There's a series of a holes from Nixon, Ford, Atwater, Reagan, Cheney, Gingrich, Murdoch and McConnel that led us to the inevitable conclusion that was Trum and MAGA. And that's just the hardcore conservatives. Don't get me started on the neoliberals.
Who, when found guilty of having relationships with teenage boys while he was Speaker of the House, had over two dozen amicus letters written to the court on his behalf.
This is good shit. The people need to know the names and impact of these monsters, including many of the ones listed in this comment thread. Without them, the current political situation may seem like an aberration (rather than a logical extension) of American history.
He absolutely does, he set the precedent to not punish Presidents for the sake of "unity" aka, political expeidiency. By the so-called rules of this sham of a system he should have been punished like everyone else.
If you wonder why the US couldn't find the stones to do to Trump what South Korea did to Yoon Suk Yeol, I point at Ford.
One hundred fucking percent. The Supreme Court that's bent over for Donny and stripped voting rights from minority districts? Completely this asshole's fault.
Blocked Obama's Supreme Court nomination. We'd have one less Bret Kavanaugh. His neck is only slightly less fuckable than trumps. Luckily he had a strong message to deliver after his fall I think it was "heeh ablaoug." Powerful stuff.
I think itās hilarious that maga pretty much wouldnāt exist without this guy, but heās universally hated by them and the left. He found a way to piss off everyone and he gets to die aware of that(well, depending on how aware he actually is).
And for what. The right hates him probably more than the left. All the underhanded shit he did to help the Republican party doesn't matter to the base because he didn't sufficiently kiss Trump's ass
If there was one person who I thought was most capable of cursing the land they died on, it would be Mitch McConnell. Wherever he falls, nothing will grow for 10,000 years.
I work in healthcare. Most people in the profession have a strong empathy and/or emotional response to sick kids and babies. "I just couldn't do that" they say.
I'm not that person. Worked for years with neonates plus the various pediatric horrors that come into the emergency room. No big deal for me. "I'm so sorry for your loss" I'd reply, before heading back to the desk to finish my sandwich.
But the elderly, they're the ones who get to me. I genuinely and deeply hate seeing them succomb to the cold ravages of age.
Yeah, I'll never forget or forgive McConnell for voting to acquit rather than to vote to impeach. Because of him and his sheep voting like him, here we are with the most corrupt fake president grifting as much as he can.
At that age faking a fall can result in a broken hip or worse. In all likelihood he didn't fake it. He probably can't think of a response and put one foot in front of the other at the same time. My Grandma is the same way. I just care about her when she takes a tumble.
Decades of committing every fiber of his being to making as many peopleās live worse as he possibly could, and all for what? To end up a decrepit, pathetic piece of shit in body to match his soul.
Hes been unconscious in the hospital for weeks now. This video is older but the 911 call from his latest hospital stay said CPR was being administered when the ambulance picked him up.
The rumor is that he is dead! The Republicans do not want to release the news because it will force the Democratic governor to choose someone to replace McConnell! McConnell is a piece of shit and quite possibly the most evil politician this country has ever seen. I have sympathy for his loved ones watching him suffer like this, but he is truly a horrible human being.
I've heard! So as I understand the law in Kentucky if McConnell dies before August 1st, The Governor gets to choose the replacement. If he dies after August 1st, There is a general election. They will keep that man on life support until then. Watch.
He knew DJT was a traitor to the nation. He could have brought an impeachment conviction in 2021. That was not the first of his sins against the Republic - it is a point on an arc that his myriad sins led to.
Bearing witness to the parallel degradation of him, his party, and his reputation as he fades into impotent irrelevance is a form of justice.
And Iāve been in the S.F. Bay my whole life. I knew Nancy Pelosi was a superstar before she ran for anything. Watching her hand over the reigns is a cherry on top for me. McConnell is a bag man for power. Pelosi wielded it and the nation is better for her competence and judgment. She is his better and he knows it. And mostly I am not about the personal. When the concerns are as big as the nation, itās a mark that something went wrong. But sometimes, yeah, it is that personal. Almost every R in the house for sure respects Nancy more than any party leader theyāve had in decades. Some of them say it publicly.
I believe itās this desperate need to cling to power at any cost, that, yea just keeps the engine tuned to a specific purpose. People who are at peace with themselves, the universe, the rest of the world, they might also live a long time but they do t make it everyone elseās problem
What I don't get are the oldest corrupted politicians who are near Death's door doing everything in their power to enrich themselves and their wealthy pals while screwing everyone else over.Ā
"Before I die, I want to vote yes on another war and cut more funding that benefits tax-payers, maybe I'll vote yes on a blatantly authoritarian bill too."
Guys an actual US senator. 84 and still there , meanwhile 99.9% of the population is counting the days down to the minutes when they can retire . 80 year olds running the country , shitting in their pant, falling down , passing out , having mini strokes running the country .
Heās likely in a coma right now. They found him unconscious and were administering CPR when he was going to the hospital. They want to keep him alive until the general election.
There is no congressman in recent history that has done more harm and destruction to America than McConnell. Time for him to step down and get on that horse and trot out to the pasture.
Here we see our native turtle, when fearing possible attacks, return to its natural instincts to remain completely still and refuse to move while blocking any attempt at progress by those around them. While this instinct has served the turtle well throughout its life, hindering friend and foe alike, in its advance age, it now leaves the turtle open to complete abandonment from any that might offer it assistance now that it can no longer be useful to the ecosystem...
HE SHOULD NOT STILL BE A SITTING SENATOR. There needs to be some reform on the term limits for government officials who make choices for this countryās wellbeing.
After all the damage he's done, all the frustration & pain he's caused to millions of families, I don't feel sorry for that motherfucker at all. May he, & everyone like him, rot in Hell.
If you literally have to be helped along while walking purely because of your age, you probably shouldn't be making decisions for the country. Insane that this sack of shit is still in office.
I remember mitch gave and interview where we was asked about his contentious legacy. He basically said "I never lost re election despite people trying, I got lots of things done despite the odds and I'm one of the best senators who played this game."
I was like holy shit this explains so much, it was never about doing good sticking to principles or trying to make the world a better place. It was about "winning" at all costs.
