It makes me mad at myself, but his fear and confusion in that moment was cathartic. You have to hurt a lot of people eyes wide open to actually deserve the suffering of witnessing your own mind and sense of self crumbling from the inside, but Reagan was and McConnell is on that list.

We at least got to witness him experience a tiny sliver of the shame, pain, and terror of the Americans he inflicted his cruelty on for decades with a shit eating grin so he could cut his own taxes and that of his country club friends on the backs of hard working, struggling human beings.

No sympathy for the devil. I'll remember you this way, Mitch. Now go fade away, you spooky, sociopathic fuck.

Mitch lost his wifi connection and needed to be rebooted

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, he's a very old model.

His 28.8k modem finally burned out. You can almost hear the "Pshhhkkkkkkrrrr​kakingkakingkakingtsh​chchchchchchchcch" in the background when he goes silent.

[–] TheSporkBomber@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They took him away to reboot the disney animatronics he's been running on since the early 90's.

Everyone speculating it was a stroke, but he might have just realized he shit his pants. He is old, either explanation seems likely.

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

He was told he had a duty to the nation, but he misheard.

[–] Anomalous_Llama@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Goodness I hope it’s nothing minor!

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He almost looked human for a minute.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't see it, do I need to cross my eyes or something like one of those optical illusion images?

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a sailboat!

[–] ExhaustedFromKids@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What is the context behind this? Did I miss something bad that happened to this asshole?

He fell in public a few weeks ago too, but this just happened. Circling the drain finally.

He apparently blanked out while speaking - folks are speculating it was a stroke.

[–] brambledog@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You definitely see the moment something happens, but this seems too subtle for a stroke.

[–] torknorggren@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Strokes are weird. "Brain attack" is an apt term--some folks barely notice them, some folks drop dead in moments.

Here's hoping it's a severe one.

[–] BB69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He had a mini stroke or something on the podium today

Yeah he apparently started making a statement to the press and only got about 5 words in before freezing and going blank, a classic show of senility.

[–] Kalistia@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Well maybe it's time for 81 years old ppl too take politics seriously and leave it to the younger generation...

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Take a moment to realize these are the people who run your country. They should have been sent to a retirement home years ago.

Why does his face remind me of a Blob fish ?

Hope this old POS never has another coherent thought again.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I hope his rabbit is doing fine.
