    This was already happening…

    I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.

    They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn’t even attempt to explain what was happening.

    There’s an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.

    This image from the article is rough. I have watched three grandparents decline mentally before they passed, and that is the face of someone who is not sure where they are but is doing their best to pretend they aren’t lost and scared.

    As much as I hate the man for evil he has put into the world, that is not Mitch anymore, and I legitimately feel sorry for the lost mind trapped inside his body. I hope he passes soon, for everyone’s sake.

      I get it had the same thing happen to my granma it was awful to watch and something I’d normally not wish on anyone. However, I can only hope Mitch suffers the same fate and survives a decade as a husk. Its the karma he deserves.

    He’s lost it obviously, he’s not all there. Yet another embarrassment for all Americans.

    Let’s elect him as President.

      Fucking over democracy even in a catatonic state? If young Mitch could see him now he would have the orgasm of a lifetime.

      He’d probably still do a better job than the current one with greater awareness of the topics at hand, even while approaching the state of a vegetable as an arch conservative.

      “The McConnells”

      They never tell me what happened to the last one, only that there were others, and have been for the past 3000 years. I am starting to suspect the worm killed them. I will ask Moneo in the morning, and bring my trusty lasgun.

    I know we should be sad to see his down fall from the “upstanding” individual he was by protecting the US form mandatory Paid Sick Leave, stealing a SCOTUS seat claiming 600+ days was too soon to get Neil Gorsuch, fighting against “greedy” 9/11 survivors, opposing civil rights, and filling a SCOTUS seat after an election had occurred with a Biden win. I hope the rest if his life is painful and very public

      I think their staff has a huge role to play in all of this. All those people know they will lose their job when he leaves so they are all holding him up and keeping him there. It’s actually kind of sad that we treat the elderly this way. Even if I don’t like the guy I feel like becoming an actual puppet while you are actively dying is so cruel. He should be in a bed somewhere

      We know when either he’s doing random flips like that thing from Boston Dynamics, or throws spastic tantrums like a Chinese apparatus.

    I dislike that man so much, but fuck this is cruel. You don’t treat people this way. Even pieces of shit like Mitch. The time to make him pay for being a racist asshole is long gone. He’s not there anymore.

      Treat them like what? Pointing out he’s a shitty human being that is putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his own health?

      Nah, the cruelty is on him, his family, and his fascists, not the rest of us for pointing out his a shitty human being for putting his pursuit of power and fascism ahead of his health, that he justly deserves in my opinion, and it’s perfectly valid to voice that opinion.

      I would be inclined to agree, but in this case I’m certain this is absolutely how Mitch would want it to play out if it were between this and not being involved at all.
