This one is worse, significantly worse. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell freezes again while taking questions from reporters on Wednesday at an event in Kentucky. This very disturbing cognitive disconnect is raising additional concerns about the 81-year-old’s health.
The episode happens after a reporter asked him about running for re-election in 2026. WATCH:
WASHINGTON – […] Senators quickly sought more information about McConnell’s health after the incident, according to one person familiar with the dynamics. Shortly after the Wednesday incident, McConnell held calls with his closest allies including Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), Conference Chair John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), according to people familiar with the calls. All of them are potential successors to McConnell.
Mitch needs to ask Hunter for some cocaine. He could use it.
MK Ultra? Asking for a friend…
2:12 But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption,
I hope he’s “vaccinated “
He probably got Hunter hooked. He had the name “Cocaine Mitch” for a long time.
It’s freaking sad. The man looks like he’s already been embalmed.
Cocaine Mitch sure can use some, too bad his pal Joecaine Biden got his personal stash confiscated by his babysitters, now Mitchy has got the jones.
Deja vu in the Matrix?
Just another pathetic patient in the geriatric nursing facility we call the senate that should be removed once and for all.
AMEN!!!!!!!! 70 is old in the for profit business world.. These 80 year old politicians are pathetic and worthless.
They have to get as much money and favors as possible for their offspring to continue their legacy
The US has.become the laughing stock of the world tbh. If not for this Kabuki the world wouldn’t be on fire and crumbling.
This is part of it. It isn’t Kabuki.
“6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
Fukkem all, better – off to the glue factory with him.
Who knows the story on Barrasso? The other two are Rino extraordinaire.
They are all on Chyna Mitch’s posse.
Thune is the successor.
They are just pretending they don’t know that.
Why wouldn’t Kentucky get his Chinese national wife Elaine to fill out the remainder of his term. It is a perfect way to actually have communist skin in the game, while upholding a time honored tradition in Washington.
Oh that would be if he passed. Sorry, he is still with us.
Wong tong anyone?
Sum Ting Wong with that guy.
Classic. We’ll done.
Vapor Lock…
It’s just rare to see it in a man when he is standing 😉
Mitch had another absence seizure just like the last one. It’s a kind of epilepsy.
He be jeebie.
The Governor would appoint his successor.
Chosen from a list provided by our very conservative legislature.

Many times when a Senator or Congressman dies in office, the wife is appointed to fill out the term. Having the Chinese wife step in would be scrumptious to Beijing.
Liz Cheney rumored to be moving to Louisville?
Yep. They always vote as a bloc, for the wrong side. Every time.
I call him barasshole. Back when obommer got 100% of the vote in a ohio and philly precinct I called him and told him that was impossible, and showed a fraudulent election. His response was “thats not WY’s problem”. Right bub! Its americas’s problem. And by the way look where it led us too!!!!! -_-
In 2008 multiple precincts in Isla Vista California, home to UCSB, achieved 100% voter turnout, including one precinct with just under 130% turn-out. The system has been rigged for some time.
A Santa Ynez Newspaper Publisher named Nancy Crawford Hall sued because a local candidate she endorsed for Supervisor, Steve Pappas, lost his race by a handful of votes. Crawford-Hall lost her voter fraud suit in court initially, then won on appeal but later the appellate decision in her favor was eventually over-turned. This woman spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending our right to have our vote counted.

It’s an ALMOST insolvable problem when the judges are corrupt – as they’ve obviously been for a long time. I am rightfully worried about the SCOTUS overruling what the marxists are trying to do to DJT.
Are we really ready to be the people from Athens, TN?
I believe we are.
Praise the Lord
The cabal in that region is a very scary beast.
It’s bitten deep and its jaws are locked.
Thank you. Was afraid of that.
We keep it around for cleaning copper pots and pans. That’s about all it’s good for.
We have a solid replacement for Barrasso running this round…
Time to out him out to pasture, along with Feinstein and Futterman.
And 47 others…is the pasture big enough?
…keep going…
They all have plenty of grass to graze on.
He’ll no more reach a 2026 election than Biden the 2024.
He can’t step down or retire. If he does, he won’t be able to protect himself from what’s coming. Zombie Senators and Congressional Leaders don’t dare walk away. All their misdeeds will become public.
I believe this to be the real truth. Hope and pray they will be caught!
I join you in asking the Lord to send his angels to rid the capitol of its demons and expose the corruption therein.
Many of us have decades of unanswered prayers for just that request.
I pray every day that God will confound those who have betrayed us.
