Great to see Nancy shares my vision that it would be hilarious if one of them dies on the house floor. Gotta keep saying this on here until the lathe kicks in. Mitch is getting close, but really it would just be even funnier if it happens twice.

We should call it "Pulling a Ginsberg" just to rub salt in the wounds of the Dem voters

if it happens twice

Inshallah. Oh, great an merciful god - I would not be so bold as to ask for it thrice. But you know...

I think the evil force keeping them alive is the same one keeping Kissinger alive, and once Kissinger goes, its grip on this plane of reality will be released and McConnell and Pelosi will instantly turn to a pile of dust on the Congress floors.

And War Profiteer Feinstein too.

multiple people have died on the floor and some where beaten to death by other congressmen on the floor and nothing happened to them; it makes zero difference.

this is untrue. no one has been violently slain during a session of congress, Charles Sumner got his ass beat on the floor but was not killed. in 1954 Puerto Rican nationalists shot a few, but didn't manage any kills, and i think fash-infighting doesn't really count since they weren't members of congress or technically in the room yet

by luck only:

Brooks would later contend that he stopped because he had accomplished his mission, but witnesses say he was eventually pulled off the senator, who by that time was near death.

using pointless details to obfuscate & disseminate the thrust of argument was a western capitalist trick. lol

not sure what you're trying to say. how allegedly close or far a call it was is ancillary to the fact he survived & was in congress for 15 more years.

Mitch’s lower jaw looks like it’s melting off his face. I can’t unsee it every time I have to look at him in a headline.

Seriously why are we voting in ghouls like pelosi. These people are at the edge of average human lifespan and they want reelection?
