Encourage your crabs to do some light stretching because I have a feeling they will be dancing soon
He's right, the first time it was sad and the second time it is funny.
Imagine how often this is happening when he isn't on camera, it's probably his 10th one today
I'm pretty sure the top brass of America are glued where they are after decades of shady shit. Between nonstop bribery and molesting children at their pedo island, everyone's got enough dirt on everyone else to coerce them to do whatever. Mitch is probably still in office because there's someone making bank off him
It’s truly bizarre. I have to believe that they are true believers in their version of liberalism, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise. Like, if they were just cynical grifters they would check out early, but there are so many examples currently that it must be a deeper sickness
One answer is alienation. Pre 1940 politicians would personally apprentice ideological successors. Later, party machines would ensure transfers of power to popular candidates with similar views that could continue the older member's political projects, while the older member retired and became an elder statesperson controlling party strategy and acting as an advisor.
But the Democrats and republicans have elided all political cohesion away, and candidates get in either through party stacking or via personal rhetoric.
So there are no political projects or institutional ideological continuity, there's only the institution, blowing whichever way the loudest faction of capital says.
Thus ossification and gerontocracy as senior party members need to stay on because their machine will collapse if they don't.
You see this in a lot of other organisations as well. We all know of the Trot org with 4 80 year olds at the top, a bunch of students who will bail after uni at the bottom, and no long term junior cadre.
It's not like he's working an assembly line, all his actual work is done by staffers, who also take care of all his personal and medical needs: driving him around, making all his meals, and literally wiping his ass. He's basically in free hospice care, probably a much better life than retiring would be.
My speculative theory is that it's selection bias. Plenty of senators cash out and spend the rest of their lives with a cushy job on a board of directors at some oil company, it's just the absolute sickos like McConnell who stay in it just for the power itself. We don't notice all the corrupt politicians who just take the money and run.
microsoft forced a security update while he was in the middle of a press conference and he needed rebooting
Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026.
Dude probably heard "2026", his memory hasn't been working since the 90s so he must have freaked out
"Holy shit I've time traveled"
How about a show of unity and bipartisanship where him and feinstein battle to the death and both die in the process
The starting bell is a massive churchbell and the arena is an acoustic silo, and they will vibrate apart
every day he looks more and more like Dana Carvey in that turtle movie
the turtle club is like one scene but it was in the trailer so everyone remembers it
i hope each time he comes back from the full brain reboot he is scared and completely loses his sense of self. a little taste of the painful death that i hope awaits him
I hope he runs for president. Would love to have President Stroke up there continuing to charade of democracy
Well whoever gets elected is probably around 94 years old, so you probably get your stroke anyway
Looks almost exactly like a seizure. Has it been confirmed it's a mini stroke?
From what I've read, the symptoms from both of these episodes are more consistent with a TIA. He hasn't confirmed anything, all we got from the last one was his handlers saying that "he's fine" (this is definitely a normal thing that happens to people who are fine btw).
He reported dizziness, displayed difficulty understanding what other people are saying (asking if the reporters could speak up), and he didn't just "snap out of it" and return to normal afterwards. These are not typical absence seizure symptoms.
— TIA stands for "transient ischemic attack", but they're more commonly known as "ministrokes". The difference between a TIA and a stroke is almost entirely in the duration; the blockage of a TIA lasts very briefly and causes no permanent damage, while the blockage of a stroke lasts much longer and is highly likely to result in permanent damage, if not death. The underlying cause of atherosclerosis is the same in both, however, meaning that about a third of all people who experience a single TIA will have a stroke within the year.Can you post what a legendary Half Light check passing would look like here?
[Legendary: Success] — THIS IS IT. Λήξη. Everything is finally coming back down on him. Whatever time is left is gone. A sick and frail worm wriggling from lismoniá returns to it.
— What? What's coming down on him?
— Oblivion.
id want him to suffer a long time, but Kentucky will definitely re-elect him 3 times if given the chance.
Last I checked his approval rating in Kentucky was like 20% or less, but he keeps getting reelected because the alternatives are scarier.
the KY Democrat candidates are always fucking terrible though. the Republican will say "i love guns!" and the KY Democrat candidate will make sure to agree.
KILL ALL THE UNDESIRABLES
I AM ACTUALLY TOUGH ON CRIME GUYS VOTE FOR ME PLEASE
Charles Booker would probably have given him a run, but the Dems snuffed him out in the primary in favor of professional loser Amy McGrath.
yea KY Democrats do that shit alllllllll the time. Source: im from that shit state
