Encourage your crabs to do some light stretching because I have a feeling they will be dancing soon
I honestly cannot for the life of me understand why these fucks insist on holding onto power until their decrepit, ancient bodies begin failing one organ after another on live television. They are all incredibly rich because despite america somehow not being “corrupt” they make millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of dollars while serving a lifetime making $200k per year. If I had a tenth of their wealth I would just fuck off and nobody would ever hear from me again.
It’s truly bizarre. I have to believe that they are true believers in their version of liberalism, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise. Like, if they were just cynical grifters they would check out early, but there are so many examples currently that it must be a deeper sickness
It’s not like he’s working an assembly line, all his actual work is done by staffers, who also take care of all his personal and medical needs: driving him around, making all his meals, and literally wiping his ass. He’s basically in free hospice care, probably a much better life than retiring would be.
One answer is alienation. Pre 1940 politicians would personally apprentice ideological successors. Later, party machines would ensure transfers of power to popular candidates with similar views that could continue the older member’s political projects, while the older member retired and became an elder statesperson controlling party strategy and acting as an advisor.
But the Democrats and republicans have elided all political cohesion away, and candidates get in either through party stacking or via personal rhetoric.
So there are no political projects or institutional ideological continuity, there’s only the institution, blowing whichever way the loudest faction of capital says.
Thus ossification and gerontocracy as senior party members need to stay on because their machine will collapse if they don’t.
You see this in a lot of other organisations as well. We all know of the Trot org with 4 80 year olds at the top, a bunch of students who will bail after uni at the bottom, and no long term junior cadre.
My speculative theory is that it’s selection bias. Plenty of senators cash out and spend the rest of their lives with a cushy job on a board of directors at some oil company, it’s just the absolute sickos like McConnell who stay in it just for the power itself. We don’t notice all the corrupt politicians who just take the money and run.
microsoft forced a security update while he was in the middle of a press conference and he needed rebooting

Why the fuck they gotta be mini? Crank that shit up to 11.
@[email protected] say the line!
no more half measures walter
Just let him grind it out, until he pops it live on television - with some kind of vicious bowel-evacuation event. So the lasting memory of this fucking bastard is him on the floor in a pool of his own piss and shit and vomit and blood.
Imagine how often this is happening when he isn’t on camera, it’s probably his 10th one today
How about a show of unity and bipartisanship where him and feinstein battle to the death and both die in the process
The starting bell is a massive churchbell and the arena is an acoustic silo, and they will vibrate apart
i hope each time he comes back from the full brain reboot he is scared and completely loses his sense of self. a little taste of the painful death that i hope awaits him
Sir did you poop yourself again?
Looks almost exactly like a seizure. Has it been confirmed it’s a mini stroke?
From what I’ve read, the symptoms from both of these episodes are more consistent with a TIA. He hasn’t confirmed anything, all we got from the last one was his handlers saying that “he’s fine” (this is definitely a normal thing that happens to people who are fine btw).
He reported dizziness, displayed difficulty understanding what other people are saying (asking if the reporters could speak up), and he didn’t just “snap out of it” and return to normal afterwards. These are not typical absence seizure symptoms.
TIA
What’s that?
— TIA stands for “transient ischemic attack”, but they’re more commonly known as “ministrokes”. The difference between a TIA and a stroke is almost entirely in the duration; the blockage of a TIA lasts very briefly and causes no permanent damage, while the blockage of a stroke lasts much longer and is highly likely to result in permanent damage, if not death. The underlying cause of atherosclerosis is the same in both, however, meaning that about a third of all people who experience a single TIA will have a stroke within the year.Can you post what a legendary Half Light check passing would look like here?
[Legendary: Success] — THIS IS IT. Λήξη. Everything is finally coming back down on him. Whatever time is left is gone. A sick and frail worm wriggling from lismoniá returns to it.
— What? What’s coming down on him?
— Oblivion.Golden age of posting.
