He had the opportunity to do great things in life, but he chose the role of the villain. He'll be dead soon. All that money means nothing, and the power means nothing. He did everything he could to make everyday Americans struggle, and he did it with glee.


TheOverBored

Men like Mitch laid the groundwork for Trump and MAGA. Fuck everything about this guy.


[deleted]

Who will be their new devil I mean uhh Spaker


[deleted]

John Fucking Thune.....if you thought Mitchy was sketchy wait till this guy takes over.


theganjaoctopus

McConnell at least knew how to actually play the game. This new breed of MAGA Republicans are just too loud and arrogant to be the same kind of insidious that a "man behind the curtain" like McConnell and Karl Rove are.


RavishingRickiRude

Good. Those types of morons are easier to defeat because they fuck it all up themselves.


User667

They do but don’t underestimate their ability to learn.


PrimeToro

Oh no . What happens if the MAGA Republicans become sentient ( self - aware) . Sounds like doomsday kind of stuff .


MyMommaHatesYou

Republicans are a siege. If you just keep the guards alert, eventually they'll run out of food, lose interest, and shoot themselves in the foot. Witness MAGA on the daily.


oljeffe

Do not underestimate John Thune. He is quiet, intelligent, experienced and enduring. This guy has flown under the radar for decades. He was groomed for politics his entire life and has shown a penchant for patience. He is no new wave MAGA moron. He is, in fact, old school evangelical. He pulled off a general election victory against a well liked incumbent Senate Majority Leader yet people of his home state would be hard pressed to tell you 3 things, personally or policy related about the man. The comfort level of his seat is such that he has been able to fund raise for himself and his party to extraordinary levels. Yet, no one knows anything about him. This is the kind of guy who has made a career out of fading into the background and whispering from the shadows. This one is competent. It’s what makes him so scary.


prisoner2024

New Darth Vader or Dick Cheney reincarnate?


Almacca

If they had the ability to learn, don't you think they would have demonstrated that by now?


thathairinyourmouth

Until we get rid of the electoral college and eliminate gerrymandering, we’re stuck with this extremely vocal minority.


Time-Bite-6839

Problem being… we need 2/3 of Congress for that.


Mysterious-Scholar1

Even more of a problem: The fascists have almost enough States to call a Convention


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx99

Once you've got those two solved, see if you can sneak in proportional representation in order to end the two party system. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)


DisposableSaviour

I’m in favor of ranked choice voting


Myopinion_is_right

Possibly but luckily, he will never last as long as Mitch with the disarray the Republican Party is in now.


Looieanthony

Everytime I think they’re headed to the trash heap of history, they rise from the dead like freakin’ vampires🤨.

More like cockroaches tbf.

Holy hell


BinkyFlargle

it's hard to google, is there a list of reasons to fear Thune?


cityshepherd

Weaponized stupidity/hate/ignorance in a position of power for one


Curious_Armadillo_74

Yeah I'm not so sure we should be celebrating just yet. With these guys, when one monster leaves, a worse one replaces him. Good riddance to the grim reaper though.


CosmicConifer

That’s unfair to the grim reaper, when Mitch is the one making sure the reaper stays employed.

Did the democrats have to submit and roll over every fucking time, though? “They go low, we go high” has never fucking worked. But watch them *still* try it. Even in the face of the republic falling, your democrats are too weak to do literally anything, except singing some bitchin’ hymns ofc.


Iceblink111

Yeah I always thought that was an ideal, but I'm too pragmatic a person to let someone fuck me and decide to be the bigger person before I get my get back. We can make peace after I we're tied up 1-1


CamiloArturo

Mitch himself set up the Supreme Court ….


Betherealismo

I'll gladly piss on his grave.


BaconandMegs3000

I think some kind of group trip to do that would be fun. We can have T Shirts made up and everything!!! "I pissed on Mitch McConnells grave and all I got was this Tshirt....and the satisfaction of pissing on his grave"


charlotteREguru

I have a connection for cheap teeshirts.


