Punchbowl News reports that the former Senate majority leader, who is retiring after his current term ends in January, lost consciousness at his Washington, D.C., home at 8:36 a.m. on June 14, before a dispatcher sent over an Advanced Life Support ambulance. Journalist Desiree Townsend posted a recording of the call from the emergency dispatcher Tuesday afternoon to X.
You know dying in office used to be notable. Assassinations, plane accidents, etc.
Our government is being turned into a hospice.
Please be dead please please please
If he weren’t, I feel like they would have said so.
Sort of like Stalin, eh?
Yay!
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
Mitch, god is telling you to retire. Listen to her.

Margaret Thatcher maybe?
Ding dong the witch is dead
LOL!
They are going to Bernie him until they can be sure they’d get another republican just as malicious as he was.
Why couldn’t this have happened like, 20 years ago
How could they tell?
When asked if he enjoys having no power over the machine he helped create, he shat himself as opposed to his usual routine of pissing himself. The foul odor was a sign of distress.
Damn wasn’t he just in the hospital when they did the last vote on the housing bill?
If I found him I’d have left him
Not all heros wear capes
Some, very few, have @lemmy.ml
And .world has none, only those who get in the way of real progressive politics. Hehe
Boo, that’s not even a joke, just particularly lame divisiveness.
You can dish it out but you can’t take it. I made the same joke you did, but I’m divisive? Because I’m anti imperialist? I don’t get it. Thanks for making this not fun
You’re replying to the wrong person, I didn’t comment in this thread previously
Ok? Why are you talking at me then?
Hope the endless void swallows you whole and you feel it you pos.
His operator just walked away. Even puppeteers have bathroom emergencies.
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.
I mean while it works to our disadvantage (probably} in this case, I do prefer when these offices are filled from elections and not appointments. Kentucky has a strange and unique identity and it’s hard for outsiders to grasp since we don’t know the history well.
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
At his funeral, throw a fire extinguisher in his grave. Where he is going, he will need it.
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.
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.
You just had to say it. My mind has been trying to repress that fact and you just had to say it.
Hopefully he’ll be right next to kissinger
As well as Donald J Rapeinger
