He is one of the most responsible people for where American politics are today.
Absolutely no conscience and no morals, he is as close to pure evil a politician can get. He was among the main people that created the circumstances that allowed Trump to become president of USA.

You know, dying in office used to be notable and fairly uncommon. Mostly assassinations, plane accidents, etc.
But now our government is more of a hospice than anything else.
We need term limits for Congress.
I think Congress needs age limits more than term limits.

Maybe something along the lines of, if you're eligible to collect social security, then you're too old to serve in government.
You're lucky it's limited to alive people only. I wouldn't be surprised if Supreme Court got rid this limit as well.
You mean like corporations are people and they can run for congress also? New nightmare unlocked.

Why couldn't this have happened like, 20 years ago
At his funeral, throw a fire extinguisher in his grave. Where he is going, he will need it.
I don't believe in a hell, but I think a fitting eternity for Mitch is forever being ass fucked with a pineapple (no lube, pointy end first) while licking clean Lindsey Graham's "ladybugs"
How can you not believe in Hell? We're in it now.
Don't waste a perfectly good fire extinguisher on that slug. Give him an empty one with a hole in the side, because that's about as much as he gave the citizens on the country.
If McConnell dies, then the governor will choose his replacement, and the governor is a Democrat. Unless he wants to completely END his political career, he will choose a Democrat.
The Senate Republicans won't want that, so it's a pretty good bet that when McConnell dies, they will keep it a secret for as long as possible.
They are! He died ages ago, the battery just ran out which is why he was found immobile...
If it looks like mitch is going to die the KY legislature will just pass a law stripping the power from the governor to appointed interim senator
Actually they planned ahead and already did that.

Republicans are such fascist fucking filth.
They are going to Bernie him until they can be sure they'd get another republican just as malicious as he was.
He dead and the governor of Kentucky, who appoints his replacement, is a Democrat.
Kentucky is no longer among the states that allow the governor to select a replacement US Senator for a vacant seat. McConnell himself got the KY state legislature to require a special election for his seat a couple years ago. Beshear will have no say in his replacement.
So you KNOW they won’t announce his death.
Not sure what’s more on-brand, Mitch McConnell continuing to ratfuck US politics from beyond the grave, or democrats allowing themselves to be politically outmaneuvered by a dead guy
I hope when he regains consciousness, it's in one of those Hellraiser scenarios where he's stuck in an eternal loop of... torment. I guess that seems like what just hell would be as well?
Either way. As long as he suffers, forever, in the knowledge it's all his own fault because he's such a piece of shit.
We've reached peak Republican when we have to demand proof of life from the hospital for a GOP senator from a state with a Dem governor.
I predict Mitch showing up to the next senate vote wearing this

Republicans would still vote for that over a Democrat
ah a wooden overcoat, excellent choice
They (gop) will "weekend at Bernie's" him until Jan.
His operator just walked away. Even puppeteers have bathroom emergencies.
Welp, Mitch glitched (again).
