It makes me mad at myself, but his fear and confusion in that moment was cathartic. You have to hurt a lot of people eyes wide open to actually deserve the suffering of witnessing your own mind and sense of self crumbling from the inside, but Reagan was and McConnell is on that list.
We at least got to witness him experience a tiny sliver of the shame, pain, and terror of the Americans he inflicted his cruelty on for decades with a shit eating grin so he could cut his own taxes and that of his country club friends on the backs of hard working, struggling human beings.
No sympathy for the devil. I’ll remember you this way, Mitch. Now go fade away you spooky, sociopathic fuck.
Don’t let schadenfreude and tribalism blind you for the reasons for disliking this person. You don’t win in politics if your opponent dies from old age, you win by shifting the forces that decide elections. Cheering on the… lets see here… inescapable march of time on a human’s body invites much the same onto yourself in the future. That is, don’t laugh at old people deteriorating if you don’t want younguns in the future to laugh at you or your grandma. It’s a journey that we all take, and I feel like it should have some dignity in it.
I wish he and his family good health, and that the political structure around him fades into history.

Mitch lost his wifi connection and needed to be rebooted
Nah, he’s a very old model.
His 28.8k modem finally burned out. You can almost hear the “Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch” in the background when he goes silent.
He almost looked human for a minute.
I can’t see it, do I need to cross my eyes or something like one of those optical illusion images?
Wow thats actually pretty scary. It really does look like he’s having a stroke there, starting with the slurred words and just completely disappearing. I don’t agree with the guy politically but I hope he’s ok
What is the context behind this? Did I miss something bad that happened to this asshole?
He apparently blanked out while speaking - folks are speculating it was a stroke.
You definitely see the moment something happens, but this seems too subtle for a stroke.

He fell in public a few weeks ago too, but this just happened. Circling the drain finally.
