Being a senator must be the best job in the world because I don’t care how old someone is, they never want to quit. Maybe somebody should look into the reasons a little closer.
Sure would be a shame for his insurance to deny Coverage for his pre existing condition…
Cracked his shell
Term limits asap
The crazy part is Americans vote these politicians into office. Mitch was 78 when he won his 7th consecutive senate race in 2020, defeating former U.S. Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath, 57% to 38%. Did voters believe an 84 year old Mitch is better than a 51 year old McGrath? Imagine a state with the 5th highest poverty rate and repeatedly among the 10 least educated states… voting for the same senators over and over and over again 🤦♂️
Is the floor okay??? Can someone check on the floor?!

“Injured his face…”
Which one?
Probably shit his diaper too
Good. Now put him in a home, or at least a terrarium.
No one over 70 should be in congress. It makes no sense that these people are staying so long which is why we don’t see change. It should be like a real job if you miss three votes you are fired or pay is docked. The Reps and Senators have life time insurance and retirement that isn’t even the same as other federal employees
Hope the floor is alright
Scrape that turd off the floor and
Get these ghouls out. Can walk a flight of steps but they’re in charge of the country? No one over 60 has any business in politics.
Thoughts and prayers. No, just thoughts.
Get him the fuck out of there. He’s had two strokes on camera and now can’t even stand
“So, you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old – very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him – he fell off the stage…
So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died.
And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away.
I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible.
You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed colour. Became very red.
And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away…
What happens is, these 10 Marines from the back of the room.
They come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the place—it’s all over their uniforms—they’re taking it, they’re swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher.
They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side…
I was saying, ‘Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!’ The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.
It’s just not my thing.”

In Canada, we have our fair share of older politician. But why does it feel like most American politicians are over the age of 65?
