If there were ever a man that didn't deserve any sympathy for something like this, it is Mitch McConnell.
Pretty much.
Oh, he’s being used by others in his party while his cognition declines? Guess what he was doing before that happened.
I can’t stop him if he plans to die standing up, but since he chose to stand directly on the face of America, he gets no tears from me as he goes.
Pos got free care for his polio and now thinks free healthcare is communism.
I watched my father get sick and pass away. This symptom was something I saw in him a few time. Seeing this video hit me pretty hard. everything else aside all I could think was "this is sad"
This. If there was ANYONE whom I’d wouldn’t p!ss on if he was blazing glory its this crotch turtle
This was a really odd scene, dude just stares right off into space and comes back to say he's fine. That was a classic seizure if I ever saw one.
Yup my grandpa has seizures like this too. Maybe 81 year olds shouldn't occupy powerful leadership positions?
What! You’re saying the system of oligarchic gerontocracy we’ve had for all of modern history, that is literally burning our planet, should be changed?
Blasphemy!
Congress, the President, and judges need a mandatory retirement age. We have them for pilots and air traffic controllers. I would set it at 65.
they dont in most countries
My first thought was that it may have been a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). My mother had one; she was utterly confused for a while but then fine afterwards, except that she lost her memory of several hours preceding the attack. It is similar to a stroke but it is over quickly and doesn't leave much damage.
It’s even stranger to me that nobody reacted or did a damn thing for a good 10 seconds. Then they took him backstage and prepped him for questions, rather than taking him to THE FUCKING HOSPITAL LIKE NORMAL HUMANS WOULD.

These are Republicans though. Simple human care and compassion is not their strong point.
Just fucking die already Christ.
Well, you’re about 2,000 years behind, but boy do I have some good news for you…

It’s crazy. I try to temper malice, but I agree with Jaderick
This angers me.
This man gets to inflict suffering on millions of people but now he gets to be coddled by the state he's trying to destroy. Going to sit in that seat for as long as possible being puppeted and destroying more lives while he rots from the inside out.
He's going to be Feinstein all over again.
Term limits are needed throughout the government.
My state has them and it sucks. Lobbying firms basically run the congress. Nobody there knows what the fuck they are doing so they just boost the shit that lobbyists hand them. Legislative work is a career, why is that a problem? I don’t want beginners fixing my car, why the fuck would I want a noob writing my laws?
Age limits: yes, it is time. Term limits: sound great but don’t work well.
Remember Strom Thurmond?
The difference is that the GOP will discard him immediately in order to fill his vacancy with a useful idiot unlike Feinstein who refuses to go.
Dude straight up shit himself. I have seen dogs make that same look. Term limits would fix this.
Did anyone try turning him off and on again?
I nominate you to be in charge of turning him on.
yo so one fuck this guy, but also this is just sad to see. fuck this dude's people for riding this shit train until it's dead.
Is it finally happening?
Nah, someone finally found one of his phylacteries but he’s got like six more
Dude probably shat his whole self
There are too many politicians in DC who are too old to handle the most basic parts of their job without the assistance of aids. People need to stop voting for these dinosaurs.
That’s the catch isn’t it.
ISN’T IT, KENTUCKY.
Kentuckian here to say there's a good third of us or more that have some sense, but 30-40% doesn't win elections
They do though, but only when they bother to vote, gerrymandering not withstanding. Republicans historically have higher turnout than Democrats which is sadly why they have disproportionate representation.
Thats the face of someone who just shat their pants and blames the youngins for it.
Listen... It's fine, it's fine... Just a little Mitch Glitch, nothing to see here.
I think he had a focal seizure. He def should not be in office.
In case you wanted to watch it happen and not deal with the mobile cancer that is any major news outlets website.

Glitch McConnell
Damn his skin looks like wax. Quite disturbing
Those pursed serpent lips on that waxy turtle noggin. I know that’s shallow but, oof, it’s time for this guy to go home and eat live rats or whatever he does in his free time.
Dude’s literally demented.
Tots and pears.
Thots and playas. I think he’d really appreciate that
