I don't get why you'd want to spend a single day on earth being a politician, but i guess that's why i'm not a politician.

Gimmie an upper age limit on voting too. Sorry oldballs you don’t have enough time left to get to shape policy. Can’t vote til 18 fine then at 70 let’s say you’re done voting too.

But that had to be a stroke live on TV right?
To replace Mitch McConnell as senator the great State of Kentucky appoints Independant Politican Hillary Clinton.

Mitch stopped receiving signals from the mothership during the Grusch testimony. Nothing to see here.

I've never wished genuine harm on anyone, much less people I don't even know, but Mitch is an exception. An absolute ghoul who has laid down years worth of real, lasting harm to people. I hope he has horrible, painful, terminal brain cancer and dies alone and scared.

Agree. And yet he'll probably be replaced with someone even worse.

given how they went after Biden and Fetterman before, could you imagine what the GOP would say if Biden glitched for only a fraction of the time that McConnell did today?

There are a few thousand people without whom, our world would be in a significant better place. The guillotine was invented for people like McConnell

I detest McConnell and his politics but some of the comments in here are ghoulish. Shortly after the incident Biden called him to check on him, which is the appropriate response. Like it or not he is the instrument of an agenda that is horrible, but also one that his electorate keeps sending him back to pursue.

TBF - you could run a potato (or Rand Paul) as the Republican nominee for senate in Kentucky and they would likely pull 60% vote share.

The more that comes out the more it's clear that Biden is clearly not the squeaky clean Uncle figure that I've kind of admired and loved for 10 plus years since he was with obama. Looks like he's a ####ing crook no different than anyone else