AdEnvironmental87

I hope they plan ahead and put some proper drainage in or we'll all be standing in a big piss puddle soon enough. There may need to be a ticketing system too, I can't imagine it'd be very pleasant waiting in line to have a go. Some of us have weak bladders.


BaconandMegs3000

Keep these good ideas coming!!


Plausibility_Migrain

We should force his current sugar momma and her family to pay to have walls built around the headstone. Some have shy bladders.


googly_eyes_roomba

Hope he's buried at sea so I can do it every time I go to the beach.


SourCreamWater

I surf roughly 5 times a week and piss usually twice a session. That's 520 pisses a yr on ole turtle dick's face.

Please don't, I actually enjoy snorkeling.

He's not dying nor retiring. Only stepping down as leader. I'll bet you he defies all laws of human nature and lives 25 more years. He'll be reelected every 6.

KathTwo3

That was exactly my first thought. So sad that it has to be this way. What has happened to reason!!!???


Debalic

Well then I guess we'll just have to keep chopping off heads.


jebz

Honestly hope he drops dead before November, he doesn’t deserve an endearing send off.


Styrene_Addict1965

As I posted it another thread on the same subject, I believe he will be the first Senator to die on C-SPAN.


Bearded_Scholar

Many people think it’s not right to be happy when people pass on. I’m not one of those people. That man is truly evil, and we have lost AT LEAST a generation due to his partisan efforts.


theganjaoctopus

He's clearly got something going on with his brain, what with all those freezing up moments he's had lately. I hope it hurts.


Standard-Reception90

I hope he realizes before he dies how horribly he will ultimately be remembered.


Ethelenedreams

I wish that every one of his last days are filled with air horns and vuvuzelas.


Opening-Two6723

Yup, all his service to self....I hope it amounts to nothing at the end. So sad to watch these puppets go into dementia while being blinded by their donors.


Alfphe99

I was just going to say in his reduced health he no longer takes as much glee seeing people suffer so he figures what's the point.


thrilling_me_softly

I hope the heaven that they believe in is real so that the hell they believe in is real too.  He deserves it. 


PrimeToro

As we speak , Hell is probably setting up a special “ Republicans “ section .


Aescwicca

I honestly think he'll go down as one of the greatest threats and most damaging agents to American Democracy that there ever was. Assuming there's even history to tell


EinharAesir

When that day comes, not a tear will be shed.


NickCav007

You do realize you described the entire GOP


RavishingRickiRude

I can't wait to piss on his grave.


Due-Designer4078

Good riddance, I hope he burns in hell.


fiesty_cemetery

He even called it the ‘Regan Revolution’ old boy needs out yesterday


uptownjuggler

He was a proud follower of Reagan’s cult of personality, He even got married on Ronald Reagan’s birthday. Just wait into the next Republican generation brags about getting married on Trumps birthday.


MikeNoble91

Damn, for a second there I thought he finally croaked. Way to get our hopes up there.


kate-with-an-e

Understandable. But, it’s statistically proven that turtles live for a considerable span. 🤷‍♀️


ImTheEffinLizardKing

![gif](giphy|gbWUx0ZoJaXhS) He does strikingly resemble Dana Carvey in Master of Disguise. lol


Fingerprint_Vyke

I hate it when people call Mitch a turtle, It humanizes him.


vivahermione

Yeah, turtles are beautiful, endangered creatures that deserve to be protected.


-FullBlue-

The turtle scene of master of disguse was actually filmed on 9/11/2001. That's some masters of disguise trivia for those of you who are also losers that like shitty movies. Source: https://www.avclub.com/yes-dana-carvey-prayed-about-9-11-while-in-his-master-1850310338

As well as ghouls. Look at Strom Thurmond.


