Sen. Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze momentarily at an event in Covington, Ky. McConnell also froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent before being escorted away.
Although cognitive decline is associated with aging, it is not 100%. I've personally known 90 year olds with more mental ability than some 60 year olds. McConnel's decline was evident over a decade ago, as was Feinstein's. Neither should have been reelected. I see much more mental decline in Trump than in Biden. Try listening to tapes from them 20-30 years ago. Trump now speaks with the simplistic speech patterns of a child, whereas he used to discuss complex issues with competency. I think a Trump presidency 30 years ago would have been even more dangerous than the one we had. Biden still talks in complex sentences which make sense, and he appears to know what he's talking about.
Nonetheless we absolutely need to get younger people into higher office more and more, prepping them for the presidency.
I don't even think we should care about the decline. the important thing is fitness for the role. if he started out smarter than needed he should have been allowed to conitnue as long as his mental capacity is above a treshold.
For some reason the way she said "Please speak up" as if it's that reporters fault really got to me. Fuck off, that volume was perfectly fine. How about get a senator that can hear sounds below 100dB? How about get a senator whose mind isn't withering away to dust? How about he literally has to forfeit his position due to being too senile to adequately perform in the interest of American citizens?
