Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.
McConnell is a big reason why we're here to begin with. He broke the obstruction record during Obama's administration.
However, Dems should be taking note of how exactly McConnell obstructed so effectively and start doing it themselves ASAP.
Agree, but one thing McConnell typically had, even as Minority Leader, was his people in line. I'm not sure the dems will ever be able to form a solid block as fragmented as we all are. Doesn't meant they shouldn't try though.
There were two impeachment votes, but he for damn sure could have prevented it at an absolute myriad of junctures between 2015 and now.
Yep. Though I set the bar low at two and he still failed.
McConnell had the following response to questions of his political aptitude:
wake me up when they start falling out of windows.
Moscow Mitch is not needed anymore.

"It's reported that the senator landed on his back, and proceeded to roll back and forth for over 10min before his laughing constituents flipped him off his shell back onto his feet"
I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.
TO THE LABORATORY!

I’m a pacifist, so I’m inclined not to wish violence on anyone. But who am I to argue with the force of gravity?
… or is it the pull of Hell?

Is there video? Can we set it to the Benny hill music?
This sparks joy
The 60 minutes interview about his legacy was released a couple days ago. It's crazy he was able to sit up for that long without a spine.
I heard that his staffers achieved this by having him sit on a leaf blower during the interview, effectively making him the first "flailing arm tube man, turtoise, Moscow mule" hybrid.
Yeah, polio's a bitch... guess we'll see that back soon!

In case anyone wonders what the rules on a replacement are:
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/kentucky-replace-mcconnell-beshear-00149543
"The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator’s party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul’s seats become vacant."
Pretty sure that state law was rammed through at warp speed once Beshear was elected but prior to him taking office.

This means nothing. Let me know when is phylactery is destroyed.
We sure he wasn't pushed?
Right after he spoke up against trump and voted against hegseth? Weird. 🤔
MTG probably pushed him.
That would make me no more sympathetic to him and no less loathing of her.
Why would someone playing Magic the gathering pay either one light/dark mana to use push when they could use Fatal push instead, which is a solid equalizer to being on the draw against aggro/mana dorks.
Also a good option on the play, but most decks would proactively cast thoughtseize (assuming both in hand)

I don’t celebrate old people getting injured (my father fell and broke a hip shortly before he died), but I won’t be sad when McConnell’s dead.
“I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”
- Clarence Darrow
“Unclear about injuries. But Fox is told he appears to be ok. McConnell was helped up by Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK),” Pergram posted
Fox: It's fine, everybody! He's just as dead as he was before 👍
I just want a video of Moscow Mitch falling down a very long UP escalator.
Oh no! Anyway..
Trump must have declared universal gravitation as woke DEI

Fucking stooge
