I have kept my mouth shut.

However how is it fun to watch a supposed human being applaud families ripped apart at the boarder. Rip healthcare away from millions of Americans during a PANDEMIC that he helped to make worse. Then denies any relief to help the jobless unless big business gets a pass on responsibility to their employees that get sick and may die when forced to return to work WITHOUT PROTECTIONS!

He has over 400 pieces of legislation tabled, the ones that the Dem house have passed. Instead of caring for those suffering, facing evictions, homeless, children starving and dead due to COVID...instead of a relief bill for them he is pushing through an insane judge that will change any decency and compassion to Americans. She will deny them heath care. Rip womens rights to a shred, Roe vs Wade gone. Civil rights and LGBT rights gone.

The other day Mitch openly laughed in the faces of every American.

far more than 45 who was just a tool, for waging a war on democracy and his fellow Americans. He has been laser-focused on destroying anything that did not advance his personal goals.

There is a very large army of victims of his malfeasance, and the only power we have is voting (which he is actively trying to undermine) and letting off a little verbal steam in his direction. I’m not advocating for the later, only saying it’s understandable.

Fact. Mitch is as responsible for 224K deaths as trump is. Projections. 250K by 11/14. One million by 02/21 if states refuse to follow guidelines. I am not okay with that.

As I said in my post I have kept my mouth shut. However blood is dripping from Mitch's hands and I can no longer be silent. If he is sick and dies so be it. As trump has said, "It is what it is."

I just can’t feel that way.

There’s a quote I can’t remember right now that I like in regard to this kind of thing. Something about reading the obituaries with satisfaction, though never wishing for a death.

Exhausted today, I’ll try to look it up tomorrow.

How is it fun to watch a fellow human being fall apart?
I don't know... it just IS! I guess there's something that's always very rewarding to see people getting what they deserve after having inflicted so much misery, pain and death on so many of the most vulnerable among us. (I must tell you though that I think the phrase "fellow human being" is being a bit too generous... if you know what I mean.)

deaths and the simple truth is that he does not do any of this out of a sense of ideological duty or conviction. To him it's about money, power, vindictiveness and gamesmanship. That's not hyperbole and if people of empathy want to blow off steam wishing him ill will then so be it.

When the American people are dying from a containable virus, struggling to put food on the table and not being able to pay their bills while Mitch literally laughs like a scumbag when confronted by Amy McGrath about his lack of leadership while American's struggle to survive during a national crisis. He's too busy pushing his agenda and judges and destroying our democracy to have any amount of decency, empathy or compassion, even for the very people who voted for him. I don't think watching my fellow citizens suffer is very funny.



Mitch McConnell is a piece of shit.

he is toxic waste stuck inside a human suit.

I have no sympathy for him, because his entire agenda is to destroy all of us, you know, the rubes, the common folk who aren't billionaires.

So, the day he dies, I will be happy. I will smile as I go about my day and I will hope that he suffered in his last moments.

I wasn't always this way. Moscow Mitch and his backup dancers have made me this way.

NO sympathy. None. Nada. Zip.

It is the exact amount of sympathy they have for the families of people who have died of Covid, who are unemployed, ill, children locked in cages....well, you get the picture. He has no sympathy for anyone who isn't paying him for it.

So, you go ahead and feel empathy for this inhuman monster. I don't. I can't.

We need to know is MoscowMitch is turning into a zombie




In the absence of a statement about what’s going on from either McConnell, who’s up for reelection on Nov. 3, or his press office, the void has been filled with speculation. Perhaps he had a fall and, as an older person, bruises easily. Blood thinners could accentuate that. He’s down a couple of horcruxes. A nurse had trouble finding a vein in his hand. The ghost of RBG is casting spells. Kidney issues. A metaphorical Halloween costume. But what’s the metaphor?

To be 100% honest, I don't care if he sufferes or not; I am indifferent. What I DO care about is seeing him out of power in whatever circumstance it takes.
