Don't flip him over. If he can't get off his shell that's Gods will.

Oh no, is the floor okay?!

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 61 points 1 week ago

That's very dangerous. Turtles can stay stuck on their back forever if no one is around to put them right side up.

Nice. Too bad he got up.

[–] BrotherL0v3@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Let me know when he doesn't get back up.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Specifically, I want people to let me know once, then STFU about it.

Hey guys I found Luigi.

For the last 5 years at least it has been normalized that these geriatric parasites can just stay in office until full dementia kicks in. At what point will people understand that these muppets don't make real decisions? Each one is an organization in of itself, and people running it and calling shots is not the figure head.

Mitch does look eerily similar to the worm in Kennedys head. I get why you said parasites now.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

If only he'd fucking stay down.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

love it, get your weak ass up bitch ass mitch. Quit your fuckin job if you're unfit you frail shit. Bow out and decay in the sewers ASAP feeble trash

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

What? And give up all that power? What reason would he have to go on living if not to inflict misery on everyone else day after day?

There’s probably a paragraph in his will insisting his corpse is propped up on the senate floor until it liquifies, just to increase everyone’s suffering.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Biden is too old but Mitch is fine?

[–] M600@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah double standards are great!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 18 points 1 week ago

Coming soon, wooden props to keep McConnell upright, followed by a starring role in the Weekend At Bernie's movie franchise.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

lol who cares??

His actions have killed millions and hindered progress in America by tens and tens of years.

Fuck off Mitch. Nobody actually likes you. Nobody really loves you. You sold out. I hope you die miserable, scared, and alone.

[–] tywarth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

They should just start wheeling him around on a gurney

This is now to where Theo Von has the point:
"I don't really even care anymore about his politics or whatever, anything like that. It's just that it feels like elder abuse to be pushing the guy around telling him he's the major of the world and shit like that. He don't even know where he is anymore"

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

If he's suffering then I hope he stays in office for another 30-40 years.

Lol love how it's all "No." until today it became "No, but... Thoughts and prayers."
