    He's like some docile zombie. May he be experiencing hell in this state of living death.

    I hope he's miserable and in terrible pain. But I know that fucking over the dems would be his dying wish, no matter how morbid it went; hopefully they'll let him die now but seeing how underwater the GOP is in the senate I wouldn't hold my breath.

    This gif legit freaks me out. That weird perma-smile is just so uncanny valley, it's creepy af.

    The uncanny valley of likely a disease detection and avoidance system. In those pictures, he looks like he has significant brain damage. You're supposed to feel some revulsion, to keep you safe.

    Yeah, I read at one point that that is exactly the evolutionary purpose of uncanny valley. So you steer clear of people who seem almost human, but not quite right. Since they were generally sick in some fashion, like you said.

    Now you know how the rest of the world feels about USian mandatory smiles in every human interaction.

    Oh yeah, USians are so happy. I open Reddit and Lemmy every day and see feeds full of USians chirping about how their lives are packed with happiness.

    USian when they remembers what their country is called: “stop, it's cringe”.

    Lashing out? I'm not the one whining endlessly every single day on Reddit and Lemmy about the same problems after having elected a mentally ill pedofascist twice. And then being told to smile at my job.

    Gtfo with that noise. Intentional smiling is encouraged by zen teachers worldwide.

    ““Happiness””

    I got news, dude: all those waiters and clerks aren't happy to see you. They'll just be fired if they don't smile.

    I hope he's lucid enough to know what's going on. It would be a great way for him to go out, knowing his party is in a shambles.

    “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,” said the Kentucky Senator, presumably lost in thought at the magnitude of the Republicans’ defeat.

    Absolutely vicious!

    I wonder if Republicans will finally (and coincidentally) discover that he's "died."

    I hate to break it to you guys but it looks like he's happily shitting his pants. He'll die soon but someone is cleaning up his mess.

    The either has to be italicized or lowercase, and it's such a little thing but it's driving me slightly mad.

    Because both The Onion and The Beaverton have 'The' in their titles, the italics is emphasizing the difference between them... Though I don't know if that's correct, and on reread, it does bug me too.

  • He's in trouble. After the mid-terms, his MAGA handlers have decided they don't need him anymore. They're just gonna squirrel him away somewhere, probably facing a corner until he expires, and hope people forget about him. Archaeologists will find him one day, thousands of years from now, covered in dust, grinning like a victim of Joker venom, and mistake him for a large paperweight.

    He's speechless after a bowel movement too the old cadaver.

  • source
  • [–] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    To be fair, he's speechless anyway because he's basically brain dead. They're probably pumping him with so many chemicals to keep him from keeling over at this point.

    Why are we paying an obviously impaired stroke victim to do absolutely nothing?

    Maybe the Republicans are saving him for a Presidential run, but he is a little young for that.

    Absolutely shameful he won't give a statement on this. He now has a democrat coworker now in Alexander Hamilton or whatever the guy's name was and this turtle man won't comment on it?

    So as it turns out McConnell is the senator for KENTUCKY, not Kansas. Doesn't matter, he doesn't know either.