I was wondering if the misdeeds are about to become public and that’s contributing to his failing state. Same with Biden and Feinstein. There was also a recent odd episode with Pelosi’s husband.
Garland looks like a complete ghost. Wray isn’t looking so good either. Raffensberger looks like he’s a dead man walking.
Big question is, what do they already know that we don’t yet know?
Two statements come to mind, “We caught them all.” and “If he wins, we’ll all hang.”
Can’t have him resign the seat. Some on this board has referenced a statute passed by the Kentucky legislature that the governor must pick from a slate of candidates provided to him by the party of the senator who resigns. beshar told them to pound sand, remember, ‘rats don’t have to obey the laws. beshar will appoint a ‘rat regardless of the statue. Bet on it if the turtle resigns the seat. It’s then 52 ‘rats.
52? They already have about 95 rats… what difference does another make?
Sad to say, but true.
Nope. Our very good AG has the Kentucky SC on speed dial. Beshear has been shut down multiple times. However, there will be a delay between McConnell stepping down and a replacement being named, a time in which the Democrat majority increases by 1.
Bye bye Mitch and take Joe with you.
This is why term limits should have been established over 50 years ago. I could include more words about him and several others, but I will follow the guidelines for polite speech here.
Term limits are already available- us voters or maybe just the counters never seem to use our tool in the primaries or general elections.
I think term limits would actually make the seats even more susceptible to being bought cause re-election concerns would be completely taken off the table for the last term.
Need mandatory physicals including cognitive testing, and random drug testing for elected officials.
Hard to believe that the old degenerate is in even worse shape than FJB.
It goes to show that his greed and lust for power will overcome any obstacle – the main thing is just to stay alive and in office as long as possible.
How is it even possible that we have such incapacitated and incompetent people like FJB, Frankenfeinstein, Fetterneck and Freeze Man Mitch at the highest level of power in our country??
It’s disgusting that these scumbags can’t be forced to leave office, one way or the other. Our once great County gets in more trouble every day.
They’re communists clinging to power – just like all the other communist regimes.
Good evening, you typed that better than I was going to.
It not just his greed it is the real puppet master who prop these people up and have them on life support like RBG while flipping off the country and spitting in our face.
Nice alliteration.
Each Senator ( Turtle)has many employees working for them. They have to keep the Senator going so they can get their paycheck.
Amen Seneca! But at least it does seem that a lot of those that used to walk around like a Lemming heading towards the cliff, are seeing how gravity works when they’re a thousand feet up! We are finally seeing awakenings. Need many more!
Does Vegas have odds on who will be first to soil himself in front of a camera?
Someone posted a clip from Twitter showing a geriatric compilation including Gerry Nadler pooping his pants. I’d heard about it but never saw it. Amazingly embarrassing. But they just keep on. Hard to believe.
McConnell needs to stay in his seat until he can be replaced by a Republican, but relinquish the title of Minority Leader.
Won’t happen.
KY republicans screwed the country over and over and over again by electing this turd. Same for AZ and SC and a lot of other states.
If you want better politicians you will have to get better voters first.
I know, I don’t get it. He did nothing but screw the coal industry over, and their State in general ?
I’m not at all sure he was elected.
If you want better politicians you will have to get rid of election fraud. Period!
You actually believe Kentucky’s elections were not rigged.
Not as bad as many states.
Would you rather we elect a Democrat? BYW we did not elect him as Senate leader. Your senators did that. If they had not done that, he is just anther RINO.
Fraudulent elections have been happening for longer then people realize.
He was endorsed by President Trump
Dude is shot out worse than Feinstein, Biden and that idiot Fetterman from Pennsylvania combined.
Perhaps there’s a shortage of adrenochrome.
What a blessing that would be…
The Vax?
I’ll bet Mitch was one of the many on Capitol Hill who took ivermectin.
Maybe part of it, my thought is that most of this is due to what Seneca the Elder said.
His age. He is already past the average age of living for the avg man. Satan is at his heels.
Age and the endless stress of evil combined?
There seems to be quite a bit of fraud around the Covid Vac/shot. … Overall the ill effects seem to affect the ‘little people’ the most, and NOT the ruling elites. … There’s an enormous amount of information about the Covid Vaccination/really a shot being potentially Harmful and Useless; the information is available on non-traditional news sources. … The big Favored news groups censor any negative stoires about the Covid Vac/shot.
TheConservativeTreehouse ~Update: So, you did not take the Covid-19 Shot, WHY NOT? An excellent article, with about 4,400 comments in reply, ~54 pages of comments. ……. +TheConservativeTreehouse ~ The Usefulness of Covid=19 FEAR.
