    I like to think what happened is the atrophied part of his brain where a conscience would be suddenly came back online and for those 20 seconds he was consciously aware of what a monster he’d become.

      I like this take. My theory is that he passed the time limit on the go-juice and they had to take him back and hit him with another dose. What kind of chemicals are they pumping into this man to keep him shuffling around?

        The blood of the children SA by the church, members of the GOP, patriot front, anyone screaming groomers about the lgbtq+ community, and George Santos. And let’s not forget the blood harvest from the lgbtq+ children that are sent to re-education camps.

      What happened is he’s too fucking old to be making decisions for anyone not even himself.

      If you’ve ever had an 81yo person in your household you know that this kind of thing can just happen.

      Last person I knew of who had a stroke was my friend’s dad. His wife heard him cry out and when she got to the room he was in, he had fallen to his knees and was crying, reaching up toward his head with both hands.

      That’s a stroke.

        Coming from a former medic, strokes are one of those issues that present a ton of different ways. Some people are in excruciating pain, others can’t move their pinky and that’s it.

        I’ve trucked in an old timer who insisted he was fine and only going to make his wife stop nagging him. Guy had a brain bleed that would have killed him if he wasn’t already in the hospital.

        You’re completely right though, that he’s fucking 81 and it could have been a thousand different things. Just pointing out how insidious strokes can be. I have no idea why he wasn’t taken directly to hospital.

    Is it confirmed it was a stroke? They wheeled that cryptkeeper out to speak again later. These people are cold as ice.

    Looks like it could be an absence seizure. Don’t think it’s confirmed. Given the lack of FAST symptoms other than speech problems, I’m not thinking it was a stroke.

    Either that or his operating system encountered an unexpected error and he needed to be rebooted.

      FAST can help to identify a possible stroke but the lack of FAST symptoms doesn’t rule out a stroke. So CVA/TIA is still a possibility along with a dozen other things.

    I hope it wasn’t a stroke and that it was something more benign like an aura seizure instead. But if it actually was a stroke? It couldn’t have happened to a better person.

    We don’t know what it was, yet. Likely never will.

    Whatever it was, he’s one of th few people I have no qualms saying that I hope it hurt.
