Can you imagine if this happened to Biden? The calls to resign? Nope, instead it’s Cocaine Mitch, just having an ordinary TIA as one does in front of scores of people. Nothing to see here, folks.
“Sen. Dianne Feinstein told to ‘just say aye’ in awkward Senate committee moment”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., appeared confused during a vote on a defense appropriations bill Thursday, which prompted a fellow Democratic senator to step in.
During a Senate Appropriations Committee markup of bills Thursday morning, Feinstein seemed to stumble on a vote. Instead of saying the expected response of “aye” or “nay,” Feinstein began delivering a speech expressing her support of the measure: “I would like to support a ‘yes’ vote on this. It provides $823 billion…”
About 15 seconds into Feinstein’s speech, an aide whispered in her ear. Committee chair Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., then told Feinstein: “Just say aye.”
“Aye,” Feinstein said.
Feinstein was later heard voting against another measure, before being corrected and switching to “yes.”
Feinstein’s office did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment.
‘He’s fine, folks, was just a little light-headed, nothing to see here.’
And we’re all-in on circling the wagons around an 80-year-old survivor of brain surgery. Nothing to see here, folks.
Yeah. “Their old fuckers need to go, but our old fuckers are ok” isn’t great.
The question is whether a crippled McConnell will command the same obedience from his caucus.
Hand me that megaphone! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! All good things must end, the same for evil ever so much more so.

Somebody pointed out that an NFL quarterback would get a more thorough examination under the concussion protocol.
Who could tell anyhow? He’s looked like a catatonic dying fish for at least 25 years.
word.
Word is evil uncle Mitch also did a “Face Plant” fall earlier. Gee? Where was the corporate media for that one?
Here we go again.

I’ll give Tom Carper credit here – he’s getting out before he gets this bad.
I always think of George Carlins routine – my stuff is stuff but their stuff is shit. Same as modern day politics
