I’m also hearing an unconfirmed report that he fell a second time once inside a room or office, but you know how the rumor mill is.

      Maybe Trump and his family, Musky and just all the Republicans can take up sky diving without a parachute?

      Actually, most the Democrats can join them. Especially that cunt Fetterman.

    Sorry, but all my sympathy is being used for the victims of this administration that McConnell could have prevented not once but twice.

      Idk. Knowing that he knows he’s old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he’s probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.

        When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often

      How fuck did he not break his neck or die? Fucking old man like him falls down stairs and lives? I think my hunch is correct and all the freezing up and falling down is because the man been dead for years. It’s whatever spell allowing his corpses to continue to function is wearing off.

      Wasn’t it not 2 years ago there was a picture and he showed his hands were almost completely black and he had frozen up?

      Anyway wish Fucker retire or better yet go off another way. He destroyed enough of this country already and allowed Trump to do what he doing now.

        The human body is surprisingly resilient. Even when a standard fall like this (as opposed to falling off a roof or out of a window) directly leads to death, it usually doesn’t happen right away.

        It seems likely that he’s near the end, but I don’t think that really matters. He won’t be replaced by anyone better.

          Wouldn’t surprise me if he lives another 5 years. Think pure evil can keep a body moving for quit some time.

    Socially minded leaders who show great promise in the US: mysteriously die, get assassinated or murdered before they get too old.

    Conservatives in the US: live for 100 years causing untold human misery for as long as they live

    I don’t celebrate old people getting injured (my father fell and broke a hip shortly before he died), but I won’t be sad when McConnell’s dead.

        My dad had Parkinson’s, which he fought for many years. When he couldn’t walk anywhere without falling, that was when he had only months left to live. I know that’s a very specific situation, but his doctor told me the same general statistic you did and to let him know when my dad starts falling more often. Even when he just had random falls once in a while, that was when he was within a year of the end.
