Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Good, he's a dinosaur anyways and we need to extinct them so to speak. They are ruining life for everyone.

I be he is sad about losing his bet with the Koch brothers that he could successfully complete the portal opening sequence to the gates of hell while he was Senate Majority Leader.

Fuck McClownell.

Will they carry him out on their shoulders? In a pine box? I mean, he died months ago, didn't he?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

A pinnacle of how flawed the American government is, 39 years in our government thus far. 2 senators per state with no term limits and I still hear people argue that the senate serves a good purpose.

"He spoke at times haltingly"

Adios Moscow Mitch!

I once sent an email to him directly with the phrase "$2000 or a new guillotine?"

Guess what he picked ;)?

This guy was great in Pans Labyrinth!

So stepping down as party leader in Senate, but not from the Senate? Ugh...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think his term ends in '26. Lets hope he doesnt run for reelection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What are the Vegas odds he's alive in '26? Can't be looking favorable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

If only the good die young he will live forever

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Some turtles can live to be over 100 years old.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Definitely can't be favorable, especially since him surviving is in itself unfavorable.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)

fuck him. he should resign from the senate completely.

sincerely, lifetime kentucky resident

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

I'd like him to also resign from being alive. Unfortunately, the damage is already done, so him dying really has a negligible effect other than not having to hear from him anymore, which is a grace I think this planet has earned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm not one to bet however I would be willing to bet my first born and the farm, on the basis that McConnell is a lich.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

not necessarily. if he dies our democrats governor gets to pick the next senator despite what an unconstitutional law says.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago

Don't let the door hit your ass on the w-- actually scratch that, I hope the door hits you so hard on the way out that you spend the remainder of miserable life managing broken ass related complications.

People like you make me wish hell was real.

Fucking traitor.

Does he know he's stepping down? Has anybody told his nurse to give him the message?
