    Pour one out for the staffers. This was almost certainly the pinnacle of their elder abuse careers

      Well, now they have something for the portfolio. They’ll move onto another old mummy because of their success rate with her. They had her voting on something fucking YESTERDAY. She voted, went home and fucking DIED of old age!

          I watched a video of it earlier. I couldn’t see her, and someone much younger cast her vote for her.

          How the fuck is this allowed? Oh wait. There are no rules for the people who make the rules

            There’s this great video of a Texas legislative body where everyone’s like leaping over their desks and using long poles and shit to vote for all the other legislators who are absent. It’s like the most pathetic sport you can possibly imagine.

            One of those small moments in which the real nature of liberal electoralism shows through.

        It’s also really funny this legitimately removes any moral high ground the libs could have in criticizing McConnell.

        “You let a corpse get pushed into the senate to fake a vote 6 hours before she died” is a legitimate reading on the situation.

        For a bunch of people who only seem to care about winning the mythical undecided moderate they really don’t make much effort to take the easy moral high ground when it’s actually presented to them.

        Legitimate question, is it?

        Every other senator just watched them shove an unresponsive corpse in front of cameras for years, destroying her legacy with anybody who doesn’t have a Rachel Maddow haircut, to avoid having to do any competent political work.

        Would you hire the guys from weekend at bernies to work in the nursing home you live in?
