    He died as he lived, usurping the rule of law and stealing power for his fascist party

      Having his twitching, lifeless carcass hooked up to a machine to keep it functional enough to be used as a ghoulish puppet to subvert democracy one last time.

      Maybe for an encore he can have his corpse injected with Ebola and launched at a food bank lineup from a catapult.

        You are talking about a person, have a little respect. We can completely disagree on politics, but not on ones health.

        Your message really is disgusting.

    Ya know. When I was a kid, I was horrified reading a reveal in a book where the queen was actually a corpse that was being puppeted around to hold off a succession war.

    Every once in a while I think about it again

    Curiously, Feinstein was incoherent and had to be wheeled into committee in a wheelchair for a while before she finally expired, still in office.

    We’ve seen countless times that officials, whether elected or appointed, will cling onto power until we pry it from their cold dead hands.

    We really need to implement age caps as well as term limits, since we can’t count on elected officials being pressured into retirement by their own peers, nor can we count on the voters primarying them since it means losing the incumbent advantage.

    Sadly, as with much of political reform, the status quo serves those who are in office, so there’s not much motivation to implement such legislation, and the public is not great at organizing over secondary matters.

      that wont happen, SCHUMERS LIKE 80+? and nobody is batting an eye of having him removed.

      feinstein had shingles encephalitis, which is quite uncommon. get your shots if you 50+, its more severe for older people if they get shingles. they did this with another gop, she was a memory care facility, but they kept it secret(i think it was a GOP house member)

    I personally don’t think he’s dead. I think it’s far more likely that he only technically alive on life support.

    I remember a few years ago, the Japanese PM, Shinzo Abe, resigned from his position due to a chronic health condition that was worsening. He resigned of his own accord and made a public statement saying that he’s stepping down because he did not want to make any major political or policy mistakes that would compromise the welfare of the nation. He was only 65 at the time, but still had the humility to recognize the weight of his position.

    Meanwhile, we have 80+ year old dinosaurs that are brain dead and on life support that are still clinging on to power to their very dying breath regardless of the harm it does to the nation. Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Clarence Thomas, Maxine Waters, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and the list goes on and on. It’s time for all of them to fuck off. Even Bernie Sanders needs to go. It’s time to step back and enjoy retirement.

    These parasites are literally the reason why we’re in the mess we are in today. Their greed and selfishness is so extreme that it’s like a disease. The dinosaurs that did go extinct like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Dianne Feinstein ended up leaving headaches for everybody else because they just couldn’t step down gracefully. It’s fucking embarrassing that we’re even allowing these leeches to stay in power as a country. It’s embarrassing that people are seriously wanting age limits for their politicians because these ghouls are soulless. When you look at actual civilized countries like Japan, you could only dream of what could be here.

    If he’s effectively brain dead he could be on a ventilator. Some 1-in-a-million chance of recovery that they’re using to keep him ‘alive’ to hold the seat

      I would hope they’re trying to keep him alive because he is a human being and that is how you treat other human beings, regardless of who they are or what their opinions are.

            You’re barking up the wrong tree pal. You might as well be asking me to show some sympathy for Hitler or his family.

            I hope he died scared and alone and that it was painful.

              I hope you’re joking, frankly I don’t even know who we’re talking about, but recognizing someone is a human being is a basic human right.

              If you want to go against all moral conventions by all means do that, but don’t expect anyone to sustain you.

              This is not showing sympathy for Hitler, this would be saying Hitler was already sick and dying and still feeling happy about him dying anyway. Have a little compassion for your fellow humans.

                See, I knew you didnt know who he was. I dont have the time to educate you on the two decades of racist, manipulative, and evil shit that this man did in congress (or just how gleefully he did it all) but if you want just one person to blame for the state of the world you can look to Mitch McConnell and find at least 6 ways he made it all possible.

                I will celebrate his death.

                McConnell helped put the most racist ass black man in the Supreme Court seat of a civil rights legend and thats just the cherry of fuckery he’s responsible for.

                Fuck high ground morality.

                  I do not care, it can be the most despicable person and I’d hope something happens so that he stops doing despicable things, not his death. I am not happy of a person dies, as much as I could hate such a person. What you wrote is a really terrible message, I hope that is not your actual opinion. If that is the case, have a coffe and think about it; smoke a joint or take some psychedelics, those tend to help connect with humanity.

        You benefit the Jeffrey Epstein Class when you bring this nonsense talk about saving absolutely every single human being in the world. I used to be in your position a few years ago, but I already learnt that killing evil is an OBLIGATION even the Christian Bible encourages everyone to have in mind.

