  1. We need terms for these guys.

  2. He is not alive. He is an alien.

  3. He went full turtle lol

  4. This is not a mini stroke (no mouth drooping, word slurring) nor a TIA. Rather, the blank stare without eye movement is a symptom of PNES (Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizure). He cannot control his staring, nor can he speak or move during the stare. However, during the stare, he can hear everything around him and has conscious awareness that he is “frozen” but cannot respond until the staring spell ends. He is not experiencing any pain. It is moments later that he begins to regain control but it leaves him with the feeling of being in a daze (intense brain fog) and unsteadiness (watch him hold onto the podium as he turns away). The blank stare occurred the moment that the lady in green touched him. She came from behind him and out of his view before reaching him and quickly touching him. Her touch triggered his staring spell because he was not expecting her to do this. Her touch caused a sudden startle response in him to mentally shut down momentarily. And that is exactly what happened… his subconscious takes over and mentality shuts him down instantly as a protection, due to him being on overload. He literally becomes incapacitated because he can not control his response to the trigger. (There can be many different triggers that bring on the staring spell. Anything that happens suddenly and without any warning, including a sudden touch and loud noises, can be triggers.) This symptom (along with other symptoms) can occur multiple times each day. Obviously, the man on his left, who spoke in his ear, had seen McConnell do this before. He did not seem surprised nor alarmed. In fact, none of them appeared surprised to see this occurring.

    All of this can be a result of very intense, very extreme, prolonged, chronic stress that becomes manifested into physical symptoms as seen in this video. After the spell passes (sometimes can last several minutes) and the brain fog, unsteadiness, and weakness ends, he can resume his normal speech. Hence, the reason that he was able to walk back to his office (without a wheelchair) and return back to the podium shortly afterwards (see other videos). Hence, this is more evidence that this was not a stroke or TIA.

    If anyone has received a diagnosis of this condition or has experienced the exact same symptom, please reply so we can talk further.

  5. These folks need to retire and play golf already

  6. Why a God let that man live this long is a wrong enough

  7. He needed to go years ago alongside the rest of the RINOs.🤡🤡

  8. Looks like a sroke. Mitch needs to be traveling with a nurse or doctor that can recognize medical issues and get this man immediate help.

  9. After he was tapped twice on the arm by Shelly Capito. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

  10. HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT

  11. TALK ABOUT NEEDING TERM LIMITS ..?? DUDE'S READY FOR A HEART ATTACK ??? OMG..SO MUCH FOR THE LEADER OF THE REPUBLICANS ???

  12. I think he passed a small blood clot and his brain froze up.

  13. Best example for the need for term limits I have ever seen.

  14. he just had a stroke or something

  15. Our country has become a laughing stock

  16. That's what happens after decades of Bourbon and hatred.

  17. No disrespect ta any party but politics needs a new look in America! Younger and Diverse! By diverse I mean put some hood mfs in them seats 😎✌🏾

  18. Got him propped up like a “Weekend at Bernie’s”

  19. Mitch McConnell.exe has stopped working

  20. He needs to go the way of old yella

  21. Congress looks like a geriatric convention. Ole Moscow Mitch stroked out. Yet nobody seems to notice

  22. Looks like he's strokin out

  23. Time for Mitch to join Obiden at the old folks home

  24. Cus he’s 150 years old & just peed his pants, he should be in a nursing home & not wheeled around by these people

  25. He had the same look as a baby filling his diaper

  26. Gonna pay for all that money he stole from taxpayers

  27. Old goat craps his diaper at least 5x day

  28. He looks like a corpse and we all know it. I keep thinking"Weekend at Bernie's/ Senate edition".

  29. GET HIM OUT OF CONGRESS!!! HE’S HALF DEAD AND STILL MAKING DECISIONS FOR THE COUNTRY

  30. And nobody helps him out. Typical Republicans!

  31. Why didn't they immediately take him to the doctor the hospital?

  32. Second hand contact from Biden

  33. He looks dead man rip that dude

  34. Was that Mitch's clone ?

  35. What was left of Mitch's soul, just split.

  36. How about them term limits

  37. The perfect example of a dead man walking.

  38. I can’t tell if it’s old age or that’s a robot. I never seen any old person act like that. It’s not normal. And it’s not old age. It’s something else people.
