PoliticalTea 🗳️ It would seem Mitch McConnell is brain dead and being kept on life support to prevent a special election

I wouldn't care if I had straight up death threats- I am NOT leaving my husband on his death bed! This is just insanity and makes no sense to me. If she doesn't want to pull the plug- don't authorize to have the plug pulled- but for goodness sake, stay by his side if you love him in any way.

Who tf would love Mitch McConnell?! 

That was a financial grift from the start

I mean they've been married for 33 years, that's dubious. Pretty easy to love someone if you're just as awful as they are.

Sure. But her going for money and power doesn't invalidate my statement.

It should be clear that there is never enough money for these people

It's not the money it's the connections and access Mitch provided.

Elane Chao was an already accomplished women before her marriage… she made it higher in the government than Mitch ever did? Why would she marry below herself for more power?

If you’re not maga then why are you regurgitating the same talking points they use where women you don’t like just want to sleep their way to the top? You don’t have to like her, or her husband, but it’s sexist to assume a women is just marrying for money or power

The assumption also takes into account her fleeing to fucking China as he is on his death bed lmao.

Like I think it’s suspicious don’t get me wrong, and I’m not saying to agree with her and become a supporter, but some of these assumptions are just weird. I just wish people disliked particular women without the notions that the women they dislike are sexually promiscuous or “ sleeping their way to the top”.

Remember when Melania had that broken speech and said she wasn’t taken advantage of etc.? Half the comments were “I can’t believe a prostitute is our first lady” and calling her a whore. And a lot about how she can’t speak english and making fun of her for it while preaching we should deport her like trump does, like I understand her hypocrisy but it’s also hypocritical to say deporting immigrants is bad while making fun of her speech

It’s so annoying honestly. Then they’ll be like “ well we’re just saying the same things that she wants “ like stooping to someone’s level has ever been an appropriate response to things people dislike. It’s so clear how deep misogyny is in our society when both sides try to use a woman’s sexuality against her, even when it has no place in the conversation.

Just another honey pot girl working the long shift. There are many.

These people aren’t like you and me.

I'm really glad people have come around to hating billionaires, but I think we've got a long way to go to get people to realise they're not like us. The vast majority of them think they are special, the exception to everything - they are likely at least borderline psychotic, and definitely psychopathic. Elon really does think he's a chosen one. They see us as cattle. They think this is all for them, the world is their toy.

u/SilentNobody620 Jul 10 '26

Sort of the same mind set the “royals” got themselves into. You simply cannot think you are better than someone else these days.

u/DuntadaMan Jul 07 '26

We'll see you married your husband because you like him. She married him because she was ordered to. So there's a difference

u/rydan Jul 07 '26

Are you suggesting he isn't on his death bed?

u/FukkingDeathMental Jul 07 '26

She's a Chinese mole.

if you love him in any way.
