Mitch's replacement will likely be the craziest person in the Senate.

Tuberville?

It is gut wrenching to realize how totally unserious our leaders are in the face of the serious issues our nation / world are facing right now.

We get the leaders we deserve imo

Has it ever been culturally cool to be a serious, fact-based, reasonable, reliable, and socially minded wet blanket?

Will it ever be cool?

Now that companies mostly aren't punished by consumers for appearing to be bad actors, the money doesn't care about that facade either.

This is why we are mumped.

Yeah tbh I’m not sure our system would be set up the way it is if our founders thought anyone but the most educated people would be voting.

The game plan seems to be fire everyone in Washington and replace them with a bunch of dorks from the Iowa State Fair

January 6th(or whatever that actual day is) 2025 is going to be an absolute crap show in front of the capital. They are going to certify and/or reject electors from bunkers. crap. Show.

These incidents appear to be seizures, so it's not very funny. Not that anyone here is making jokes, but a lot of people elsewhere are. If this is happening multiple times in press conferences, you have to wonder how often it is happening behind closed doors. Guy needs to step down, for his sake.

I don't think he's capable of stepping down. Being an bad person in the senate is all he has to live for.

Yeah, like Bear Bryant or Joe Paterno. The second he stops being a senator he'll die. But no matter the order, those two events will come in very close succession for him.

Agreed, the incident itself is not funny. The fact that it happened immediately after being asked about running for another term is borderline hilarious.

Ok, you got me. That aspect was pretty funny. Someone should dub the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme over that.

1. eff him, it's funny only for him, it's a unique situation given his role in blocking making health care affordable to seniors who don't have government health care plans and pensions.
2. Joe Biden is 7 months younger than Mitch. 7 months ago Mitch wasn't freezing up on camera. This should be a wake up call to Joe Biden and the DNC but he's a power hungry megalomaniac and his party only cares about attempting to horde power. They are trying to keep someone Mitch's age as the leader of the free world for five more rough ridin' years. Absolutely absurd and unacceptable.

I have no problem calling him Glitch McConnell. None.

The windows reboot sound should be played every time he does this.

His aides should dress him in a shirt that shows a cell phone battery with a red slash through it.

MadCat · « **Reply #1021 on:** August 30, 2023, 04:39:10 PM »

If Donald Trump gets a second term, he will be older than Mitch McConnell is now...assuming he hasn't somehow become the orange god-emperor of the confederate states by then
