Yeah... Not really an eat the onion situation, but my first thought was this was a satire on actual news that he was dead.
Got my hopes up for a sec. The world will be a better place when that evil traitor finally dies.
Might be a bit disrespectful to do that, eh? I'm pretty sure no outlet has actually satirized a real recent death
It'd be disrespectful as fuck. Which is exactly what he deserves.
I feel like there are some universal standards that need to be applied to everyone, especially since this guy didn't do something similar.
Agreed - I propose that as a universal standard, we celebrate the death of evil individuals with good spirits and good humor.
Affording dignity to traitors like Mitch McConnell, even posthumously, serves only to encourage others to follow in his footsteps, which brings only agony to the living.
So when he finally does us all a favor and stops stealing our oxygen let us dance upon his corpse (metaphorically ofc - your shoes would become absolutely disgusting if you took that literally).
That was my thought process as well, that this was a piece they had waiting for the right moment.
