IMO, this man has spent his entire political career playing a conservative but in the background is perfectly willing, actually prefers, the easy wealth that can be obtained by being SECOND in power. Second tier, Vichy government go-along, get-along. Vocal opposition just loud enough to prompt that first-tier power to dole out table scraps that no one notices.

I remember once when that role netted him (Kentucky) $4.5 Billion funding that helped him stay in office. IMO, he does it all the time.

I will file this under “when good things happen to bad people.”

When you’re Mitch’s age, the best way to recover from a fall is to make sure your Social Security and Medicare are in order and retire. Going right into assisted living after a long career, isn’t what any American dreams of.

This is MAGA country!!
Oh wait, they might actually try that...
Nevermind.

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

He’s probably sharing a room with Fetterman.

[Baldwin77]

That’s a shame.

*Sigh*

[Baldwin77]

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

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

Instant Karma is gonna get you.

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.

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
