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!

MODERATORS
If he landed on his back he's done for.
Why doesn't the guy just retire already? He's rat fucked the U.S. for decades to come long enough.
It's never enough and nothing is sacred.
Oh man I'm really sorry to hear that, is the floor doing alright!?
My favorite McConnell observation: if his hands were any blacker, he'd take away his own right to vote.
He'll do anything to have the floor.
If only someone stepped on him
Come on now, we're better than this. We shouldn't be making fun of a man while he's down.
We should be kicking him.
The only thing worse than kicking Mitch McConnell when he falls is not kicking him when he falls.
Was the turtle saved by his shell?
Unfortunately he is one of the few Republicans who stood up to Trump in any way. He’ll just be replaced by some yes-man soon enough.
He paved the way for Trump to be able to nominate three Supreme Judges. He is a gravedigger of democracy.
And Aileen Cannon
Yes. I agree. I am only defending the fact that he has blocked some insane Trump demands in the past, and will soon be gone and replaced by someone less capable and loyal to Trump.
Standing up to the guy who finished off democracy doesn't mean shit when mitch is the one who killed it 99% of the way. I hope the floor is OK.
Yeah. Doesn’t change the fact that some bootlicker will replace the turtle.
Bad take
Can he fucking go already?
Did someone already say "Bitch McConnel"?
Good. Hope everyday he falls. It can remind him of where he will sit in history. On the ground with the rest of the shit.
But was he able to get up? Or had one of those neck things for this very event?
Now Ditch Mitch is less a campaign slogan and more a nickname
What I actually need the news to tell me is if I should start buying fireworks to celebrate his death.
I would also accept a hero named Luigi primavera getting involved.
I hope he broke out his fucking teeth
