    Is it wrong to hate evil people? I’ll admit, the day he is no longer in office (however that may occur), will be a day I celebrate. I feel this man has done unforgivable damage to our society. Term limits and campaign finance reform would go a long way to keep his ilk out of seats of power.

      because nobody runs against them who has a legit chance of ever winning due to the power of incumbency and gerrymandering.

    He was just lost for a minute because he forgot he didn’t have a shell anymore and didn’t have anywhere to put his head.

    Wishing Mitch many more strokes in the future aside…

    God I’m sick of these frail old people who only have half their brain functionality, who are so incredibly out of touch with the average American due to decades and decades of being a high ranking politician, who won’t live long enough to even see what they’ve done to the world, let alone have to experience the suffering they’ve caused, still running this damned country instead of stepping aside for a younger generation.

    And yes, I know, young conservatives aren’t any better. But they’re also less entrenched, they still have time to change their minds on things, they WILL live to see the destruction conservative policies will bring. It’s not much but it’s better than 1000yr old, dementia brained, stroke having puppets. Run by their staff, and still barely functioning. Mitch could have been the bestest politician ever and I’d still be here saying he’s reached the point where he needs to retire to his rocking chair.

    Again, wishing him every well deserved stroke he gets.

      Stealing a Supreme Court pick because it was “too close to the next presidential election”, then rushing the Coney-Barrett confirmation a month before the 2020 election and smirking about it on camera made me lose my liberal respect for all life. If he had a stroke I’m rooting for the blood clot.

    Even though I despise the man, this is not enjoyable to watch.

    Besides that, it point to a central problem with American politics - the politicians are WAY to old 👴🏻

      My mom had a stroke a few years ago and that’s all i could think of while watching. He’s a terrible person but i still feel great empathy for him and his family.
