Wow. That does not look good.

Can we have some term limits, please?

Oh goodness, I hope it's nothing minor.

proof that old fuckers shouldn't be allowed in politics due to a literally dysfunctioning brain

EDIT: to say 'ageism is bigotry' is a gross oversimplification. I'm not prejudiced against people above a certain age, I'm against the idea of allowing individuals with dementia or other degenerative conditions having political control over other people while literally having impeded brain functioning and judgement.

Conservatives when Biden does something like walk the wrong direction: omg he's senile and clearly has dementia!

Conservatives when McConnell (maybe) has a fucking legit seizure: everything's fine, nothing to see here.

I don't believe that it's discriminatory when I say that people with severe neurological disorders and dementia shouldn't be making laws.

Isn't that the type of incident you should be immediately going to the hospital for? And to maintain some shitty image of power they just yank him to the back line and have him stand there?

Republican, Democrat, Independent, Goat-Sacrificer, Whatever; we all need to vote in people that are actively working to improve the future. You know, the one boomers don't even believe in...

Anyway, remember how hard he worked to take away benefits from 9/11 first responders?

I have no sympathy for this man, anybody else want to just reminisce about the horrible shit he's done instead?

These fucking zombies will stay in the government until they decay until dust. What a fucked system. TERM LIMITS YOU FUCKS

Is it bad that I hope this is a sign of medical issues that will force him into retirement? I'm sick of a misogynist turtle calling the shots.

Unfortunately he seems to have recovered, was back out there walking and talking again before too long. Still, an encouraging sign.

No wonder America's laws are so outdated, they're made by guys who still think the 20's were the "good ol' days"

You should have to take physical driving tests every 2 years past age 65 to keep driving.

Yet we let these senile millionaires legislate our lives.

Putting aside being the worst President since Jackson on policy alone, we let drooling Alzheimer's Reagan maintain his hand on the nuclear button for years, with the help of his traitorous wife, putting all of us at risk for no other reason than to protect the "Reagan Legacy." Aww, he didn't want to be embarrassed, so we had no one at the wheel in the late 80s who could reliably remember how to tie their own shoes in the event of a global crisis, much less the names and vital details of every major world leader as they should.

I'm sorry if it makes me ableist to say, but having dementia/Alzheimer's means that the most important decision you should be allowed to make until your death is what you want for lunch. When You're broken and a danger to yourself to others, fuck your legacy.

"Doesn't he look tired"

Lmao

The libs bending over backwards to lick his arse in the name of "civility" despite spending every single day of his life working to kill the poor and inflict maximum suffering on the working class in the name of extracting the largest amount of wealth into bougie pockets all deserve the same suffering. The man has killed thousands of people with a pen. Frankly this only happening to him now that he's 81 is far less than he deserves.

Did the demon animating his corpse finally depart?

We are governed by senile folks who belong in a nursing home not ruling over us.

It is really sad and disgusting how long it took all those people standing around him laughing and joking to even respond to this. Or even see he was having a problem. And it was even dumber that they didn't escort him away for medical attention immediately, gotta make him look good for the cameras. NO. There is no saving face, get him medical help. I HATE Bitch McConnell, but damn do the right thing here.

I'm cautiously hopeful that this is the end of McConnell's leadership
