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.

      oh i don’t have an ounce of sympathy for the man, but it’s also very disappointing in the state of humanity to see how many people are making fun of him, given the fact that many of those same folks were upset at the reactions the right had about fetterman.

      like, no sympathy is required, but if the community could maybe not stoop down to the level of the people we say we can’t stand, that’d be great

      not that you did that, but it’s definitely a trend i’m seeing

          Because a Democrat governor would appoint until a special election is held and he would rather die than let that happen

            Perversely, KY legislature passed a law specifically requiring the Governor to appoint a replacement from the same party. It was vetoed, and veto was overturned. No dem replacement despite Beshear in the governor’s seat

            Nope. In Kentucky the Governor must select from a pool of 3 candidates that the GOP gives them.

      He’s got the gaunt face of a man who’s withering away. My grandpa, a much better man than McConnell, looked like that for the last few months of his life, despite spending the majority of his life with a slightly pudgy face. It is truly ghoulish the way they parade politicians like McConnell and Feinstein around as if they still have all their wits, when really they should have retired years ago. Hell, half the senate should have retired over a decade ago, but both parties value incumbency too much
