  1. I'm all for mental competency tests. But there are plenty of older people who are saner than MTG, and more mentally competent than Fetterman. Age is a stupid metric to use, as it wouldn't weed out the least competent.

  2. I never like McConnell, and his machiavellian tactics. But, his problems are due to a concussion, not age. My dad had similar dizzy spells, after a head injury, and he'd hold totally still when they hit him, because any movement made it much worse. Anyone claiming that McConnell should retire because of his concussion, who is not calling for Fetterman to quit the Senate, because of his stroke, is a raving hypocrite.

  3. At least he doesn't need a computer, to tell him what people are saying. And Senators don't "push the button". Learn how our government works.

  4. Nah, dizziness due to a concussion. He's still as sharp as ever. Give it a year, and the dizzy spells will end.

  5. His problem is due to an injury, not an illness. My dad suffered a severe concussion, that left in a coma for ten days, and suffered the same bouts of dizziness for about a year. He too would hold totally still, when the dizziness struck him, because any movement made it worse. He was still mentally acute for a couple of decades after that.
