Mitch McConnell would happily sell his country into fascism for literally no good reason at all. He's retiring soon and is rich enough to want for nothing for the rest of his life - he gains nothing of lasting value from this.

Few people in history have been granted the amount of power and opportunity he's had to improve people's lives, and he's chosen make them immeasurably worse at every turn.

A wasted life, a wasted career and all he'll leave behind is a broken world that would have been better off if he'd never been in it.

And he’s only going to be capable of experiencing the results for another couple years at most. He’s a few steps away from a walking vegetable.

It's like that demotivational poster:

"Sometimes the purpose of one's life is to serve as a warning to others."

Party before country.

Dick riding before growing a spine

Gotta get ready for months of Republicans cuckolding themselves in the media.

They saw the chance to be rid of him and started talking shit, but now they have to resume their boot licking.

The only thing constant in the GOP is their lack of morals and spine.

He’d happily sell his soul, too.

Only problem is Tarnished Senator Souls aren’t worth all that much. It’s like the Karen’s that think that used loveseat from the 80’s actually has value because they paid a shitload for it in the 80’s.

It’s long been sold

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Why do you think tarnished politicians are so worthless? Hardly any bit of soul left.

Hypocrisy is a tool of the GQP

He's second on my list of people that I'm throwing parties for when they die to celebrate.
Trump is on the top of that list.

His headstone will become my new urinal.

What do you get when you cross a turtle with a chicken?

A traitor to 248 years of democracy

A bag of dicks?

Of course he did. He's a good little fascist lapdog

Of course, can't have a woman be president. Can you imagine? /s