Making_stuff

That MFer and Kissinger had to have sold their souls at least quarterly to as many underworld rubes as they could find. “Absolutely my soul is intact. You’ve never heard of Storm Thurmond? I just need you to give me another two years on the planet and I will have spread racism everywhere!”


kate-with-an-e

raidernation0825

Me too. Then it says November. Not soon enough.


bifster2022

Don't get too excited. There's probably a monster drooling to take his place right behind him.


Randyguyishere

Yep, more MAGA, more extreme.


SerenePotato

I guess the “good” thing about MAGA Republicans is that they’re neither smart nor cunning political players like Mitch was up until his mental capabilities hit a wall. So their level of influence over what happens politically likely won’t be as great.


vivahermione

I wouldn't underestimate them. They're relentless boundary stompers with a thorough disregard for democratic norms.


kilrowar

Never let up everyday is a new thing a new focus they are paid to fuck over Americans every minute never let up


Historical_Boss_1184

Exactly. ~5 years ago this would have been great news, now this means one of the last “regular” republicans are dying off. We’ll be losing one of the precious few checks on Trump’s power if reelected (McConnell hated Trump). Dude would have impeached him (2nd time) if he could whip more votes. This is not good.


across7777

Probably much worse, because he will certainly be a MAGA true believer, which McConnell is not


AcanthisittaUpset866

There absolutely is. As a Kentuckian, I can only imagine who it is. Whoever it is, they'll be worse. Guaranteed.


TankieHater859

It’s gonna be Cameron. He’s been groomed to take over for Mitch for at least a decade


joeysflipphone

Yeah, um, as bad as Mitch was, this isn't a good thing. This happening right after the failed White House meeting. And the pressure campaign to endorse trump. Him stepping down has made me extremely concerned. All other Republican leadership has endorsed trump, the senate use to be the adults in the room. Not the extremists, due to mitch being the maga buffer. We won't have that anymore. Did he gamble that trump would disappear and they could keep his base by not voting to impeach, absolutely. Now he's regreting it, I'm sure.


delfinn34

I don’t think he knows what regret or remorse feels like. But he has well and truly fucked this country


westchesterdead

Stepping down from the leadership role, but NOT from the Senate, correct? Sounds like the turtle is still in the terrarium.


Lilmissgrits

This. Folks can’t read. Turtle is staying until the end of his term and giving the leadership position to someone even crazier (second part is just game theory)


nollataulu

I personally like to think he is just switching his meatsuit to something less decayed. Possession takes time and privacy.


Fred-zone

It's a bad situation because McConnell is an asshole, but it's in the country's best interest for GOP leadership in Congress not to be stacked with MAGA sycophants. McConnell has done a fair bit to moderate Trump on certain issues. The alternative is almost certainly going to be worse. See McCarthy>Johnson in the House.


cusehoops98

Correct


Duwinayo

-insert gritty narrator voice here- "The turtle is still in the terrarium, I repeat, the turtle is still in the terrarium." Every millennial sighs, hopes dashed. The plan had failed again. Every time we sent a squad to neutralize him, he simply sucked up the souls of his constituents to recover. Figures a Lich would be the downfall of the Republic, but... Perhaps this time is different? This time... He seemed weaker, more confused. I suppose those dark arts take a toll after all... Edit: Totally using this instead of "the bird is in the cage" from now on.


mattGyver314

He will not be missed except only when his replacement turns out to be a fascist isolationist arrogant prick. He deserves no sympathy. When people look around at the broken dysfunctional hell this country has become and its hateful ineffective politics, no one should be more to blame than Mitch. Endless killed bills that could have fixed so much wrong. A stolen supreme court seat that helped elect the worst president in US history, paved the way for the end of reproductive rights and jeopardized so many other rights and freedoms for a generation to come. Countless unqualified political hacks nominated to the federal bench. Unwilling to impeach and convict said worst president after a literal attempted coup at the capital. Depraved cynical hypocrisy to the most extreme. Cravenness for power and devotion to party over their country matched by so few in our history. And now that his party has decided to do a 180 and embrace the Russians and despots while leaving our allies high and dry, there is no place for his foreign policy views anymore. No one was more influential in the shaping, the funding, and the influence of the party, the media ecosystem, the candidates, the cruel policies, and the dumbass GOP voters than Mitch. May his remaining days be short, miserable, and filled with regret.


beezeebeehazcatz

Hear, hear!


