But funny. I don't like to wish ill on anyone, but if this is what it takes to get him out....

I just can't understand Kentuckys fascination with this man. I mean, WV had our own fossil in Robert C Byrd, so I kind of get it. But RBC never did the damage that MC did. Obstruction was his game and he ~~was~~ is good at it.

Lexington and Louisville hates him. It's just everywhere outside of those two blue dots LOVES him. The racism is good for them, the hating on poors is good with them, the homophobia is great, etc etc etc. Here in Lex we've been campaigning Ditch Mitch for YEARS (maybe a decade now lol) but the rest of the state keeps electing him every time.

I just wish that fucking horrible human being would just die already. The earth would be a lot better off.

I would have though most of the state was also poor as dirt. It's just age old tactic of keeping the poor blaming each other, so they never think to look up and see the source of the problem.

Lexington & Louisville are the only two cities in the state of any size (and small ones at that), and both are thriving wonderful small southern towns with lots to do, arts, culture, absolutely gorgeous land, hiking trails, etc etc etc... Both have a LOT of money in the cities too. Lexington also has a booming gay scene and has had for decades. We elected an openly gay mayor a LONG time ago, which for the south is a pretty big thing.

I've admitted to myself that there are people I just kinda do wish ill opon. Maybe not death or grievous bodily harm for most people, but there are people that when I think about them waking up and finding out that a swarm of birds shat on their car... Well it just tickles my pickle.

My empathy tends to run low about people that I dont know much about, but that I know hurt me and the people I care about. I think it would be ironic and vindicating that if during a live meeting of the board for Black Rock, the building they were in collapsed because of poor maintenance funding.

I gladly wish a long and painful death on any human that exploits his fellow humans to get stupid rich. Not talking about folks that contribute to society and get paid for their job, like doctors/lawyers/etc. talking about the CEO’s, investment douchebags, basically the majority of the financial sector.

I wish those folks get superaids and die bleeding from their assholes screaming in agony

Yeah, especially the people doing shit like fighting against nationalised healthcare just so they can continue to make obscene profits - I really could watch them suffer for hours without once even considering helping them

It's the R next to his name.
