How is he still a politician?
Not an ounce of sympathy. He’s an awful human and has done immeasurable harm.
Can’t believe our taxes are going to this dude just to keep him alive. Term limits should absolutely be a thing.
oh i don’t have an ounce of sympathy for the man, but it’s also very disappointing in the state of humanity to see how many people are making fun of him, given the fact that many of those same folks were upset at the reactions the right had about fetterman.
like, no sympathy is required, but if the community could maybe not stoop down to the level of the people we say we can’t stand, that’d be great
not that you did that, but it’s definitely a trend i’m seeing
Fetterman wasn't dying. He had something treatable and returned to congress once his treatment was complete as competent as ever.
This is a death rattle. He's not coming back from this.
If you want to make a comparison to the Democrats, the comparison is Feinstein. And that's just as egregious. Both of them need to be out of congress now.
The man actively benefits from the suffering of others. Fuck that guy. Malfunctioning Mitch could tumble down the steps of the DC metro, and I'd make the footage my fucking screensaver.
Well Mitch is an evil person and Wayne isn’t. So your attempt to bothside this is laughable.
I love that phrase, I’ve never heard that before. “Attempt to bothside.” That’s fucking great.
Nah, fuck that dude, he doesn’t deserve anyone’s sympathy. As for “the state of humanity”, people have always made fun of each other, so not sure what you’re getting at there.
Satan is finally starting to claim what is now rightfully his.
I wonder when Copeland's contact is up.
Ah man that sucks. For the ground that he fell on. I hope the evil can be scrubbed off it.
No way. That eldritch black ooze gets into things and STICKS
I hear thats what got Tasha Yar.
Invest in wings
So redbull?
I feel like a Red Bull might just give him a heart attack
Depending on how you feel about him that might be a positive
Yikes. Might be time to retire.
i doubt they would let him
@sci Why not? The establishment can replace him in a heartbeat and Kentuckians will vote for whomever is picked for them.
Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen
Perversely, KY legislature passed a law specifically requiring the Governor to appoint a replacement from the same party. It was vetoed, and veto was overturned. No dem replacement despite Beshear in the governor's seat
Funny how it's called KY when its politicians fuck us without lube.
Republicans change the rules if they ever see that they’ll hurt them in the future.
Nope. In Kentucky the Governor must select from a pool of 3 candidates that the GOP gives them.
Don't you think he looks tired?
He's got the gaunt face of a man who's withering away. My grandpa, a much better man than McConnell, looked like that for the last few months of his life, despite spending the majority of his life with a slightly pudgy face. It is truly ghoulish the way they parade politicians like McConnell and Feinstein around as if they still have all their wits, when really they should have retired years ago. Hell, half the senate should have retired over a decade ago, but both parties value incumbency too much
gravity is a bitch
