Low O2 or a fall with the color on his lips and his hands look like he might have coronary
heart disease. The GOP changed the law in KY so the Governor can't pick the replacement
if a senator can't finish his term.

... the rat fucking of our democracy, blocking the evidence of Trump's crimes in impeachment #1
being shown to the Senate voted to convict and remove Trump, blocked President Obama's pick
for SCOTUS even be given a hearing, took joy in hurting the American people so they would blame
Obama, and helped in some kind of way if only just by his silence in Russia installing Trump into
the White House.

Mitch has been very skillful in his use of the rules of the Senate and his Senatorial powers to hurt
America in order to help the very rich stay very rich and that our elections are not clean. Mitch
blocked in making sure that Russia stayed out of elections in '18, 20, & '22 and in securing the
safety of electronic voting machines.

If he's really OK, then we are no worse off than we were before he fell. On the other hand, if he's pulling some macho routine at age 81, and gets released against the advice of informed medical personnel, well, then let fate take its course. If he should fall comatose, miss a few dozen crucial votes in the Senate, and leave a dirty caucus fight for succession well, that was his call.
