This man has made the United States worse, not better.

He has caused division. He was one of the first politicians to create a smear campaign against his opponent. Said he was going to block every single Obama was going to do during his term. Then list is too long!

This man represents/helped create most things that are wrong with this country.

I hope whatever he is experiencing puts him in a miserable state of mind.

Would be weird to be admitted to the hospital and then NOT recieving medical care

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Damn, right where my mind went too.

I wish the headline said he was refused medical and then pronounced dead but I guess it's good they clarified so we all know he wasn't just there for the cafeteria or hospital sex dungeon.

I hope his condition is horrifyingly painful, and that any treatment he receives prolongs his suffering 🥰

The corruption of eternal power will lead this man to die in public office.

I know I'll never lie at my death bed thinking "I wish I worked more..."

Not the one I was hoping for, but I'll take it.

It'd be cooler if he didn't.

free 'excellent care'. well, free to him

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

If Mitch McConnell had passed away from health complications at a younger age, I might still have a future.

So yeah, free to him, very very very very costly to the rest of us.
