He ended up on his back and couldn’t roll back over by himself...🐢

[maddog55]

He’s probably sharing a room with Fetterman.

[Baldwin77]

That’s a shame.

[logi_cal869]

*Sigh*

[Baldwin77]

and Fetterman.

I just read that he fell at the (former) Trump Hotel.

I knew they’d find a way to blame Trump.

The Dem KY governor is required by state law to appoint from the party of the deceased.

And nobody in the GOP is going to vote for Biden's pork... Oh, wait....

Instant Karma is gonna get you.

The Dem KY governor is required by state law to appoint from the party of the deceased.

Cankles is packing her carpet bags as we speak and heading to KY to register as a Republican.

[Allegra]

Yes - Ron Paul represented the 14th District of Texas, I believe. Just southeast of Houston, along the Gulf Coast.

Kentucky conservatives should vote for the Democrat in 2026. That’s how toxic McConnell is.

[lasereye]

Actually McConnell is about 10 years too old to be a boomer.

[Vermont Lt]

I think boomers started in ‘44-45. So, he is a Silent…but only by months.

[rdl6989]

He has a concussion. He will stay in the hospital for observation.

no matter how much power you had or wealth you accumulated

you lay on that slab with a destroyed public image, if you
couldn’t serve with honor

Mitch, you didn’t understand the mission, or you did your
best to defeat it.

Paging Harry Reid’s exercise machine.

Hé associated himself with the floor.

Yes. He engaged a gravity escort to landscape mode.

Boomers started arriving approximately 9 months after soldiers came home at the the end of WW2, so the Baby Boom started in 1946 and ran through 1964.

Probably many troops were mustered out of Europe after V-E Day in May 1945, and many in other areas had to stay around awhile to tie things up.

Great place for one of my much loved song lyrics:
(especially like “someone’s gonna make you crawl” and “when it’s your turn to burn”)

Trip, Stumble and Fall
by
The Mamas and the Papas

You’re gonna trip, stumble, and fall
And though I know you’re having a ball
You better listen my friend, this is the end

(Oh, listen my friend, yeah)
Someone’s gonna make you crawl
(This could be the end)
(Someone’s gonna make you crawl)
You’re gonna stumble and fall

You’ve no respect, you see it, you grab it
(No respect, you see it, you grab it)
You’ve got yourself a very bad habit
(You’ve got yourself a habit, yeah)

You know you’re on soft ground
(Oh, you’re on soft ground, yeah, yeah)
You’d better look around
One wrong step and that’s all
(You better look around)
(One wrong step and that’s all)
You’re gonna stumble and fall

When you’re gonna trip, stumble, and fall
(Trip, trip, stumble, and fall)

And when you land, it’s no fun at all
(And when you land, it’s no fun at all)

You better listen my friend, yeah, this is the end
(Oh, listen my, won’t you listen, my friend?)
Someone’s gonna make you crawl

(This could be the end)
(Someone’s gonna make you crawl)
You’re gonna stumble and fall

You’ve never been burned
But everybody’s somebody’s fool, yeah

(And when it’s your turn to burn)
(You’ll know that it’s cruel)
You’re gonna be a fool

He’s not quite as old as I thought he was. He was born in 42. Boomers began in 46. I thought he was 86.
