Maybe feces-de-cat can come in here and argue how his hdhp health can be enough or not enough (depending on the time of day he is posting) with its caps

W..T..F is it with these old fart politicians? On both sides of the isle?

McConnell needs to retire, Feinstein needs to retire, JOE BIDEN needs to retire. Yes... JOE BIDEN.
Even though me as a full blown liberal likes Joe Biden, respects Joe Biden, appreciates Joe Biden, never the less Joe Biden needs to retire after this current term. PERIOD!!!!

Do we as progressives really want to see a second term president Joe Biden acting like Mitch McConnell acted today? Do we as progressives REALLY want to wait until then? You know.... that day is going to happen, definitely will happen if Joe gets his second term.

Term limits folks... Term limits.
Term limits for McConnell, term limits for Diane Feinstein, term limits for Chuck Grassley, and term limits for Joe Biden because if Joe had been term limited way back, Joe would have retired long ago by force. Never would Joe have ran for president. MAYBE Joe would have been Obama's vp but thats quite iffy, but certainly never a Joe Biden president after being out of politics for so long via term limited.

My dad is 94. Pretty much in the same shape as Biden and McConnell. I would never want my dad to run for president or to even think about it. But if my dad had the opportunity, he'd go for it. He would go for it because he has no concept of his age. He thinks he's no different now that from 40 years ago.
Age is a hard thing for really old people to accept or to grasp. McCarthy, just like Joe Biden, and Diane Feinstein, and Grassley, they all need to have some self respect and leave while they can walk away and not carried away on a stretcher.

Yeah, sure, we honor these old farts for their service and sticking it out as long as they have, but seriously.... enough is enough.
Republican do not want their kids to watch drag queens because of the ""TRAUMA"". Well, how about the ""TRAUMA"" to those kids watching Mitch McConnell dropping dead right there on TV? Or.... a president Biden????
Just watching the face of Feinstein, Biden and certainly McConnell is to me pretty trauma inducing in itself. We don't need to see THAT for gods sake.

This shit in our country with working until you drop dead is crap. I refuse to do it. The thought of dying for any company including a US government job is just unthinkable.
How embarrassing, Mitch. Time to go. Time to go. Fly away... Fly away....
And take the other 40+ old farts STILL serving in congress with you.

God damn Steve. You never hold back shit.

This probably won't make headlines. But take a look. It sure looks like a TIA (transient ischemic attack)

There's a general sickness in this country where we can watch this stuff and the first thing almost no one agrees to talk about is: why do we live in a country where we expect people totally fucked up on age and very real injury to just go out and do their jobs like that, in any capacity?

Dude is old as sin and royally fucked through his noggin and maybe spine. I hate that evil piece of cvnt, but as a general rule, we shouldn't live in a country where it is considered normal to cart out corpses for the clown show, in any capacity of any job anywhere.

It's fucked.

@zinfamous - I'm not sure it's "expected" in a very broad sense. Of course the media makes big deal about it. 'is he still alive; when is coming back; how bad is it; why isn't he back yet.

But the bottom line is that when you have that sort of power, it's basically no diff than being an addict. So just like somebody on crocodil (desomorphine, but contaminated with various toxic compounds) who sees where their flesh has rotted away down to actual, visible bone, their only thought is that next shot.

That's where Mitch is now, looking at his bare bones and saying fvck it, hit me again.

I know it's very personal too, and that's a lot of my point: it's a sickness that we have this common proclivity in us to keep pushing instead of just getting somewhere, then relaxing for life. It's a disease.

I mean, I know he's addicted to stealing from every single American taxpayer and murdering minority children and families with all of his fucking bottom up policies of rape and graft, but at what point do you decide that you've done well enough for that and just retire and enjoy your fucking criminal's hoard of rape wealth? Apparently it's not before 8 decades of doing in this country, for probably anyone that gets there.

That's the disease. And it's also the disease that none of this surprises any of us about our culture.

It's ok, it was corruption in memory module: FFFFFFFFC0000005 and FFFFF80003276AC5

Someone had to take 'ole Mitchbot off camera to reboot him into safe mode until someone can hook him up and run diagnostics.

PS: They don't even bother beta testing new RepubTard OS'es anymore? SMH!

I was all for Biden but after watching the reality of getting old, after watching Mitch almost die right on camera, I now definitely do not want Biden to run for a second term. Definitely not.

#1 Joe is too old. He's showing his age daily. Joe is not far from McConnell's condition. And trust me people, you will not want to see the president of the United States reenact what happened to Mitch McConnell.

Think about it.
President Biden is in his second term, meeting with some foreign leader, Joe goes to the podium and freezes staring into space, then must be taken away from the podium by staff with Joe having no idea were he is or of what is going on.
Nor do we want to wake up and the first thing we hear on the news is that president Joe Biden died last night of a stroke, or had a stroke. I think democrats can do much better than with Joe. No one man nor woman is bigger than the office of the presidency itself. And don't worry about Trump, he's an old fart too, he's never going to be president again. But don't tell him that.

I know old people. My dad is 94. He has been in physical rehabilitation after physical rehabilitation and it never helps because old people, and I'm talking late 80's into 90's, but old people just keep getting worse. Their bodies fail, their minds fail. There is no such thing as getting better or getting stronger or getting back to where one was a year ago. Nature does not work that way. Old people like Mitch, like Biden, like Grassley, like Feinstein do not get better, they only get worse. We don't want to see Joe Biden go thru that, not as president, not on camera.

Surely democrats have better candidates, younger candidates, capable candidates in the party who could not only run in 2024 but would actually win in 2024.
It should never come down to a case of either Joe, or no one.

Either a stroke or he stole an interns weed gummies.

 

[dingster1]

You would think, butAmerican politics is always a deep pockets and connections game, so who do you suggest?!

 

[SteveGrabowski]

God damn Steve. You never hold back shit.

If it was good enough for Roy Cohn it's good enough for McConnell.

 

[zinfamous]

He just remembered that it was his cocaine at the whitehouse?

 

[dank69]

Either a stroke or he stole an interns weed gummies.

I concur.

I wouldn't wish a stroke or other crisis on McConnell, as it's a pretty horrible thing to endure. But this sudden surge of health issues suggests it's time for him to go, and I certainly won't miss him. He's a key architect of Republican obstructionism and a general decay in bipartisanship.

 

[HomerJS]

If that were Biden, Fox would run it 24-7.

I assume Fox will call for his resignation due to age?

Is consistency expecting too much?

Would his replacement be any better for the country?

 

[Pohemi]

Looks like a mild stroke to me.

Yeah, it made me think either a mild stroke or perhaps a mild focal seizure.

It also made me wonder if it might be related to his recent concussion from his fall.

 

[Stokely]

It was his conscience clawing its way back up for a takeover before being subverted again. We all have a good person in there somewhere, its just that some are very good at burying them in not-so-shallow graves.

No sympathy for a truly crap individual. I won't cheer his illness but I can't say it bothers me. And I really don't have much hope that Kentucky would elect someone better. I can throw stones, I'm in FL and we have elected some real douche-canoes.

Kentucky likely would pick someone with even worse values but they would be hard pressed to find someone as good at political strategy as McConnell. Smart and evil is a lot worse than dumb and evil.

 

[Commodus]

Would his replacement be any better for the country?

Not necessarily, and probably not. But it's not as if things are going to improve by keeping McConnell around for much longer; any jerks who will replace now will likely replace him later, too.
