:crabs x10000:
the fact she was still active in politics at age 90 doesn’t sit well with me; even less that she’s not exactly a unique case. That smells strongly of “late Soviet Union” levels of political constipation.
Capitalism is when communism
She just died? Wow.
Pour one out for the staffers. This was almost certainly the pinnacle of their elder abuse careers
Well, now they have something for the portfolio. They’ll move onto another old mummy because of their success rate with her. They had her voting on something fucking YESTERDAY. She voted, went home and fucking DIED of old age!
she didn’t actually vote in the vote, it’s possible she actually died during the vote lol
I watched a video of it earlier. I couldn’t see her, and someone much younger cast her vote for her.
How the fuck is this allowed? Oh wait. There are no rules for the people who make the rules
No shortage of geriatric Senators they can gloom on to. Maybe they can go work for McConnell next.
It’s also really funny this legitimately removes any moral high ground the libs could have in criticizing McConnell.
“You let a corpse get pushed into the senate to fake a vote 6 hours before she died” is a legitimate reading on the situation.
For a bunch of people who only seem to care about winning the mythical undecided moderate they really don’t make much effort to take the easy moral high ground when it’s actually presented to them.
Legitimate question, is it?
Every other senator just watched them shove an unresponsive corpse in front of cameras for years, destroying her legacy with anybody who doesn’t have a Rachel Maddow haircut, to avoid having to do any competent political work.
Would you hire the guys from weekend at bernies to work in the nursing home you live in?
It shows the staffers are willing to abandon all morals and ethics to play ball and let an elderly person hang onto power until they literally die.
This appeals to certain kinds of politicians in DC, turns off others
In North Korea the party has to make old people work for them until they drop dead and everyone just watches and has to act like it is normal
