The Republican leader was silent for more than 30 seconds after being asked if he will run for re-election. He froze at a news conference in July.

All jokes on this fucker getting what he deserves aside. How sad is it this is the state of our politics. The rest of us are watching this dude, who is in charge of major decisions that affect our collective lives, literally “stroke out” when being asked a simple question. Just looking into those soulless eyes with bated breath like we are going to hear something other than nonsense dribble off of his chin.
I see it and all I can think of is those gross “wise men” from the movie 300. This is what the death of democracy looks like…
