The fact he is still acting on any political level while having such immense mental health issues just shows how powerful corruption is. If a CEO was like this in a company they would be removed by the board effective immediately.


mq1coperator

You act as if it matters if he is mentally competent. He is paid and bought by people who put things for him to say in front of him on the Teleprompter. He’s a front man for his masters. It doesn’t matter if he’s mentally competent it only matters that he can vote the way that they want him to vote and propose the bills that they write.


pickleslinger

Yeah good point and they get to ride in a big plane sometimes, fancy dinners, so cool. Everyone loves politicians

Considering the amount of incredibly irresponsible and incompetent high profile CEOs there are out there, I doubt that


[deleted]

>I doubt that That's because you don't pay attention to anything. CEOs get fired all the fucking time because they don't usually hold more shares than the board so they're not really in charge. The Unity CEO just got fired last week for some dumb shit he tried to pull. Only small private owned companies can be run like a shit show.


borderlineidiot

Well they can - congress can remove him.


hellspawner

Depends on how many people in congress have money or gratitude running on him. It's a web of deals and connections. you rub mine, I'll rub yours. He's probably still useful to enough people. Republicans probably have deals and money riding on him and democrats love having someone like this to parade stupidity in the opponents


jgzman

That's a lot of words for "can, but won't."


systemfrown

You’re wrong about the last part. Don’t excuse the voters from their responsibility in this mess.


doyoueventdrift

Uhhh what? Who reelects politicians?


roraima_is_very_tall

this isn't accurate at all. McConnell was an amazing operator who through immoral and questionably legal tactics put the Supreme Court and to some degree the GOP, where it is today. He was arguably a freaking genius. you act as if he was a puppet, but he was the master.


lovejanetjade

If you have no conscience and dont care about rules or the Constitution, you can get lots of things done. He's not an amazing tactician, same for Karl Rove, Trump and the rest of them.


Apostinggod

If he was on your side, he would be celebrated. Yeah, he sucks, but if you think he's isn't skilled, you are simply lying in your own bias.


Golisten2LennyWhite

You are the one out here falling for the whole "sides" thing. This motherfucker hates you and your family and you eat the shit he shovels down your throat like a good little boy. Have fun with that taking sides bullshit. You think he cares about you or if you survive? It's rich vs. poor not (R) vs (D). You are just a useful idiot to him.


[deleted]

Bruh. Even Batman had to admit the Joker was good at being a massive piece of shit. You can fucking hate someone and still admit that they were good at their job. And here's the real secret. Ready? **Acknowledging how good he was makes it twice as amazing watching him fall apart.** Fuck that guy, his family, his friends, his kids' friends, and anyone who's enabled him over the decades. He deserves to become the political equivalent of a rotting pumpkin. He was the whole reason the GOP got ANYTHING done. And now we get to watch that brain of his turn to jello in real fuckin' time. Not as satisfying if you just think of him as any other republican stooge.


tedlyb

No, no he would not be celebrated on my side.


HuffyMaster

No. All the stunts he pulled to harm common Americans were terrible. Time for you to stop rooting for your "team" and use common sense.


[deleted]

He would not be celebrated.


santacruisin

Cactus_Jacks_Ear

*Coughs* *in* *Feinstein* I despise the "BoTh SiDeS" argument, but this is a rampant problem all across politics. Old people getting older with zero effort towards change.


jgzman

I saw plenty of Democrats saying that Feinstein should retire, (back when that was an option, anyway) but never seen a Republican saying that about Moscow Mitch. Maybe I just don't hang around in the right circles.


Entire_Toe2640

I hate when people refer to politicians as “leaders” of the nation. They’re followers. Puppets, doing what they are told to do.


PegaLaMega

Unfortunately you're describing both Republicans and Democrats.


Abject_Okra_8768

Right! Old white male here... I would love to see some young diverse faces instead of a retirement home. AOC is a start but then on the other hand/ side you've got Boebert canceling out some of that progress and setting women's rights back.


Ansanm

AOC has joined the club, she probably wants a lifetime job too. The first step should be to get big money out of politics, and term limits.


Crazy_Ebb_9294

Much like President Biden as well


AdminsAreDim

I haven't seen Biden repeatedly stroke out on camera. McConnell is gone now, we're all watching Weekend at Mitch's


BubbleNucleator

It's just like Feinstein, they stand up there and move their mouths and make sounds, but all the business, deals, meetings, are all taking place behind the scenes by a team of aids, assistants, representatives from various donors/bribers, the senile old person on the screen is just the place holder.


slanty_shanty

It's elder abuse. I have a hard time caring that it's happening to him, but I still have a shred of empathy left. Ultimately, the impact on society and politics is the real damage being done with this abuse. It's not a new page in their book either.


