Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As Mitch's closest relative, and power if attorney... (please no questions) It's time we pull the plug. Go ahead. I consent, take him off life support. It's what he would have wanted. Do it. DO IT NOW!

What I don’t understand is why people keep voting for him!?
Because he’s Republican. Why else would a bunch of old people vote for an old racist who wants to get rid of their “entitlements”?

It's generational voting. The kind of "My daddy voted Republican so I do too!" bullshit mixed with propaganda, mixed with racism, with a hint of just being downright stupid on top.

He won't die yet. Mitch's contract with Satan states he still gets to live to a hundred before his soul is forfeit.

Hang on Mitch! You can still ruin the lives of couple more poor people. You just have to get to another vote. You can make it!
83? I'd have sworn it's been 803 years of misery and suffering due to him.
Ain't that a fucking shame. The bastard has the best SOCIALIZED health care while the rest of the USA is in the shitter.
Happy to hear his turtle genes didn't select for longevity.
83 is already 7 years of bonus time
When asked if he had any health issues people should know about, he replied, “Of course not,”
Hehe that's funny
"The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping."
Damn right, I'm not helping.
FINALLY some happy news!
Die motherfucker die!
And when he dies, that particular species of turtle will be extinct. The scientists thought about trying to save the species, but… just look at him. That species is worthless.
It seems only the good die young :/
"flulike symptoms"
Moscow Mitch is fully vaccinated, while supporting policies that will make it impossible for most Americans to get an up-to-date vaccine.
Reminds me of Covid, when the fully-vaccinated redcaps were going on and on about the "dangers" of the jab
H5N1 is going to burn through North America, and we in the states will be fish in a barrel. No new vaccines are being developed, and the existing ones aren't being updated.

The painting keeping this guy alive must be on another level of decrepit.
Rest in piss you POS. I've lost all compassion for the traitors fucks.
We need term limits for Congress, always have. Assuming there's any Congress left in three years.
The minute anyone gets that level of power, they'll do anything to keep it, especially the vulnerable ones.
A doctor or nurse could become a hero any second now. Think of the future research departments they could save.
This POS deserves the worst for what he and his friends did to this country.
let's hope it's nothing trivial
Oh no! The pistachio butter I bought wasn't as good as I thought it would be this morning.
Anyways.

Come on, if you pull an O'Hara on us, you owe us a McConnell, tit for tat.
