I would have preferred he die in a car fire, but I will accept the slow debilitating complications of a broken hip.

This a-hole came out against the Jan 6 videos release. I hope his commie ass dies so he can get on with the business of burning in hell.

Apparently it was the brother, or so I heard. He would have been the only one who could knock Harry off his feet without being shot up full of holes by the secret service.

Him and Harry are now serving eternity wherever they are.

Sometimes, a big bruise or a broken bone will set off a chain reaction in the immune system. When cells are broken, they spill out mitochondrial DNA. The immune system sees this DNA and launches an antibody attack — not knowing that it is the host’s own DNA. Unless specific steroids and other inhibitors are given quickly, the process spirals out of control and becomes “non-infectious sepsis,” which can lead to massive organ failure and death. (ICD 10 code R65.11 Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) )

All of this is amplified in older people. That is why even minor falls can be dangerous.

I don’t believe much about this story. You can’t believe ANYTHING in the media these days.

I’m thinking he wants to hide for awhile, hence the fake story.

Mitch falling is only partially due to old age. He had polio when he was a child and has had a weak leg since. Obviously, probably has become weaker due to age. However, his problem is far different than senile Joe’s falling problem.
Just saying…

“a broken bone will set off a chain reaction in the immune system.”

That’s what happened to my dad.....he was fighting sepsis at the time he fell. Broke his shoulder in the afternoon..........he passed away later that evening.

The media, since the end of WW2, is just an arm of the deep state CIA MIC / rogue shadow government.

What was Mitch doing in his hotel room that made him lose his balance…? 🤔

Mcconnell is 80

I sincerely hope McConnell makes it to 100, with just enough brain function to suffer in pain and misery. It will be good practice for eternity.
