I would feel bad for the cancer that got Mitch Mcconnell

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Don’t feel bad for the heroes. Root for them.

Dick Cheney lived 10 years without a heart. I am not celebrating just yet.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Dick was around for more than 10yrs.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Same. But also I will celebrate his death and mourn his life.

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago

Oh no. I hope it’s something serious.

[-] Pistcow@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago

finally, some good fucking news.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh noes! Not another stroking-out geriatric retainer of the status quo about to need a special election in his district! That can't be good for the powers desperately trying to claw some survival plan out of a burning railcare of dumpsters heading towards a cliff!

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

To those putting on their dancing shoes... there's no point. He already did all the damage. Short of going back in time nothing will fix what he's done. Unfortunately.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

His death doesn't reverse things, but the world will still be a better place without his presence.

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

No argument there. :(

I can hope it is a painful death.

[-] Zexks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

You act like he cant still do MORE damage

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Good point. Sigh.

Oh man. Is one of my reserve bottles getting popped soon?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. Some turtles can easily live for over a hundred years.

[-] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 week ago

“He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”

Just fucking retire, you despicable old cunt.

McConnell, the Senate’s third-oldest member,

WHAT?!? There's 2 senators older than him.

He plans to retire from Congress when his current term concludes in January 2027.

He wont live that long

My theory is somewhere deep inside himself he knows that once he loses access to his power and position, and the obsequious self-assurance it provides, all that's left will be to confront the abject moral abyss that is his soul. So he's just trying to die ignorant and shameless in office.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

Don't insult reptiles like that...

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

May he truly understand how awful he was before he bites it.

I hope he has a visceral fear of going to hell because of his actions. The least we can wish for.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Here's hoping for the Republican rule of 3

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

I hope you die slowly and painfully Mitch

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is he dead yet?

Edit: i love how we're all on the same page here. may he die soon. and painfully.

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 10 points 1 week ago

As Mitch's closest relative, and power if attorney... (please no questions) It's time we pull the plug. Go ahead. I consent, take him off life support. It's what he would have wanted. Do it. DO IT NOW!

I’ll have to start believing in it. As a treat.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I assume he's at the marine biology hospital? Well, I'm sure he'll be coming out of his shell soon - one way or the other.

The former Senate majority leader missed crucial Senate votes on Monday and Tuesday, Politico reported.

At least there's that

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

FINALLY some happy news!

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

And when he dies, that particular species of turtle will be extinct. The scientists thought about trying to save the species, but… just look at him. That species is worthless.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago
[-] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

This POS deserves the worst for what he and his friends did to this country.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

We need term limits for Congress, always have. Assuming there's any Congress left in three years.

The minute anyone gets that level of power, they'll do anything to keep it, especially the vulnerable ones.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

let's hope it's nothing trivial

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Die already.

[-] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 4 points 1 week ago

83? I'd have sworn it's been 803 years of misery and suffering due to him.

[-] osanna@thebrainbin.org 4 points 1 week ago

he got 83 years too many. fuck you, scum.

It's a shame he'll age out before the guillotines could get built.

[-] karashta@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Linger and suffer, you fucking ghoul

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'd like to remind everyone here that, while he was laying the groundwork for the current political climate of the U.S., he had 3 daughters and two wives. He's old enough that the upper part of his left leg is paralyzed due to polio.

We are seeing a resurgence of measles, thanks to men like this — who got to live full lives while fucking us all over. Who knows, maybe we'll see one for polio!

Cheer for his death if you must, he has already won.

[-] Kraiden@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago
[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Rest in piss you POS. I've lost all compassion for the traitors fucks.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

May his suffering be proportional to that which he's caused. <3

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

You get back here and die on stage like the joke you are sir

[-] DCErik@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I hate Trunt with my prefrontal cortex for his fraud and sedition against the United States of America.

I hate McConnell with my amygdala, which instinctively recognizes him as a sneering, hostile, alien threat to our species.
