      He’s got the gaunt face of a man who’s withering away. My grandpa, a much better man than McConnell, looked like that for the last few months of his life, despite spending the majority of his life with a slightly pudgy face. It is truly ghoulish the way they parade politicians like McConnell and Feinstein around as if they still have all their wits, when really they should have retired years ago. Hell, half the senate should have retired over a decade ago, but both parties value incumbency too much

        My boomer parents are adamant that feinstein is still “young.” They don’t want to admit to their own mortality (they are in their 70s). I believe that’s what is driving a lot of this bullshit.

        Americans don’t believe they will ever die.

      At least Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, acknowledged her mistakes and did her best to help humanity in the end.
