When Mitch McConnell dies I will grave dance my feet bloody.

[Coventina]

I make no apologies.

He is the single most evil person in government today, and has been a long time.

He's the one that gave us our current SCOTUS.

I will be happy and make a toast to Satan for finally calling him home.

[Walleye]

1. Whenever he dies it will be too late. Major damage has already been done by him

[Coventina]

2. I know, but I will celebrate it anyway. n/t

[lastlib]

39. May I please have the first dance with you?

I will be in a joyous mood myself!

I have a bum leg, but I'll be dancing on it anyway!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

3. You and me both.

Zero sympathy for this person, who right now is receiving the finest medical care available anywhere. In the closing chapters of a life spent denying the same for everyone else, except of course the billionaires.

A REAL bastard.

[hlthe2b]

4. I get it, but I am very apprehensive as to who will replace him. He was gawd-awful, but there are

a LOT that are even worse circling like vultures.

[jcgoldie]

7. Beshear is a democrat

Do they have a rule that he has to pick a republican?

[hlthe2b]

13. Yes. The KY legislature rammed it through (I am pretty sure McConnell pushed them to do so)

But, I'm more concerned about who will take up the Minority Leader role.

[JohnSJ]

15. Yes they do

The Kentucky legislature passed a bill that requires a governor to fill a vacant Senate seat with a member of the departed senator’s party, and requires the governor to choose a replacement for the seat from a list of 3 candidates chosen by the leadership of the former senator's party.

In other words, I wouldn't expect any replacement to be better, and perhaps worse.

[unweird]

50. Is there a deadline to do so?

It would be most appropriate to McConnell the vacancy till the next election.

[LymphocyteLover]

57. Yes, that may be our next best hope

[LymphocyteLover]

56. oh for god's sake, they are all so freaking evil

[diane in sf]

59. Any replacement won't have McConnell's wife's money or his level of shrewdness.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

78. Gov Beshear has stated that it's unconstitutional...

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2023/07/28/heres-how-kentuckys-law-works-for-filling-u-s-senate-vacancies/70484359007/

Beshear said the changes violate the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which sought "to remove the power to select U.S. senators from political party bosses."

"It delegates the power to select a representative to an unelected, unaccountable political committee that only represents a fraction of Kentuckians, when a senator is supposed to represent all of us," Beshear wrote.

The 17th Amendment states that "the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct."

Beshear also wrote in his veto statement that SB 228 violates Section 152 of Kentucky's constitution, which states a governor "shall" fill appointments or vacancies in the state at large. The governor wrote that "no conditions, qualifications, or limits are placed on that appointment power" in that section of the constitution.

Hopefully, he'll be re-elected this November and will also get a chance to test that law.

[JohnSJ]

83. Do you have confidence in this "state's right" SC? I don't

[JohnSJ]

16. You are absolutely right

[iscooterliberally]

5. His legacy is that we all would have been better off had he never been born in the first place. n/t

[DENVERPOPS]

65. LOL

Perhaps that is why he and most other Republican Politicians are so intense about getting rid of abortions????????

If only McConnells and so many other Republican Politicians mothers had the sense to get one instead of turning their evil spawn loose on the world.

HW's Wife would have been another one who could have spared us all untold grief and wars if she had gotten a bunch of them.........

[steelyboo]

6. I have been saying for awhile that I hope his family has the decency to install a turnstile

at his gravesite to help maintain order, because the line of people waiting to piss on his grave is going to be ridiculous.

[ecstatic]

8. He is an evil guy

No honor. No dignity. The stunt he pulled with the supreme court was so incredibly low. He ruined an institution (even further). Everything we're seeing with that super corrupt court is his fault.

[Torchlight]

9. I'll put a dime in the juke box for the first tune for ya.

I think the whole 'newfound respect for the dead simply because they are dead' shtick was overplayed after the War of 1812. These days, it mostly comes across as little more than self-righteous sanctimony and fishing for ethical pats on the back.

[jcgoldie]

10. I agree

dead or alive... fuck him.

[lastlib]

38. I got a shitload of dimes for that jukebox.

I will be rejoicing with the rest of the world.

[ShazzieB]

79. I've never understood that rule.

When someone who is evil dies, that doesn't erase all the evil they did in their lifetime. Are we supposed to suddenly start lying about them? Seems pretty pointless to me.

[JuJuChen]

11. what scares me is the MAGA psycho that'll replace him

[Aristus]

12. I think you will be joined in that by a joyous flash mob.

Every podiatrist within driving distance afterwards is going to get rich.

