Until I see a video, not a photo, of McConnell walking, talking, and participating in rehab, I won't believe that he's conscious and mentally competent.
I thought the exact same thing. My grandpa had a massive stroke and lived for years. He couldn’t talk, and who knows what was going on in his brain. Yet, I have numerous pictures of him that I could show you where if you didn’t know any better, he looked fine. He could sit there and smile just like you see in this picture. How come McConnell has been well enough to have multiple 20 minute conversations with Republicans where he's discussed substantive policy, yet he cannot even videotape a brief statement? The BS Meter is at max on this one.
Yes, I'm old enough to remember when Yasser Arafat was propped up by his handlers for a "proof of life" photo in which he looked so terrible it just made things worse. He died shortly after that. And now we have AI to help with that type of deception.
Thank you. This is one of the most honest and direct looks at the person most responsible for what most Americans hate: money in politics, do-nothing Congress (well, do nothing GOOD, anyway...they passed the OBBB), bitter partisan "cult-over-country" Republican obstructionism, insurrection and efforts toward minority rule, and blatant violations of our laws and Constitution.
Not since Nixon has "impoundment" been an issue; yet this criminal PedoPINO and his cult have worked tirelessly to thwart our Constitution and enable one-man rule of our nation.
Traitor McConnell created a Constitutional crisis with his failure to push for consequences for the first person to attempt a coup in America's White House, and now the illegitimate PedoPINO whom he helped get illegally elected then colluded to make "King Above Laws" and ensure bribery became legal while also working for unlimited money to influence politics has bombed 7 countries ("I will end wars"), started a new forever war in Iran (after firing the COMPETENT, PROFESSIONAL military leaders to promote Republican cult-subservient lackeys), lost half our standoff munitions and 13 American troops' lives in a few days, burned through our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (ya know, the emergency gas tank in case of ACTUAL strategic emergency) to the minimum operational level, and whose rubber-stamp confirmations of his Klown Kar Kabinet got us RFK Jr and measles, the rasslin' lady's pedantic expertise at Education, the moronic Klansman parade that is now DHS/ICE/Gestapo murdering Americans and others in our streets without accountability, the most overtly corrupt DoJ in American history (LITERALLY breaking the law daily since December while covering for the pedophiles in their ranks like Trump, Lutnick, Musk, Clarence "Uncle" Thomas, and others), and, of course, the effort by the federal government to decide whose votes will be "allowed," as well as violations of MOST of our Constitution (Articles I & II, Amendments 1,4,5,6,8,14 and others).
ALL of this could have been prevented had Traitor McConnell simply honored our Constitution...but he chose cult over country, and now WE must live through the crises HE worked hard to create even after his impending death (which cannot happen soon enough: he's done enough damage, don't you think?)
He should be remembered as the traitor to our Constitution that he was: trying to paint him as otherwise would be the very whitewashing of actual history that the Republican cult calls "woke."
Thanks for this vital and accurate summary of this traitor to our Democracy.. I copied it for reference . I hope he lives to see Democracy revived in November and The Serpent crushed in 2028.

Ditto. "Statements" don't do it.
The movie “Weekend at Bernie’s” comes to mind.
Absolutely.
Andy Borowitz put out a hilarious AI video of McConnell dancing which looks like it was based on the hospital photo.
If he could sit up in a chair on his own, that photo wouldn’t be of him propped up in bed with his clothes on and his wife bracing him.
Of course — buffoon that he is, Trump is seen as a gateway to the return of segregated America and/or a future Christian Nationalist theocracy.

An important warning for Democrats
When Satan thinks of Mitch McConnell, it blushes...
The sooner that SOB dies, the better. What a destroyer of our democracy.
I'd love for this to be his obit, sooner rather than later.
Preserve this one in aspic. And that term “asymmetric polarization” is really outstanding. I trust it’s your own, as I’ve not heard it before.
Isn't his wife overseas? Suspect this photo is AI generated and not the real thing at all.
