He's a lot of things, but "fine" isn't one of them. I hope he goes straight to the hospital for an MRI. And I don't even like the guy.

Amazing. Mitch McConnell told reporters that President Biden called him to make sure he was ok. Isn’t it nice to have a president who cares about people regardless of their party?

President Biden is a good and kind man.[/quote]

WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tripped and fell disembarking from a plane at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport this month, two sources familiar with the incident said.

McConnell, 81, was not seriously hurt, and he was seen later that day at the Capitol, where he interacted with at least one reporter.

The fall, which has not been previously reported, occurred July 14 after the flight out of Washington was canceled while everyone was on board. McConnell, R-Ky., who was a passenger, had a “face plant,” someone who was on the plane at the time but did not witness the fall told NBC News. That passenger also said they spoke to another passenger who helped tend to McConnell.

McConnell has also recently been using a wheelchair as a precaution when he navigates crowded airports, said a source familiar with his practices.

Originally, there was reporting that a ferocious pack of Wiener Dogs were spotted in the hallways of Congress before the incident, but the internet has been wiped of any mention of that.

…he had to be physically walked back behind closed doors.

You're right, Nancy. A bit concerned about who would succeed him. The devil we know or take a chance? I guess either way, all the GOP does is lose & they will fail again in 2024. They've done nothing for Americans but ridiculous & meaningless "culture wars". #LOSERS

Kentucky passed a succession rule that the Democratic Governor must apooint the replacement Senator from a list provided him by Party Officials of the party of the one vacating the seat.

As these party officials are not elected and not government officials, some people question the validity of the new law, passed when McConnel got old and the Governor got Democratic and popular. Kentuncky had been fine with the Governor picking who he darn well wanted for 218 years.

If'n I was Any Beshears I would have my very not on no list pick within an arm's length of Vice President Harris from now on, and should Mitch have an unplanned room temperature assumption, be ready to take the oath and then dare some Judge to unseat a US Senator, which once sworn in I doubt they would, especially with a questionable law as the reason. The Governor still appoints the vacant seat.

Just what I'd do

I'm not a doctor but I typed their documents for 30 years. Pretty sure that was a TIA (or mini-stroke). Not that dangerous on their own but they are a harbinger of something more serious in the future.

So he is falling so much he needs a wheelchair, but he has Fox News and his Social Media trolls going around saying Biden is unfit to be in office because he slipped on the stairs once and got his trousers caught on his bike.

Can you imagine the Republican cries if the situation were reversed? If Biden exhibited these symptoms?

Funny how that works.

As McConnell Tries to Convey Business as Usual, His Future Is in Doubt
The minority leader’s health episode at the Capitol has intensified talk about a possible succession, a prospect that his colleagues have not seriously grappled with for years.

It has been decades since there was any real uncertainty at the top of the Republican Party in the Senate. But Senator Mitch McConnell’s alarming freeze-up at a news conference on Wednesday at the Capitol, as well as new disclosures about other recent falls, have shaken his colleagues and intensified quiet discussion about how long he can stay in his position as minority leader, and whether change is coming at the top.

For months even before he had an apparent medical episode on camera on Wednesday while speaking to the press, Mr. McConnell, the long-serving Republican leader from Kentucky, has been weakened, both physically and politically. The latest incident made those issues glaringly apparent: Mr. McConnell, 81, froze mid-remarks, unable to continue speaking, and appeared disoriented with his mouth shut as his aides and colleagues led him gently away.

Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 2 Republican, quickly stepped in behind the lectern and picked up where Mr. McConnell had left off, in a scene that underscored how the lanky 62-year-old has positioned himself as the leader’s most obvious successor. It was a reminder that no one — even Mr. McConnell, who this year became the longest-serving Senate leader in history — is irreplaceable and raised questions about how long Mr. McConnell could continue to simply gut it out.

Months ago, there seemed to be a developing race to succeed him among Mr. Thune, Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, the No. 3 Republican, and Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the former whip; they are known around the Capitol as “the three Johns.” But during Mr. McConnell’s extended absence earlier this year following a serious fall, Mr. Thune moved into the position of taking charge of the conference.

oh, but McConnell has a legit reason for using a wheelchair - his childhood polio has made walking difficult, unlike Biden, whose stutter is a sign of "cognitive decline". /snark

Mitch McConnell’s Colleagues ‘Alarmed’ by Deteriorating Hearing Loss: Report

Dan Ladden-Hall News Correspondent
Published Aug. 14, 2023 7:12AM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is “plagued by worsening hearing loss” and his colleagues have become concerned about his health, according to Politico. The 81-year-old insisted he was “fine” last month after he appeared to freeze up while speaking to reporters in the Capitol, with reports following soon after that he had suffered a series of falls earlier this year. Politico now reports that McConnell’s colleagues have “grown more alarmed” about his health, with one lawmaker speaking to McConnell’s staff about whether he should consider getting hearing implants. “He was sitting there as the conversation went on around him,” the anonymous colleague said of McConnell’s hearing loss after attending a recent Senate Republican lunch.

Seems like Addison's determined to stick it out until at least the 2024 elections. As soulless and evil as he's been, Addison has mellowed (for him) and he's the devil we know. If his replacement ends up being a maniac like Josh Hawley or Marco Rubio, it will be even harder to get anything done. Plus Addison hates the Quadfectee, that's really helpful. He screwed up 2020 and 2022 for the GOP, maybe he can orchestrate one last fail. Hope springs eternal :lol:

You would think, but there is no way anyone else could keep the Republicans together screaming "NO!" Rubio et all would get Republican senator breaking ranks all over the place. McConnell seems to have his icy hands on the shriveled balls of everyone.

If he went, things are more likely to get done as it is very likely that the Republicans would start fighting among themselves in the open.

If they still follow their internal pecking order, John Cornyn would be the next GOP leader in the Senate.
