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

Can’t believe our taxes are going to this dude just to keep him alive. Term limits should absolutely be a thing.

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.

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.

Well Mitch is an evil person and Wayne isn’t. So your attempt to bothside this is laughable.

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…

it doesn’t have to be an equal comparison, the point that matters is this:

if you hated the assholes that were being assholes during fetterman, don’t be an asshole now, even if the person you’re being an asshole to isn’t worth pissing on to put out if they were on fire.

have some class

He’s also had plenty of opportunity to retire. In any other field someone his age would have retired long ago. But it’s been his choice to run again in every election and keep his iron death grip on the country, knowingly doing as much harm as he personally can to the political process and to the American people. (And yes, fuck the people who keep voting for him, but I also don’t think it’s quite that simple.)

So yeah, it sucks to wish harm on people in general. But there’s a million caveats to that when it’s a truly evil person, and when he’s had every chance to retire. I mean, isn’t that conservatives’ whole thing, “personal responsibility”? It’s been his choice to keep doing what he’s doing until he becomes physically or mentally incapable. After watching Feinstein continue to make decisions that affect the US when she doesn’t even know her own name, of course people can’t wait to see McConnell gtfo, no matter how it happens.

If it was a TIA they’ll probably put him on eliquis. Few months of that and his blood will be so thin, the next time he falls he’ll bleed out from a subdural or a hip fracture. Can’t wait.

All old people get like that once you hit your 70s.

My mom degloved her hand a few weeks back when reaching into a kitchen drawer on the wood. And she didn’t even feel it.

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.

Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen
