If only the Founders had had a crystal ball to show them what was going to happen with human longevity, maybe they would have put age limits in the Constitution. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Leave him in, but R leadership need to sit him down and explain why he's going to loose his seat on any committee if he doesn't get in line, no more "I'm McCain" moments. Lil'Andy thinks he's the next POTUS candidate for the dems, at minimum he wants McConnell's seat, he's not done in politics. SOB just flew to DAVOS, what the hell would Kentucky have to do with DAVOS, nothing really, he's prepping for a 28 run, rubbing elbows. | |||

Re: Does Mitch McConnell need to step down? I expect that you think so. I expect that McConnell thinks differently. Serious about crackers | |||

^^^ That about sums it up. Only two things can force him out: 1. Losing. 2. Death. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

That was grandstanding as grandstanding can be. Walking up there to put his thumb down. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Senator Mitch McConnell, 82, falls down Senate stairs in latest health scare https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...st-health-scare.html enator Mitch McConnell, 82, fell down multiple times on Capitol Hill Wednesday. The Kentucky Republican's first stumble occurred just after the longtime lawmaker exited the Senate floor after voting for Donald Trump's Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner. After taking a tumble down some marble stairs he was reportedly helped up by Sens. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla). Then after regaining his footing and heading into a senators-only lunch McConnell reportedly fell again. The 82-year-old was carrying a plate of food before he fell and landed on his side, Punchbowl News reported. The Kentuckian may have new bruising on his face due to the tumble. 'Senator McConnell is fine,' a spokesperson for the senator told DailyMail.com. 'The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work.' And his fall Wednesday raises fresh questions about his ability to do his job and the advanced age of so many of the nation's political leaders. 'It’s time to retire,' conservative commentator Benny Johnson said of McConnell after the fall Wednesday. The Republican has been involved in multiple falls while working which have led to various injuries. His latest incident was in December when he fell over during a Senate lunch. Medical staff with a wheelchair were called in to assist after the senator fell during the lunch and sprained his wrist. He also had a cut on his face according to a witness who saw McConnell after the incident. A medical official indicated at the time that McConnell was okay despite the tumble. Later, McConnell was seen walking around work, business as usual despite the dust up. More at link _________________________ | |||

A real job, you want to retire well before that age. I can't imagine the on the job lifestyle these people must live if they refuse to retire by 80. | |||

We need him upright for Kash/Kennedy confirmation votes. Providing he votes for them. If he opposes them, someone needs to push him down the next flight of stairs. | |||

You may not have been paying attention: Mitch doesn’t want to remove the Deep State. He profits from it; he IS it. Investigating and removing and prosecuting “the Swamp” means “Mitch”. Mitch voted against Hegseth. | |||
|
| Thank you Very little |
Power, control, and money..... IF McConnell continues to show health issues, then he should go out on a high note and get Andy to appoint Daniel Cameron to replace him.. | |||

Step down or fall down, he needs to be put out to pasture (w/ other R&D octogenarian lawmakers). | |||