I'm sure there are those who would be offended that so many are looking forward Turtle Boy biting the big one. But human beings have a responsibility to live their lives in a way that would not inspire one to dance on their graves. He wildly abrogated that responsibility. He has no one but himself to blame.

[Mr.Bill]

35. Hell, they had a grave dancing

party at the White House when RBG passed away..

[roamer65]

14. They need to buy better batteries.

Must be some cheap off brand.

Get some Duracells.

[claudette]

17. That is

truly disgusting. Sounds like something a magat would say about a Dem. Shame

[bluesbassman]

21. No, MAGAts say things much worse and then dox the deceased's relatives.

But let’s give you the benefit of doubt. Here’s a challenge for you. Say ONE thing about Mitch that shows he’s worthy of anything more than absolute contempt.

[claudette]

22. He's a

fellow human being. Shame on those who have no compassion for another’s pain

[Katcat]

26. And?

What do you think he would say if he heard that you were sick because of his policies? I’m pretty sure he’d laugh and say you should have planned better

[claudette]

30. I'm not him

And he’s not me. Shame

[bluesbassman]

28. Wrong, he was at some point, early in life, in possession of humanity.

Through his actions though he has shown himself to be completely devoid of humanity. I don't wish him to suffer, like the thousands he has caused to suffer through his evil actions, but I will celebrate his passing as one less malignant monster in the world to continue spreading pain, suffering and chaos.

[claudette]

33. Rationalization

that sounds like a magat’s thinking. Don’t lower yourself.

[OMGWTF]

34. Why? Moscow Mitch doesn't care about anyone else's pain. He is the cause of so much pain.

Congrats on being a bigger person by having compassion for this miserable SOB. When it comes to mofos like McConnel and Trump, I don't forgive, and I don't forget.

[claudette]

37. I believe

in karma and it will not pretty for those who rejoice in another’s pain. . As much as I hate Dump, (the only person that I hate), I do not wish him any harm. I just wish he would get out of the news and politics

[NoRethugFriends]

54. Fuck Karma. It's bullshit. Just coincidences

Do you a give a damn about the countless deaths and injuries he has caused during his tenure?
We don't need "be nice" lectures.

[claudette]

76. Can't believe this

Shame

[Sky Jewels]

77. I agree. There is zero evidence and zero proof that Karma,

reincarnation, afterlives, Heaven, Hell, god/s, or any other supernatural beliefs or creatures have any basis in reality. They're just things that humans tell themselves to feel better, because life can be difficult and people can be evil assholes. But the evil assholes (like Mitch) don't necessarily get the punishments they deserve.

[wnylib]

66. Well, I do not rejoice over his illness.

But I will not mourn his death, either.

I am happy that his harm has been limited by losing his position as majority leader. I am relieved that his ability to do further harm even as minority leader is limited.

Objectively, the end result is the same whether his inability to do further harm to people is due to political defeat or to inability to function.

[lastlib]

40. Josef Stalin was a "fellow human being," too....

I don't think anybody misses him, either.

[Sky Jewels]

45. Yeah, and let's not lower ourselves to be glad that Hitler offed himself.

We wouldn't want to stoop to their level.

[calimary]

47. I get that, claudette. But it's hard to divorce the man from all the damage he's done.

Damage to innocent people who never deserved it. Damage to rights and protections we ALL deserve, as fellow human beings. His heartlessness and devious scheming and manipulation caused difficulty, pain, and loss - and ALL of it unnecessary.

[claudette]

80. I'm really

Last edited Wed Aug 30, 2023, 09:21 PM - Edit history (1)

astounded that Christians (or persons of any other religion or even atheists) could have such convoluted ideas about what is moral. It makes me sad.

I’m certainly not condoning any of his (or anyone else’s) bad behavior or saying they cannot be held accountable legally or politically. I just think it’s better to empathize with someone’s pain and leave the judgement of his soul to a higher spirit.

I’ll leave it here. I’m just surprised that so many here are angry at magats who are truly mean and yet they think it’s ok to be like them.

[calimary]

82. Fair enough.

Some of us can show genuine charity and kindness and non-judgmentalism across-the-board, and some of us can’t. I’m afraid I don’t always listen to my better angels as often as I should. But then again, his bad side hasn’t personally hit (or injured) me or one of my loved ones as it has others.

[niyad]

84. uhhmm, claudette?? In case you had not noticed, many of the people on this

board are NOT christians. And, believe it or not, christianity is not the only ethical and moral code in the world. What utter egotism. And, I have news for you. Many of those magats are not MEAN, they are xenophobic, hateful, evil, and out to DESTROY us, to, in many cases, MURDER US, and this country, so spare us the self-congratulatory platitudes.

