Looks like Sen. Mitch McConnell just had a stroke standing at the GOP press conference

He has no business being there. If we can cap air traffic controllers and have set retirement ages for other things, we have no business having 75+ year olds running the American government.

 

[butters]

he did come back not long after, saying he was fine but it definitely looked like a mini stroke or a petit mal episode and could be linked to the concussion he suffered not long ago

I wish the man good health.

I also wish for this to be his last day in the position.

I hope he is ok and if it is a stroke, he puts his health above politics.

 

[phrodeau]

He just needed to be hooked up to a charger for a few minutes.

 

[Dribble]

That was just the Devil letting ol’ Mitch know that it’s getting close to the time when their contract will be settled.

One of the happiest days of my life was when my father-in-law failed his state-mandated vision re-exam at age 75 and could no longer drive.

What about Biden? Trump? Hillary? etc etc

Yup them too.

As far as I'm concerned no person over the mandatory retirement age should be in any position in federal government. President, VP, senator, representative, judges - kit and kaboodle.

They are too far separated from the younger generations and their "prime" was two generations - or more, heh - ago.

As to Biden V Trump, even given the above I'll vote for the older Biden.

oof.

[Pad_Foot]

Yup? All “they” can do is make fun of Biden

Mitch and Diane both need to hang it up!! Ginsberg failed to do it early enough!!

GOP? You best worry about who you will need to pick from on after we take Biden out of your sight. What infantile trait will you choose? Their number of impeachments, indictments, or convictions ?? How about divorces?

“Yo Melania, it’s time to cut and run!!”

As for Mitch? I hope he lives a damn long life once he retires !!

hmmmm, well then IF the “pubs push an impeachment through the House, the Senate has gotta wait to make sure we have a 100% Mitch for the trial. He was so effectual in the last trial- we need that same keen eye.