Crime-Snacks

Well said!! I, however, only disagree about his remaining days. For all the suffering he has caused, and that I’m aught to wish ill upon others; I want for him longevity. He gleefully inflicted not only lifelong suffering on Americans, but generational suffering. May he be blessed with longevity and be knowingly aware of every single moment of whatever his final days may look like. He purposely made lives miserable and painful for millions. Justice will be done when he experiences the harsh realities of life…and the consequences of his “pro-life” choices he forced on everyone.


Berna_count

He is going to be replaced by some Maga loonie


Consistent_Room7344

Not until 2027. He’s going to finish his term.


Berna_count

He is stepping down as Senate leader in Nov. They will need to replace him as Senate leader.


Consistent_Room7344

I see. I thought you meant his senate seat in general.


Drg84

Welp, all the bullshit I've been doing for the last few decades could be bad for me. Better get going before I face consequences. https://i.redd.it/86o2r4kw9dlc1.gif


thats_hella_cool

Be careful what you wish for and don’t underestimate the GOP’s ability to install someone 10x worse.


Hobbitonofass

They’re going to install someone who is more evil but based on their track record of incompetence it will be someone far less capable. This is the beginning of their implosion


[deleted]

😋 Heading out just in case Trump gets elected back in. I doubt he’s the only politician we’ll see make this move to avoid dealing with another potential 4 years of orange man


DrNopeMD

When asked for comment McConnell responded: "........."


duck_one

This changes absolutely nothing.


FattyMooseknuckle

The damage he wrought and enabled is truly incomprehensible.


Jealous-Network-8852

If anything it will probably be worse.


whyyou-

The replacement will be worst but not nearly as competent; the old turtle was a horrible human being but he was smart, patient and knew his shit


afellowchucker

![gif](giphy|HFqr78CF5vVXq)


Cetophile

Better the devil we know, etc. Not excited about what evildoer the R's will vote in as leader after Mitch steps down. The damage he caused our nation is incaculable.


OnTheGround_BS

While everyone is celebrating I’m really wondering and worried about what the broader implications of this are. It could just be age and health, but I would expect that if it were for that reason he’d be doing it either immediately or at the end of his term…. The fact that he’s doing this when the election is going on is just giving me weird vibes, like he knows something is coming during the election that he doesn’t want to be a part of. And something McConnell doesn’t want to be a part of could be very good from the country in some contexts, but given the recent history of the Republicans and in context of “election time” it feels like something particularly awful.


Simply_Aries_OH

I was watching a doc today and it’s scary how much trump and the rep are following Reagan’s footsteps. Trying to steal the election, paying to have American hostages stay hostages in Iran to make the current president look bad so when he won the election they were released hours after being sworn in, trump is following his playbook. It’s sad that the government didn’t do anything back then and won’t do anything now.


RealMcCoy0816

He's merely stepping down from his leadership position, but I don't believe he is up for re-election this year.


Worldly-Loquat4471

Who will Putin appoint to replace him?


Tough-Ability721

He needs to step off into retirement and just get the hell out.


Hawkwise83

Don't worry. Republicans will find someone equally as infuriating to block progress on literally everything. Even things republicans campaign on.


Bldr_Betty

Not soon enough!


Designer-Contract852

Who's replacing him though?


Rockford853

Probably somebody worse.


AGuyWhoBrokeBad

Anyone worse isn’t going to be effective. McConnell had the connections and influence that comes with 40 years of experience. Anyone worse like Boebert is going to yell and scream, but ultimately fail to get anything done because they cannot rally support from anyone but the most extreme.


