    This was already happening…

    I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.

    They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn’t even attempt to explain what was happening.

    There’s an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.

      Sheesh, I hate that we’re at the point where I feel bad for Mitch McConnell. This is elder abuse.

          Ya, but that’s not happening to him, it’s happening to someone who is probably no longer him and is just a frightened old man like any other. I wish bad things upon the past Mitch who was aware and doing terrible shit, but this isn’t him anymore.

          It’s important to remember that an outlet for rage rarely aligns with our usual morals.

          So instead, let’s fight elder abuse while ensuring future generations understand that this man was a fucking nazi who brought nothing but shame to the nation and state he swore to serve, while enriching himself.

      It has happened in the past with Feinstein, Hatch and numerous others. Term limits need to be in place. Its a sad state of affairs