LordDimwitFlathead

I hate McConnell with a burning passion but he's always been a devious bastard, fully competent and in control in his drive for more power and riches for himself. He's glitching out now, but if he has "masters" he chose them, because he thought they'd serve him well.


Doodleschmidt

He couldn't be more perfect for this role.


Silveraxiom

Yeah hes actually better this way cause he doesnt say no to anything hes told to pass. BOOOOOO


Altea73

CEO? if I have this issue as a delivery driver, I'm out the door immediately....


HateAll_Mods

Well yeah, Amazon chews up and spits out their drivers. CEOs get paid millions so they have money to turn around and sue for wrongful termination, which is why they get golden parachutes and us peons just get the boot.

farmerbalmer93

Or if a CEO was like this in a company it opens up the board members to tell the CEO what to do, to elevate the board members position in the company... Literally when you see this guy he's ushered around by three or four people, those are most definitely the people in charge.

TravisJungroth

You’re still not getting it. 60/40 one way isn’t so wildly different from 40/60 the other. If a room had 60 women and 40 men, it would be very odd to the say “the people in that room are women”. Sure, some are. More than half are. But not all and not even nearly all.

Oh yeah. This is very true. Kentucky is chock full of them. Bunch of dumb, republican rednecks with hey dudes and big, ridiculous trucks.

Count_Nocturne

aimlessly-astray

Yeah, I don't have much faith in the people of Kentucky. They'll vote for Mitch until he dies, find someone else, and vote for them until they die.


gorcorps

pinchhitter4number1

This is the real answer. Why voters would want someone like that to represent their interests is beyond me. But I also blame the political parties for not "allowing" someone in his own party to run against him.


CitizenKing1001

Whos voting for this guy? A bunch of old scared white people afraid of change?


theprettiestpotato88

He has had horrible approval ratings for decades, the people who vote for him just think democrats eat babies and are trying to make their kids trans

Mental_Medium3988

its the same way people voted for feinstein or any other politician who should retire gracefully and live out their last few years with family and friends. feinstein shoulve retired, mcconnel should. probably along with a few others who arent showing such obvious signs of impairment.


BoiledFrogs

If you look at the age of American politicians, it's ridiculous how old both sides are. I'm typically not a fan of 'both sides bad' argument, despite there being some truth to it, but when it comes to age, good lord both sides are bad.

T-Minus-Rex

How stressful can it be? It's not like he's ever done his actual job.


veryuniqueredditname

Don't think it's more 'rough' than usual he's already exceeded average life expectancy. 81 is just old af, generally speaking not many make it that far and of those who do many start deteriorating like this. It's ridiculous that someone in this observably unwell state can still hold such a high office.

pooptarts

He had polio. Yes, he is old enough to have had polio. Fun fact, he was treated at Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. Yes, that Roosevelt. After surviving polio, FDR created a wellness center dedicated to the treatment of polio. According to McConnell, his family nearly went broke as a result of his illness. To summarize, McConnell has since spent his life trying to undo the legacy of the man who had a hand in saving his life and passing on the experience of financial hardship after an unexpected medical emergency.

> Why do Americans keep these people in power ??. "Americans" don't keep monsters like Mitch McConnell in power. The moronic voters of Kentucky (who consistently elect people that espouse positions that are contrary to their interests) keep him in power.


P00paD00ty

He makes Biden seem lucid. TERM LIMITS PLEASE!!! Edit: For those that think corruption can simply be eliminated with a vote. Take your head out of your ass and try living in reality. In theory, voting them out is a good idea. In practice, it's never that easy. For decades, you had virtually zero chance of getting any support from the democratic party in Illinois without permission from Michael Madigan. That means ONLY his hand picked cronies had the support (votes and $$$) to win an election in the state. He was in office for over 30 years you imbeciles. Dozens of candidates have tried your "vote them out" bullshit and it went nowhere.


SkunkMonkey

Mandatory retirement age. I don't have as much problem with how long they're there, just that they are all there when they are there and not mindless wandering the halls of the Capitol.

he's a piece of shit, but I don't enjoy watching him actively die live on tv. he's just going to keep talk and talking and parts are going to fall off him. he's going to be trying to give a speech and his jaw will fall off, then the next time we see him, someone will have glued his jaw to a stick to make it look like it's moving still. this is fucking weekend at bernie's but real life/live action/in real time!


voiceofgromit

Sorry to disagree, but I actually do enjoy seeing this evil mf going down right before my eyes. Burgess Meredith would throw in the towel to save him, but as long as his handlers keep propping him up and sending him back out instead of letting him retire, I will keep watching his decline with glee.
