Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed Wednesday to keep his job as Senate Republican leader at least through 2024 and to finish his seventh Senate term, which runs through 2026, despite recent health problems.

“I have no announcements to make on that subject,” McConnell, who is 81, told reporters when asked about calls from fellow conservatives to step down as Senate Republican leader.

“I’m going to finish my term as leader and I’m going to finish my Senate term,” McConnell declared.

Mitch McConnell has personally done more harm to the people of the US than anyone since Reagan. He is one of the greatest monsters in modern American history, directly responsible for immeasurable human suffering and he does not deserve to live.

The next one needs to kill him, and I hope it happens on camera for all of us to watch, because it's the closest tbong to justice he will ever face.

I'd love to watch the life slowly leave his eyes as he shits himself on national television.

I, for one, hope hell is real. Eternal torment will turn out to be a fair deal when offset by the sheer delight of watching people like McConnell plead with God as the gates shut behind them. "But...but I hurt all the people you told me to hurt..."

~~Moscow Mitch~~ Momentary Mute Mitch

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Censorship is big for Moscow, so Moscow Mitch is still relevant. His GRU handlers wouldn't let him say anything!

I would rather see a peaceful transition of power. I don't see how revenge helps anyone here.

Not the next senator, the next mine-stroke. Dying of a stroke on national tv is far better than this quivering lump of chelonian garbage deserves.
