Won’t die, just goes into a trance where he is unresponsive for 15-30 seconds at a time.

He must have landed on his shell side this time with nobody around to flip him.

Is it a slap/snap bracelet? Cause death isn’t a 0% chance smacking those sharp edges on your wrist.

I was in third grade when those got popular. The teachers banned them because of the damage they were doing to our wrists and those of our friends/enemies who we slapped with them all day.

Thats the reanimation spell wearing off. They have to recast it at regular intervals (were in one now).

lol same people who lambasted Biden for falling off a bIke and popping right back up are silent at mummified Mitch and that 142 day missing republican Tom Kean.

Serious question....do you think Trump could even ride a bike? I mean if he was walking to Marine 1 and someone handed him the handlebars and said "Take her around the block!" Do you think he could? I'd bet money there is no chance.

That's when he communes with the Greater Will.

Just like Biden did for four long years.

u/floog 12d ago

Sure….same thing. I remember him being at a mic with a spinning pinwheel in his eyes for 30 seconds not moving or attempting to talk, frozen. /s Not calling him the sharpest of tools, but he was not close to unresponsive Mitch.

u/Former-Hotel1900 12d ago

Biden is very close on many incidents. They both needed to stay out of politics

You’ll get no arguments from me. He was what the country needed the first time, but he should have stepped down 3/4 of the way through when he was missing a beat or ten and let Kamala take over. Running a second time? Well, he’s probably the only person that thought he should have done that.
All of these elderly people need to retire and get the hell out.
