I’m so torn. On the one hand this guy is a massive piece of shit and he deserves to be publicly ridiculed and shamed. On the other hand, getting old is scary as fuck and I feel some way about mocking someone about a clear neurological issue.
Politics aside, he just needs to retire at his age. (As do all people in positions of influence at that age.)
Getting old is a thing, unfortunately. Various privileges should be limited as cognitive decline increases. Driving, politics and even restrictions on physically demanding jobs are the first things I can think of that need to be pulled back from people. (Comprehensive and standardized cognitive testing may be an option? Not all people age the same way, obviously.)
Yeah, I’ll be old soon enough and will probably be kicking myself for saying the above in due time.
We should take his wishes into account as well. Would younger mitch McConnell be OK with old demented mitch being strung up and used like a fascist puppet? Yes, I think he would. So I don’t particularly feel bad for him, but good God someone put him and Feinstein in a home for the sake of the nation already.

This whole thing just gives me the ick.