[An enormous about of information is available on the Internet about the potentially Harmful and Useless shot.]
He fell a while back and suffered a concussion. He was in the hospital for quite a while, as I recall.
Looks to be some permanent damage.
Time to step down Mitch,
Time to
step downconfess Mitch,2024 is ripe for Obama’s fundamental change. The turtle was supposedly the Rs best in working the Senate. I don’t believe it, it just matches up for a complete rolling up into the Uniparty. We will all stop pretending. Them and us.
McConnell’s method of working the Senate was collecting payment for preserving the Uniparty status quo. Republicans controlled House, Senate, and President 2016-2018 and both McConnell and Ryan pretty much sat on their hands.
I’m not going to pretend that I give a damn about his well being, because I don’t! That may be wrong, but that’s how I truly feel
These are the people running our country. God have mercy and help us.
They aren’t China is.
Perhaps China and the WEF taking turns…
They’re like separate crime families. Sometimes their interests align, sometimes they compete.
TIA or mini stroke.
My 98yr old grandmother had them.
One ‘disappears’ until the episode is over.
Feinstein. McConnell. Wtaf….
What an absolutely broken Congressional system we have.
And no
I dont feel sorry for them…at all…because they, along with Biden, are allowing themselves to be used with their frailties publicly exposed.
Grifters all
Saw same in Mother-in-Law. Scarry at first then immensely sad.
Anti-stroke medicine kept her with us ~5 more years. Passed peacefully in her sleep at 94 y/o.
I’m with you though on the professional political class … no pity.
After the lady ran up and loudly asked Mitch if he heard the question, the reporter should have said, “I’ll take that as a no, he’s not running for reelection.”
😂😂
The thought of running for reelection may have triggered his TIA.
Between Mitch, Joe, Dianne, Fetterman, and Nancy….who the hell is actually running our country????
Obama’s handlers’ handlers.
Obama and his minions.
Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street.
🎯
This is sad and elder abuse.
Biden, McConnell, and Feinstein need to be at home with their family for care and protection.
No, what’s dad is how this vermin have destroyed our country. He should have been taken on a one way trip to the Everglades years ago. I have zero pity for these self absorbed piles of 💩. How many of our best died in unnecessary wars on their whims at the behest of their pimp bankers?
If their families actually cared about them, they would have been gone long ago.
Only if their home really is Gitmo.
Please resign.
I’d clap for that.
“ Shortly after the Wednesday incident, McConnell held calls with his closest allies including Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), Conference Chair John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas)”
Let’s pretend like everything else that this is normal.
If one watches the long version, Turtle did this twice…hands unable to be peeled from the lectern.
Literally Clinging to Power.
His mouth
Look at his mouth!
-his dead eyes and mouth spoke biggly
He was having a conversation with Joe.
Control + Alt + Delete
Not gonna lie, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
These political ingrates have no family. [sad] Only a wife of greed and hate would put one out in public.
He has three daughters from his first marriage.
Good God.
At this point he is a listless vessel whose vanity is so much a part of him that he would most likely consider it an honor to die in senate session, even better if he was on the speaking on the floor. I wish him a most peaceful night sleep.
Elder Abuse we’ve seen this before.
Uh, I think in this case it may be self-abuse.
(And no, not that kind…)
Haha
I’m sure Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear-Democtat-is licking his chops. No doubt the Democrats are.
But honestly, I can’t the difference between them; six and one half dozen the other.
The governor can only pick a replacement from the same party of the person leaving from a list developed by the (currently) conservative legislature.
I’d be delighted if you provide the reference or documentation for your assertion.
https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2023/07/28/heres-how-kentuckys-law-works-for-filling-u-s-senate-vacancies/70484359007/
It’s not the legislature it’s the executive committee of the party of the senator that is being replaced, to serve up 3 names
There are no restrictions on a governor’s choice in 35 states, while four states do not allow governors to fill vacancies at all, instead triggering special elections to fill the Senate seat.
In 10 states, including Kentucky, the person appointed by the governor to fill a vacancy must be of the same party as the departed senator.
Kentucky is one of seven states where the governor must choose from a list of three individuals selected by the state party, while the governors of Arizona and Oklahoma can choose any person they wish who is registered to the same party as the senator creating the vacancy.
In Utah, the state legislature gives the governor a list of three names to choose from, who must all be from the party of the senator who left office.
Always appreciative of new information. There may not be light at the end of the tunnel, but I still remember what sunlight feels like….
Governor Beshear has apparently stated he will ignore that law. Setting up a confrontation with the Kentucky legislature. I’d like to think they quickly impeach him since the governor has clearly stated his intent to break the law. Beshear doesn’t have the usual lawfare firewalls to hide behind.
