And remember a few years ago this fucker also made so that if he left office for health reasons they have to appoint a Republican to replace him instead of having the choice to put either a Republican or Democrat in office.

I hope he's dead!
i'm so fucking tired of this bastard.
he's responsible for a lot of my misery and i want him out of it.
I never wish anyone dead, but don't expect me to shed tears over one of the architects of the destruction of the US.
I wish plenty of people dead.
I genuinely wish these malevolents death
I feel like anyone saying otherwise (who doesn’t already LIKE these guys) is just lying. How could you not? “Oh just keep destroying the lives of hundreds of millions as long as I’m on my high horse never wishing you death” that’s not the moral take people think it is.
"Mitch McConnell found unconscious" ... How could they tell?
Thoughts and prayers.
Shoulda happened 20 years ago
Yeah, I agree. But better late than never
Mhmm.
The man is 84 years old.
It's likely he's dead and they're hiding the fact. Can you imagine the jubilee that would happen today if it was reported he died, especially on Trump's birthday?
Dead mitch is dead.
I hope it was painful, this man is as responsible as Reagan for all this misery and suffering.
Back in your shell, turtle-demon.
2nd cardiac event Elderly Required CPR.
Actual chance of coming back to work is low single digit percentage points. Time for new Senate majority leader.
Not to mention that if an 84 year old man received chest compressions, he absolutely has at least one, likely several, broken ribs.
Much lesser chance than that. Survival rates after CPR are less than 10% for adults.
Yeah, movies make you feel like if you have a heart attack, they'll get you back, but in reality 90% chance you don't survive. Sometimes they can get your heart beating, but you still don't come back, because no oxygen to the brain for too long.
I am extremely confused because I could have swore this happened previously and I guess I was right. Second heart attack in a month. The police need to be called as well as the FBI. They are torturing a senile senior senator for political gain. The fact that his family is allowing this is extremely telling about the type of people they are.
With that said I hope they’re water boarding him too
All these people act like kings, barons, and counts wanting to die on the throne.
c~~o~~unts *
These fucks are going to life support this fuck until after August 1st.
I hope he suffers every bit as much as he has caused.
God keeps trying to send this guy to hell... why do these so called religious people keep stopping God's will?
Gonna lie, wish him all the best
Rest in piss, shitbag
Quit wasting tax payer money in this vile fucking ghoul
Oh, so what should we be paying the CIA for? Let them play with their thumbscrews just a little longer. There's no harm in it this time.
Assumed this was upliftingnews.
he's not going to die until they find all the phylacteries
I know this trick!
Someone go blow up the moon.
Claims to be pro life.....
Eighty fucking four years old. You should be in a fucking old folks home, you dirty old bastard.
We need to enact age limits on our government, JFC. I wouldn't trust someone ten years YOUNGER to even drive safely, yet this turtle twat is a senator???
And has been for like 40 years
I can only wish he reaps exactly what he sowed.
It's too late and he hasn't. He's sowed misery, hate and corruption and reaped money and power his whole life and now he's dying at a ripe old age with zero consequences. His legacy won't do well, but he himself has not had to suffer for all the destruction he's caused to our country, our reputation, and to democracy worldwide.
CPR on an 80 year old means his ribs no longer exist, so that’s nice.
I wonder if they tubed him. Then it's really over.
If it makes you feel better, he absolutely hates trump, because Trump jumped the gun and now it will likely fail long term.
The stress of trump over the last decade, is likely what contributed to his heart attack and combined with Trump's rush job is why he won't live to see his plan come to fruitation.
People forget that, none of what's happening is Trump's plan, he latched onto an existing plan and insisted the timelines were drastically moved up. And that's probably what will save us, because if Paul Ryan had done half this shit as president it would have worked.
None of whats happening indeed isn't the trumpanzees' plan, it is what capitalism produces and revolves around.
I also think COVID and AI have fucked up the planning by putting negative pressure on the stability of the social order. I would not be surprised if they are seen similar to the Antonine plague and economic stagnation of Rome.

They're keeping the corpse on life support to avoid getting clobbered in another special election. I thought the governor appointed them but that changed now it's a special election.
You don’t perform CPR on people who are breathing. He was dead for a while before he was found. No one knows for how long. He probably is still dead, they just don’t want to announce it for purely political reasons.
