The irony of this man taking seemingly unlimited paid sick leave while he and his buddies continually block legislation to give working people paid leave as a right.

August 6th, he’ll ’take a turn for the worst’ and it’ll be announced that he’s passed. Then the crocodile tears will begin and any criticism of the brutal policies gutting the working class will be deemed “inappropriate”

It’s amazing we all pretend we’ve had this democracy and we should continue to believe in it when for decades and decades the ruling class just changes the rules anytime something inconveniences them.
