WATCH: Mitch McConnell Freezes Up, Has to Be Led Away During Presser

[yuna628 9,671]

Yesterday's episode was even more disturbing than the first. The aide shouted right at him like he's an idiot. Felt so bad for him. You'd think he'd be horrified and embarrassed. If he is having an absence seizure, shouting is not something you should be doing. He should have been taken to the hospital.

 

Today his doctor released a statement saying "oh he's fine" but word on the street is this doctor didn't actually consult with his supposed neurology team that actually know what's going on, and the rest of the GOP leadership and colleagues are being kept in the dark about his condition. There is a lot of frustration.

It was interesting how no one seemed overly concerned making it look like it is a known issue, and possibly occurs more than what we are seeing.

Interesting study.  I wonder if it also applies to Old Corrupt Joe.

 

PENTAGON-FUNDED STUDY WARNS DEMENTIA AMONG U.S. OFFICIALS POSES NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

 

Yet, as the authors of the RAND report note, there does not appear to be any vetting for age-related cognitive decline. In fact, the director of national intelligence’s directive on continuous evaluation contains no mention of age or cognitive decline.

 

While the study doesn’t mention any U.S. officials by name, its timing comes amid a simmering debate about gerontocracy: rule by the elderly. Following McConnell’s first freezing episode, in July, Google searches for the term “gerontocracy” spiked.

 

“The president called to check on me,” McConnell said when asked about the first episode. “I told him I got sandbagged,” he quipped, referring to President Joe Biden’s trip-and-fall incident during a June graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, which sparked conservative criticisms about the 80-year-old’s own functioning.

How Conservatives Quietly Outmaneuvered Weakened McConnell On Ukraine

 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suffered a stunning blow this weekend when Republicans in the upper chamber disregarded his repeated calls for prioritizing Ukraine funding by passing the House GOP’s short-term spending bill, which included no provisions for the Volodymyr Zelensky regime.

 

Publicly, McConnell pretended his move to finance the proxy war in Ukraine was temporarily tabled for the convenience of avoiding an imminent government shutdown. Behind closed doors, the Senate minority leader’s plan to indefinitely send U.S. tax dollars to Eastern Europe was shunned by nearly every member of his party who expressed discomfort with hinging the fate of the government shutdown on Ukraine.

 

Corporate media and Beltway insiders paint the titanic twist as a sign that the longest-serving Senate party leader in US history is losing control of his conference. The Senate Republicans who defied McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s expensive spending package, however, are simply finally harnessing the collective decision-making power they’ve always had to better reflect the party and constituents.
