The Onion takes the shot and hits hard. - Lemmy.world

That’s dark…

But funny. I don’t like to wish ill on anyone, but if this is what it takes to get him out…

I just can’t understand Kentuckys fascination with this man. I mean, WV had our own fossil in Robert C Byrd, so I kind of get it. But RBC never did the damage that MC did. Obstruction was his game and he was is good at it.

Lexington and Louisville hates him. It’s just everywhere outside of those two blue dots LOVES him. The racism is good for them, the hating on poors is good with them, the homophobia is great, etc etc etc. Here in Lex we’ve been campaigning Ditch Mitch for YEARS (maybe a decade now lol) but the rest of the state keeps electing him every time.

I just wish that fucking horrible human being would just die already. The earth would be a lot better off.

I would have though most of the state was also poor as dirt. It’s just age old tactic of keeping the poor blaming each other, so they never think to look up and see the source of the problem.
Lexington & Louisville are the only two cities in the state of any size (and small ones at that), and both are thriving wonderful small southern towns with lots to do, arts, culture, absolutely gorgeous land, hiking trails, etc etc etc… Both have a LOT of money in the cities too. Lexington also has a booming gay scene and has had for decades. We elected an openly gay mayor a LONG time ago, which for the south is a pretty big thing.

I’ve admitted to myself that there are people I just kinda do wish ill opon. Maybe not death or grievous bodily harm for most people, but there are people that when I think about them waking up and finding out that a swarm of birds shat on their car… Well it just tickles my pickle.

My empathy tends to run low about people that I dont know much about, but that I know hurt me and the people I care about. I think it would be ironic and vindicating that if during a live meeting of the board for Black Rock, the building they were in collapsed because of poor maintenance funding.

I gladly wish a long and painful death on any human that exploits his fellow humans to get stupid rich. Not talking about folks that contribute to society and get paid for their job, like doctors/lawyers/etc. talking about the CEO’s, investment douchebags, basically the majority of the financial sector.

I wish those folks get superaids and die bleeding from their assholes screaming in agony

Yeah, especially the people doing shit like fighting against nationalised healthcare just do they can continue to make obscene profits - I really could watch them suffer for hours without once even considering helping them

can’t understand Kentuckys fascination with this man.

It’s the R next to his name.

From one human to another, I don’t wish Senator McConnell any harm. From a policy standpoint, my opinion is that he is an absolute excrement of a politician for whom basic human dignity for the low- and middle income households is very, and I mean very VERY low on the list of priorities, if it’s on there at all. I hope he retires from politics very soon.
I knew the memes would be coming after this moment
Lmao that’s a good one. Can’t wait till this old POS is out of office.
that aint enough. i can’t wait till the gates of hell open up for this guy
I agree but I’m paranoid about what I say publicly about government officials. Very sad reality we live in.
Fuck that cowardly bullshit. I hope he dies and I hope its a painful death. I’m not ashamed to wish death on a pile of shit.
As punchable as his face is, I always remember that he’s the consequence of Kentucky voters. This dude could die tomorrow and literally nothing will change for the better.
Then all of those people who voted for him can do the same thing.
I don’t think Satan wants to take this guy in hell, along with Kissinger. He’s probably afraid that they’ll cause mutiny amongst the demons and take away his powers.
Can we set an age limit on public office? You cannot tell me with a straight face that people that have been in office longer than a lot of their constituents have been alive are in touch with what is actually needed for their communities.
“People born in a world that no longer exists should not have total control of the modern world”

The article itself gets even better, and I especially loved this line:

At press time, McConnell had reportedly died after hearing the song “Happy” by Pharrell.

Biggest Benefits Slaves Got From Slavery

Following Florida’s decision to release new standards for teaching African American history in schools, The Onion examines the biggest benefits slaves got from slavery.

The Onion
Beautiful. I just found another good one on there.
Elderly Senators Amused To Discover Their Strokes Syncing Up

WASHINGTON—Discovering the phenomenon as they all received emergency medical attention at the same time, several elderly senators reportedly found it amusing Thursday that their strokes seemed to be syncing up. “I’ve heard of this happening, but I honestly thought it was a myth,” a distant, glassy-eyed Mitch McConnell…

The Onion

Great final sentence on that one, too!

At press time, the elderly senators reportedly realized they also used the same brand of super absorbent diapers.

The only problem is it’s probably realistic
As a person living in Europe, who’s that guy?
a parasite some people may refer to as a Senator.
The leader of the Republican in the Senate, and a very big part of why the US is currently drowning in fascism.

I said his conscience broke through and he saw, as a single point in time, everything he ever did to make everyone’s life worse

But this is funnier

Political “humor.” OK …
Rupert Murdoch and Mitch McConnell are the 2 people that I think when they die , the whole world is going to celebrate. Feel free to add more evil people to this list.
Pat Robertson was a big one for me
I can’t believe Henry Kissinger is still alive… I’ll be very happy when this fucker dies.
I remember when the print edition used to be free on the DC Metro.
Those were the days! Man, I had forgotten all about that
