I’m a pacifist, so I’m inclined not to wish violence on anyone. But who am I to argue with the force of gravity?
… or is it the pull of Hell?

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!

Im a pacificist and I hope the ocean swallows him whole
Is there a video of this one, I like to save all of his strokes, falls, etc. its a hobby, like scrapbooking the demise of a festering piece of shit.
Is there video? Can we set it to the Benny hill music?
I just want a video of Moscow Mitch falling down a very long UP escalator.
The 60 minutes interview about his legacy was released a couple days ago. It's crazy he was able to sit up for that long without a spine.
I heard that his staffers achieved this by having him sit on a leaf blower during the interview, effectively making him the first "flailing arm tube man, turtoise, Moscow mule" hybrid.
Aren’t these interviews typically done at night? I saw the daylight in the background and thought it was very odd.
There's usually a main interview and then side interviews at a place of interest (workplace, crime scene, home)
Yeah, polio's a bitch... guess we'll see that back soon!
Haha, that is funny.
"It's reported that the senator landed on his back, and proceeded to roll back and forth for over 10min before his laughing constituents flipped him off his shell back onto his feet"
I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.
Oh my god! Are the stairs okay?!
I love seeing your comments. They always make me smile.
👊
Glad I could put a smile on your face! We could all definitely use more of that.
Right after he spoke up against trump and voted against hegseth? Weird. 🤔
MTG probably pushed him.
Why would someone playing Magic the gathering pay either one light/dark mana to use push when they could use Fatal push instead, which is a solid equalizer to being on the draw against aggro/mana dorks.
Also a good option on the play, but most decks would proactively cast thoughtseize (assuming both in hand)
Lightning Bolt would've been nice.
That would make me no more sympathetic to him and no less loathing of her.
Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.
McConnell is a big reason why we're here to begin with. He broke the obstruction record during Obama's administration.
However, Dems should be taking note of how exactly McConnell obstructed so effectively and start doing it themselves ASAP.
Agree, but one thing McConnell typically had, even as Minority Leader, was his people in line. I'm not sure the dems will ever be able to form a solid block as fragmented as we all are. Doesn't meant they shouldn't try though.
There were two impeachment votes, but he for damn sure could have prevented it at an absolute myriad of junctures between 2015 and now.
wake me up when they start falling out of windows.
Moscow Mitch is not needed anymore.
Yeah, his work is done.
I can already tell by the headline that my desired outcome did not happen.
Idk. Knowing that he knows he's old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he's probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.
When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often
oh no!
This sparks joy
This guy fucked up my beautiful last name with his existence. Good riddance.
This means nothing. Let me know when is phylactery is destroyed.
We sure he wasn't pushed?
In case anyone wonders what the rules on a replacement are:
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/kentucky-replace-mcconnell-beshear-00149543
"The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator’s party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul’s seats become vacant."
Pretty sure that state law was rammed through at warp speed once Beshear was elected but prior to him taking office.
Socially minded leaders who show great promise in the US: mysteriously die, get assassinated or murdered before they get too old.
Conservatives in the US: live for 100 years causing untold human misery for as long as they live
The Luigi to regular for-profit assassin ratio is way too low.
Here's hoping the next RNC is held on Mt. Niesen, Switzerland. with its 11,674 steps. 🤞
Oh no.
Anyway.
