and because 50.75% of \u2018Murica are fucking idiots, they would believe it all the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Either way, sad as it is that there are still very real-life decisions, impacts and outcomes hinging on the fake-ass mortality of McConnell, it is still entertaining to see the GOP basically performing real-life <em>Weekend at Bernies<\/em> with his corpse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Sigh.\u00a0 This really is \u2018Murica.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I prefer to not waste writing on \u2018Murican politics, but the whole thing about Mitch McConnell\u2019s state of mortality is legit one of the funniest subplots in \u2018Murica right now.\u00a0 I mean, I feel like it should be pretty obvious that the old white cocksucker is deader than Spirit Airlines, but he\u2019s getting the same &hellip;
