More ANGRY stuff like this is needed.

(8,445 posts)I cringe when someone is giving a perfectly legitimate epic rant, and then has to throw in some ridicule about physical characteristics (McConnell's chin). I just wish they wouldn't go there. As much as I despise McConnell, and as horrible a person that he is, I don't think I've ever heard him criticizing someone's physical features.
Other than that, excellent rant and spot on.
***********
I just want to add, I'm sure most of us have at least one attribute that bothers us, and I think it's hurtful to someone's self esteem when they read criticism or ridicule that they can relate to. And yes, I do make fun of the skin tone of OrangeAss on a regular basis, and if anyone here is also orange, I want to offer my sincere apology.

(25,959 posts)But it's Mitch, so I don't care. You can probably guess who the other one is.
I know it's hypocritical, but he's so evil and has done so much damage to so many (even though he did so without making fun of their faces) that I just can't be bothered to care.
Being from the south and mindful of the stereotypes that go with it, I cringed at the "banging your sister's brother's aunt" -- that kind of thing usually bothers me a bunch, but in the end this rant was so righteous and so well deserved that I just don't care.
Lately people have been all, "I hope so-and-so gets COVID-19 and dies!" and it kind of takes me aback. I just can't quite go there. No. Tell you this, though, if Mitch fell off a cliff tomorrow I would break out Numfar's Dance of Joy with rapid abandon and not a speck of remorse.
YMMV.
This was a long winded "You are a better person than I, Rorey." Apologies for going on so.

(111,222 posts)should think about this garbage very, very carefully because if the economic powerhouses of this country are forced into bankruptcy by his backwoods, ignorant ass tribalism, his gravy train is over, his state will be back to living on possum and stuffing newspapers into their clothes for insulation and having to like it because all the social programs they use there are going to evaporate overnight.
My curse to McConnell: I don't just want you out of power and disgraced. I want you poor.

"And these are all American citizens who need help. Stop it already with this divisive bullshit."
I also love that the clip has subtitles so everyone can catch every word.
