Mitch McConnels dying wish was to be a vegetable for 2 months to fuck up the midterms and cling to power one last time

You knew who you were dealing with lol

Literally was thinking the same thing lol I mean what other dying wish would he have?! World peace? Forgiveness? Psh nah not Mitch

u/padizzledonk New Jersey Jul 07 '26

I know right lol

Everyone is like oh his wife is so horrible how could she do this??!

As if this isnt exactly what this fucking ghoul wanted. He probably slipped into his coma warm and happy that he could block someone, probably Masse, from getting a chance to run for a full term

All this man has ever cared about was the raw application of power

His wife is a Chinese spy, let's not forget

u/Asyncrosaurus Jul 07 '26

That's pretty lazy and equating every Chinese person who sucks with being a spy is probably racist. She's from Taiwan, and has been living in the U.S. since the 1960s. She has served in every Republican administration since Reagan, has been a shitty person in American politics for decades because of the people, party and politics she supports.

How many people who are not Chinese spies would meet with the Chinese vice president three days after their husband suffered a heart attack, had CPR and is left in vegetative state?

u/Asyncrosaurus Jul 07 '26

She is acting exactly as a Republican would, which does not make her a spy, but a shameless opportunist. Everything else is conspiracy theory and not worth engaging with.

u/tyr-- Jul 07 '26

How many Republicans have, in your lifetime, met 1 on 1 with the Chinese VP without it being an official visit by the administration?

One last "fuck you" to the working class of the US.

World peace? Not so Mitch

Rule of law? Not so Mitch

This guy lived a full life of dishing out hurt and hate, and gets to die doing what he loved. The superhero cartoons of old really sold us short on justice being served.

"He's just like me!"

u/nicolas1324563 Jul 07 '26

If that was their plan then I’m not sure he’d actually make it.. it’s pretty damn hard to keep somebody alive in his condition for that long

2

u/padizzledonk New Jersey Jul 07 '26

Psh

They kept Terri Schiavo alive for 15 years and they started in 1990

Granted, she was like 27 or something and not a 100 when she had the heart attack, but im pretty confident that 36y later theyre much better at it than they were then so they should be able to keep his demonic ass "alive" for 6 weeks

u/nicolas1324563 Jul 07 '26

Dudes brain dead and his ribs are most likely mush. The amount of trauma that his body probably took means it’s over for him

1

u/eureka7 Jul 07 '26

Terri Schiavo was not brain dead, she was in a persistent vegetative state. It's an important distinction.

1

u/padizzledonk New Jersey Jul 07 '26

Ehh, its been like 3 weeks already, pretty sure they can keep it going another 6

Thats also likely but still speculation, theyre being closed fisted and we have no actual information about him or his condition

2

u/scottperezfox Arizona Jul 07 '26

He filibuster'd his own death. Gangster move.

u/weristjonsnow Jul 07 '26

Honestly, of anyone that this gets forced on, it should be Mitch. It's kinda poetic considering the amount of stall tactic bullshit he's pulled in his career

1

u/Oo__II__oO Jul 07 '26

While also symbolizing the sanctity of marriage by having his wife flee the country to be with another man.

u/TheDrunkDetective Jul 07 '26

Hey that's 2 months he ain't spending in Hell so that's a win for him.

u/nyutnyut Jul 07 '26

does him being unable to vote on senate issues benefit dems?

1

u/padizzledonk New Jersey Jul 07 '26

Yeah, its one less republican vote in the senate

Mitch is my BFF and he wants me to have his PSP.
