Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he’s implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
This. Democrats are not in a cult. Punish everyone who is doing crimes.
Can you imagine a congress and SCOTUS that actually acts in the interest of the people?
I’m 40 so no, not even remotely.
I literally cannot fathom this.
Democrats are not on a cult.
“Vote Blue No Matter Who” *is textbook cultish behavior and has lead to some truly awful candidacies.
The post-Obama turn from casual social liberalism to BlueAnon party jingoism has been absolutely miserable for intra-party Democratic politics. The influx of Bill Kristol / Michael Bloomberg / Lincoln Project anti-Trump Republicans is a poison pill that’s going to do the same damage to the Dems that it did to the GOP under Bush.
I’m already seeing all the toxicity and nastiness in local Dem organizing meetings that I remember my parents complaining about as liberal Republicans during the 2000-era turn.
There’s a big difference between “always vote for the Democrat” and “always vote for Trump”.
The only reason I voted blue last time around was because my third-party vote wasn’t anti-Trump enough in 2016. And I will continue voting blue until Republicans understand what Americans truly want from their politicians, and act accordingly. I will probably be voting blue for the rest of my life, but will be pleasantly surprised if there comes a time when I don’t have to.

And the republicans will find something minor and insignificant about a democrat and make a massive deal about it as though they are equivalent issues.
Like Biden’s classified document issue compared to Trumps. Then they say, “See? Both sides are basically the same”.
Tbf, some Democrats don’t want it exposed, nor will resign when they are exposed. Some will run to their yacht to hide from angry constituents and not face intraparty opposition.
This got me curious if there were actually any recent cases of this…
Bob Menendez
Also: Joe Manchin.
Or hell be forced to stand completely still and silent while definitely not having a seizure.
No, those were strokes, not seizures.
But, but, but… dehydration 🙄
Yeah, all his blood dried up into clots.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
“You won’t like me if I get… uncivil” is the most Senate threat in the book.
Nevermind that we’ve got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.
Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
He KNOWS he’s relevant, that’s why he’s threat-begging them to look the other way.
Oh I get what you mean but I think the word is culpable LOL
Both, actually. His culpability makes him relevant to the inquiries 🤷
You are my kind of people 💯
You are right!
Fuck all the way off back to Moscow, Mitch.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a “get rich quick” scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
He’s never been willing to work for the American people. Only the elite who can pay for his services.
You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
Time to start flexing our muscles to remind these assholes of that fact.
What muscles? Congress was created by an oligarchy to serve oligarchs and has never been anything else.
Even the new deal was just a scheme to stop a guillotine party.
What muscles?
The sharp ones hanging off the rope with the little hole to stick your head into
That, to me, is more than enough reason to issue more subpoenas and investigate even further.
What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?
Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We’re…REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.
Unfortunately in the case of some.
Sincerely, a critical care nurse
Walter Reed has the absolute best medical staff and facilities anywhere in the world.
Meanwhile, one of the nurses at my family’s hospital decided it was okay to give my mother a double dose of chemo since she would be missing an appointment next month.
Congress people have access to more consistent application of medical technology, yes. But the actual tech is not different from what is (sometimes poorly) deployed elsewhere. That was my only point.
Is your mother aware that she probably needs the chemo to, you know, stay alive?
Not sure what the schedule conflict there can be here.
It was 20 years ago so I don’t really remember why. It might have been radiation, not chemo, so there was less need for consistency

Yeah, I’m aware. I’m talking about your mom missing her next scheduled dose.
Obviously.
You know, the way you would do if you want a resurgence?

Are you a language bot? Because you clearly don’t understand the conversation.
My better half works in a nursing home and… agree. Too many are kept alive long after their minds and quality of life disappear.

Nah, Cheney is kept alive with technology, like Darth Vader. McConnell is kept alive through dark magic, like Emperor Palpatine. Totally different.
Or what? He’s gonna molt another layer of skin at us? Fuck off Glitch Bitch
Did he manage to say the whole sentence, or did he freeze and need a reboot?
They just unplugged him and plugged him back in, problem solved
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Oh yeah? Well let me tell you something Moscow . . .

(Look, just retire, okay? FFS.)
I am waiting until they can’t reset one of the “blue screens of death” in his operating system. Then we get a Mitch statue that holds a platter of dildos at parties.
Beware the dead-eyed stare of Senator Screensaver.
BSOD
He’s still alive?
Sigh… yes.
I guess it depends on your definition of “life.”

Hopefully not for long.

I think you mean “rich asshole.” I guess if you have enough money, you really can suck the life out of other people…
Christians are immortal.
I’m hoping you meant “immoral” and your auto correct changed it, in which case i agree.
He also said that it is important that the Supreme Court is allowed to work independently and
Asked for comment, McConnell said
I don’t see anything in the body of the article that could be called a warning. More like whining.

And i tell Mitch to go fuck himself.
This may be too enjoyable, so let’s add…
With a running chain saw ☺️
