Spontaneously combusting on the Senate floor would be okay too. Shame about that blue carpet.

I really want him to hold on long enough to see his empire crumble into dust.

But I’d settle for a New Year’s Eve heart attack.

My understanding is that spontaneous human combustion only occurs with humans, but I like the idea.

I wish this were true. I want the Dems to control the senate more than anything but it’ll never happen. Red states are filled with people who take more pleasure in their neighbor not getting the money over themselves receiving it. This country is filled with people who don’t mind being pissed on if the other guy gets shit on.

Regarding Republicans who aren’t like the others.

Ain’t it the truth. They all ought to be expunged. They’ve been too spunged for too long. None of their ideas hold water.

I dunno. Luke Letlow kinda made the mold of what constitutes a republican who isn’t hell-bent on the destruction of the country.

That carpet will need to be burned anyway, probably saturated with COVID.

Wouldn’t his tax liability be greater if he lives into 2021? I want more than a lb. of flesh.

Melber show, I walked in late and missed who the repub was, being interviewed…
after a clip of Newt Gingrich saying Mitch should have a stand alone vote the repub said “This is a divorce proceeding… Mitch is divorcing T and Loeffler and Perdue are the innocent victims who will suffer…”

Democrats should make it a daily ritual of denouncing McConnell and his Republican buddies (none of whom have ever missed a meal because of food insecurity) for the next four years. Additionally, Biden should be sure that this is mentioned in every daily press conference. The Republican senate must be made the “Lepers of DC.”

Don’t be greedy. Anyways, people at his level just have write-offs, so the more years they can claim, the more they can launder and never pay a dime on.

Yeah. He had the good sense to die before he was found out.

Oh, I was meaning in the old western film term of “the only good injun is…”

Mitch thinks democrats making less than $75K are rich?

Any particular reason why Schumer doesn’t say, “No problem. I’m telling my caucus to abstain on the Defense Authorization veto override, so we can stay here through the holiday weekend rewriting that bill. And then, as long as we’re here, maybe we can have a vote on the 2 grand.”

Yes, I was thinking the most salient response to that utter nonsense was:

Dafuq!?

Also disgusting, ugly, despicable and without any value. So, I guess filthy covers it. Carry on.

Easy. Everyone’s going to spend their $2k on something from Amazon, therefore this merely constitutes a transfer of wealth to Jeff Bezos.
