I like to think what happened is the atrophied part of his brain where a conscience would be suddenly came back online and for those 20 seconds he was consciously aware of what a monster he’d become.
I like this take. My theory is that he passed the time limit on the go-juice and they had to take him back and hit him with another dose. What kind of chemicals are they pumping into this man to keep him shuffling around?
The blood of the children SA by the church, members of the GOP, patriot front, anyone screaming groomers about the lgbtq+ community, and George Santos. And let’s not forget the blood harvest from the lgbtq+ children that are sent to re-education camps.
I like to think he shit his pants and was trying to determine the best way of getting to a bathroom without too much of it escaping his undies.
Even a small flick of conscience would make his brain explode, but with that, he is not alone in his party.
I watched the video, unfortunately he appears to have survived.
Turtles are known for their long if slow lives. And inhibiting traffic
This is a human being we’ve talking about. You can dislike him as much as you want but don’t be rude.
You’re asking us to have sympathy for someone who has ruined the lives of millions of people for his own gain and is actively continuing to do so. I hope it’s a stroke and I hope it hurts.
This is a human being we’ve talking about.
Is he, though?
That’s what the other turtles want you to believe
nah I’m gonna be rude. not everybody deserves respect
I say this with as much respect as it deserves. Fuck Mitch McConnell, I hope he dies a painful death, and fuck anyone who thinks that he deserves any amount of respect or human dignity. He has been undermining the American people for decades and has has helped millions of people die due to republican policy.
I agree with you for just about every other human in existence. Not Mitch. Fuck that traitor.
He blocked funding for 9/11 first responders. Are you OK with that? Those people are dying, but “oh, don’t be rude to Mitch!!”. Get fucked.
There are 8 billion humans on this planet, neither him nor any one else is special in any way. We are all just sacks of meat and then we die. So wishing ill of a particularly rotten sack of meat is perfectly acceptable.
Username checks out
When that fucker has done more damage and caused so much death I don’t give a damn what he is.
He’s a shit human being and I will celebrate the moment he is out of our misery because of the very direct pain he’s caused.
With all do respect go fuck yourself.

Agreed. Hate people all you want, but outside of like Hitler or Osama Bin Laden, there’s no reason for a good person to wish for someone to die.
No reason? McConnell works to make the lives of thousands of people worse, on purpose. The world would be better if he wasn’t in it. Seems like enough reason to me.
Millions
McConnell has killed far more people than Bin Laden. Just the number of people who die from lack of affordable medical care is 15 9/11s every year.
Bin Laden was terrible but I don’t know about him and hitler in the same category.
He watched thousands of his own people and civilians get killed by the US before he reacted. Was his reaction wrong? Yes. Should he have stood trial in the US? Yes. Is he on the same scale as hitler? Not even close.
Fair, wasn’t sure who else to include in the example… Mao? Lenin? The “scientist” who led all the human trials in the holocaust?
I can understand the hate. Mitch is one of the architects of the current political environment. Obstruct, shift blame, and stack the courts… he’s been a leader in all of that. The world as a whole will not be worse off when he’s gone.

What happened is he’s too fucking old to be making decisions for anyone not even himself.
He realized he forgot to hide the cumbox.
If you’ve ever had an 81yo person in your household you know that this kind of thing can just happen.
Last person I knew of who had a stroke was my friend’s dad. His wife heard him cry out and when she got to the room he was in, he had fallen to his knees and was crying, reaching up toward his head with both hands.
That’s a stroke.
Coming from a former medic, strokes are one of those issues that present a ton of different ways. Some people are in excruciating pain, others can’t move their pinky and that’s it.
I’ve trucked in an old timer who insisted he was fine and only going to make his wife stop nagging him. Guy had a brain bleed that would have killed him if he wasn’t already in the hospital.
You’re completely right though, that he’s fucking 81 and it could have been a thousand different things. Just pointing out how insidious strokes can be. I have no idea why he wasn’t taken directly to hospital.
True. I mean, strokes come in all different severities.
Hence the saying, “different strokes for different folks”.
He wasn’t taken to the hospital because he’s surrounded by garbage people who care for no one but themselves. He’s surrounded himself with them and been one of them for decades, it should come as no surprise
You must not know the signs of stroke.

might be something else
Do you have any medical experience that suggests something other than a microstroke or are you just being contrarian?

you cannot diagnose someone off a video.
As someone who works in medical diagnostics taking videos of patients so they can be properly diagnosed, I disagree with you.
deleted by creator
You don’t know anything about my line of work and yet you’re trying to teach me about it. These videos I take get sent to a specialist who makes a diagnosis from hundreds of miles away, without ever being in the same time zone.
I know you are wrong, but you can’t admit that and it’s funny.
Someone across the room held up printouts of his browsing history. It derailed him. Trust me
It would be callous, rude, and unfeeling to laugh at him. Fortunately, I am all three.
You can be sad for the person who is suffering from the effects of aging while criticizing the politician for their policies and refusal to resign despite being unfit.
Yes, absolutely. You can be sad for the person, critical of the pol, and enjoy a delicious sense of schadenfreude at the traitor’s humiliation. (Whether or not he feels human emotions at all is beyond my ken.)
God dam we need a cutoff age for being in any level of political office and a yearly cognitive test to see if they are fit for office. Hell we should be able to vote them out of office mid term if we want. Fuck these old cunts ruining thr world for profit.
Is it confirmed it was a stroke? They wheeled that cryptkeeper out to speak again later. These people are cold as ice.
Looks like it could be an absence seizure. Don’t think it’s confirmed. Given the lack of FAST symptoms other than speech problems, I’m not thinking it was a stroke.
Either that or his operating system encountered an unexpected error and he needed to be rebooted.
FAST can help to identify a possible stroke but the lack of FAST symptoms doesn’t rule out a stroke. So CVA/TIA is still a possibility along with a dozen other things.
I think he’s too old for an operating system error. Probably something mechanical. Broken spring maybe.
Well it took long enough for his colleagues to even give a shit. He just stands there for like a full minute staring into space before anyone does anything. And then they are more concerned if there’s “anything else he’d like to say” grandpa, rather than, ARE YOU OK???

Whatever retirement age is, that should be the limit.
They’ll just raise retirement age lol. Fuck the workers
Win-win!

I’ve always thought he might have PD. Freezing can occur with this. While I don’t wish the torture of neurological disease on anyone, damn this guy is a scumbag asshole.
I heard with some really old hardware you have to pick it up and drop it a few inches to re-seat the pins. Anybody tried that yet?
He tries that regularly, most recently about two weeks ago.
Lmao dude…
I hope it wasn’t a stroke and that it was something more benign like an aura seizure instead. But if it actually was a stroke? It couldn’t have happened to a better person.
Someone needs to put this video clip to a Vietnam flashback video.
“Oh fuck i left the oven on”
I’m sure no one would miss the turtle
