BREAKING ALERT: Mitch McConnell has cognitive malfunction (possible seizure or stroke) at podium. Has to be escorted away by fellow Senators.

[MAGA Macho Man]

Just happened. It's either a Stroke or Absence Seizure. Looks bad. He needs to step down. This has got to be related to hitting his head in his recent fall.

 

[deannalw]

I think we should wait to have more info before calling for his resignation.

I hope he'll be ok.

 

[OldFlame]

These people are so pumped up with power and importance they don't know when to quit.

 

[Arlette]

Turtle down

 

[Seymour Flops]

I hope he'll be OK, also.

But, it's time for him to go. Worse case scenario, a Democrat gets his seat. At least we'd know we were dealing with a Democrat.

Both of my parents are 86 and I help care for both of them. Seeing that hits close to home.

Creepy watching someone go blank.

There are a lot that should go, 4 people in the Senate over 80, with two of them being 89, and 30 in the Senate over 70, with an average age of 64. 12 in the House over 80, and 62 of them over 70 years of age, with an average age of 57. And Biden is 80, it's ridiculous. What possesses these people to keep going, ego, power, money? Is enough ever enough?

Just watched it, that was weird.

Mitch came back and finished the presser strong. But the Alzheimer's patient currently occupying Trump's job in the White House has episodes like this once a week. Why no calls for him to step down?

I think some of them believe if they stop they'll die sooner. Honestly.

You mean the current President of the United States who is getting stuff done while the GOP can't even create a platform of ideas?

The whole federal government is a joke. Half of them are senile fogies about 20 years past retirement yet for some reason despite being rich, still work in Washington, and the other half are young, demented, freaks, weirdos and druggies.

And to think just two years ago, this guy was running the Senate and GOP and making decisions that changed elections.

Either that or he is a wind up alien robot whose battery has worn down.

Possibly, but I think it's more about ego.

Power is a seduction for many.

 

[White 6]

Wow. No fan of Mitch, but that looked spooky. I hope he is OK. Here is the report, showing the freeze and discussing it on CNN.

 

[jwoodie]

Being a Senator is not as critical as being President, but both should announce their retirement.

 

[deannalw]

There may be something to that. Some folks believe it anyway. My gramps and two uncles died shortly after retirement. They were about 400 years old when they finally quit. I saw my uncle ralph often. He was like a balloon with a leak.

He's too freakin' old to be doing this, just like Joe Biden, Pelosi, etc.

Just like Biden.
