I’m also hearing an unconfirmed report that he fell a second time once inside a room or office, but you know how the rumor mill is.

    Idk. Knowing that he knows he’s old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he’s probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.

      When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often

        Consider if he’s incapacitated. That takes away 1 vote in the senate. If he dies, the KY governor is required to pick from choices provided by the party of the departing senator. So they would necessarily be republican.

          I’d be hard pressed to believe they would be as evil and conniving as Mitch McConnell. So unless he’s incapacitated until he’s dead over a period of three years, without a single chance to be his fully awful self in the slightest…

          I’d still prefer my first choice.

          Edit: 2027 not 2028 for his last term.