Did that woman even think of calling an ambulance? I guess not.
Maybe she is a veteran of this type of episode and it’s only an increase in frequency that’s allowed us an opportunity to witness a now common event.
Hint: If its happening every day at around 3:00PM then moving forward it’s probably best not to schedule press events at 2:30………..
A frozen politician is one of the very best kind. For 30 seconds the American people were not betrayed. It was glorious
I think you just won the internet with that. Nice work.
I dislike Mitch McConnell intensely. I believe he is one of the major contributors to the shape our country finds itself in. I believe he has stabbed us all in the back and we are just now finding out what a traitor he is.
Having said that, I am so sad to see him in this shape! I would much prefer he be fit so that I could take him on as an equal. As it is, I am saddened and so very sorry that he cannot seem to let go of his seat and just go home and take care of himself.
Whomever is aiding and abetting him to remain in government does not love him and does not care about him.
Same as with Joe Biden. He disgusts me. Both men are evil and corrupt, but it isn’t a fair fight for them to be so diminished. They both need to step down now.
There is only one rule when all that is left to do is fight.
Do whatever it takes to WIN ! ! !
Glitch McConnell is a loathsome individual. While I care not to see people suffer, his public demise is a fitting reward for his years of service. Just look away. Get behind me satan.
Glitch McConnell. 😂
They are mocking us. This guy. Fetterman.
They are in charge and giving us the finger.
He’s done.
As with Feinstein, Fetterman and Biden, one has to wonder exactly who is running their offices.
He can’t even comprehend the question of running for re-election, yet we are supposed to believe he has the cognitive ability to understand what he is voting on?
Yet the left will still mock and question President Trump and whether he is too old to run for office. And they will be joined by many RINO’s.
KY should demand he retire or just replace him if he refuses.
To quote President Trump, “He’s shot.”
He’s a pre-paid traitor like Biden.
China is trying to keep their puppets in as long as possible.
Ahhh, so that explains it. One of his strings broke.
Like all of us, McConnell will soon stand before the tribunal of the Holy and Righteous Judge and he will be required to give an account of his (mis) deeds.
Justice will be served.
I don’t know if it’s worse than the last one, but he needs to retire.
My wife is 79; diagnosed four years ago with Lewy Body Dementia and parkinsonism. What the hell does that have to do with the senator from Kentucky? Or perhaps a senator from CA or PA? Or the current part-time occupant of the White House?
My wife and I will celebrate our 42nd anniversary next month (we courted for four years prior to that before she set the hook for good). Now, I am her sole caregiver and not one job in my life (including 22 years in the Marine Corps), nor one positive instance or circumstance that could have ever benefited me, has been more rewarding or special to me than the last four years.
I won’t ask these individuals to step down. Not sure they’re capable of making that rational decision. No, my plea would be to their families to rid yourself of your greed (if that’s what it is) and intervene and grab hold of what cherished time you have left with them.
I pray ceaselessly that God will grant me a few more years with my special lady. Nothing…nothing is more precious than that.
Remember McCain leaving his deathbed to cast the vote needed to stop the repeal of DeathCare?
You speak with your soul. I wonder if these even have one.
What a great guy you are. Your wife knew where to set her hook. :-). God Bless You.
I believe if we’ve earned the right we will all meet again in a much better place
And it’s Gunner for the win! Godspeed brother….
What a beautiful tribute to your wife! Your story brought tears to my eyes. I so hope your prayers are answered.
Job well doing Gunner. There is a very humbling gift
to those which Love and Care. It is a free will gift which
is rewarded from God’s Treasures from Heaven.
God’s Loving Comfort and Patience continue.
Uncommon Valor Is A Common Virtue – Still
Former Leatherneck,
Semper Vivium
Gods blessings upon you Great sir and your beloved. I pray you have more time together in this world.
God bless you Gunner!
Prayers for you and your dear wife. God bless you and thank you for your service!
“The episode happens after a reporter asked him about running for re-election in 2026.”
Yeah, I think McConnell answered that reporter’s question in his own, unique way.
Will we get the taxpayer payoff list, the Public has been demanding, from this defender of the depraved Congress.
I despise The Turtle as much as all y’all. But I do have to acknowledge his role in getting us Trump’s Supreme Court. He masterminded those confirmations and outfoxed the Dems. He is a Senate Parliamentarian genius, and perhaps the strain of it all has finally taken a deep and costly toll. I mean, 81 isn’t that old for the Senate. LOL.
