Not an ounce of sympathy. He’s an awful human and has done immeasurable harm.

oh i don’t have an ounce of sympathy for the man, but it’s also very disappointing in the state of humanity to see how many people are making fun of him, given the fact that many of those same folks were upset at the reactions the right had about fetterman.
like, no sympathy is required, but if the community could maybe not stoop down to the level of the people we say we can’t stand, that’d be great
not that you did that, but it’s definitely a trend i’m seeing
The man actively benefits from the suffering of others. Fuck that guy. Malfunctioning Mitch could tumble down the steps of the DC metro, and I'd make the footage my fucking screensaver.
Nah, fuck that dude, he doesn’t deserve anyone’s sympathy. As for “the state of humanity”, people have always made fun of each other, so not sure what you’re getting at there.
Well Mitch is an evil person and Wayne isn’t. So your attempt to bothside this is laughable.

Fetterman wasn't dying. He had something treatable and returned to congress once his treatment was complete as competent as ever.
This is a death rattle. He's not coming back from this.
If you want to make a comparison to the Democrats, the comparison is Feinstein. And that's just as egregious. Both of them need to be out of congress now.
Unfortunately Fetterman isn't really a good comparison. Fetterman hasn't caused near as much devastating harm to as many people as McConnell has. Please find someone on the left that has hurt as many people in as many ways as Mitch...
No, I am not going to wait...

Ah man that sucks. For the ground that he fell on. I hope the evil can be scrubbed off it.
No way. That eldritch black ooze gets into things and STICKS

Yikes. Might be time to retire.
I think the only way he'll retire is in a coffin or if he gets confined to a hospital, otherwise they'll keep him going somehow.
They'll give him the Weekend at Bernie's treatment if they can get away with it...
I think they're getting away with it right now.

Average lifespan of a tortoise: 80-150 years
Mitch McConnell's age: 81
🤔🤔🤔
Don't you think he looks tired?
He's got the gaunt face of a man who's withering away. My grandpa, a much better man than McConnell, looked like that for the last few months of his life, despite spending the majority of his life with a slightly pudgy face. It is truly ghoulish the way they parade politicians like McConnell and Feinstein around as if they still have all their wits, when really they should have retired years ago. Hell, half the senate should have retired over a decade ago, but both parties value incumbency too much

At least Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, acknowledged her mistakes and did her best to help humanity in the end.

I for one hope he is healthy enough to live the rest of his life in pain over years, and forced to step down and lose his power. This man has inflicted terrible damage to this country and its citizens. This is a man who put corporations and profit over anything and has sold our democracy to the highest bidder while empowering radical religious fanatics and fascists.
He's partly responsible for so much pain, suffering, and excess deaths in this nation via his support for gun lobbies and removing healthcare rights of Americans, for his support of Trump, and the excess deaths resulting from his administration.
I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.
Zero chance this decrepit human garbage will ever step down. I hope I can be proven wrong but I'd rather just see him stroke out and it be the end. Retribution won't undo what he's done. Putting him in the dirt will be the only chance to invite that opportunity.

Sincerely? I don't want to hear another word about him until he doesn't get back up. 🤷🏼♂️
Too many people in Congress that falls under the "Help I've fallen and I can't get up" crowd. That's not the foundation of a healthy democracy.

His ghoulish flesh-suit is finally starting to sluff off. Soon he will be without his precious goo and will melt away into a sewer drain

Looking forward to this guy fucking right on off.
Good. Stay down.
Old people fall... a lot.
Am I the only 1 that could hear the slurred words in his speech for a good couple of years ? Surely someone with health issues where it impacts the brain such as strokes shouldnt be anywhere near any sort of power.
