Why won’t it stay down?!
fell to the floor while two volunteers from the environmental advocacy group Sunrise Movement approached the senator and asked him a question about Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. He did not respond to the question.

He’d rather risk a broken bone than to answer for his bullshit.
Blows my mind that people who believe in eternal judgement think these deplorable individuals believe in god or heaven.
How have we as a society accepted policymakers that will probably not live to see the consequences of their policies
Another China win:
The age limit for a minister-level appointment is retirement at age 65, and a person older than 58 will not be viewed as an eligible candidate. Department directors have an age limit of 60. A vice premier must be under 68 when appointed and must retire by 72.
Didn’t they just remove limits so that Xi can serve as leader for the rest of his life?
This doesn’t contradict the statement above. Also Mitch McConnell isn’t president, is he?
With the likely changes coming in biotech, this seems very short-sighted.
Laws are not immutable, they can change to adapt to technological advancements. Currently, we’re still at the mercy of declining mental faculties with age.
Let me know when he falls straight to hell. Otherwise they’ll just keep propping him up with whatever technology they can stick into his decrepit fucking body to keep it functioning. Same as they did with that piece of shit Feinstein.
We need term limits on senators and congressman. And we most definitely need an age limit.
Is anyone going to raise the question? Why do we have such elderly people in control of our country that them tripping is newsworthy? “40 year old tripped” wouldn’t even make a footnote. “83 year old tripped” makes the headline. Maybe our leadership shouldn’t be frail, brittle-boned octogenarians? Just a thought.
Is anyone going to raise the question?
No, you’re the first person to ask it. Especially here on Lemmy.
Straight up pioneering aageism. Sweet.
Old people have all the money, so they own politicians. They want people who are pliable and know the game, so you get these rigid shitpuppets who never go away
Why do we have such elderly people in control of our country that them tripping is newsworthy?
Because it is easier to defend a sitting candidate than advance a new one, and the corporate oligarchs that manage our democracy prefer reliability to efficiency.
Besides, what is the House/Senate not doing that the ruling class might want them to do? They all vote exactly how they’re told.
Maybe our leadership shouldn’t be frail, brittle-boned octogenarians?
So long as the paymasters are getting what they demand, who cares?
The purpose of Congress is to gatekeep the legislative process, not to look young and pretty.
this guy is still alive 😠?!
“despite the almost certain fact that he hides a fortune of indefinite magnitude somewhere about his musty and venerable abode. He is, in truth, a very strange person, believed to have been a captain of East India clipper ships in his day; so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name.”
Hp lovecraft: terrible old man
Define “alive”.
Unfortunately.
Will no one rid me of this tiresome turtle?
I mean clearly there is no god.
And in the capital???
I hope the hallway is OK
Leftist stairs
New Charlie Kirk meme dropped… to the left.
I can’t wait to piss on this fascist fuck’s grave.
Did he get back up?
Unfortunately
Damnit.
Someone must have turned him over so he wasn’t flailing on his shell. You know, showing that empathy that his party despises.
He was stumbling for several steps before falling. He has some serious mental/physical decline happening.
Dude’s into his mid-80s. He should be
playing with his grandkidsfinishing up his second decade in the Hague, not wandering the halls of the US Senate.
Can we get that video looped and set to yakity sax please? For the good of all mankind.
Here’s the video. Tried posting directly but Lemmy wouldn’t load it.
Posting instagram videos should be banned.
This is embarrassing as a nation, having cameras always on let’s us see how far we are falling constantly.
Literally and figuratively.
Tagged you as “Mark Zuckercuck’s Blood Boy” :)
He deserves to crawl.
I’m hopefully a long way off from it, but I tell my wife pretty regularly that if I ever fall and can’t get up to just leave me on the floor. Gravity will have made it’s decision, I’m to be a floor-person, no sense in trying to fight it. Let me crawl.
I work in 911 dispatch, I get calls all night, every night for lift-assists, sometimes we’re sending help out to the same place every night or even multiple times a night.
I don’t want that for myself.
Just fucking die already!
The necromancy is wearing off.
