    well, since he’s still alive, I wish him the worst.

    I hope he’s suffering as much as possible.

    He needs to retire. Like, now. From his hospital bed.

    Genuinely thought he was already dead. Ruined my day to learn I was wrong.

      That guy deserves to suffer a long and painful death. One where he begs to end it but he won’t have a say over what happens to his own body.

        If it hasn’t been made clear that you can essentially buy an election by now…

        Not that his voters don’t bear some of the blame, but money helped put him in power and helped keep him there because he was profitable.

        These days everything is about money, except money, which is about power.

    I would be concerned or have sympathy, but using his own words he’s a lame duck to the betterment of humanity

    You know what I want to do when I’m 84? Nap. Look at pictures of my grandkids and shit. Not be in any form of legislature.

    But, because this fucking ghoul can’t understand the appeal of properly enjoying the last years of your life, the rest of us will probably have to work ourselves to death so that he can die while still being in control of the country and make a bunch of other sociopathic asshats money.

    Fuck you, Mitch. I hope it’s painful and slow.

        What damn good is power if you spend your golden years grinding yourself into an undead shell?

        I mean, yeah, I get that this is pathological on some level. But I’ll never understand why you wouldn’t have an exit strategy that allows you to enjoy the fruits of destroying a nation for at least a few years.

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.

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

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!
