Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, who froze during a news conference Wednesday and earlier this year suffered a concussion after falling down, has also endured two other falls this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

    Am I the only 1 that could hear the slurred words in his speech for a good couple of years ? Surely someone with health issues where it impacts the brain such as strokes shouldnt be anywhere near any sort of power.

      He’s always kind of slurred though.

    It’s feeling very ‘Weekend at Bernies’ in the White House.

    Good. With how much he’s fucked over our country, and it’s people, he deserves a rough go. Can’t wait for him to croak. Fucking loser. I have 0 sympathy.

      If it was a TIA they’ll probably put him on eliquis. Few months of that and his blood will be so thin, the next time he falls he’ll bleed out from a subdural or a hip fracture. Can’t wait.

        Wonder if that’s why his hands were so bruised a while back?

          All old people get like that once you hit your 70s.

          My mom degloved her hand a few weeks back when reaching into a kitchen drawer on the wood. And she didn’t even feel it.

    As the weather finally cools off, I wish Mitch has himself an exceptional fall…

    Why couldn’t one of those times be out of a plane, mid-flight? It’s just not fair.

        I picked up my grandma probably 20 times in the last year.

        The worst times are when he falls in the shower and he’s naked and I have to pick him up bc he can’t get up himself and my grandma is unable to pick him up

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
