I’m saddened to learn of the passing of Senator Sheev Palpatine. We had our differences, but he was a true pleasure to work with. I recall fondly how he brought a much-needed sense of humor to our good-faith negotiations that ended with his decision to bless the military operation to destroy Alderaan.

Though I respectfully voiced my objections, I appreciated his principled honesty in his push to replace the outdated democratic republic with the Empire.

He was a strong advocate for his beliefs, and I admired his power of persuasion that included force-chokes and blue-lightning beams that inflicted significant pain on his political opponents.

He will be missed - the Imperial Senate won’t be the same without him. He was the best of us.

We are getting very close to a red line where Trump goes full dictator and has to be removed from office. Myself and many others predicted something like this well in advance, fill the posts with stooges to manufacture a pretext to interfere in/rig the elections

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

There was a rumor a couple weeks ago that Trump was looking to make a deal with Maduro to let him out of prison if he testifies that Hugo Chavez rigged the election for Biden, which was Sidney Powell and Rudy’s insane conspiracy.

Put quite simply, if you don’t want your death to spark the public firestorm like Lindsey Graham’s had today… live a better life.

Your legacy is your legacy. Death doesn’t change that.

Remember when Steve Irwin died? Did he get so much hate? No. You know why? Because he wasn’t a warmonger with the deaths of thousands on his hands.

Robin Williams? Didn’t support atrocities of a country he took tens of millions from.

Mr. Rogers? Didn’t become one of the most corrupt figures in U.S. history.

Your legacy is your legacy. Your death doesn’t change the way you lived your life.

The cult of civility demands that you be polite and complimentary about the quality of the leather of the boot that is stomping on your face.

MF looks better in this photo than any publicly taken photo he’s had in months, probably years, at this point. Either this is digitally altered or they performed some ritual where he leached Lindsey Graham’s life force 😆

Statement From Senator Mitch McConnell

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following note to constituents regarding his hospitalization and recovery:

“To my fellow Kentuckians –

“When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks, Elaine and I have appreciated both your well wishes and your honest questions about what was keeping me away from the Senate.

“You all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.

“But at the same time, I’ve had more than my share of experience with physical vulnerabilities. Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital.

“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.

“I can assure you that I’ve been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident. And I’m continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I’ve been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I’ll keep regaining my strength.

“As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet. But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you. I’ve been working closely with my legislative staff on current issues, and with my Kentucky team who help me provide timely constituent services across our Commonwealth. I’ve also been keeping in touch with my Senate colleagues on the appropriations process, midterm politics, and everything in between.

“You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work. But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

“I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible. And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of my recovery. Until then, I’m so grateful for your prayers and well wishes.”

###

From the Office of the Attending Physician:

“Senator McConnell has experienced several falls throughout the year that have been attributed to his post-polio condition. He was admitted to the hospital four weeks ago after falling at home and sustaining minor injuries.

“A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team determined that he had no fractures, cardiac abnormalities, stroke, tumor, or hemorrhage. Early in his hospitalization, he developed pneumonia, which responded rapidly to antibiotic treatment.

“The remainder of his hospital stay focused on physical therapy and strategies to reduce his risk of future falls. He has been medically cleared to continue fully participating in his intensive physical therapy program.”

[Criminalsimpsons @Criminalsimpson]

Sen. Mitch McConell was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "Alive."

31 years in office. 0 sexual assault allegations from women.

RIP king

Credit whatsupcv on FB, can keep updating accordingly, pearl-clutching cry bullies on the right can suck it while they continue fellating their Dear Leader here

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

People are asking why I'm so uncensored in my criticism of Lindsey Graham. "You should respect the dead," they say.

I only respect the dead if they respected the living.

Lindsey Graham was a merchant of death. He was practically giddy about the idea of nuking Gaza or Iran, and he repeatedly demanded mass casualties of millions of innocent women and children.

A demonic creature like that deserves zero respect, living or dead.

I would also point out that there are no term limits in Hell, so hopefully he "serves" there longer than he "served" in the U.S. Senate.

[𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖋𝖊𝖗 @LucifersTweetz]

Live your life in a way that if you die at 2 a.m. the whole internet doesn’t start roasting you immediately.

[John Iadarola @johniadarola]

I intend to treat Lindsay Graham with exactly as much compassion, empathy, and understanding as he treated the children of Gaza.

[Alex @alxtc501]

This is the epitome of elitism right here, cheering and enabling the mass slaughter of innocent people is less offensive to these types of people than regular people celebrating when one of these enablers can no longer abuse their power to cause more of it.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

The limp dick dictator strikes again

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Trump administration issued subpoenas to New York Times journalists who wrote about the new Air Force One, an escalation of pressure on the media. https://t.co/8cXYSuSSy4

Forget airports and all this other vanity shit, nothing would be more appropriate to name after Trump than the explosive diarrhea parasite

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

A diarrhea-causing parasite, cyclosporiasis, has led to a growing outbreak in the United States that has sickened more than 1,000 people and sent dozens to hospital.

The Trump administration scaled back the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's disease tracking, making reporting on Cyclospora optional for states participating in the FoodNet surveillance network

The synergy between climate-change driven extreme weather and AI data center hell coming together to cause electricity shortages is so bleak and dystopian, there’s going to be hell to pay for these techno douches

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The CEO of the biggest electricity company in the US is warning that blackouts could hit next year, as AI and data centers drive up electricity demand and strain the grid.

Exelon's CEO Calvin Butler told the Financial Times that Americans could “absolutely” lose power as soon as 2027.

He says that last winter his company nearly limited service for 400,000 customers during extreme cold.

a lot of people who claim to love this country actually just love capitalism and that they personally attained wealth through it

there’s no love for what actually unites America. there is zero civic pride. no care for the common good.

they don’t love the U.S. they love the USD.
