All jokes on this fucker getting what he deserves aside. How sad is it this is the state of our politics. The rest of us are watching this dude, who is in charge of major decisions that affect our collective lives, literally βstroke outβ when being asked a simple question.
Just looking into those soulless eyes with bated breath like we are going to hear something other than nonsense dribble off of his chin.
I see it and all I can think of is those gross βwise menβ from the movie 300.
This is what the death of democracy looks likeβ¦
You call it silence, I call it Mitch speaking his ethics.
I've seen this before. His Hard Drive is dying, need to swap it out for a SSD. That should give him another 2-3 years!
They already did, but they could only afford a RAM-less QLC model with all the cash they're funneling to Trump.
Pack it in, he's done.
This is what you get after years of just switching off the power instead of shutting down safely.
I wonder if he's going to run for
Snap out of it, Mitch!
Probably my greatest fear is my mind going and shutting down like that. I wish him the best and hope he gets the support needed.
Considering this dude is the reason many will not be able to face a heath crisis with dignity, I hope this process is as undignified for him as possible. Fuck this guy. I hope he trips over his own bootstraps.
yep, this guy has never not been evil to the core. reading his bio makes me want to go watch mr rogers to restore my faith in humanity.
He has access to the best healthcare this country is capable of. He'll be just fine.
I guarantee that if we required or government leaders to play in the same healthcare sandbox the rest of us are forced to, we'd have universal healthcare in a matter of weeks.
Oh, I know. But a man can dream. Iβm hoping he completely melts down on live tv one day to add to the indignity. Itβs about the only closure we will get for his injustice.
I hope he fucking dies
I mean, I'm looking forward to the fracas of their senate caucus elections but it doesn't sit right with me to practice the mental pathways that make it easier to wish death on anyone.
He will. As will we all
Yeah, but most of us won't make the world a better place by doing so.
The only support this pussbag deserves is a set of pallbearers.
You people need to be more considerate of your elders. Cramps from gas pains can easily make someone freeze up. And we all know Senator Mitch McConnell is full of hot air and shit!
I would love to hear an educated medical opinion on what could be happening. I suspected the first one was a stroke but since it happened twice I have no idea what could be going on.
Neither educated nor medical, but the first one that was televised looked quite like an absence seizure, only a bit longer.
His staff for that one seemed to handle it fairly smoothly. Couldn't decide if their reactions indicated familiarity with such episodes happening to him, or just decades of media training to glide through the unexpected.
Elon musk is controlling him remotely with his mind implant. Unfortunately the Bluetooth sometimes goes out.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.
The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras.
McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, βIβm fine.β
Once McConnell re-engaged, he responded briefly to another question about Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican; his aide needed to repeat the question to him.
McConnell was then asked about former President Donald Trump, another question that had to be repeated.
McConnell spoke for about 20 minutes on Wednesday before the question-and-answer session with reporters.
