Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is set to preside over the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, was taken to a Washington hospital on Tuesday afternoon after “not feeling well,” his spokesman said.

[dynachrome]

He did not look well in the last pic I saw of him.

No comment cause what I really want to say would get me banned

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Rut roh. 50/50 may become 49/50.

[SaveFerris]

Nancy Pelosi will be 81 in March of 2021, as well.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#3: "Die, monster, die."

[Jonny7797]

Just have the grim reaper fill in for him. Prolly turn out the same.

[Political Junkie Too]

If Leahy can't participate, the Republicans have a 50-49 majority on the jury.

That means they can vote for witnesses, evidence, whatever.

If Leahy can't resume office and is forced to leave, then Republicans take the majority and Schumer is pushed back to minority status.

If it happens, I hope the Republicans can use the opportunity to replace McConnell as their leader.

He ain’t looked well as long as I can remember.

[SmokingJoe]

This Schumer/Pelosi cluster f*** is fast developing into a Monty Python farce. Chuckle.
The next step is to carry Pelosi the old hag off in an ambulance too.

[SaveFerris]

It would be great if he gave his heart of Jesus and told the world all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the public deceptions. Of course, he would be labeled as “senile”.

Senator since 1975?

Term limits were needed 40+ years ago.

[texanyankee]

Her veins are filled with formaldehyde.

[tflabo]

Senator’s holy grail is to retire and leave in the stiff, horizontal position.

[thegagline]

Crisis of conscience?

Okay, that can be ruled out.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

God, please remove and replace him.

And while you're at it, could you make a welfare check on George Soros?

[SaveFerris]

I was thinking pretty much the same thing

[WashingtonSource]

God works in mysterious ways he wonders to perform.

[Ebenezer]

The Democrats have to depend on octogenarians (one of them now in the hospital) to do all this dirty work against Trump. It reminds me of all those geriatric Soviet leaders in the ‘80s who kept dying on Reagan.

[SpaceBar]

Maybe he sprang a leak.

Hoping the Republican governor isn’t an ass.
