Did he break his neck? Damn. I mean damn, did he break his neck?

I doubt he even has a backbone..so I doubt it.

He just wobbled like jello all the way down

I like to imagine he went end over end down the stairs the way a slinky does

I feel like slinkies have much more integrity. Physical and otherwise.

Oh DAMN hahah

He didn't break his neck. Damn.

So did he really fall?

Miracle he didn't break his leg!

He did, but is okay, I guess. www.rawstory.com/mitch-mcconn...

hopefully not for long

He wasn’t “ok” before the fall so he’s fine.

😁🙌

Boo

Disappointing

Arguable.

Sorry to hear (that he’s ok)

Shame

Damn it

He may be old but he’s solidly feeble.

Comrade stairs, please finish the job 🙏

Come on stairs, do better

LOL

If an 82-year-old falls down the stairs then gets up and walks it off, I feel like the phrase "falls down the stairs" was an exaggeration.

Pity.

💔

How do evil people continue to defy the odds?

my feelings exactly, Pikachu

We may disagree on the definition of okay. He is still Mitch McConnell.

push him again

Do it like Miro to Darby Allin

harder next time

He just like me frfr

That’s unfortunate

stairs only have to be lucky once. mitch mcconnell needs to be lucky every time

I give the stairs Bardic Inspiration. 🎲

I cast guidance on the stairs. And vicious mockery on Bitch McConnell

i silvery barbs McConnell, he has to make the roll again

Is this a motivational poster?

❤️

Damn it.

Damn

Did he and Ivana Trump have mutual friends?

If he were to pass away…would the gov get to appoint his replacement?

Not anymore. apnews.com/article/kent...

Fascism at work.

Yes, I remember this and of course they did.

Thank you. Still not going to wish him a speedy recovery.

Even before that law, it would have been the KY governor choosing from 4 names sent to him by the KY GOP

💅🏻

i need footage so i can laugh at it the same way i laugh at castro falling down a single step of stairs 64.media.tumblr.com/612b77887600...

Breaking: The stairs in relation to his fall?

Seems like a metaphor for something important.

Hope he bounced off every single one

Video or it doesn't count

Why the fuck is he leaving work at 11 AM? Did he show up at 3?

I hope the stairs are ok

Those stairs didn't deserve that.

Now the stairs have to be rebuffed and polished.

I hope the stairs are okay.

Well, I guess he won't read my email.

Taking steps to improve the world

Fell or was pushed? Wouldn’t put it past the new MAGA.

damn i misread that

Thoughts and prayers. For the stairs.

He's just trying to make us laugh during these trying times.

Truly a modern Jerry Lee Lewis (wow that’s offensive to Jerry)

Goodness gracious great balls of fire that's a hot take

I’m thinking you mean Jerry Lewis, The Nutty Professor one, not Jerry Lee Lewis, the Great Balls of Fire one. Cuz I’m not able to visualize McConnell with Fire Balls. Maybe it’s just me.

AHHHH HAHAHAHA I did totally biff it. That whole era of music and movies is not my forte. Yes I did mean Jerry Lewis from The Nutty Professor not the singer. lol. My bad.

Unfortunately, it is my forte lol I’m getting old.

Oh I’m no spring chicken too. Thanks for the info though I’ll likely never make the mistake again.

Counterpoint: your version was funnier, albeit by accident

He was crazy AF on stage from what I’ve seen.

I took a photo of it, Ken.

Any update on the condition of the stairs?

It’s time to retire

Breaking... His goddamn bones lmao

One more Senate vote down! If you live in a red state, call your senators to block RFK Jr in the senate vote. Especially if you are in Murkowski or Collin’s districts. Hegseth had 3 cross the aisle, we only need 4. ITS NOT TOO LATE

Hope the stairs are OK

We have got to have term limits! This is insane.

Can we watch it in slow-mo?

Can’t he just pull into his shell?

My prayers answered—16 years too late. Which means that in 2041, Patrick Mahomes will slam his right index finger in a car door.

Oh well Lol

more of this pls

have him try again on an up escalator

Okay, this is hilarious to imagine

if sisyphus was also the boulder

& a geriatric turtle man

Anyone falling down stairs can get easily injured but someone his age is prone to severe issues. Folks saying they hope he is dead or otherwise severely incapacitated are sick in the head.

Better to be sick in the head than defend Mitch McConnell

Not wishing someone to be harmed or dead is not the same thing as defending their record. Having basic human decency and insisting that others be afforded dignity despite their insistence to not offer the same is the morally correct path. Chose the hard right over the easy wrong, or you are them.

You’re right, laughing about Mitch McConnell falling is about as bad as anything Mitch McConnell ever did, you’re so smart for this take

I can only type oh the words I can't understand them for you. Bless your heart.

You can’t suck him back up off the floor

Clearly you've got a lot of unresolved issues. Try therapy. I'll mute you so you can read this before I block you. You're not worth anyone's time. 🙂

Does this make him a DEI hire now?

His age makes him a protected class…..

More like a protected ass.

