Apparently he fell down a second time later in the afternoon. He was seen leaving the building in a wheelchair.

Re: Political Randomness
According to Reuters he first fell down in the Senate chambers, then the fall on the stairs was after that.Holman wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 6:22 pm Apparently he fell down a second time later in the afternoon. He was seen leaving the building in a wheelchair.

Re: Political Randomness
McConnell went out of his way the other day to call J6 an insurrection again.
I wonder if his conscience is getting to him because he knows doesn't have long.

Re: Political Randomness
It started long before he was in charge (as soon as the Cold War was over, the GOP in Newt, et al charged down this path, IMHO, disregarding any moral qualms about the quest for a power monopoly and party over country, but yeah, he did a very, very good job of ensuring this outcome.
The final straw was, of course, not whipping for the January 6th Impeachment.

Re: Political Randomness
In my opinion (as wrong or right as it may be), I see the real turning point being McConnell's obstinate approach to government. His refusal to work with Obama and Dems on just about everything established a baseline that the far right latched onto. Then it became the norm under his tenure. And now we're here.

Re: Political Randomness
He thought he was laying the ground for permanent rule by an establishment GOP. He didn't expect that that party would be swallowed whole by MAGA fascism.hepcat wrote: Thu Feb 06, 2025 2:20 pm In my opinion (as wrong or right as it may be), I see the real turning point being McConnell's obstinate approach to government.
