Mitch McConnell freezes up while speaking, escorted away

[Truth7t7]

He used to be able to speak in complete paragraphs with complex clauses but now he rambles repetitiously hitting on key phrases.

I Agree, McConnell deteriorated "Fast", Biden nor Feinstein went that quick

 

[Truth7t7]

I enjoy hearing the sound of my own voice telling a story, and I’m fairly good at it. The Donald, in his heyday, was a Grandmaster as a raconteur, it’s like Hearst (Kane), only he didn’t even need to OWN the newspapers just use them to his own benefit, it was cheaper and he was good at it, still is.

I Agree 100% well said, who can deny it?

He gets more publicity from the media than any other figure in the world, "Free"!

Prime example,, CNN pays for a televised "Free" town hall Trump event a few months back, "we're gonna get him this time", end result was a Trump slam dunk and his ratings soared "For Free"!

"Real Big Smiles"!

If politicians are dangerously exciting to watch “create history” but don’t ultimately hurt much of anything I say “where’s the harm?”

 

[stevil]

It appears your personal political opinions of Donald J. Trump are at play here

Or perhaps my perception on how adults are supposed to behave.

If you are agreeing with me then you are agreeing that Donald’s oratory skills have greatly deteriorated.

 

[NxNW]

They're calling him Glitch McConnell now.

From 2016 to present, no major oratory skills have greatly deteriorated by Donald Trump as you claim, for the past 7 years his cognitive abilities are normal and basically unchanged, and that's my opinion

His recent town hall hosted by CNN in May 2023 is a prime example of his present cognitive abilities, sharp as a tack he put the ole slam dunk on the event, as his ratings soared............

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) froze for almost 20 seconds while delivering his opening statement at a leadership press conference Wednesday afternoon, prompting murmurs of concern among his colleagues and the assembled press corps.

McConnell told reporters the Senate was on a path to complete work on the annual defense authorization bill and praised what he called “good bipartisan cooperation” before freezing midsentence and staring straight ahead without uttering another word.

This is an ongoing health issues that he is managing.

He was back on stage, and working, within 15 minutes.

It's sad but you get such things when you elect 80 year old people to do a job that would be taxing for someone in their 50's.

I hope he recovers soon.

The ax is already at the root of this tree.

Timberrrrrrrrr!

 

[That Guy 11200]

Time to put him out to pasture.

 

[Mr E]

Here's the vid....

'I'm sorry y'all.... we're gonna need a minute' wink wink..... I have to push his reset button.

Some day you will get old...I really don't see the humor in this.

 

[Mr E]

Some day you will get old...I really don't see the humor in this.

And when I do, I'll be pooping myself in private at home or some nursing facility, not at a podium as Senate Minority Leader.

But I agree-- it's not funny. Retire!

Yes, the 80+ Senate club should retire.

 

[Hank77]

Again it looked to me like he was experiencing a petit mal seizure. This could have been caused by the fall when he hit his head last spring. If it is, there may be a medication that he can take that will take care of the issue.

But I agree about retirement.

I've heard that it is a consequence of concussion, and that this has happened several times.
Apart from the glitch he seems normal for him.

After some of the stunts he pulled regarding SCOTUS nominations etc, I suspect much of the country will have little sympathy as he tries to cling to power.

No, not normal. He’s in obvious decline. Two of these freeze ups in a month and if you watch until the end, he has to be guided along and walks like Joe Biden.

It’s sad that these old folks are still being trotted out by opportunists and cling-to-power-at-all-costs family members and political operatives alike.

Feinstein, Fetterman, Schumer and Senator Penguin are all examples of this and there’s many
