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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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???
Damn, man. These people are too old to handle this shit. Go retire and enjoy your last days. They want to hold on to power until they die. There should be a mandatory retirement age in the government. I personally would do 75 and you're out, I want to be a bit generous.
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 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.