We have a war to win, and our world to save.

[Coventina]

86. Thank you. I did not trust myself to respond.

I've already had a post removed regarding McConnell, so I don't want to risk another one on his sorry ass.

[niyad]

87. It took me a second, believe me!

[claudette]

90. You can try

to rationalize the mean spirited posts in any way you choose - christian or not. If you want to be like the magats - go right ahead. I refuse to lower myself.

[niyad]

92. Even amending your post as you did AFTER my response does not obviate

anything I wrote. But keep trying. I am most amused.

[claudette]

94. I'm not

amused at all about the horrible posts in this thread. I am disappointed. Bye

[niyad]

95. And yet, you came back repeately to tell everyone so. How is the air up there?

[claudette]

96. Fine

Just remember this thread when magats throw the same disgusting words at one of our Dems who is in physical distress. No different from the horrible posts here. Congratulate yourselves for following their bad example

[niyad]

97. FFS, they do it all the time. I must say, I am often impessed by those bearing

up under the staggering weight of their righteousness. Such an increible burden tto be the conscience of the morally deficient multitude.

[claudette]

98. "They?"

I’m assuming you mean magats? You can insult me all you want but I will NEVER want to be on the same level as magats no matter if they “do it all the time.” Bye

[niyad]

99. Interesting, I am suddenly thinking of Lady Violet.

[niyad]

48. Many of us are fighting for our lives, and the life of this country BECAUSE

of that evil traitor. And we do not apologize for not living up to some expectations of ethical behaviour. Check my avatar. We are allowed to defend ourselves when attacked, no apologies needed, or issued.

[TxGuitar]

53. He had zero compassion for anyone else's pain

so too bad. I wish him the worst.

[wnylib]

61. McConnell is human? Who knew?

I'd have sworn that his parents were both demons. He's more evil than The Omen's Damien.

[Conjuay]

88. fellow human being?

Betcha he ain’t


Two times he did his ZOMBIE stall in public.
Just look at him!
My theory is that he is a zombie

[Snooper9]

101. 8.1 Billion people on this planet

Some of them are pure shit

[Arazi]

62. Girls and women are dying right now because of him

His actions with SCOTUS are directly responsible and he has ZERO remorse.

He’s permanently maiming girls *right now* who are getting torn to shreds trying to deliver unwanted babies. He has deliberately inflicted serious mental and physical pain to millions, some of whom will never recover.

Fuck that guy

[Frasier Balzov]

18. It will be hard not to rejoice at his absence.

He really hurt the nation with his court confirmations whenever he had influence or control.

I'm trying to remember if he was ever a help to legislation I favored.

Maybe I'm too mad about the courts to remember anything good.

Wait! His sensible words on January 6! There was a glimmer of respect for him in that moment, which quickly faded.

[Freddie]

19. Elvis Costello said it best

“And when they finally put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down”

[Deuxcents]

23. 👏

[TxGuitar]

55. Channeling Bob Dylan

Masters of War:

"And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
In the pale afternoon

And after you're lowered
Into your death bed
I'll stand over your grave
Till I'm sure that you're dead"

Agree with both sentiments.

[Martin Eden]

85. Angels wanna wear my red shoes

I said I'm so happy Mitch will die
When he drops dead
They'll put in another guy

[kairos12]

20. In line behind me.

[OMGWTF]

24. Moscow Mitch Broke America

"By rights, McConnel's tombstone should say that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I'll add a second line: That he broke America. No man had done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. He has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power." -- Dana Milbank

[claudette]

25. Dump

Did that

[pnwmom]

27. The next one may be even worse. I'm not hopeful. nt

[Artcatt]

29. I wouldn't pick my nose over that traitorous coward

[Recycle_Guru]

31. I won't go that far, but I will rejoice

[twodogsbarking]

32. I have no call in his fate but the world will be a better place when he is no more.

[RedSpartan]

36. It is a bucket list item of mine to piss on his grave. Literally.

[Bird Lady]

41. yes I want to do that too

unfortunately I would have to squat and I'm not sure I want to get that close.
I think we need a twofer trump and Mitch at the same time. The world would celebrate, could we make
it a holiday.

[NowISeetheLight]

42. Mixed Feelings

As a human being I will feel sorry for his family. As for him I won't shed any tears.

[NoRethugFriends]

58. His family (Elaine Chao) sucks. Screw her.

She abused her office.

https://www.newsweek.com/mitch-mcconnells-wife-elaine-chao-abused-office-help-family-firm-china-business-watchdog-found-1573653

A government watchdog has alleged that Elaine Chao, former transportation secretary and wife of Republican Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, abused her power while in office. The watchdog said that she should be prosecuted for it.

