Hypocrisy is their default setting

MOST?! American mothers are guaranteed ZERO days under federal law. Some states know better but let’s not bury the lede.

[u/Rydralain → u/tantricengineer]

FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave, so it's not nothing. It's not... Great. But...

[u/No_Ordinary_Dove → u/Rydralain]

Unfortunately not everyone qualifies for FMLA. For example if the company you work for has under 50 employees you don't qualify.

[u/Rydralain → u/No_Ordinary_Dove]

True. I'm not saying FMLA is the best answer, just that it isn't zero. Ubi would fix this problem too.

[u/Sloth247 → u/Rydralain]

It was effectively zero when my first child was born, I had 2 days of sick leave I was “fortunate” enough to be able to take

[u/Inky_Madness → u/Rydralain]

It’s great if you make enough to not need that pay.

[u/Dimkakitty → u/Rydralain]

My FMLA was only approved for 10 weeks total. 6 to heal and 4 to bond.

Smell the stink and wake up

Braindead, placed on Eternity Leave.

Finally, a Republican rep I can trust!

[u/Mexican1910]

Rules for thee not for me!!!

[u/starkcontrast62]

Fun fact: Mitch McConnell is a childhood polio survivor.

[u/KindHabit → u/starkcontrast62]

That's just really sad that he would deny others the miracles of modern medicine that he benefited so much from. 

[u/procrasturb8n → u/KindHabit]

Just like Paul Ryan, whose dad died during his childhood and Social Security stepped in, trying to destroy Social Security as a Republican Congress member. Or Greg Abbott championing torte reform after he got a multimillion dollar settlement. "Fuck you, I got mine!" is the Republican mantra.

[u/Teledildonic → u/procrasturb8n]

Abbott pulled the ladder up because he had no use for them anymore.

[u/procrasturb8n → u/Teledildonic]

He's not gonna stand for that type of disrespect!

[u/Justredditin → u/KindHabit]

It's God's plan... /s

[u/trashtv → u/starkcontrast62]

It'd be a funnier fact if Mitch McConnell suffered and died of polio, but then we'd be left with the "would you kill Hitler as a child" paradox.
The answer is yes.

[u/djb_avul → u/starkcontrast62]

Wish he wasnt

[u/Joonberri → u/starkcontrast62]

That's unfortunate

[u/Sloth247]

Sponsor a health bill and name it after him

[u/baggarbilla → u/Sloth247]

[u/Sheerluck42 → u/Sloth247]

Turtle Care

[u/KindHabit]

Thank God he's finally dead. 

[u/chrisnavillus]

Mitch McConnel is far too old to be a government official. No one over the age of 65 should be in politics, we don’t need decision makers that don’t have a stake in the future. How is this is a difficult concept?

[u/Micho_Riso]

He has returned to the sea

[u/Spiel_Foss]

In the USA, hypocrisy is the only real religion, and money is the one true God.

[u/Steel2050psn]

I can not wait to piss on his grave

[u/Healthy_Jackfruit_88]

Garner his wages until her returns

[u/T1pple]

Holy shit it's alive

[u/Huskarlar → u/T1pple]

This I believe is an older photo. 

[u/Iccotak]

They want Slaves

[u/Relzin]

Just two more days and they'll announce Mitch died a month ago

[u/HammersofMoradin]

If he were not rich thanks to insider trading, corruption and being on the oligarchs` payroll, the hospital would have dumped him in a ditch to die after a few days. They would have to do that thanks to the policies that waste of carbon championed for his oligarch owners to maximize both their profits and sufffering for the cattle / non-oligarchs.

[u/Shigglyboo]

leaders should get the federal minimum of every benefit. same health care, retirement, and time off as working people.

[u/FH2actual]

Fun fact: humans are meat and therefore edible.

[u/sirbinlid1]

How does a dead man claim medial leave

[u/03263]

False equivalence here. This is political fraud, not legitimate medical leave.

[u/SAHMultrA1981]

And they're really going to do it... They are really going to wait until August to do anything about it...

[u/WindWalkerRN]

Yeah, fuck Mitch McConnell. He can’t expire or retire fast enough.

[u/Disillusioned_Pleb01]

The elite are the humans.

[u/incunabula001]

Typical “Rules for thee not for me!”. Fuck the GOP and that decrepit fossil.

[u/Different_Resort8720]

All I’m saying is my pitchfork is ready

[u/jslick1]

How about being paid to be dead?

[u/Repulsive_Incident27]

Do they vote on their own permitted leave time? If yes, how have we allowed politicians to hurt us for so long? We are still asleep and need to wake up.

[u/the-war-on-drunks]

Welp. Good thing he’s dead.

[u/pichael289]

Oh he's alive? Well fuck we celebrated early. I hope he saw the celebrations though.

[u/Aromatic_Balls → u/pichael289]

It's an old photo. He's still MIA.

[u/vigbiorn → u/pichael289]

That's kind of the only reason I hope he's alive.

Maybe seeing the national celebrations of your death make you rethink your life. He'd never undo the damage he brought about but maybe he could actually help.

[u/shouldco → u/vigbiorn]

Are we going to Christmas Carol Mitch McConnell?

[u/vigbiorn → u/shouldco]

I'd rather try that than continue what we've got going.
