Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First of all, good riddance, glad we won't have to see this old ghoul anymore. I hope whatever neurological condition he has kills him before he can enjoy his retirement.
Second of all, a lot Democrats should follow suit. Congress is ancient, but the Democrats are, on average, even older than the Republicans, and that's one of the main reasons they keep getting their asses kicked. If we're going to stop the fascists that have seized our government, we need people with fresh ideas and the energy to fight. Schumer has demonstrated over the last month that his is in no way capable of meeting this moment, and he should set an example for his fellow geriatrics by stepping down from leadership and not seeking reelection, just like McConnell did.
A fucking men.
Also Jeffries is not the face of the new generation. So inauthentic.
Jefferies was hand-picked by Pelosi, and I have to assume, given how much power she still exerts over the House (for example, blocking AOC from the Oversight Committee) that he is simply her figurehead. He is also a truly terrible public speaker, which is not an ideal trait for someone who wants to be Speaker of the House.
Retirement? That mother fucker has a seasonal job at most.
Mitch McConnell is proof that the built-in termination date in the human life cycle is a good thing.
"I've done enough damage. It's time for me to step aside so someone else can continue my legacy."
Ding dong the Mitch is dead, which old Mitch?, the wicked Mitch.
Good riddance.
Flip the seat.
Must be a tough decision to stop working so hard on harming the country and enjoy retirement.
Once upon a time this news would have made me happy. McConnell is responsible for so many terrible things, but honestly he pales in comparison with Trump and the MAGA folks. He's like Dr. Evil, who was the big baddie in his day, but is nothing compared to today's evils.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
Mitch is, frankly speaking, one of the most talented statesmen of our time, and he reliably used his powers to the detriment of all but a few of the wealthiest. Imagine if a moldy, watered-down Talleyrand was just a cynical jerk off that continually fucked everything up for everyone else in order to get a little microslice of the profits he made for a handful of people, and you've Mitch McConnell. He could have really achieved some great things for everyone if he hadn't been doing them just for the ultra-wealthy.
He's still alive?
Not technically alive since 2016, but yeah…he’s still kicking it.
In a sense.
You listening, Grassley?
Time to retire Mitch.
The reaper is literally knocking on his office door like,"ENOUGH STALLING MY MAN I SAID 5MINUTES ..."
