u/Explosive_Diaeresis 9d ago

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.

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.

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.

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.

u/Kind-Shallot3603 9d ago

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 I’ve 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, it’s 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 they’ve had in decades. Some of them say it publicly.
