    Pour one out for the staffers. This was almost certainly the pinnacle of their elder abuse careers

      Well, now they have something for the portfolio. They'll move onto another old mummy because of their success rate with her. They had her voting on something fucking YESTERDAY. She voted, went home and fucking DIED of old age!

        she didn't actually vote in the vote, it's possible she actually died during the vote lol

          I watched a video of it earlier. I couldn't see her, and someone much younger cast her vote for her.

          How the fuck is this allowed? Oh wait. There are no rules for the people who make the rules

            There's this great video of a Texas legislative body where everyone's like leaping over their desks and using long poles and shit to vote for all the other legislators who are absent. It's like the most pathetic sport you can possibly imagine.

            One of those small moments in which the real nature of liberal electoralism shows through.

      No shortage of geriatric Senators they can gloom on to. Maybe they can go work for McConnell next.

        It's also really funny this legitimately removes any moral high ground the libs could have in criticizing McConnell.

        "You let a corpse get pushed into the senate to fake a vote 6 hours before she died" is a legitimate reading on the situation.

        For a bunch of people who only seem to care about winning the mythical undecided moderate they really don't make much effort to take the easy moral high ground when it's actually presented to them.

        Legitimate question, is it?

        Every other senator just watched them shove an unresponsive corpse in front of cameras for years, destroying her legacy with anybody who doesn't have a Rachel Maddow haircut, to avoid having to do any competent political work.

        Would you hire the guys from weekend at bernies to work in the nursing home you live in?

          This was always going to be her legacy, she was a liberal ghoul, she just lived long enough to become a literal ghoul

          Destroying her legacy of what, being an awful person even by the standards of her own time?

          It shows the staffers are willing to abandon all morals and ethics to play ball and let an elderly person hang onto power until they literally die.

          This appeals to certain kinds of politicians in DC, turns off others
