  1. It's amazing the power given to Mitch McConnell given how badly his state rates!!!
    One of the poorest and worst rated states in the country!!

  2. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  3. Joe Biden's Stand In, with the detached ear lobes, just popped up commenting on Mitch McConnell's Dementia.

  4. Lol mitch McConnel standing there looking like he pooped his pants. This man needs to be in a nursing home

  5. 🤔😡🤬 we should not politicize help for a country over help for a state. They are both important. Like Jesus said, you will always have the poor with you. Our government did nothing for the poor before Ukraine, just like they will do nothing for the poor after Ukraine, they are not linked.

  6. GUAD, supposedly highly educated MSNBC reporter: *took it seriousLY

  7. I think McConnell is having problems with deteriorating mental abilities due to age ai these people wanna die on the job

  8. Hurricane Betsy… People all over the south used to talk about that one and Camille for decades. WDSU meteorologist Nash Roberts used to do his forecasts on a white board with a marker and used to talk about how people were up in the trees for days until water levels came back down.

  9. Hey kids. When I was a kid we would call it a big hurricane . That's it. No blame.

  10. Condolences to the family's of those lost and the Property of those who have lost so much . I feel so bad for Humanity that all the Items of Wood , Paper , Canvas and Electronics will never Have the Value nor will the Owners be Compensated the People will never Have those objects or the Value of that Pokémon , Guitars , Paintings , Sports cards , Stamp Collection , Such Loss is a Depriving Man of the Education of the Objects , Tax Papers , Deeds , Titles .Family Photos , notes , Letters , My Prayers for those who have Lost these good Human attributes , The Ducks in a Row of Life 🙁 QC

  11. Why do you let the Government treat themselves as if they are better than the public they serve? Just make the follow the retirement rules, make them take the same health care as the public, only give them retirement funding for the years they worked, etc…..term limits would help the country as a whole. McConnell, Pelosi, Feinstein, Shumer, Grassley, etc….all should be gone.

  12. Bless his heart, he needs to retire!

  13. You all talk about all those old politicians, but leave out Bernie Sanders? Why? Not doddering enough?

  14. Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it. Thank you Journalists for your research, reportage and dedication, I appreciate it.

    Be safe, healthy and happy.
    God bless you 🙏 Be well.

  15. No it looks like a psrkingdon dide effect
    My fri d used to get them.
    Whdn dhe was young she eould freeze and you judt had to touch her check then she eould b back to normal…they didnt know what it was since the checked everything
    But now it is a side effectvof Psrkinsons…..

  16. McConnell has experienced this before along with a fall, politicians should have term limits and not to joke McConnell said he was the grim reaper himself so maybe he sees the reaper in real time.

  17. Thank you all for reporting

  18. Implantation of the RFID Chip in your hand and you'll get paid $2.000 dollars a month! This is a carrot by the world banks, To hook into getting this tracking device inplanted in your hand! This is the mark of the beast! Don't fall for it!! You'll regret it later!

  19. There's an elementary school in Brantley County GA that has the roof blown off by Idalia's wind damage

  20. We all know that climate change is also because of nuclear waste introduce into the Pacific Ocean.

  21. I am just a mean person. I just don’t care if Mitch stayed in that frozen position. A man that tries to stop healthcare for millions? No people have died because of this man.

  22. Talking about age and politics is not difficult. If you’re old, you should be allowed to be a politician there is something to be said for age and experience. The only reason someone should not be allowed to be a politician is if they have a criminal record that prohibits them from being a politician, or for some reason they are unable to perform their duty in the role that they were elected or appointed. I am a Democrat and I can admit it was very weird watching Mitch McConnell freeze up, but he does not seem to have trouble performing his role as a member of the US Senate. He literally gave a speech that was 20 or 30 minutes long just before that event, I don’t know what happened I don’t know why it happened but he throws up for 30 seconds. I don’t care if he freezes up for 30 seconds every day if he can do his job which he seems to be able to do we shouldn’t be complaining he’s an 81-year-old man experiencing problems that an 81 year old man would likely experience it isn’t stopping him from doing his job of being a US senator. He still brings in money to his state. He still pushes the agenda for his political party and he’s pretty good at it. I’m a Democrat and I can admit to that. I can look at another aging politician Dianne Feinstein and I can honestly admit and say it’s 50/50 for her. Not because she gave that long speech when she just had to vote it was when she was in the hospital for so long I worried could she do her job as a US senator. It’s one thing to be in the hospital for a day a week a month, but she was in the hospital long term. At what point should you say my health and me taking care of my health is affecting my ability to do the work for the people. I also do have to worry about how she might function mentally because I saw her behave irrationally when all she had to do was say yes or no. I worry about that. I don’t care if she’s not as mobile as she used to be I don’t care if she has to be pushed around in a wheelchair so what. If a quadriplegic ones for office and gets elected, guess what they will need a wheelchair. no Donald Trump and Joe Biden interest in cases to men elderly either one of them should be allowed to run for President of the United States. I don’t see their age playing a role in how they function mentally. I may think Donald Trump needs to be in jail for crimes he committed, but he can function politically, just like the people who want to elect him want him to. He can do the job they would like him to do and his age isn’t a factor. The same is true for Joe Biden. Yes, the man is old. Yes he’s boring. Yes he is not fun. He’s like white paint Boreen, but the man can function as a politician. He should be allowed to do his job as President of the United States, and if he wants to run again, and he can win reelection good for him.

  23. Leave it to Pletka and Todd to play both sides. Schumer, Biden, Pelosi no where near show the signs of aging that McConnell does. In fact all three are cognitively functioning quite well.

  24. If Biden wins, America will have its first female President. Biden wont have the mental or physical ability to run our country effectively.

  25. Thank all that's holy we are not under attack. Fragging becomes this 😢

  26. I pray for Florida and God bless Chuck Todd. I'm sure Tim is very proud of you.

  27. Our President said he struggled with stuttering all his life. How does this compare the bile spew 😮 daily?

  28. Meet the Press NOW – August 30

  29. When my mom did this.. she had a brain tumor. I remember we were in the car and I was driving from NYC. She just stopped talking and stared. Then she came back and I tried to drive directly to the hospital but she said no to take her home. She later told me she could hear me but just couldn't respond. I don't know whats happening with Mitch but for sure, they know and they are not talking…

  30. Praying for you all, as an over the road trucker of many many years, I deliver all over those areas, I try to stay cautious and vigilant when out of the rig 😮

  31. Todd says his job is to observe and report but he is constantly injecting his own personal bias into a story….
