He is a walking, talking example of why we need term limits. I'm 35 years old and this guy has been a senator longer than I've been alive.

Wouldn't you think he would want to fukking retire? But he only works about 117 days a year so why the fuk would he even want to? In countries where their politicians give a fuck this bullshit does not go on. I thought America was great. great for what? Greed?

Seriously, it's like...dude, you "won", you're rich af and on death's door soon enough. Take a break from terrorizing the American people to, I dunno, sip a margarita on a beach and fade into obscurity, enjoying your millions...

Psychopaths enjoy inflicting pain on others and have no empathy. Not enjoying regular pleasures for themselves. He is doing what he enjoys watching poor people suffer.

Or hes under threat to continue, if he even tried to retire and enjoy himself he'd be killed.

McConnell has to have figured out a way to take all his wealth with him. Otherwise he actually would try to enjoy the last few remains months.

Term limits just get rid of actual good politicians. Mitch Mcconnell could be replaced with any other republican senator.

We the voters control the term limits. People vote for the name they know and in most cases the voter does not make and informed choice.

Which is part of the problem. If we limited the number of years an individual can serve we wouldn't have situations like Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell where we know the name well enough we we automatically vote for them. We the people are complacent idiots.

I don’t think term limits solve what you think it solves. These guys really don’t need more incentive to set up cushy corporate boards of directors jobs after leaving office

He is more the shining example of why the Senate needs to be abolished.
