The article itself gets even better, and I especially loved this line:

At press time, McConnell had reportedly died after hearing the song “Happy” by Pharrell.

Great final sentence on that one, too!

At press time, the elderly senators reportedly realized they also used the same brand of super absorbent diapers.

Lmao that’s a good one. Can’t wait till this old POS is out of office.

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

that aint enough. i can't wait till the gates of hell open up for this guy

[–] Repossess6855@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree but I’m paranoid about what I say publicly about government officials. Very sad reality we live in.

[–] Monkeyhog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck that cowardly bullshit. I hope he dies and I hope its a painful death. I'm not ashamed to wish death on a pile of shit.

[–] BaconIsAVeg@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As punchable as his face is, I always remember that he's the consequence of Kentucky voters. This dude could die tomorrow and literally nothing will change for the better.

[–] ColonelSanders@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Then all of those people who voted for him can do the same thing.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

I don't think Satan wants to take this guy in hell, along with Kissinger. He's probably afraid that they'll cause mutiny amongst the demons and take away his powers.

Can we set an age limit on public office? You cannot tell me with a straight face that people that have been in office longer than a lot of their constituents have been alive are in touch with what is actually needed for their communities.

"People born in a world that no longer exists should not have total control of the modern world"

But funny. I don't like to wish ill on anyone, but if this is what it takes to get him out....

I just can't understand Kentuckys fascination with this man. I mean, WV had our own fossil in Robert C Byrd, so I kind of get it. But RBC never did the damage that MC did. Obstruction was his game and he ~~was~~ is good at it.

[–] Jarmer 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lexington and Louisville hates him. It's just everywhere outside of those two blue dots LOVES him. The racism is good for them, the hating on poors is good with them, the homophobia is great, etc etc etc. Here in Lex we've been campaigning Ditch Mitch for YEARS (maybe a decade now lol) but the rest of the state keeps electing him every time.

I just wish that fucking horrible human being would just die already. The earth would be a lot better off.

Fair enough.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would have though most of the state was also poor as dirt. It's just age old tactic of keeping the poor blaming each other, so they never think to look up and see the source of the problem.

[–] Jarmer 3 points 1 year ago

Lexington & Louisville are the only two cities in the state of any size (and small ones at that), and both are thriving wonderful small southern towns with lots to do, arts, culture, absolutely gorgeous land, hiking trails, etc etc etc... Both have a LOT of money in the cities too. Lexington also has a booming gay scene and has had for decades. We elected an openly gay mayor a LONG time ago, which for the south is a pretty big thing.

I've admitted to myself that there are people I just kinda do wish ill opon. Maybe not death or grievous bodily harm for most people, but there are people that when I think about them waking up and finding out that a swarm of birds shat on their car... Well it just tickles my pickle.

My empathy tends to run low about people that I dont know much about, but that I know hurt me and the people I care about. I think it would be ironic and vindicating that if during a live meeting of the board for Black Rock, the building they were in collapsed because of poor maintenance funding.

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gladly wish a long and painful death on any human that exploits his fellow humans to get stupid rich. Not talking about folks that contribute to society and get paid for their job, like doctors/lawyers/etc. talking about the CEO’s, investment douchebags, basically the majority of the financial sector.

I wish those folks get superaids and die bleeding from their assholes screaming in agony

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, especially the people doing shit like fighting against nationalised healthcare just so they can continue to make obscene profits - I really could watch them suffer for hours without once even considering helping them

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

can't understand Kentuckys fascination with this man.

It's the R next to his name.

[–] SantaClaus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

From one human to another, I don’t wish Senator McConnell any harm. From a policy standpoint, my opinion is that he is an absolute excrement of a politician for whom basic human dignity for the low- and middle income households is very, and I mean very VERY low on the list of priorities, if it’s on there at all. I hope he retires from politics very soon.

[–] FruitfullyYours@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I knew the memes would be coming after this moment

[–] Saneless@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I said his conscience broke through and he saw, as a single point in time, everything he ever did to make everyone's life worse

But this is funnier

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rupert Murdoch and Mitch McConnell are the 2 people that I think when they die , the whole world is going to celebrate. Feel free to add more evil people to this list.

Pat Robertson was a big one for me

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I can’t believe Henry Kissinger is still alive… I’ll be very happy when this fucker dies.

[–] d4rknusw1ld@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The only problem is it’s probably realistic

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember when the print edition used to be free on the DC Metro.

[–] pendragon11@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Those were the days! Man, I had forgotten all about that

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As a person living in Europe, who's that guy?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The leader of the Republican party in the Senate, and a very big part of why the US is currently drowning in fascism.

[–] waitmarks@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

a parasite some people may refer to as a Senator.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Tots and pears...
