    Willie Nelson has been smoking pot for longer than most of us have been alive, including on top of the White House with Jimmy Carter’s son, he’s also outlived many many cigarette smokers and alcoholics.

    Mitch McConnell is still going to outlive most of us, because tortoises have a long lifespan, we just need to flip him on his back or drop him into some deep water.

    I never really liked these kinds of memes because throwing someone’s medical shit in their face just so you can jab at them never felt right. Life fucking sucks and will sucker punch you when you least expect it giving you a life altering diagnosis, it sucks hard. If you’re too young and think it won’t happen to you, it absolutely will. It happens to everyone except the lucky .001% if that

      Yeah but Mitch McConnell dismantled American Healthcare and actively fought to prevent 9/11 first responders and military veterans from receiving medical benefits as well. I think he’s the exception to the ‘don’t make fun of someone’s medical condition’ if there ever was one.

      We’ll make an exception for the living ghoul known as Mitch McConnell. For his crimes, may he be infested with a thousand cockroaches and have his nerves slowly eaten until all he can feel is utter and blinding pain

    I saw the Stones last year in Hyde Park. Mick Jagger is a walking (well, running) ad for every drugs he’s done.

    (Jokes aside, he works out a lot)

      I heard he does an hour of vocal warm-ups each day. I’m still amazed at how good live the Stones still are. Being this healthy at 80 doesn’t come easy, and I don’t think he’s done drugs in a while! (Keith Richards quit cocaine and alcohol around 2008 after falling off a tree he was climbing)

    I hate Mitch as much as the next person, but he fucking survived polio. He could be mumbling incoherently at this point and it would still be a huge personal and medical triumph. That’s not to say he should still be in office, but mocking his neurological condition after having survived one of the worst nerve-infecting diseases is in extremely poor taste.

        Then mock him for that, kind of my point. There’s a million things you could make fun of the piece of shit about. Going for low blows not only doesn’t address why he’s a terrible senator, but makes it look like our best argument against him is his cognitive decline.

    Yeah but he sold his soul to the Devil, and that’s why he looks like an half-baked turtle getting out of the butthole of a sheep at 81
