    I used to hate hit so much until the loser liar orange piece of shit stole the show. I didn’t stop hating this one. I just had new hate that I never expected.

    Socialism for me, not for thee. Politicians who vote against social services are more than happy to receive them themselves. You see the same with military members. They are provided so many services from the state they are more than happy to receive but will vote every single time to decrease social services for others.

    In my experience in my own country as well as living in other countries (none of which the US, but I believe it equally applies), leftwing policies (such as universal schooling and worker rights) built the middle class and the Neoliberals (which are generally the two major parties in a country) have been destroying it since Reagan’s days.

    For me this was especially obvious in the UK were almost every single pro-people thing (National Health Service, Social Security, Public Housing) dated back to the years of Labour Party government immediatelly after WWII and every single one of then had been under attack in some way since Thatcher’s day, including during governments of New Labour (the Labour party after the Neoliberal faction took it over, most obviously with Tony Blair whom Thatcher called “my greatest achievement”).

    I think the UK is especially applicable here because it’s the country in Europe that, at least for the last 2 or 3 decades most apes the US (in the bad things, rather than good things).

    All this to say that I don’t expect ANY American politician who has managed to hold to power for so long as Mitch Mcconnell to be anything else than a middle class destroying Neoliberal, no matter what political party they come from.

    Considering no one knows what hospital he’s in. There is absolutely no way that all the RNs, CNAs, APPs, and MD involved that NOTHING would have leaked. HIPAA doesn’t do anything about an unknown anonymous tip.

    With all that said. He is absolutely being kept at the house of someone involved in the cover up. Either alive or dead. Most likely dead. Watch for news on August 3rd that he suddenly died.

      Fmla is none of those 3 things. FMLA doesn’t pay for care, or pay while your sick; it doesn’t even guarantee your job, it guarantees a “similar” job. Its enough of a weasel word for employers to fuck with you if they want to over fmla leave.

    Mitch is dead and sucking money from US taxpayers. Brain dead is dead too.
    On the other hand, folks might make some money betting he will “die” in August.

    Idea’s true but can’t help but push back on this “middle class” as an existing group. There is no such thing just the bourgeois and the proletariat.

  • I think america needs to cut this socialist bullshit. If he can’t work, he shouldn’t be sucking benefits out of the taxpayer’s fucking tit.

    Also i kind of just want him to die on the street because I think it would be funny.
