Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I agree with (possibly) none of McConnell's policies and I'll never forgive him for the un-American things he did as senate majority leader. I certainly don't care for him but that it is quite sad to see him like this. I hope he can make a graceful exit from politics and live the rest of his years in peace.
I have no empathy for people who lack it themselves.
I hope he has a stroke on camera and dies so we all can see it
This comment chain is a snapshot of humanity and I'm all for it.
As I live on through life I realize that having too much sympathy for people who are fully willing to ruin your life is a bad thing actually.
But maybe Darth Vader just needed a hug?
We should have noticed from how much he tries to hold onto people from a distance.
Now I'm gonna get all choked up.
I'm not here to judge, just have a little laugh.
Right? His body-count is fucking millions. He's an absolute monster.
I hope he dies and rots in Hell.
Fuck him.
He’s basically a movie villain anyways so unless he dies on camera he will probably be back later.
I agree it is sad but also when he was well, if he'd seen someone else in the condition he's in now and had the choice to either cure them or make $1 for himself that he didn't even need, I'm 100% convinced he'd have walked away a dollar richer.
Probably more because he would've also rifled their pockets.
no i hope he suffers and then dies
I hope he dies in a fire as painfully as possible
He literally wrote in his own book that he's the villain.
He deserves no peace.
