The Republican bigshot, 81, banged his brain in a terrible March 9 tumble at Washington D.C.’s Waldorf Astoria hotel — nearly four years after another serious fall forced him to have shoulder surgery!

Retire or Expire? Isn’t that the real question to ask?

Right, it doesn’t spark fear with most Republicans, it sparks joy that this traitor might retire soon. His recent history is replete with traitorous actions against Trump, Republicans and the country..

Kicked out of the Army for “optic neuritis”. The article is impossible to find now but I remember his officer commenting later “yeah it was an eye problem, he couldn’t tell men from women”. And his connection to the Kentucky Senator kept his record clean. I’d bet a paycheck he’s another closet Hastert.

In March 1967, shortly before the expiration of his educational draft deferment upon graduation from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a private at Louisville, Kentucky. This was a coveted position because the Reserve units were mostly kept out of combat during the Vietnam War. 11–12 His first day of training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was July 9, 1967, two days after taking the bar exam, and his last day was August 15, 1967. Shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and deemed medically unfit

Guy can barely walk, couldn’t find more than 10 people to say he shouldn’t be the leader.

Would he appoint Matt Bevin, his previous challenger in 2019? That was a close race, as I recall.

It's called the swamp for a reason.

“No laws establishing one (or two) political parties have any place in a representative republic”

Not only that, the Founding Fathers deeply opposed parties which they termed “passions”.

When Trump was sworn in, McConnell kept the Senate IN SESSION the entire Trump presidency to prevent Trump from making recess appointments. He let Obama do it, but roadblocked Trump.

For this among many reasons, many Republicans and Conservatives will not be sorry when McConnell leaves the Senate.

"...his brain injury...can cause 'loss of consciousness, convulsions, seizures, loss of coordination, slurred speech, agitation, and confusion.'”

Just what we need -- two Fettergoons in the Senate.

Sorry, I was talking about Senate leadership. Well, both. Kentucky gets a new senator, but the Senate “Republicans” need a new leader. For the moment, getting the latter is far more important than who is the new second senator from Kentucky.

Looks to me that Fetterman is 5150.

Check post 31. He let Obama have recess appointments. Refused them for Trump.
