Mitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing during a news conference
A few minutes later, the Senate minority leader walked back to the news conference by himself.
Has the appearance of a transient ischemic attack. But apparently "he's fine"

The US of A is governed by dying greedy geriatrics
He is 85. What the fuck drives you besides greed and power to stay in Congress past your 70th? He will probably die in a couple of years, but still clings to this power trip with bare hands. Just illustrates how fucking greedy and corrupted that mf is.
The issue is seniority rules. You only get the real power (committee seats, etc) after you've been in the senate for decades. Giving that up is probably hard if you've spent decades climbing that ladder.
Oh, no, those poor old fucks. I hope they die in their piss instead of ruining our world any more.
Like go fishing, or whittle some shit on a porch. Youre gonna die soon and you want to spend your final days on the hill with the lizards and cockroaches?
Good people do to too. Ruth Bader Ginsberg clung to office and died two months too early.

I keep saying that the fact that Trump has made it to 77 is a testament to modern medical science.
Nah, his longevity is from decent genes and the fact that he's never had to worry or stress about anything real his entire life. Poverty is the number one killer of Americans. The lack of access to healthcare, having to overwork your body and mind to make ends meet and the constant stress of wondering if your next paycheck will be enough to feed and house you and your loved ones is killer on the heart. Shitty people don't live long lives because they're shitty. It's because they're rich. IT just so happens, all rich people are also shitty people. But I've met some poor shitty people that die early because their heart just gives out from overwork.
It's like Eugenia Cooney. How is she still alive? How do you treat your body with absolute disdain and survive?
Mick Jagger just turned 80.
I eat pretty well, exercise daily and I doubt I'm making it that long....
As it turns out, a boatload of money is the best thing for your health.
Even if we are going to continue to let the elderly rule us, an event like this should result in an instant resignation. But no, he has to claw onto the reins of power until they're taken from his cold, dead hands.
