If Nancy Pelosi had a black eye, bruised lip, and her hands looked like they were necrotizing, it would be a 24/7 news story. But McConnell just handwaved it and the MSM nodded along like they did when Bernie showed up with a bandage the size of a hoagie on his head.

(12,712 posts)At the rate he is rotting, chunks of him could fall off when he waves his hand.
He could be in the pre-zombie phase, which would make sense. They don't tell you what's wrong with them, they just walk stiffly and, at some point, groan the all too familiar zombie slogan: "Brainz!"

Just like Cheney, who didn't have a heart, so they had to install one..............
BTW, has anyone seen or heard from Cheney/Rumsfeld/etc ??????? Are they the ones in the background that are orchestrating, organizing and directing this entire RepubliCON tragedy ?????????
They should have been locked up at the Hague for the past decade, them and a hundred other minions of theirs.......

None of those people went away, they're still doing their dirty work. In my opinion, letting their crimes go unmentioned was probably the worst mistake the Obama admin made. And it's not just them, ever since Ford set the precedent for pardoning Nixon for everything, republicons have run a criminal empire unchallenged.

What's this? What's happening? What's going on here?!
Dr. Jack
(675 posts)If he is on any sort of blood thinners and he fell, landing on his hand and face, that could be the cause. He's almost 80 years old and that is a pretty typical presentation of someone who is elderly who fell. It's total speculation on my part, since I know nothing about his health or medical history. But that's probably what we're looking at here.

(22,877 posts)and likewise in that post there was just a head shot of Giuliani and not the complete picture.. head shot and picture of bruised hand..soooooooo someone needs to put up the complete picture of who the person is with the bruised hand.. and do not think for a second the Russians would not play a game like this with us.. just saying

(2,367 posts)...maybe not as bad as this, a few weeks before he died of multiple organ failure due to complications from severe diabetes.
Something is severely wrong with Moscow Mitch.

He died 20 years ago. The main culprit was late-onset diabetes. He just WOULD NOT mind his doctors, and when one of em wouldnt cooperate, hed just go find another one.
After awhile of trying to fight with him about it, we just gave up. He and my mom lived separately but never divorced. He had umpteen different ways of finding his way to the local donut place. We tried everything to get him to stay on a diet or just a smarter eating program. No luck. He refused to listen - to the very end.
Its pretty crappy when all you realistically have left to hope for is a mercifully quick end.
FakeNoose
(32,639 posts)My guess is he had a fall, and maybe they checked him out for possible stroke or heart failure?
If he doesn't want to talk about it, he should just resign and stay home.
TexasBushwhacker
(20,190 posts)Or maybe he fell because he was drunk or had a seizure. They drew blood from his hands and caused a massive hematoma because he's on blood thinners, even something as simple as aspirin. I've gotten a hematoma from a blood draw myself.

(14,751 posts)Sometimes they call a special election. It depends on factors like how far into a term the person was.
In any event, in MA, the legislature passed a bill requiring a special election back when dukakis ran for president and romney was governor. They turned it back again at a later time but can change it at any time.
In MA, we have veto proof majorities in both chambers. KY probably does also for the gop, so nothing is locked in.

(11,421 posts)I was on Blood thinners (Eliquis) for awhile a few years back for afib, since corrected. I'd bruise if I farted crooked. I've been off of them for awhile and I still bruise a little easy but, not like on the thinners. It only took a small tap and the whole hand would bruise.
