Mitch McConnell wants to be Emperor Palpatine so bad

[@granville7]

he certainly is his padawan

[@Meirstein]

Can we get to the part where he's thrown down a large hole sooner rather than later please.

[@hollenbeebe]

Obviously y'all don't know this but Palpatine actually wasn't truly evil for the sake of evil. Sure he did some more than questionable shit. But it's implied he had a pretty legit reason besides the hunger for power. Look it up.

I mean its a funny gimmick but he's not that way at all in real life. I think he's such a slimeball in real life that they could have parodied him way better if they made him act the way he actually does.

[@placitas52]

I could see him seating Eric or Ivanka. McConnell would do it for him.

[@donHooligan]

it's for life...he'd probably choose Barron.

[@ursaltydog]

Could the Senate actually vote for either without rolling around on the floor pretending a heart attack? It would be the greatest insult to them and a middle finger to the Supreme Court.... and not to mention the greatest lewd example of nepotism. And then his son Eric could not be volunteered for questioning in any case against his father's company.

[@Chunkboi]

@@ursaltydog They wrongfully acquitted that steaming pile of Trump despite hard evidence. I'd say they're capable of doing something so ludicrous.

[@ursaltydog]

@@Chunkboi Yep.. and now Trump wants Biden to quit, because the senate didn't find anything on him or son with Ukraine's Barisma.. Yet, there are known wrongs that Trump's son Don Jr. has done.. his daughter Ivanka and likely Eric as well.

[@Chunkboi]