Kentucky elected him Senator. Voting is the way we do term limits.

tight

How apropos.. now he and our country have fallen.

Hegseth stood at the top of the stairs behind him. Smirking and sucking on a bottle of vodka.

oh well...and in other news

These infirmed old, out of touch, greedy, money grabbers stay until they die. He’s the exact reason that everything that is happening is possible. F him to hell.

youtu.be/mUlpHM19Yzc.

Did someone record it? God I hope someone recorded it.

I hope it was something straight out of a John Wick movie

I think we’re entering the people falling out of windows phase.

Well, Jean-Marie Le Pen and Anita Bryant so far this year!

Lol

No he didn't. He fell UP a stair, trying to get to a podium.

Political office wasn't designed to be hospice or assisted living. C'mon America, get your shit together and quit voting for these people who are circling the drain.

Did he land on his back?

Breaking indeed.

What

vaxxed?

What’s the count up to now, like, 5 members of Congress who have taken a tumble down stairs in the past few months?

Failure stairs haven’t killed a single one though I mean *cough* it’s terrible

Ooops.

Running away from his responsibility for what we are living through, no doubt.

i warned you about stairs i told you dog

Pics and vids or it didn’t happen. Purely for research purposes, of course. Not to point and laugh.

Our legislature is just an old folks home.

Where they THINK they are still in charge. 😂

Right?! Like a lot of old folks' homes the dementia is evident.

YASSSSS!

I bet it sounded like one of those bamboo windchimes

skull probably sounded like a hollowed-out coconut

The ancestors are fed up with his a$$.

I do not wish harm on anyone but Mitch McConnell is a ruthless soulless person and when he meets his god, there will be a reckoning.

I think you mean when he shakes hands with his brother Satan.

dude, we told him he wasn't ready to attempt the indy backflip. some folks just shouldn't skate

Twice, I heard

2025 "I always knew those stairs were a travesty" 2020 "these stairs are perfect and are in fact the envy of the world. It is impossible to overstate how great they are and to suggest otherwise is a miscarriage of justice."

He’s probably having an interesting time realising what he’s helped to unleash

You seriously think he has that much insight?

Or conscience

Fuck Mitch McConnell.

Damn, are the stairs okay?

Too early to hope this news is LITERALLY BREAKING.

Turtle short-circuited again

Did he get Showgirled?

Mitch McConnell also had polio as a child.

He’s 82 now

His age seriously affects his already crippled legs.

Sprained his wrist and hit his face, the man is indestructible.

There's still some bright spots even in darkness.

Was hoping this "read fell down the stairs into hell while departing this life"

Not quite yet, there's a queue with the Senate.

Breaking? Yes, I hope so.

Term limits please! Oh and thoughts and prayers…

No no, he doesn’t get to check out and miss this sh*t show he’s created. MFer has to live long enough to reap what he sowed.

Well that might be one less confirmation vote…js🤷🏽‍♀️

If he dies, his seat sits empty or Andy gets to appoint a replacement. Either option is better than him being there.

Don’t care.

Oh god that's awful are the stairs okay?

omg are the stairs okay?

If he doesn't bow to Trump he's going to fall out of a window. Isn't tyranny fun!

Musk pushed him. I saw it. So did all of you.

Overheard

Pushed him with an open hand

Did a Trump Toadie push him?

10 years too late.

www.commondreams.org/news/mitch-m...

Say what you will about Schumer, he hasn't aged half as horribly as McConnell.

tots and stairs

I hope he fucking dies quick.

like this guy youtu.be/E3yOnr2cl3c?...

let's hope he's looking up at us soon 🙏

BREAKING: 82 year old Senator Mitch McConnell's legs probably

For the second time?

Happened right after voting to confirm HUD secretary...talk about instant karma!

Titanium hips or something?

everyone better keep hoping DC gets hit with more sleet/freezing rain

Is he dead?

Inside, maybe.

Lol Mitch McConnell may have no soul, but he definitely is very alive inside. I know this because every time he talks about doing something objectively evil, you can see the glee in his eyes. Dude is a straight up demon

Gee whiz I hope he didn't break his neck. (It would be impossible for him to break his spine since he doesn't have one.)

I hope it hurt.

Is he dead?

Oh no. Anyway…gif

Did rfk push him?

Thatd be the 2nd time in just under 2 months

3rd time overall

The perils of the average age in the senate being "should have retired 10 years ago"

Rip bozo

Maybe today is looking up. He is the man responsible for this bullshit we are living through. Feels like a big ass dose of karma.

mitchy fell down so today could look up

Will this help give Democrats control in the Senate, I hope.

I hope he hit his head.

Oh, SNAP! 🦴 😂

LETS GO

His ghost is going to haunt DC forever

I’m going to tell myself he was pushed

Is it my birthday?

Are the stairs ok?

😂😂😂😂😂

😂

Bravo

Is no one in the Senate able to come to the conclusion that voting on a bill is actually more cognitively intense than standing on some stairs? If Mitch can't handle one, we shouldn't be letting him do the other. He's fallen repeatedly because he's too goddamn old to be a Senator.