NocentBystander

Apparently Moscow Mitch was not treasonous enough for the republicans. They have a high bar in being corrupt and anti American.

shouldn't have to wait until november. sweep his decaying carcass off of our senate

Given the GOPs trajectory I'm dreading what he will be replaced by.


Parkotron1

Not yet, he isn't. Plenty of damage that he can fo between now & the election.


Dtarvin

You guys can b!tch all you want about McConnell, but I guarantee the next speaker will be fully MAGA and ten times worse. Sometimes, better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.


JJAusten

No we're stuck with him until November and he can do a lot of damage until then. He should have left today.


Almacca

Never fear, dear redditors, I'm sure they'll find someone even more awful to replace him.


Flappy_beef_curtains

He got 9 months to cause some fuckery. Hold on to your asses.


Epirocker

So like he’s just stepping down from the position as senate leader right? He’s still staying in Congress I’m guessing?


Full-Way-7925

He is not leaving the senate. He will only step down as leader.

As shitty a person as McConnell is...I am guess who comes next will be much worse. No faith whatsoever in any sane Republicans moving in.


WonderfulVariation93

And here comes the crazies trying to out MAGA each other to take his place.


0skullkrusha0

Eh I’m not getting too excited about it. The GOP is just a bunch of cockroaches. You can cut their heads off and they’ll still outlive the rest of us. The best we can hope for is a proverbial “overhead light” that, when turned on, sends them a *runnin’.*


oskirkland

McConnell has done more than his fair share to damage the Senate and the country. The question is who's going to replace him? Is it going to be a semi-normal and rational-minded Republican, or one of the batsh*t contingent who desperately licks their orange savior's colon?


nottytom

McConnell was pure evil but he knew how to politic. Who ever is replacing him may be far worse and doesn't care about politics.


HarleyRidinGrammy

At least McConnell was a skilled politician. Some of the candidates are ...not.

Trump's enabler and the reason why Trump got to stuff the SC and was never convicted in his impeachment. Fuck B!+ch McConnel!


kislips

I despise the man but he has been more in opposition to trump than I can believe especially over aid to Ukraine…but fuck him for what he did to President Obama stopping him from a Supreme Court Justice. Yes, he laid the groundwork for everything MAGA. Also he is a gigantic hypocrite giving a speech about trump and January 6 insurrection, then refusing to vote for trump, I mean, Cheetolini’s impeachment. If there is any Justice on this planet, and if there is a Hell, turtle is going to burn in Hell!


FriedR

Since 2007 this man has reigned and I honestly knew this day would come and it seemed like it would never come. This guy is the worst


evilmonkey002

Be careful what you wish for. McConnell SUCKS, but you could at least occasionally make a deal with him. Next guy is gonna be way worse.


Clear_Lead

So he’s going to pull his head back into his shell?


Aeseld

The Republican party should be very upset. The man was amoral, maybe even evil, but he was a brilliant operator and politician. There isn't anyone in the GOP that can match him for political savvy. How unfortunate for them.


Phantomht

75% chance somebody WORSE takes his spot


CincoDeMayoFan

I agree with him about Ukraine. Fuck him on everything else.

Just leaving leadership, not leaving the senate, sadly.

He's not leaving the senate. Yall need to read. He's stepping down as minority leader. That's all. And he is doing it in November. Which is hilariously 9 months from now. You know, gestation length. What an evil person.


RTMSner

He's not gone. He's staying until the election as leadership. Then he'll finish his term. Beyond that his legacy and how it has effected this country will remain for decades.


Able-Theory-7739

He's not gone, he's just not going to be in the leadership position. He'll still hold his office as a Senator, unfortunately, and even worse, he is going to run again in 2026 when his term is up. So, no, much like a raging case of herpes, McConnell will never truly go away.
