      And then they’re only allowed to live on money from Social Security.

      Let’s see how infinitely funded SS becomes then!

    The fact that he’s saying his fine, and his constituents and fellow party members are just accepting that is ridiculous. This is one of the most powerful people in the country, and he’s glitching out. Somebody with some power needs to speak up.

      It’s never going to be a winning argument as long as the corpse of Feinstein is still being draped around Congress. This is an issue that is not party specific and won’t go away soon.

    I’m really looking forward to how the GoP handles removing him. Hopefully the Dems do the same with Feinstein sooner rather then later.

      The main thing I’ve noticed is that Republicans have a much deeper bench than Dems. Too many younger Dems give up on leadership tracks because the old guard just won’t step aside. Fucking sad.

        It’s also a huge problem with all of us post boomer generations that we got so disillusioned that we don’t participate in politics

    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.

      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