An inspector general overseeing the Transportation Department announced its findings in a 44-page report released on Wednesday. The report accused Chao of a dozen instances of using her office's staff to conduct personal tasks and work related to promoting the Foremost Group, a New York-based shipping business owned by her father and sister. The business does extensive business within China, according to the Associated Press.

[wnylib]

67. That would be a world wide celebration,

minus Russia and Saudi Arabia, of course.

[Warpy]

43. That's going to be one crowded gravesite

even if everybody is en pointe. I hope they don't cremate the old buzzard, that would reduce the dance floor to nearly nothing.

I'm not anticipating grave dancing, I just hope the old asshole is forced to retire.

[dflprincess]

46. Makes me think of the "Is Thatcher Dead Yet?" site

For years it said "No, check back later"

I checked back when she died and it had been updated to "Yes and she's not coming back. Tell us how you're celebrating"

With links to Facebook pages about the reactions and celebrations. Gotta give the Brits credit, no crocodile tears or phoney tsk-tsks of "Don't speak ill of dead"

Maybe we need one of these for McConnell and/or Trump (Bush II and Cheney deserve them as well.)


This was my favorite reaction on the Thatcher sites

When I realised Margaret Thatcher was dead, I did a double fist pump and shouted, "Fucking brilliant!"

Everyone around me was disgusted, and looking back, I suppose it was out of order.

Especially as I was the first paramedic at the scene.

[JohnnyRingo]

49. You can dance with Merrick Garland.

He'll already be at the hop.

[budkin]

51. Same... not a shred of dignity for a guy who didn't have a shred himself

He fucked our country for at least a century.

[soldierant]

52. I agree in principle, but

I don't feel that now is the time. He is the only check on the MAGAts in Congress who has any actual power just at the moment. I can hold out until 2025.

[LymphocyteLover]

60. what makes me ill is all the presumably MAGATs on XTwitter who are lumping Biden and mcConnell

together as incapacitated senile oldsters, when in reality Biden is quite healthy and sharp as a tack... also Biden is not evil like McConnell

[BonnieJW]

63. Huffpost.com is reporting

that Mitch just did it again today in Kentucky.
Froze

[Maru Kitteh]

64. I don't believe in evil or hell or Satan. But in Mitch's case, I'd happily make an exception.

Dance away! I'll get the band together.

[drmeow]

68. I will dance harder and longer

if his death is painful.

[Bengus81]

69. Voted over and over and over and over to stop the ACA from becoming law

When that didn't work he voted to repeal it over and over. Voted against a child health care protection act.

He didn't give a rats ass about how many could die from no health insurance.

[question everything]

70. Lucky you

Last time I expressed similar sentiments, not about anyone in particular, my post was removed...

[byronius]

71. An honorable post for such a dark soul.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

72. I would piss on his grave. . .

. . . but I hate to stand in lines.

[Kennah]

73. I'll buy a beer, visit the grave, show up with a full bladder, and leave with an empty bladder

[Earth-shine]

75. I hope you have asparagus with your dinner.

Beer piss is usually very dilute.

[Kennah]

102. Researching asparagus recipes. Yummy stuff.

[MistakenLamb]

74. Did so when Reagan died

And Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson

[Baltimike]

81. DON'T DO THAT!!! DON'T DO THAT AT ALL

You could really hurt your feet.

Pop a cork instead!!

[Brainfodder]

89. I wish him nothing but agony, lots and lots and lots of AGONY!

I hope he is already pissing blood by the quart.
I hope he has really painful cramps and migraines.
I hope he has IBS and vomits up to 666 times a day.
I hope it hurts for him to sit down and stand up.
I hope he dies alone.

Got the picture?

[electric_blue68]

91. Oh, gosh, no - you might get a bad infection! Just dance till you feel like plopping in a chair...

Someone can have a folding beach chair ready for you, and a cool drink of your choice! 👍

I think forget with the very destructive, but sometimes big clown show that is drumphf, how awful McConnell is.

[B.See]

93. As I've written elsewhere, if either he OR Trump kicks the bucket

I'll DANCE IN THE STREETS.... and I don't dance.

[Blue Owl]

100. K&R

[Solly Mack]

103. I wouldn't stop you.

I will play the music for you.

[meadowlander]

104. Every time my basic sense of humanity and compassion tries to extend to him

I remember him gloating over the blatant hypocrisy of blocking Merrick Garland's Supreme Court seat and then ramming through Amy Coney Barrett like a week before the election.
