  1. Where in the chain of command does Mitch McConnell fit int?
    I know that if the POTUS and the vice president were to be killed then the Speaker of the House would assume command.
    If the Speaker were to also be killed does it then go to the Senate majority leader?
    Can you imagine if Mitch……

  2. Poor poor old senile Joe Biden forgot his name forgot the name of Barack Obama he forgot that he was president who gets lost in White House will gets lost outside the White House who shakes hands with
    Invisible people he talks to invisible people it changes his
    Diaper 0:14

  3. Perhaps his deal with Scratch is expiring ?

  4. According to the Asian grape vine, he’s impotent.

  5. I've known people with severe dementia like this. It's not funny, it's sad. He needs to step down immediately.

  6. This guy needs to be home under 24 hour care instead of running the country. So sad to see this

  7. He is too too too old for the job.

  8. 😂😂this is ridiculous. He make decisions on American lives!?

  9. Him not hearing the question is not the problem ma’am.

  10. Hello! Time for his co workers n family/wife to take him HOME!!!

  11. What he's dealing with could be the result of falling a couple of months ago, hitting his head and his brain being swollen, Epilepsy.
    It's basically a glitch in the Operating System of a Human brain.
    A Stroke is caused by blood vessels in a persons brain being blocked and causes permanent damage.
    I personally am dealing with both. A Grand-Mal Seizure? the brain freezes to the point they fall down, a "mini-siezure' or "auras", they pause.
    The only way they discovered that at some point I had a mini-stroke, a TIA, was with an MRI, it probably happened while I was asleep.
    Strokes cause permanent damage, Seizures don't show. An EEG on a persos head and a seizure actually happening, is the only way for them to know WHERE in the person's brain it's actually happening.

  12. As a senior Registered nurse I see two things. 1) This elderly man is having what is called 'trans ischemic attacks'. (TIA's, lack of oxygen to the brain due to age and hardened arteries) He should be relieved of his duties. A stroke is immanent. 2) AND my disgust that his self interested political party hangs on to him for it's own numbers. Do none of you care?

  13. Heading down the same sad path as dementia quid pro Joe Biden, but Mitch will be all right as long as the main stream media covers for him.

  14. we have a serious issue with sitting senators and supreme court justices who are not fit to stay in office from a health capacity. Really need term limits on top of health screenings. When they are no longer mentally or physically capable of doing the job they should be removed from office. It isn't ageism to remove someone from office who is no longer mentally or physically capable of doing the job.

  15. Melting face Mitch…..time to pay….ALL THAT BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS…..bye bye!!!

  16. Hopefully not tied into any possible long COVID issue. Endless discussions about clotting in and around COVID.

  17. Where’s Mitch’s wife? She should be encouraging him to retire/step down. A loving spouse wouldn’t let their husband/wife go through this in public. Come on Elaine 😡.

  18. KING💀JOE AND TURRTTLL MITCH OFF TO CCP CONVALAZNT HOME🇺🇸⚡️⚡️🗽

  19. This is a typical epileptic symptom. This symptom is a type of epilepsy.

  20. You sorry pos ppl need to focus on sleepy joe

  21. Time to hand over the keys, Sir…

  22. AGE LIMITS!!!! TERM LIMITS!!!!

  23. The media needs to talk about upper age limit. Everybody can se that he is way too old for this. It is ridiculous to hear how serious the reporters are 😂 lol

  24. This makes me truly sad.
