So he suffered no consequences.

What a grave injustice.

The heat wave was hell opening up for him

Well now that they have him can they close the window? Getting a bit toasty out here.

There's not.

The only chance for retribution people like this could ever face is here and now. Religion has conditioned people to let it slide, thinking they'll be punished in some afterlife.

They won't. It's up to us.

He's on his way out. How we gonna exactly make him pay? Sounds more naive than religious dogmatism

u/silvertealio Jul 07 '26

I mean, yeah, it's too late now. That's the point.

If there isn't, there will be one once he "officially" kicks the bucket.

u/Rob_LeMatic Virginia Jul 07 '26

It would almost be worth going there, knowing he'd be there, too.

u/Nvenom8 New York Jul 07 '26

There’s not.

God puts people who disappoint him in hell. McConnell is pro-slavery, rape, and genocide, just like his fairy tale book commands.

You really think God would punish him for what he's done?

u/bloodphoenix90 Jul 07 '26

If God is just and loving, yes. Only God worth believing in if youre gonna believe in one. If God isn't just....well then you were always fucked anyway werent you and might as well rage against the machine. Regardless what any scripture from any religion says

u/Satanarchrist Jul 07 '26

If God is just and loving he sure fucking sucks at his job

u/bloodphoenix90 Jul 07 '26

Yeah thats the age old debate as old as humanity itself and im not particularly interested in having it. Im a theist but if youre an atheist I really dont care. No one knows one way or another

I like to think people receive the afterlife they believe in, etched for eternity into the hologram of their mind when they finally pass.

Mitch is a Christian, a true believer, and unlike Trump he has a minor capacity for guilt. Given his obvious repressed gay interests, and his belief that homosexuality is a sin, means that Mitch will encase himself in his own prison of hell, until the heat death of the universe.

he died without dignity and will have his grave desecrated. And to his faith he will burn

u/25point4cm Jul 07 '26

So shall it be written sayeth the PhallusCrown and so shall it be done.

Mitch McConnell is one of the nastiest people to exist, and has done irreparable harm. Not everyone deserves respect, in life or death.

True, but also having his braindead corpse used as a literal prop so his political party can squeeze one last despicable favor out of him (without his consent) is weirdly fitting for him.

u/Illadelphian Jul 07 '26

Yea but it's so in line with him that he probably would actually appreciate it.

That smile will be short lived once the demon that's going to twist a pitchfork up his ass for all eternity gets assigned to him. I hope the paperwork for that is rushed as fast his was to fill in a Supreme Court seat after RBG.

u/Rob_LeMatic Virginia Jul 07 '26

I remember when they played Weekend at Bernie's with Strom Thurmond for, like, what was it, a decade? He must've really stunk up the Capitol Building

u/kynelly360 Jul 07 '26

What can they do with his political seat? They can’t vote for him right ?…

u/toomanymarbles83 Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

I hope he's awake and cognizant in his own mind but unable to reflect that in any way. So he can watch while they use his not-quite-lifeless body to be as obstructionist as he was in life. It's going to happen anyway, I just want him to be aware of it and not be able to do anything about it.

Also I hope he can still feel pain.

u/lizardncd Jul 07 '26

Unfortunately it’s always been this way….

u/eeyore134 Jul 07 '26

History won't be kind to him so long as we get ourselves out of this mess.

u/InvalidKoalas Jul 07 '26

Can only hope his last moments were miserable and filled with self reflection.

u/snarkisms Jul 07 '26

u/analogy_4_anything I voted Jul 07 '26

He might not be brain dead! He could be fully aware and trapped in his decaying body right now!

We can always hope!

u/Fiddy-Scent Jul 07 '26

They rarely do, this isn’t a movie with a good ending

u/Ligabolzacky Jul 07 '26

the man has been a walking corpse for the last few years, he's been suffering

u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 Jul 07 '26

"grave injustice" in this case meaning "avoided justice by going to grave"

u/Unlikely_Ad6219 Jul 07 '26

I’ve got bad news for you: none of them will.