I sometimes wonder if he even remembers that he hates Trump.

vaxxed?

That explains the 5G notification he sent straight to my head.

Duuude we gotta fight them by going lower, lemme think of an even stupider response to this.

Hey ever since I got vaxxed I get free HBO right to my eyeballs! 🤓

Response I came up with: bsky.app/profile/kale...

How is that relevant?

It’s a joke/meme.

how is it not? stop being a sheeple

That made me laugh

haha well done.

Haha, dude do you think vaccines are real? Clearly, the government has infected Mitch McConnell's brain through the use of DEI space lasers and a genetically modified version of RFK Jr's brainworms that are able to become an airborne disease. Clearly, the woke liberals got you. We lost another one.

Yes he should've and you should too. If you've never seen an old person trip on stairs, welcome to the real world. Instead of asking questions that divert us from real problems, how about you address accessibility and the fact that this is smth that happens to a lot of old folks and we can fix it.

Considering that he had polio as a child, I feel vaguely guilty for giggling.

Don't feel bad. If there is a victim in that scenario, it's the polio virus. It had to be INSIDE Senator Palpatine. Imagine how horrifying that would be.

When you recall exactly why polio is coming back, you'll feel better.

Don't, he's the worst thing that happened to this country since Reagan. If they could give him polio now with an updated version of the virus, he'd deserve it.

Between him and Thomas Midgley, I can't TOTALLY dislike the polio virus.

Concerning.

You have said the actual truth

Concerning. Looking into this!

Big if true.

😹👍🏼

lol but insanely

Big if True!

oop you said it first 🤝🏼😂

hahahaha a+

Blood clots in the feet

Gawd was out of lightning bolts?

still hope to see "mitch mcconnell just fell" followed with "into an active volcano" someday.

Most of these people want to apparently literally drop dead in office.

bold of you to assume they haven't already died and have been dead for years at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a reanimated corpse in Congress right now.

BREAKING: 82 year old Senator Mitch McConnell

Was he pushed? A la Putin?

i hope hes breaking...breaking all his fuckin bones

Thoughts and prayers!!!

Oh my God

Never thought I’d laugh at an old man falling down the stairs. Thank you for all the comments I’m crying 😂😂😂😂😂

Finally some good news

I promise I'm not laughing

6 years too late. Hope he dies

What kind of shoes was he wearing? Did he use the hand rail? Was he dressed in a way that may have invited falling down the stairs? Can he prove that he didn't *want* to fall down the stairs? oh well thoughts & prayers 🙏

He was flaunting his potential energy in a way that made him irresistibly attractive to gravity. Definitely brought it on himself by going up the stairs to begin with.

For some reason it's so much funnier that he was going up the stairs than if he was going down. Going up is so much easier than going down, especially when you're old.

I assumed he fell on the way down. But going up increase your gravitational potential (I'll spare you a physics lesson on the details =)

mgh, baby

🔥

“Irresistibly attractive to gravity” ☠️

Overheard

Dont worry, If the fall wasnt legitimate the body has a way of rejecting the broken bones.

I love you both. So so much

🔥

Overhead

🔥

I'm concerned that those stairs were built by DEI workers.

That is hilarious

Bummer.

You're leaving out the most important detail, man.

He survived.

If he walked down some non-DEI stairs, he would have been fine. DEI strikes again.

Actually DEI would've saved him because there would be a ramp

Lollllllll

is there video

Was he pushed by a person wearing a Guy Fawkes or Luigi mask??? Cause that'd be great.

Is there video?

🍿

There's something about leading with the word "breaking" in all caps that I find very amusing in this specific instance. I know that's extremely normal in news reporting, but it's still funny. Like it's not describing the news itself but rather what happened to McConnell.

🤣🤣🤣 break your neck old man!

Those poor stairs :(

I’m having a burrito for lunch.

I had a shot of saké!

I’m jealous!

Addison. His first name is Addison. Gotta stick to what's on the birth certificate, remember?

@rachu.bsky.social @huncamunca.bsky.social lmfao

LMAO still funny

Hooray for stairs.

I fell down some stairs before Christmas and I’m half his age

Good god, that was seven weeks ago! Was this staircase in the Sears Tower or something?

It’s winter in Canada 🤷‍♂️

unfortunate phrasing

can i watch it in slow mo?

I hope the pain is unbearable.

Wash, rinse repeat.

Better carry him back up to throw him down again to be sure.

Well 🤷🏿‍♀️

Neil Gorsuch notices outside of the window of his limo, shrugs, and tells the driver to keep going

Hehehe

Again??

BREAKING: old ass joints

Are the stairs ok?

He needs to retire his old dehydrated ass!!

🤣😆😂

Hmm. After speaking out, he falls. I know that he is older, but who was standing near him at the time? Were his shoes messed with at all? I am finding this stair-falling trend (think Nancy Pelosi) of late reminding me of a woman who fell down the stairs and was laid to rest at a weedy golf course.
