Mitch McConnell limping to the presser with Qevin today made me think he looks like death is just

[Comfortably_Numb]

a heartbeat away. But that’s me, always looking at the bright side.

[emulatorloo]

1. I think he's sick and tired of Kevin's bullshit.

As much as I don’t like McConnell, I doubt he wants to blow up the US economy to help Trump.

[anciano]

4. I agree.

[H2O Man]

5. +1

[Cha]

7. I was wondering about that?

[stopdiggin]

9. +1. forced to carry water (and feign solidarity)

with a cretin and a political pipsqueak. I really rather doubt that McConnell wants to spend any time in the same room ... On the other hand - Mitch McConnell sold his soul to the party - a long, long time ago.

(and just desserts - as that party now metastasizes into - McCarthy and MTG)

[Irish_Dem]

2. Rumors inside the beltway say there are two very ill sitting US senators.

I have already said who one of them is. And was smacked around for it.

Who is the other one?

[calimary]

21. Yeah! Anybody know?

Ol’ Mitch sure doesn’t seem very sprightly anymore.

[Irish_Dem]

23. That is my guess too.

[calimary]

28. I read elsewhere here that there are two.

DiFi is one of ‘em and the poster didn’t know who the other one was. But a second somebody is supposed to be in very bad health

Chuck Grassley’s no spring chicken and evidently hasn’t exactly in the best of health. But the presumed second seriously ailing Senator was not identified.

The post described the illnesses as more serious than is being described.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Yes

One is DiFi. The other one could be McConnell or Grassley.
We are guessing on the second one.

[calimary]

43. McConnell's position is WAY high profile. But he's been mighty subdued lately.

It’s not like him. He’s ordinarily much more forceful a personality. But lately it seems like he’s just coasting along at minimal power.

Just speculation on my part, though.

[Irish_Dem]

44. Yes I agree. I think something serious is going on with him.

[DFW]

26. My guess is that someone was trying to refer to Feinstein, although there's Chuckles Grassley......

I hear that Grassley of Iowa is not exactly at the top of his game, either. A friend of mine from Iowa said the Democratic Senate campaign was waiting for Grassley to have one of his ever-more-frequent "senior moments" on camera before the election last year, but he had plenty of them, they didn't get their wish to get any of them captured on a video that they felt they could use and not be in bad taste. Stupid Democrats, always trying to be civil about these things...........

[Irish_Dem]

27. Interesting.

One of the sitting senators who is quite ill is of course DF.
We know that.

Interesting about Grassley. Yes it could be him.

We have an aging US senate population and there should be transparency
about their health. We have a right to know if senators are capable of doing their jobs.

They are federal employees paid by the US taxpayer.

I just shake my head when people say it is none of our business if a US senator is too ill to do their job.

If US Senators don't want to answer questions they need to get the hell off the public gravy train.
Go find another job in private industry.

[BlackSkimmer]

34. Did you read the Rolling Stone article about the other one?

I just read it today, and it is really kind of scary (and sad).

[Irish_Dem]

36. No I heard the rumor about a month ago.

What does the RS article say?

[BlackSkimmer]

37. I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say here, but I'll message you the link.

Someone here sent it to me. I hit the paywall, but they do have a certain number of free articles you can read.

I ended up going to my local library to read it lol.

[Irish_Dem]

39. Thank you!

[Ocelot II]

3. At this point Mitch might consider death to be an upgrade.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Did kevs face look like he had some blood pressure issues

As it looked the last two times he came out of a meeting with Dark Brandon?

It’s time for Mitch to have a lee Atwater moment. Mitch would have died a long time ago had it not been for socialized medicine.

[Joinfortmill]

8. 👍

[NewDayOranges]

10. If MM croaks (pun intended) who will the Senate repukes

Choose to be their new leader?

They have no decent back benchers..benches...

Cruz? Graham? Eeeeeeeew.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. Mike Crapo, or John "Cornhole" Cornyn maybe...

Graham is also a possibility.

No way in hell Cruz is considered.

[hatrack]

24. Thune, who at one point was pushed as a presidential candidate because (wait for it) . . .

. . . he's tall.

[usonian]

12. Doctor Mitchenstein is tired of taking flak for that monster he created.

Mitch previously looked like he was run over by a steamroller, and survived.

The devil takes care of his own.

Only Daniel Webster beat him at a deal.



Joe Biden can be the second.
(Jack Smith can be the third)

[Poiuyt]

25. We just watched that movie tonight!

[marble falls]

13. You'd think he'd quit while the quitin' is good. It isn't like he couldn't be anywhere he wants ...

... to be on this planet. He is plenty rich.

[Skittles]

18. gotta wonder about these fucking assholes

they have the money to do anything they want but they simply prefer having the power to fuck the American people

[marble falls]

19. Why can't enough be plenty more than enough and then one stands back from the trough.

[Skittles]

20. some people never seem to have enough

and what's up with these big celebrities in commercials now? Ben Affleck for Dunkin Donuts, the Breaking Bad guys pimping chips, Brie Larson for Nissan???

[flying_wahini]

32. Yea and they never have enough, and Huge egos that will never be satisfied.

Probably the only love they ever felt.

[treestar]

30. +1 notice how old they get

and keep it up - being in the Senate must be the greatest thing ever. Nobody wants to retire. Having that power obviously tops having money or traveling or family.

[marble falls]

31. They lose all sense of enough. They end up dying somwhere else or on the way or from somewhere else

And the next generation burns through the pile of loot.

[Thunderbeast]

14. There is NOTHING moderate about McConnell!

His antics to seal the Supreme Court for a generation for the Federalist Society cabal is not forgivable. He is every bit the power hungry evil sociopath that Trump is.

He is just more subdued publicly.

[malaise]

40. THIS

That is all

[C Moon]

15. Evil like McConnell live to 100.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Feinstein looks that way too IMHO. Time we just

say, whatever. Even if on the other side? Ted Kennedy slogged to work with horrible back pain !!! And he could have just sipped gin & tonics on a yacht off the Cape.

[BlackSkimmer]

35. Yep. nt

[former9thward]

17. I did not see him today but he has always limped.

He had polio as a kid and has had the aftereffects into adulthood with a limp. He has always used the handrail to get into the Senate chambers.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

22. videos of him in 2022 vs this week for comparison

for comparison


mitch 2022

Mitch 4 days ago

[lame54]

33. He died years ago...

His evilness is keeping him animated

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Ya I just remember that great speech he gave on the floortrashing

TFG. Remember couldn't believe it was him talking. Too bad it was just a momentary one off. But know, personally, he hates trump with a passion. But party line overrules that.

[BlackSkimmer]

41. To be fair, I think he's had a limp since he had polio.

Gonna have to cut him a break on that one.

[Comfortably_Numb]

42. What would we be if we didn't have heart?. Deal, break on the limp, but taking the whole nut

on being a vile pile of pig shit….
