I’m also hearing an unconfirmed report that he fell a second time once inside a room or office, but you know how the rumor mill is.

    I’m a pacifist, so I’m inclined not to wish violence on anyone. But who am I to argue with the force of gravity?











    … or is it the pull of Hell?

      I heard that his staffers achieved this by having him sit on a leaf blower during the interview, effectively making him the first “flailing arm tube man, turtoise, Moscow mule” hybrid.

      Aren’t these interviews typically done at night? I saw the daylight in the background and thought it was very odd.

        There’s usually a main interview and then side interviews at a place of interest (workplace, crime scene, home)

    Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.

      McConnell is a big reason why we’re here to begin with. He broke the obstruction record during Obama’s administration.

      However, Dems should be taking note of how exactly McConnell obstructed so effectively and start doing it themselves ASAP.

        Agree, but one thing McConnell typically had, even as Minority Leader, was his people in line. I’m not sure the dems will ever be able to form a solid block as fragmented as we all are. Doesn’t meant they shouldn’t try though.

      Idk. Knowing that he knows he’s old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he’s probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.

        When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often

          Consider if he’s incapacitated. That takes away 1 vote in the senate. If he dies, the KY governor is required to pick from choices provided by the party of the departing senator. So they would necessarily be republican.

            I’d be hard pressed to believe they would be as evil and conniving as Mitch McConnell. So unless he’s incapacitated until he’s dead over a period of three years, without a single chance to be his fully awful self in the slightest…

            I’d still prefer my first choice.

            Edit: 2027 not 2028 for his last term.

      How fuck did he not break his neck or die? Fucking old man like him falls down stairs and lives? I think my hunch is correct and all the freezing up and falling down is because the man been dead for years. It’s whatever spell allowing his corpses to continue to function is wearing off.

      Wasn’t it not 2 years ago there was a picture and he showed his hands were almost completely black and he had frozen up?

      Anyway wish Fucker retire or better yet go off another way. He destroyed enough of this country already and allowed Trump to do what he doing now.

        He withdrew his head and neck inside his torso which can offer a great deal of protection.

        The human body is surprisingly resilient. Even when a standard fall like this (as opposed to falling off a roof or out of a window) directly leads to death, it usually doesn’t happen right away.

        It seems likely that he’s near the end, but I don’t think that really matters. He won’t be replaced by anyone better.

          He also has that “campaign contributor” money for healthcare. Grandma may be dead in a few hours after sitting too hard on a chair, but you better believe he is pumped full of every life prolonging, stem cell, rubber bones, heart pumping, illness treating, expensive drug to keep him fogging a mirror and hurting poor people.

          The difference in end of life care between poor and rich people is drastic and it shows with stuff like this.

          Plus it’s always the shitty ones that get lucky and live longer.

          Wouldn’t surprise me if he lives another 5 years. Think pure evil can keep a body moving for quit some time.

        Why would someone playing Magic the gathering pay either one light/dark mana to use push when they could use Fatal push instead, which is a solid equalizer to being on the draw against aggro/mana dorks.

        Also a good option on the play, but most decks would proactively cast thoughtseize (assuming both in hand)
