    That’s very dangerous. Turtles can stay stuck on their back forever if no one is around to put them right side up.

      I think one of these people lived a stressful life and the other did not.

        Yea, touring nation wide is stressful. Living a cushy life taking bribes in congress is so easy for Mitch.

          I honestly think that the job of a politician comes with some level of stress. I think there is a lot of hostility in that area of work and competition. So the stress comes from external factors like people trying to run against you and stuff like that.

            Now now, I’m sure the constant screaming of the sacrifice children at the annual Pot Luck/Sacrifice Orgy had an effect, too.

        Yeah, but he was able to get his stress out by singing and shagging and such.

    For the last 5 years at least it has been normalized that these geriatric parasites can just stay in office until full dementia kicks in. At what point will people understand that these muppets don’t make real decisions? Each one is an organization in of itself, and people running it and calling shots is not the figure head.

      Mitch does look eerily similar to the worm in Kennedys head. I get why you said parasites now.

      What? And give up all that power? What reason would he have to go on living if not to inflict misery on everyone else day after day?

      There’s probably a paragraph in his will insisting his corpse is propped up on the senate floor until it liquifies, just to increase everyone’s suffering.

    Coming soon, wooden props to keep McConnell upright, followed by a starring role in the Weekend At Bernie’s movie franchise.

    lol who cares??

    His actions have killed millions and hindered progress in America by tens and tens of years.

    Fuck off Mitch. Nobody actually likes you. Nobody really loves you. You sold out. I hope you die miserable, scared, and alone.

    This is now to where Theo Von has the point:
    “I don’t really even care anymore about his politics or whatever, anything like that. It’s just that it feels like elder abuse to be pushing the guy around telling him he’s the major of the world and shit like that. He don’t even know where he is anymore”

      If he’s suffering then I hope he stays in office for another 30-40 years.
