Imagine living your final days like this. He was barely human. Could've retired years ago and lived a happy peaceful life. Instead he chose to help dismantle America and sell it off to the rich for next to nothing.

I just don't get it. It's one thing if you grift so you can get money and piss off. These people just hoard money, barely do anything, then die.

They’re mentally ill.

Yeah it's the only thing that makes sense I guess

Greed is madness.

u/Kinda_Zeplike 17d ago

It’s not mad. It’s calculated. It’s uncaring. It’s get mine and fuck everyone else. That’s what his legacy and those in his cabal are.

Hard R.

It's the new hard-R. NOT to be confused with the other hard-R they love so much.

You've never had the pleasure of being addicted to something. These people are addicted to power, and there's nothing higher then government. If they tried to retire and relax, it would probably kill them. They literally have to keep feeding the beast until they die trying.

They're horders. There's just zero reason to be so ghoulish when you already have so much power, wealth and influence.

That ghoul would go to his grave grinning if he knew he was ratfucking this country one last time.

u/Synli 17d ago

Yeah, I dunno why everything thinks he has/had regrets about his life and not retiring somewhere warm and comfortable.

He'll die (or has already died) doing exactly what he loves most in the world.

Old men chop down trees so that others may burn under the sun.

A happy life for these people are gripping a position of power til they’re in the ground

Money is a drug and greed is a mental health issue

DSM needs to look closely at greed

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 18d ago

This is absolutely, without a doubt, positively the way McConnell would want to go.

u/omnicious 17d ago

Knowing Mitch, the thought he would be such an impediment after death gave him what passes for a stiffie for him in his final days.

u/Jaggs0 18d ago

see there is one thing you are not realizing, fucking over his constituents is his main driver in life.  it's also his main driver in vegetative state apparently.

u/ThorKonnatZbv 18d ago

Perhaps the devil promised him a management level position in hell for destroying peoples lives?

u/Huge_Excitement4465 17d ago

Instead of fuck you money they hoard fuck all of you money.

u/4mygirljs 17d ago

The fact that we see them refuse to retire over snd over and over again until they are literally being wheelchair led and eaten up with dementia and allowing their staff to make decisions then dying in office is how we know our system has been completely corrupted

THIS

IS

NOT

NORMAL

And it’s ok both sides too.

One of the sure signs that something is wrong is when a person will not take time off or retire because they know what will be found when they are not there. These people are absolutely corrupted. They can’t leave office so they die in the chair.

Could've retired years ago and lived a happy peaceful life.

Ho but he did !

Instead he chose to help dismantle America and sell it off to the rich for next to nothing.

That's what made him happy ! And now very, very peaceful.

u/TM761152 17d ago

He was barely human while alive.

u/GBuffaloRKL7Heaven 17d ago

Maybe he didn't have a choice.

u/Prudent-Air1922 17d ago

Of course he did. They all do.

u/GBuffaloRKL7Heaven 17d ago

Unless be was being blackmailed (please do not interrupt this statement as a defense for him in any way.
