    I absolutely despise the turtle-man, but I don’t like making fun of obvious medical conditions. This piece of shit has done awful things to our country, but I don’t wish him poor health.

    Feinstein as well… I can’t stand her and pity her for remaining in office as an obviously ailing 90 year old kept in place to maintain a false bulwark.

      This may make me a bad person, but here we go: I don’t give a fuck if he is sick. I honestly hope he suffers. He deserves it. That horrible piece of shit has ruined the lives of millions of people, and is continuing to do so today. The America’s (and therefor the world) would be better off if he was dead.

        Agreed. As long as you also hold the same Ire for his contemporary’s like Feinstein, Biden, Grassley, Romney, etc.

      No one’s making fun of the medical condition, they’re making fun of the evil sack of shit with the medical condition, because he’s an evil sack of shit, not because he has a medical condition.

      This piece of shit has done awful things to our country, but I don’t wish him poor health.

      Why not? The longer he lives, the longer he does evil. Ideally, we’d have a functional system that blocks evil sacks of shit from coming into power; or at the very least, upon the revelation that someone in power who turns out to be an evil sack of shit, a functional system that removes them from power. That’s not the reality we live in though, so the least extreme flicker of hope we have is that evil sacks of shit die spontaneously via stroke or heart attack or meteor strike or asphyxiation after falling head first into the tank of an outhouse… wishing poor health on evil sacks of shit should be encouraged.

      Feinstein as well… I can’t stand her and pity her for remaining in office as an obviously ailing 90 year old kept in place to maintain a false bulwark.

      Less evil so much as she’s simply a tool for actual evil; but tbh, kinda same as above, maybe barring the outhouse bit. She needs to be removed, and longer she refuses the more she solidifies her legacy as being a tool for evil. Whether or not she has the mental capacity to be aware of that is moot; ideally our system would remove someone in that condition to make space for someone who’s actually capable of doing their job… but we don’t live in that ideal, so again we’re left just waiting for a stroke or something.

      It’s shitty. It’s fucked up. It feels dirty. But I refuse to give an ounce of sympathy to evil people or their pawns just because they’re sick, or old, or senile, or distraught over the death of their pet hamster-- none of that shit matters. What matters is that they’re evil or enabling evil; and that they’re in power. Which is a fucking problem.

        Feinstein was evil well before she was a senile senator.

          I honestly don’t know much about her beyond her current drama; but the point I was making was that even if she was the most benevolent and impactful leader to ever grace this planet with her literally flawless policies: it doesn’t matter. The second she can’t do her job, she needs to get the fuck out.

      The condition he is suffering from obviously makes him completely unfit not only for office but for any job. As long as he insists on clinging on to power, it is perfectly fine to ridicule him for his condition.

      He could retire and get treated and noone would care one bit about his disease, but he himself insists on stepping into the spotlight while suffering from it, all on account of his insatiable lust for hurting others and the feeling of power which that provides him.

      Fuck him and go whatever disease it is that he is suffering from.

        Agreed. I’m not happy to see him short circuit. I’m pissed that he is doing this and still not stepping down. Feinstein too. But I think she’s too far gone to even understand anything about the world around her, plus she didn’t dedicate the past 20 years to subverting democracy to consolidate power like Moscow Mitch did. I think he understands where he is and what he would be giving up by stepping down, and he’s too selfish to do the right thing for the good of the country he supposedly serves.

        Mitch should retire so he can spend whatever remaining time he has left fucking himself with the same enthusiasm with which he sweatily fucked America.

      At least Feinstein stood for righteous causes at one point. McConnell has done more harm to this country than just about any other single person in the past few decades.

        Nah. She cargo-culted that when she was running for office, much like hillary and all the other democratic politicians from that era. None of them were on the right side of history at the time. They ret-conned it so that gullible fools would say vacuous statements like “At least they stood for righteous causes.”

      They should both step down. They are not serving their constituents like this, yet they cling on for their own benefit. Now we need to scrape them off the hill like barnacles off a boat.

        I consider myself a secular humanist. I believe in equality for everyone even if they don’t believe in that for me. I am not without nuance and get pissed off, I call out people’s bullshit, but I stand for a basic minimum: do no harm.

          You know what, you’re right. While we’re at it, I think people who criticise Hitler are too quick to forget that he died by suicide! He was going through a lot! Where is people’s humanity? /s in case it wasn’t painstakingly clear.

          Not sure why I’m getting downvotes for agreeing with you, but I care not.

          Great position dude, I try to do the same, but I’m not perfect by any means

            It’s almost as if other people have a different notion when it comes to tolerating evil people and the harm they inflict.

              Right but your initial, which I agreed with and praised you, has positive votes.

              Edit oh, not the same person but you get me
