  1. the cope these cultist uniparty demons is insane. its disgusting and totally opposite of the american peoples wants and needs

  2. the only thing he had a strong grip on was that podium so he ddint keel over

  3. Remember Reagan late in his second term?

  4. McConnell needs a new battery? Seriously, McConnell and Feinstein BOTH need to resign, effective at the exact same moment — to keep the reduction in representation of each party in the Senate "even"?

  5. I feel sorry for Mitch McConnell as he is having some medical problems. I will continue to pray for him & that he gets better.we are all , the lord's children & we must be praying for all in need of prayer.

  6. HEY ! Let's not allow a republican strategist to directly compare McConnels obviously impending death with Joe Bidens speech impediment.

    Joe has had that stutter all his life. Conquered it, for the most part. It's not a real problem that isn't happeneing now. McConnels 'strokes on camera' is both REAL, and NOW. It's not a "politcal" problem. It's medical. SAYING it's a politcal issue is elder abuse. Mitch is dying. Help him. Stop fighting us long enough to help him.

  7. Regardless of where you fall on the political fence, I’m sure we all can agree this man needs to retire.

  8. It will only take a lifelong senator dying of old age on camera for term limits to be implemented.

  9. Listen to Ms. Fagen. A bunch of vague baloney in which she claims Biden is suffering similar moments like McConnell has without giving a single example. How typical of a typical Republican these days. Yes, I heard Pres. Biden make a few mistakes during his speech about American labor read off a teleprompter through dark glasses in the glaring sunshine of the the White House lawn a few days ago. Want to make a point that Biden sticks to a teleprompter these days because he's running for reelection and when he goes off on his own riffs, his staff end up having to walk back some of his statements? Fine. But don't say he's mentally incompetent while McConnell is still sharp as a tack while he's staring into a camera like a deer into headlights.

  10. No More Spending! Close The Border!

  11. Recall he mocked an impeachment from the the House as "sloppy work product."

  12. A bunch of ‘em are too old. How is this even happening? It’s embarrassing.

  13. It is unconscionable that we we forced to watch this elder die on national t.v.. Disgusting.

  14. May God bless him. I'm a Democrat, but we all should be compassionate. He served his country and his party. May God continue to bless his health. ❤

  15. Donald Trump the GLOAT greatest liar of all time…meretricious to putin while in office and still praises him…( reagan must be turning ove rin his grave)

  16. The rot Republicans of trump are backwards bigoted organisms

  17. Ol' Mitch should head out to pasture. But his ego and the GOP propping him up while whining about Feinstein, he will be there until his last breath. She should go, as well.

  18. 😳💯🚫🐂💩😀😂🤣

  19. Trump 77 and Biden is 80 so……not much difference at all….vast difference in sanity though.

  20. Clearly not loyal to the public he serves , think about it how many days does he actually have , grow old with dignity and your grandchildren. As for our president minimizing this situation is the way he operates, joke , get real time to retire. He's not sharp hilarious. Minimizing, Minimizing, Minimizing keep that money train rolling 😂

  21. Our concerns may be valid and McConnell should go. But he should not go now. Why? Because whether we realize it or not, our country is in uncharted territory and we need every experienced hand onboard — and from both sides of the aisle. Nor is there much room for error — either domestically or internationally. McConnell, despite his occasional freezing, is still competent and useful. Indeed, our country’s future depends on him — and on all the other experienced hands like him. Please let him be.

  22. What if Biden froze? What would they say?
