Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.

The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”

When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

    Older folks have an obligation to keep up. I’ve been using PCs since 1982 and built a few.

    But I don’t know Jack about coding. Since reading a lot of the conversations about the move to the fediverse I realize I need to up my game.

      I was an original Livejournal member, and Lemmy has the same feeling.

        Its too soon to tell, but right now Lemme seems more hospitable than Reddit towards the end. But I reckon we’ll have to see how the inevitable incursion of bots and trolls affects the atmosphere.
