"Evil fucking ghoul - 83. Died the way he lived, shitting all over everyone."

That's the headline I want to read. .Fingers crossed...

He bragged about being the Grim Reaper when it came to slashing healthcare and other federal benefits. Hopefully he is about to meet the real one now.

Now that's kind of a good news, not perfect, but in the good direction

Non American with little time to search rn,

What was his claim to infamy, so we all know why its a good thing he goes?

The US Supreme Court is currently stacked with Republicans due to him. He refused to process Obama's pick for the court NINE MONTHS before the election that got Trump into office the first time, claiming we "need to see what America wants" - I'm still pissed as fuck at Obama for letting him get away with that crap (Obama didn't put up much of a fight, if any).

Then, TWO WEEKS before the election that Trump lost after his first round in office, McConnell rushed through Trump's pick for the Supreme Court. Blatant scum, he is.

ETA: I should explicitly note that means Trump got the rather unusual opportunity to pick TWO Supreme Court justices during a single term - one of them should have been Obama's pick.

He's also a hyper partisan bitch. I clearly remember hearing this ghoul saying "I will be the grim reaper of liberal legislation" when it came to the Obama administration. Didn't give a fuck about the content of any particular bill as long as it wasn't "the other side". He's such a slimy piece of shit that he filibustered his own fucking bill in 2009 just because a dem co-sponsored it. He lead the charge in the senate to repeal the Affordable Care Act just because it had Obama's name attached to it, with no plans to put something else in place, not even fucking Romneycare. He also became the face of resisting already allocated funds to be paid to the families of first responders who fucking died during 9/11. Any kind of evil slimy bullshit that came out of the senate basically always either had his name attached to it, or straight up had his dumbfuck turtle face plastered on the front fucking page of it. He's responsible for an appalling amount of human suffering and the world will be a better place whenever this fucking ghoul dies.
