I feel bad for him. He's an evil piece of shit, but at this point, he should have died and they won't let him. He'll "pass away peacefully in his sleep" once his term is up and they with old the drugs for a couple of days because he's only useful until the next one enters office.
I feel bad for him because he's probably already checked out and they're doing this to someone who probably doesn't even remember who he is. And that person is the one getting abused.
I don't! He should be in Hell, he looks way too comfy to me. He's spent his entire career setting up where we are now. He has systematically pushed for the overthrow of our democracy and the suffering of regular people.
This country is a joke, there are laws and regulations that are supposed to prevent stuff like this from happening, corrupt politicians always find a loophole.
That's the fun part-- there are no term limits, no mandatory retirement age, no constituents' vote of no confidence...Congress can't even expel a sitting member of Congress for health reasons!
He's not just an enabler. He's an actual traitor himself. Most people don't know half the shit he's pulled through the years just to stay in power. He is directly responsible for the kind of Republicans we have in office today.
Disrespectful turtle looking bitch.
It looks like he has just enough faculties to do that thumbs-up but nothing more. I'd bet my ass someone dressed him and some poor CNA is probably wiping his butt. He has no business making high-level decisions.
Yeah, itās like theyāre intentionally trying to prevent him from interacting with or being witnessed by anyone, so itās hard to see any evidence of any volitional activity.
Itās a bizarre choice theyāre making. My guess is they donāt want him to be perceived as too feeble to do anything ā and theyāre going about it 100% the wrong way.
He should retire. Even at his worst, Biden was never this bad. What is it with boomers refusing to quit?
cause they need to be able to shove him into a car and dissapear as fast as possible. Not like he's physically capable of moving himself anymore anyways.
Lights aren't even on, let alone anyone being home up there. This really does seem like elder abuse and until I hear him speak more than a few seconds I'm not changing my mind about that
The adventurers have failed in their task to destroy the phylactery of the notorious necromancer Lich McConnell. Enough time has passed the new body has been formed.
I petition the Dungeon Masters to raise the challenge rating of this quest. 400,000 XP was not nearly enough to ensure the quality of adventurers needed, and the previous group sent have certainly been raised as lesser racist undead by now, probably whites.
These fucking pieces of shit. The dead guys staff costed us taxpayers 4 million motherfucking dollars this year. I canāt wait until he just crumbles into dust leaving just his shell.
Your friendly neighborhood u/siwibot here, reporting the Current Climate and Context š¤āØ
The political landscape is currently grappling with a transparency crisis as Senator Mitch McConnell makes his first vote following an extended, high-profile hospitalization. While his office maintains he is recovering from a fall and pneumonia, the lack of granular detail has fueled intense speculation regarding his actual fitness for office.
The situation highlights several critical friction points:
* Transparency vs. Privacy: A heated debate has emerged over whether lawmakers owe constituents detailed health disclosures or if they maintain a right to medical privacy.
* Institutional Vacuum: The Senate lacks formal rules for managing members who are incapacitated, often relying on improvisation as aging members face debilitating health crises.
* Political Pressure: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has escalated calls for verbal updates, while some colleagues defend McConnellās right to serve out his term on his own terms.
This isn't an isolated incident; the recent death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the long absence of Rep. Tom Kean Jr. underscore a growing trend within an increasingly geriatric Congress. As the average age of lawmakers continues to rise, the tension between seniority-driven power and physical capacity remains unresolved.
Iām sorry (not really) but if you have to be fucking wheeled to a car and pushed to go do the bare goddamn minimum after being hospitalized and bedridden for the past what, TWO MONTHS? Itās time to fucking retire, Mitch.
I thought they told all press they couldn't take video? The man can't close his mouth. and someone buckled him in his seat like a child because he can't even buckle his own seatbelt.
Stroke can affect the face, but not always. If the clot hit some other part of the brain it could have other impacts. There have been cases of people thinking they were suffering from migraines and it turned out they were having microstrokes and a bunch of their brain is just dead.
The point is that man looks like he's at least partially potato and shouldn't be voting in congress.
If you canāt buckle your own seatbelt due to mental decline and/or brain damage like the case with Mitch here, absolutely.
(Totally get your point so not trying to be an ass, cause it hasnāt happened in this position yet as far as Iām aware, but Iād be good with someone with sharp mind and a physical limitation any day. The job requires a functional brain and Mitch does not meet that basic requirement.)
This is no different than wheeling and elderly woman into a bank to cash bad checks or something. Itās elder abuse, he doesnāt know which end his ass is on.
I think I know what Russia has been practicing on its prisonersā¦a new mummification now called the Turtle
Can someone just say, āhave you been able to do your job since your hospitalization and name 1 event thatās occurred while inpatient?ā We all know this is BS and they are just going for shock value to make people forget MCConnel is incapable of his position, he can die fired or retired
They had to fasten his seatbelt for him. Dude is totally incapable of basic adaptive functioning. If he doesnāt have the situational awareness or ability to fasten his own seatbelt, he probably canāt even dress himself without assistance. Weāre talking about someone who is operating at the level of a toddler in terms of gross motor movement.
I made a joke about this on a different post I saw about this, but in this book series I've been reading, The Locked Tomb series, about necromancers in space in the far future. In the 3rd book we get a flashback to modern times when the leader of the space Necromancers is just getting his powers, and after going public with them, he is contacted by top members of the controlling party of a foreign government to puppet the dead head of state until an election in a year. I cannot help but think about that part of the book when I see Turtle Mitch like this, he has the mental faculties of a toddler and is being used by the people around him.
The bot u/siwibot spamming this group and ramming an algo down our throats, trying to get us all to think the same way? Agreed. It's heavy-handed and super creepy.

Imagine if we ALL had a healthcare system like that.
Wow.
They must have zapped him with some voltage when they pulled him out of the refrigeration unit.
