I like to think what happened is the atrophied part of his brain where a conscience would be suddenly came back online and for those 20 seconds he was consciously aware of what a monster he’d become.
I like this take. My theory is that he passed the time limit on the go-juice and they had to take him back and hit him with another dose. What kind of chemicals are they pumping into this man to keep him shuffling around?
I watched the video, unfortunately he appears to have survived.
This is a human being we’ve talking about. You can dislike him as much as you want but don’t be rude.
I say this with as much respect as it deserves. Fuck Mitch McConnell, I hope he dies a painful death, and fuck anyone who thinks that he deserves any amount of respect or human dignity. He has been undermining the American people for decades and has has helped millions of people die due to republican policy.
He blocked funding for 9/11 first responders. Are you OK with that? Those people are dying, but “oh, don’t be rude to Mitch!!”. Get fucked.
There are 8 billion humans on this planet, neither him nor any one else is special in any way. We are all just sacks of meat and then we die. So wishing ill of a particularly rotten sack of meat is perfectly acceptable.
Agreed. Hate people all you want, but outside of like Hitler or Osama Bin Laden, there’s no reason for a good person to wish for someone to die.
No reason? McConnell works to make the lives of thousands of people worse, on purpose. The world would be better if he wasn’t in it. Seems like enough reason to me.
Bin Laden was terrible but I don’t know about him and hitler in the same category.
He watched thousands of his own people and civilians get killed by the US before he reacted. Was his reaction wrong? Yes. Should he have stood trial in the US? Yes. Is he on the same scale as hitler? Not even close.
If you’ve ever had an 81yo person in your household you know that this kind of thing can just happen.
Last person I knew of who had a stroke was my friend’s dad. His wife heard him cry out and when she got to the room he was in, he had fallen to his knees and was crying, reaching up toward his head with both hands.
That’s a stroke.
Coming from a former medic, strokes are one of those issues that present a ton of different ways. Some people are in excruciating pain, others can’t move their pinky and that’s it.
I’ve trucked in an old timer who insisted he was fine and only going to make his wife stop nagging him. Guy had a brain bleed that would have killed him if he wasn’t already in the hospital.
You’re completely right though, that he’s fucking 81 and it could have been a thousand different things. Just pointing out how insidious strokes can be. I have no idea why he wasn’t taken directly to hospital.
might be something else
Do you have any medical experience that suggests something other than a microstroke or are you just being contrarian?
It would be callous, rude, and unfeeling to laugh at him. Fortunately, I am all three.
You can be sad for the person who is suffering from the effects of aging while criticizing the politician for their policies and refusal to resign despite being unfit.
God dam we need a cutoff age for being in any level of political office and a yearly cognitive test to see if they are fit for office. Hell we should be able to vote them out of office mid term if we want. Fuck these old cunts ruining thr world for profit.
