The former Senate majority leader missed Senate votes on Monday and Tuesday.

Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized after experiencing what a spokesperson described as “flu-like symptoms.”

The 83-year-old Kentucky senator checked himself into a hospital on Monday evening “in an abundance of caution,” senior advisor David Popp said in a statement.

“His prognosis is positive and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving,” Popp added. “He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”

The former Senate majority leader missed crucial Senate votes on Monday and Tuesday, Politico reported.

9. His insurance covers 'Abundance of Caution'

This taxpayer would like to deny his coverage.

[BigmanPigman]

10. Drop dead, go to hell and take the fucking moron with you!

I'd rather see him drawn and quartered AND tarred and feathered to be honest. He deserves Karma and dying is not good enough for me. That greedy, sadistic asshole has caused thousands to suffer and die needlessly for 30 years through his evil, maniacal political aspirations.

24. Would not surprise me a bit...

If he were somewhere in the dregs of the Epstein files too, sick fucker.

11. DU'ers! Shame on you! Do not rejoice in Mitch McConnel's demise.

prematurely

They're working tirelessly to restore him to health.



Does anyone have the Washington ⚡⚡ weather forecast ⚡⚡?

[Botany]

12. I want him to live and suffer for the shit he has pulled.

Piece of human filth. He fucked up America but good. In 2016 he was told of Trump’s campaign
connections to Russia and help to hide them, after that he could have voted to remove Trump from
office after J-6th and ended his political career, he blocked Obama’s right to pick a member of the
SCOTUS to have a hearing in front of the Senate, and he posed with a Confederate Flag too.

14. Thoughts and Prayers

15. Things change quickly with someone that age already

in poor health. I can dream right?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. .

[Iggo]

17. Oh.

[niyad]

19. May he receive everything he deserves.

[cstanleytech]

20. I offer him the same hopes and prayers I'm sure he offered for Ruth bader Ginsburg.

[Warpy]

21. Congressmen get admitted for the sniffles

while me and thee have to be close to death before some bean counter at an insurance company willl authorize an admission.

Oh, right, McConnell. He's 83. He needs to retire, already. He's poisoned the Senate quite long enough.

[Haggard Celine]

27. I think he's going to die there.

He's going to stare off into space one last time and then flames will shoot up through the Senate floor and claim his body and soul. Wouldn't that be sweet? It's people like him who make people want to believe in Hell. I don't believe in it myself. I think that eternal damnation isn't just punishment for sins committed over a 70-80 year period. But Mitch McConnell does make me hope that there is some reckoning in the afterlife for what we do down here. He doesn't deserve eternal damnation, but I hope it feels like it is!

[The Wizard]

29. seize his assets

[Haggard Celine]

30. Yes, that is how you get to someone like that.

In his case, he is remarkably candid about power as an end in itself. Taking away his power would probably kill him. That's why I think he'll probably croak in office, if not on the Senate floor.

[Warpy]

40. The real sons of bitches hang on forever

until they are carried out feet first. Then they get cast in bronze and pigeons shit on their heads for at last a couple of centuries.

22. IHDY?

Please tell me he is.

What’s state law on appointing a replacement? Can Beshear do it as soon as he rammed ACB to replace RBG?

[niyad]

25. Sadly, per a nasty little law the pukes rammed through, Beshear

can only appoint a puke-approved puke.

[fujiyamasan]

39. Oh yeah I forgot about that

I remember they did that specifically to protect McConnell’s seat.

Gotta give them credit on that one.

Dems should make sure to do that in states like Vermont (not wishing Bernie ill, but he is old), blue states with a GOP governor.

[iemanja]

23. The man can't serve anymore

His age and health problems have caught up with him.

[boonecreek]

26. To quote Winston Churchill:

"Nothing trivial I hope."

[Hugin]

36. Which votes was he skipping out on? n/t

[Mark.b2]

45. I'll never understand these damned fools that hang on to an office...

at his age. Pols do their constituents and parties a disservice clinging to their positions with their bony, crepey-skinned hands like this.

[Captain Zero]

46. That's not good enough, Mitch.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

47. Thoughts n prayers

48. I was so sad to see the post title.

I was hoping it would say "Mitch McConnell, Dead At 83."
