It lives in my brain forever that Mitch McConnell eats apple sauce for breakfast, mashed potatoes for lunch, and ham and gravy for dinner every single day.

Probably due to dentures. But one of the most powerful and richest ghouls of the American Regime eating joyless baby food is some sort of metaphor.

I distinctly remember Hillary saying she has something like a plain hotdog with ketchup for lunch most days. All of the money they'd ever want or need and they eat the most basic slop imaginable.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 48 points 2 days ago

i think it was even a bunless hot dog. just the weiner with ketchup. literally what my ass was eating when i was 5 and poor

[-] foxontherocks@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

That is revolting. It is one thing if she is going outside to get a dirty water dog everyday. That is sick but in the correct, NY kind of way. This sounds like she has a pack of hotdogs in a minifridge in her office and she is microwaving them.

Remember how she carries a bottle of hot sauce with her wherever she goes? Especially if that hotdog comment was said when she was campaigning, it was only because she thought it would make her more appealing to the lowly, unwashed masses. "See, I'm just like all you dirty poors!"

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

I think the hot sauce thing turned out to be true, like she does really have a bottle on but staffers said she put it on everything even stuff you wouldn’t normally like she was a character from iZombie. So even her humanising “normal” behaviour was done in an odd and off-putting manner

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Like ghouls as they are, you know Obama and Newsom are eating like fancy lads.

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Internationally Trudeau and Macron are eating good.

Starmer and Albanese probably too but then they have to lie and triangulate on something neutral and boring.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

starmer eats at the high-end restaurants in parliament that are heavily subsidized by the taxpayer
they pay less for fancy sit-down meals than the average prole does for a greasy take out

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah but like with whole Kemi Badenoch sandwich thing he’s got to pretend like he is not doing that.

is she depressed?

[-] foxontherocks@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

It is wild how this describes like HUNDREDS of our politicians.

no way some old dude who has visions of death while he's trying to give a speech is capable of turning to his side when he's mid fall. that turtle definitely fell face first into his old man goop

[-] ShareThatBread@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Wonder if it was a container of fruit

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 66 points 2 days ago

I know if he dies he'll simply be replaced by another horrible ghoul. I still really want him to die though.

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 61 points 2 days ago

holden-bloodfeast my time has finally come

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 41 points 1 day ago

I don’t understand why these people even want to keep working into their 80s and 90s. What the hell? It sounds miserable.

to be fair, their job is eating $40 steaks with lobbyists and no-call-no-showing votes to take away their constituents rights

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

I’m sure they all wear dentures. Anything spicier than an Ensure shake gives them debilitating indigestion.

If I’m 83 and breaking my hips walking up 100-step marble staircases, I would be questioning why I’m doing that instead of living out my remaining years watching Price is Right on my yacht.

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You get driven in a nice car from your fancy DC townhouse or penthouse to a huge office with comfy chair and private bathroom where your staffers act like servants while telling you how important you are. Then you go to nice restaurants with lobbyists.

It's like how people would talk about Bezos doing 60 hr weeks. The conditions he "worked" under shouldn't be considered work to begin with.

(Personally being an introverted person it sounds the worst but I get why others would like it)

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

I'm with you but for them congress is nirvana.

[-] turmoil@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

well it's not like their jobs involve doing any actual work

[-] halfpipe@hexbear.net 50 points 2 days ago

Like half of congress is 70+ at this point. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

How long until most of congress is required to go around in wheelchairs, accompanied by nurses, because the house and senate majorities are so thin that it just takes one or two dinosaurs falling over to reshuffle US politics.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

if we're lucky a few of these old toads will croak and fix those margins

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Since it says he fell twice I am imagining he slipped and fell, got up, and immediately stepped on a banana peel

[-] christian@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

The banana peel was actually at the very top of the staircase he fell down. It's been reported that his body contorted into a circle and he rolled down the stairs like a Looney Tunes character.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 49 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Please die while Congress is in session, pretty please. It would be so funnytimmy-pray

[-] christian@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

An entire nation eagerly watching C-SPAN like children on Christmas eve.

[-] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

FUCKING DIE PLEASE

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

imagining him falling face-first but his head bends just enough for the saggy mashed potatoes in his neck wattle to hit the ground first, which end up being bouncy enough to act like an airbag to absorb the impact as the pouch compresses and violently jiggles

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

I don't care what the facts are. That's too good not to be true.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

Die already you corrupt fascist fuck! sicko-crab

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago

Ffs can't this decrepit ghoul do one decent thing and fall on camera?

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

I really wonder how he functions every day in public so we never see video or even get a blurry photo by some rando of him in physical distress. Maybe he always has two aides on either side of him and their entire job is to be sure the Great Man is never seen falling over like a sack of rancid potatoes.

Uncritical support to comrades stairs and gravity in their protracted physics war against genocidal octogenarians

I have a feeling Trump might give some sweet "eulogy" similar to his Colin Powell words when he died

If I have to live in this slowly increasing dystopia, I at least demand Orange Clown Man ritualistically embarrass his opponents (even people who were never really such) in life and death

I can absolutely guarantee when Bolton finally croaks, Trump's words on him are going to be golden. This is all I have to live for.

Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!

Talk about "perfect" phone calls. That's a perfect "fuck you" when a piece of shit just died and the media is riding his corpse still

Edit: Ok, I keep editing faster than a NYT editor when they're covering a fresh Israeli war crime...

But I just learned Bolton is younger than Trump (wtf???). He's "only" 76. Considering he appears to be healthier (who knows) than Trump, well, nature better not rob me. I need this.

Also, check this out from US News

Only a handful – such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who angered Trump when the Kentucky Republican said Trump was morally responsible for the Jan. 6 insurrection – made more effusive remarks.

Eh? Eh? (Please god)

Unfortunately it's unseasonably cold, so I will not be able to take my crabs to the streets. But know that they're with you in spirit, in terrariums.

[-] uSSRI@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

If you're cold, your crabs are colder. Good job taking care of your crabs 🦀
