Did Mitch McConnell Have a Stroke?

Truth is we all gotta go sometime. He's had a good ride, why someone would want to work at that age is beyond me especially if wealthy. He should have bagged it 20 years ago and enjoyed life.


These people can't walk away. They like what they are doing and their people won't let them leave. Feinstein's people ran cover for her for months because if she goes they go.

These folks have a lot of staff that depend on them for a paycheck. If their senator or representative retire, they would be forced to find real work.

As I said earlier, my mom got these - she'd be talking - suddenly freeze - her facial muscles would droop - and a few seconds later, she'd pick up right where she finished mid sentence, except she would have dropped her fork or cup and ask how that happened.

She had NO IDEA it had happened. For a long time, she just didn't believe it. But it happened some years ago while she was driving with my Dad, and it caused the auto crash that eventually took his life and seriously crippled her.

I DO think he should resign, he's clearly not well. I don't know what the laws are in Kentucky, but it may be that the Democrat governor can appoint a Democratic senator (some states require an elecion, others actually require a member of the party of the person who resigned). Years after the accident, my mother believed she was cured and would drive by herself, unaware she posed a danger to herself and others.
I'm sure it's hard for anyone who's had a seizure to believe or admit they have seizures let alone stop driving. If you think about it, it's something you've done the majority of your life and to give up that freedom...gotta be hard. But...having said that...I worked with someone who developed seizures in her forties. She was still on the road, claiming that she just knew when she was going to have one and would pull over and everyone out there would be safe. Medications are not always the fix. My son is on 36 pills a day, he still has seizures from time to time.

My guess is that's what's going on with McConnell. He had the look. And I think he should resign as well for his own well-being and that of everyone that loves him.

My sympathies for what happened to your parents.

I just this second saw the clip. It was frightening - not because he's a politician and responsible for things, but because he's a human being and I was seeing it happen in real time. My son has seizures and sometimes they're exactly like what I saw this morning; the immediate stop in the middle of a sentence and the eyes that looked frozen. I really hope he's okay.
You are a good person ☺️

This is why..... the rush of being in control of things and having people at your beck and call and seeking you out

It must be a sad, sad life, if your job defines your self worth to this point. Without your position, you are nothing.
