The longest-serving leader in Senate history spared concerns about his health after freezing mid-sentence during a press conference on Wednesday.
number of Republican figures, including Donald Trump MAGA loyalists, have called on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to resign amid concerns about his health.
Retirement is still too dangerous. A retired politician can still be a figurehead or whisper in an ear. They need a public, naturally caused, and highly embarrassing death so they're out of the picture for good. No one speculating foul play, no little conversations at a party, and no one putting together conspiracy theories that they're still around and relevant.
yes, well, I was thinking more along the lines of a natural death due to their advanced age and probable health conditions. It's not really a longshot to say some of those octagenarians may not have a whole lot of time left.
There is no way this could go down that would not immediately get turned into either a new theory or used as evidence of a theory already in existence.
This is a pretty simplistic take. The thing is, Republicans enact policies that kill or ruin the lives of MANY people. If one of them dies, I fail to see how that doesn't leave the world a better place.
The comment you replied to was specifically hoping for a natural death. Nobody here is suggesting lynching politicians, that's the behavior of the right wing (jan 6, etc)
Your comment reads as typical "both sides" bullshit, with a bit of slippery slope fallacy thrown in.
First of all, the comment said they need to die, rather than retire. That's a barbaric sentiment.
His comment reads like a person who understands that the blame doesn't lie with the individuals who are born into and perpetuate this system, but rather with the system itself. Replacing a Republican with a Democrat is like shining a turd.
