A Bluesky comment
That makes five democratic members of congress that have died in the past year — three of them in the past three months. the youngest was 70.
The dinosaurs will die with their scaly claws firmly wrapped around progress’s throat, but they will die.
Except Mitch McConnell, until the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the Corpse Emperor.
The evidence is really pointing to him being some sort of lich
Gimlet-eyed and gleefully indifferent to the decomposition of his mortal vessel; he’s definitely figured something out.
Those times where he blacks out for minutes at a time are him communicating with some creature in the nightmare realm
Smart play. Have these geezers die in office, have a snap election with guaranteed low turnout, get more blue dogs in when the left doesn’t have time to organize.
Almost like organization is necessary before it’s an emergency.
no proactive only reactiveJust in time revolution logistics.
The mortality rate of serving in congress is going to get up to Alaskan king crab fishing levels.
Noooo that was going to be Biden’s running mate in 2028.
HAHAHAHA
lets see if AOC loses to another dinosaur with cancer
She’s the world champion of eating bowls of shit
Or dementia. Or both.
Lmao
On Wednesday morning, the House Rules Committee paused its contentious meeting on President Donald Trump’s massive tax bill and held a moment of silence in Connolly’s honor.
🥰
Surely now it’s her turn!
thank you for your service who else could have possibly kept a coked out succdem from a modicum of power braver than the troops im crying and shaking rn died in the line of duty
House of gerentocracy strikes again lol.
Tangent time.
It will always be hilarious to me how democrats have an even worse case of elders who refuse to retire, much worse than the fucking party that believes old white men should be given the royal treatment in society.
How tf are conservatives embracing their youth and more enthusiastic to pass the torch to the next generation?

They literally do make a wish foundation but for dying gerontocrats
This is how you get to Democrat Valhalla
Lo, when the breath fails mid-committee speech, down ride the Voter Valkyries, golden-lanyarded and grave, they bear the fallen Democrats — who perish not in scandal but in decorum — to Valhalla, where nothing shall fundamentally change.
There waits Odin, god of wisdom and moderate compromise, parliamentarian of the gods and god of parliamentarians. In his hall no reform stirs, no firebrand speaks, none disturbs the adults in the room.
Each morn the moderate einherjar rise to canvass and debate, to lose with dignity. By night they celebrate the rules and norms, they feast on Sæhrímnir the Avocado and sip Heiðrún’s Chardonnay in bipartisan peace.
At Ragnarök, the final election day, they ride once more to reach across the aisle and secure the the most noble of defeats.
so much a blue dog his ears are even folded lol
He’s was such a young kid, he had his whole life ahead of him.
I coulda swore I blocked c/fakenews…
I posted a while ago about him and I added the word “dying” in the title even though the article didn’t say that. He was resigning from the Oversight Committee so I knew in my bones he was dying. I could have been wrong and he might have started some god-awful chemo treatments or something. But I knew that was wrong. I knew he was dying.

23 days ago.
May you use your powers for good.
This is a big longshot. Like 10,000 to 1 but I’m trying. Within 23 days Trump drops dead from a heart attack. He’s talking to a team of New York Times reporters at the time. It’s very hazy - of course - but I think he will be telling Maggie Haberman a joke about “very, very tough” Israelis.
