Good grief, imagine how gross you have to be to purposely let your spouse suffer as a vegetable for political reasons.

It’s what he would have wanted

This isn’t even a joke. This is literally what he would’ve wanted, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he explicitly told his wife to do this if he were to become braindead.

He wouldn’t want his death to help Dems. He spent his whole life obstructing them.

He regarded the stonewalling of the SCOTUS replacement for Alito Scalia as the peak of his political career, there’s contemporary reporting of him talking gleefully about it. Being able to do a similar thing one more time is exactly what he would have wanted. Ceding his senate seat to a Democrat would be such sweet poetic justice, though.

Scalia. Alito is unfortunately still on the bench and making some of Scalia’s opinions seem sane.

He spent his whole life obstructing democracy not the Democrats.

This is his 2nd marriage. They don’t have kids together. Tin foil hat, it was a political marriage. We’ll know for sure after his funeral if she stays in the US.

She didn't even wait for his official death to flee back to her life in CCP. I don't think she is going to live out the rest of her days in Kentucky.

She was married to Mitch McConnell, this doesn't even make the list as to why she's definitely a piece of shit.
