too old to be a senator in charge of the republic.....WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday froze again during a news conference in Kentucky, after previously losing his ability to speak earlier this year during an event in Washington, DC. In July, McConnell similarly fell silent partway through a conference in Washington, DC, alongside other Republican lawmakers. McConnell briefly departed that presser before later returning, claiming he felt fine.

The former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations has called for “mental competency tests” for elderly politicians and term limits in Congress, in response to a question about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recently freezing up in public again.
“What I will say is, right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country,” Nikki Haley said on Fox News on Friday. “We need to start getting new faces, new voices, younger generations involved in our government. And we need to have everybody else understand when it's time to go.”
Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, froze up during a press conference on Wednesday and had to be led away by aides. His spokesperson claimed in a statement that McConnell “felt momentarily lightheaded and paused during his press conference.” On Thursday, McConnell's doctor said he was “medically clear” to continue his work.
It was the second such episode in just over a month for the top Republican in the US Senate. He had frozen mid-sentence during a press conference on Capitol Hill in late July, prompting speculation of a partial seizure or a stroke. The 81-year-old Kentuckian has also suffered three falls just this year, the most serious of which resulted in a concussion and a broken rib, putting him in recovery for six weeks.

old farts refuge....

Mitch McConnell froze up in public again, the second such incident in the last few weeks.
The U.S. Senate minority leader just stood there silently — a gentle, childlike smile flickering across his face, probably for the first time since the Truman administration.
In that moment, while McConnell’s dying brain struggled and failed to make sense of its present reality, all the dourness was gone from his face. All the downward gravitational pull from a lifetime in the D.C. swamp. All the seriousness. All the scheming. All the warmongering, tyranny and abusiveness.
In that moment of amnesiac innocence, you’d never be able to tell from looking at Mitch McConnell how many people he’s helped kill. How much suffering he’s helped cause. How much health and thriving he’s frozen out of humanity in his joyless facilitation of corporate dystopia.
All you’d see is a man. A cute, harmless, befuddled old man. All the dark, dense, contracted energy gone from his form in a sweet tender moment of intimate indivisibility.
Capitol Hill is where warmongers and principles go to die. It’s an assisted living facility for psychopaths — a nursing home where people who get gratification from dropping military explosives on foreigners go to wait for their decomposition. The whole place smells like night terrors and urine.
Capitol Hill is a gerontocratic command center where miserable octogenarians in wheelchairs and adult diapers keep pulling the levers of ecocide and nuclear brinkmanship like retirees at a Vegas slot machine as a final insult to younger generations who are still capable of enjoying life on this planet.
It’s where they warehouse souls too atrophied and mummified to take a stand against the empire in order to give Americans the illusion of living in a democracy.
U.S. President Joe Biden called McConnell his good friend, and of course they are good friends; they are the same kind of monster. The same variety of spent, half-dead Beltway flotsam made of corporate logos and plastic donor class dinner parties held together by nothing but Aricept and wood glue who’ve been pushing war, militarism, austerity and authoritarianism since the instant they were able to claw their way into elected office.

With the House effectively shut down, the Senate has the upper hand on Washington’s two biggest issues this fall — aiding Ukraine and Israel and keeping the government open.
Even if the House GOP selects a speaker or a caretaker leader to claw out of the current chaos, its Republicans will already be in a weakened state as the White House prepares a massive, potentially $100 billion request for national security aid. Instead, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Senate GOP looks to have the Republican sway over both that foreign money debate and the fight to avoid a shutdown.

As his last act before getting ousted, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made the Senate swallow a spending bill without Ukraine aid that his conservative members opposed. But with a Nov. 17 shutdown deadline ....xzcdnfrurebdlkhnfkvwe hrlew jflejmflev lnnn.

That’s in large part because McConnell, after enduring public scrutiny of his health all summer, is embracing a generous aid package for Ukraine and Israel and is in harmony with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on the framework of that legislation... sdbkhfkewwwQHUmn gg
