Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed Wednesday to keep his job as Senate Republican leader at least through 2024 and to finish his seventh Senate term, which runs through 2026, despite recent health problems.
“I have no announcements to make on that subject,” McConnell, who is 81, told reporters when asked about calls from fellow conservatives to step down as Senate Republican leader.
“I’m going to finish my term as leader and I’m going to finish my Senate term,” McConnell declared.
Mitch McConnell has personally done more harm to the people of the US than anyone since Reagan. He is one of the greatest monsters in modern American history, directly responsible for immeasurable human suffering and he does not deserve to live.
The next one needs to kill him, and I hope it happens on camera for all of us to watch, because it’s the closest tbong to justice he will ever face.
I’d him or Newt
I would rather see a peaceful transition of power. I don’t see how revenge helps anyone here.
Not the next senator, the next mine-stroke. Dying of a stroke on national tv is far better than this quivering lump of chelonian garbage deserves.
Of course. When has he ever made a decision that benefits others than himself? Never.
I don’t know what’s going through these ancient politicians’ heads but don’t they reach a point where they’ve accomplished everything in life they can and they just want to relax? Being an 80+ year old senator and dying in office sounds horrible to me.
It’s not about being accomplished for most of them anymore. It’s about not letting go of their power. They won’t admit to themselves that they’re old or the world has changed. They grip desperately to their seat and their power because they “can still do it”, and they “know what’s best”.
People who have had a senile friend or family member have seen similar stuff plenty of times. Older adults who can’t even close their hands all the way or remember that they dont have shoes on will argue and fight, sometimes violently, that they can still do something. For example, still cook with an open flame despite catching their house on fire three separate times. Or that they can still drive despite not seeing past their fingertips and not knowing what city they’re in.
There is a thing called aging gracefully that involves accepting the difficulties of getting older and passing the torch, and clearly a large number of politicians are having a serious problem with it.
The Senate is becoming the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s”
Until someone finds his phylactery there’s nothing that can be done. Liches gonna lich.
My brain doesn’t work and I’m in charge of a lot of stuff

“Over my cold dead body” McConnell declared… probably
He did, it just took him 4 minutes of dead air to get the sentence out
A corpse puppet is still a puppet after all.
The Weekend at Bernie’s parody of Mitch McConnell freezing up is a go.
Glitch McConnell, it’s time to gtfo.
He might as well, its not like he’s in charge of what he says anyway. They could hang his dead body from a gantry and flap his mouth with a string, it would be effectively the same result.
Sen. Mitch McConnell 's future ghost (RIP-Ky.) vowed Wednesday to keep
hisits job as Senate Republican leader…ftfy
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“I have no announcements to make on that subject,” McConnell, who is 81, told reporters when asked about calls from fellow conservatives to step down as Senate Republican leader.
“McConnell has noticeably aged since his bad fall in March, when he sustained a concussion and a broken rib, and he should want, for his own sake and that of his colleagues, to go out on his own terms,” the magazine’s editors wrote Aug. 31.
McConnell pointed to a letter from the Capitol’s attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan, when asked by reporters Wednesday to discuss two recent incidents when he froze while speaking to television cameras.
Monahan, citing brain MRI imaging, EEG study and consultation with several neurologists, said McConnell shows “no evidence” of suffering from a seizure disorder, stroke or Parkinson’s disease.
Asked if doctors know the precise medical reasons for freezing at press conferences, McConnell said: “What Dr. Monahan’s report addressed was concerns people might have with some things that happened to me.”
McConnell’s home-state colleague, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, however, has raised doubts about Monahan’s medical findings.

It’s an inspiration that he’s willing to push through adversity to continue serving the people.
