is very true.
"The McConnells"
They never tell me what happened to the last one, only that there were others, and have been for the past 3000 years. I am starting to suspect the worm killed them. I will ask Moneo in the morning, and bring my trusty lasgun.
So I brought my boombox and hit the turbo bass and what happened next was a total disgrace
Fucking ghoul. Why in Congress a nursing home??? Get these geriatric ass fucks OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUT OF OUR LIVES!
I think their staff has a huge role to play in all of this. All those people know they will lose their job when he leaves so they are all holding him up and keeping him there. It's actually kind of sad that we treat the elderly this way. Even if I don't like the guy I feel like becoming an actual puppet while you are actively dying is so cruel. He should be in a bed somewhere
I wouldn't be shocked if this is what he wanted if it meant bombing one more school.
I know we should be sad to see his down fall from the "upstanding" individual he was by protecting the US form mandatory Paid Sick Leave, stealing a SCOTUS seat claiming 600+ days was too soon to get Neil Gorsuch, fighting against "greedy" 9/11 survivors, opposing civil rights, and filling a SCOTUS seat after an election had occurred with a Biden win. I hope the rest if his life is painful and very public
Looks like he's more of a tortoise:
More than usual, you mean?
Yes.
Elon probably shoved in a neuralink and they are controlling him remotely. He's gone full cyborg.
We know when either he's doing random flips like that thing from Boston Dynamics, or throws spastic tantrums like a Chinese apparatus.
This is Feinstein all over again. Embarrassing, but another sign of how backsliding this democracy is.
It's still Weekend At Mitch's, geesh.
Wtf ! That his real face ?!
So, a typical Trump voter then.
I dislike that man so much, but fuck this is cruel. You don’t treat people this way. Even pieces of shit like Mitch. The time to make him pay for being a racist asshole is long gone. He’s not there anymore.
Forgive? Nobody said forgive.
He's getting only a fraction of what he deserves for instilling so much pure, concentrated evil upon us all these decades.
Treat them like what? Pointing out he's a shitty human being that is putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his own health?
Nah, the cruelty is on him, his family, and his fascists, not the rest of us for pointing out his a shitty human being for putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his health, that he justly deserves in my opinion, and it's perfectly valid to voice that opinion.

This was already happening...
I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.
They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn't even attempt to explain what was happening.
There's an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.
