US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.

The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.

      He’s dead Jim. See Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch. Button down shirt in a hospital?? Where is the IV that everyone has in a hospital. Angles are all wrong. That photo is Ai as hell.

        He looks fresher and healthier than he’s been in the past twenty fucking years.

        NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THAT.

        I know he’s a conservative evil fucking parasite, I do know that.

        Edit: I have the same feeling like when you were a teenager and you bought oregano thinking it was weed and one of your pals is like no no just smoke some more maybe it’ll just take some time to kick in.

        BITCH you got scammed.

          @anarchy79 I agree with you that they’re parasites.

          I never had anyone try bringing me oregano to smoke. But I understand your analogy that it takes time to kick in for most people. I’ve seen this comin’ since the early 2000s when white ppl would be freaking out about the demographics showing they were going into a minority.

          Reports were coming out about fascism getting us since around 2010. Saw those, too.

          I’ll take the bite out of the apple. How do you believe I was scammed?