        The Jeffrey Epstein Class monopolized violence. They allow themselves to kill millions of people just like you with a fat smile on their faces. They successfully convinced you that killing “is an absolute wrong that should never be done,” but they’re wrong. Our bodies, our cells, they are constantly making DNA errors. Those cells with a damaged DNA have to kill themselves with Apoptosis, otherwise, the immune system does it, it goes and kills it. Why? Because if they allow it to continue, it’ll divide uncontrollable, creating a tumor that only leeches off our body and slowly kills it in a very painful and slow way. The planet Earth, or Humanity, is no different to a human body. If Nazis won and became the influence of the world, Humanity would probably be such a racist, intolerant and disgusting race that eradicated certain cultures entirely, Jews being one of them, and I hate Zionists, but what about you?

        You rather keep protecting those cancers that are killing millions of innocent people with their actions, decisions and even hands? You think it’s worth for Humanity to waste so much time and innocent lives to “save” those irredeemable monsters? Why? Why do you want us to pay millions of innocent lives just to save an old asshole that has nothing creative, fun or worthwhile to share anymore? No art, no personality, nothing of real value to us. He only brought pain, suffering, injustice, and so much death and destruction.

        You are not morally superior NOR responsible for this stance you carry. You’re actually evil for protecting those monsters. People like you have never faced true evil in their lives, this is why it’s so easy for you to speak like this. You don’t look wise, superior or like a divine entity if you forgave your daughter’s killer or rapist, or a man who killed your entire family while laughing, and celebrated it for decades. Nah, you’re just a naive child or something equally ignorant that is only going to slow down Humanity’s growth.

          I’m just saying that hoping someone in a hospital bed dies is not nice. Does it make a big difference whether he dies or survives for you Jeffrey Epstein class?

            This color of yours is so fucking disgusting, weak and cowardly, I am not interested in meeting you anymore. You are someone who benefits pedophiles and killers in power.

            They look at you with a smile right now. “Look at this guy. Defending us. We need more people like him discouraging everyone from ever touching us, so we can continue putting our dicks inside these poor little girls we kidnapped, in peace and harmony. So we can continue passing laws that leech more money off the working class, essentially forcing them to live in a “luxurious jail:” their own home, with the bare minimum nutrition and entertainment possible so they don’t revolt and we keep making a profit we use to hire more bodyguards that will give their lives for ours. And people like ranzispa, who do an amazing job at convincing people that killing us is wrong. Oh wait, I came inside this little girl, popped her cherry just like Trump and I, Jeffrey Epstein, did to Katie Johnson, but at least we did not sent her to get her head blown with a bullet and then buried like most girls! We can have a heart too! We can be human, trust us!”

            Listen, you dumbfuck. Have you ever read at least the words of the victims in your life? Have you for example, at least read Katie Johnson’s lawsuit against Donald and Jeffrey? The things they did to her? Here, have a glimpse of the shit you are helping protect and defend, you disgusting monster:

            This is not even the tip of the iceberg. This is still “soft and light” compared to other shit they have done. You deserve no respect, only humiliation for showing so much passion for such a dumbass idea like “we should not kill evil.” Fuck off. You are a demon in disguise. The only shit that can redeem you right now is if you at least change your idea to “they are still human, victims of the randomness and cruelty of this universe, but that doesn’t mean we must tolerate them. They must go to jail, permanently.” If you’re so afraid of killing, at least jail them permanently, which is essentially the same shit. It’s torture in a tiny ass room, isolation, cockroaches right next to you, the toilet too, the smell, everything is shit in jail, you know that, but it is what they deserve.

                Are you mentally challenged or something? You defend evil demons by discouraging everybody from killing them. Period.

                You are not morally superior or responsible for carrying an idea like “killing is always bad.” That’s fucking naive shit. And shut the fuck up about punching me you clown, you already proved to be a little bitch who cannot punish a massive pedophile, rapist or killer like Trump or Jeffrey. Like, shut the fuck up, I speak like this in person to people like you, because they fucking deserve it. That included my cousin, who became a Trump supporter just because he promised him bitcoin would raise in price. He lowkey sold us, his family, friends and country, Mexico, for less than 50,000$ MXN pesos, not even 3 months of rent; shit he could make in one month because he graduated as a doctor in ITESM, but no, thanks to Capitalism and the people in power, also he doesn’t have the incentive or opportunities to build a decent life.

                Yet, here you are, trying to convince us to adapt to these absolute shitty conditions and system instead of doing anything about it like EATING THE RICH. Shut the fuck up and EAT DIRT.

    I think the actual process is lost on a lot of people. Apparently there is no process to remove McConnell while he’s alive unless he resigns. Meaning if he’s on life support there’s nothing anyone can do. His seat just remains as is. I honestly think no one knows what’s going on with him. Apparently according to sources he’s been in a coma for 3 full weeks.
