I just played pickleball with my old friend Mitch McConnell, the senior Senator from Kentucky. The game lasted just shy of 20 minutes, after which time we enjoyed a lovely lunch at his southern mansion prepared by descendants of slaves he personally selected and purchased himself centuries ago.

1. 🤣🤣🤣

[Shoeless Louis]

25. I assume you played at Bernie's on the weekend.

[Biophilic]

2. Thanks, got a good laugh out of the main headline.

[Goonch]

3. ;-{) THIS

[yourout]

4. This will be the ultimate auto pen.

Someone will wrap his fingers around a pen and write his signature with it.

[snowybirdie]

5. Lets get this one rolling

I just spent a lovely afternoon sunning with Mitch McConnell on Miami Beach sipping mojitos.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

10. I just saw Mitch McConnell with a Chinese menu in his hand

doing the Werewolf of London.

[Arrgh]

17. His hair was perfect.

[Beaverhausen]

14. Mitch McConnell just helped me bring my groceries in the house

We chatted about how hot it had been lately and what a shame about the USA's loss last night. Good times.

[PCIntern]

6. I thought I saw him practicing discus and shotput

but I may have been mistaken. It was probably too much after his 10,000 meter run

[applegrove]

7. I think Mitch's wife escaped to China because she wants no part his 'he is not comatose'

gambit.

[Dr. T]

13. Her mission is now complete.

She will live on in the annals of Chinese history as one of their most prolific agents.

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. Outstanding.

[Marcuse]

9. His staff indicates he will be back for the next Senate vote with reasonable accommodation.

[Buddyzbuddy]

11. I just saw him riding "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland.

He said the ride was stuck for almost a month. He's sure it was Lindsey Grahm pranking him.

[NBachers]

12. He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught it yet

[dawn5651]

15. i thought that was real until i got to the part where descendents of those bought were serving lunch....

omg. i laughed...pretty hard to play pickleball with someone who is as ill as senator mcconnell is.

[ColoringFool]

16. I just saw Mitch McConnell waving to a hare!

[Quanto Magnus]

18. more like

pickledball

[bottomofthehill]

19. better pickleball than a rousing game of hide the pickle.....

[Buckeyeblue]

20. We had a quick lunch

He didn't eat much. Kept his head bowed, as if in prayer. I said the food is not that bad. He kept praying until I excused myself. The man loves God.

[DoBW]

21. wait

they ate pickled balls?

[twodogsbarking]

22. They are waiting to name Interstate 86 after him. For the record MItch, you don't rot in hell, you burn.

[chouchou]

23. I saw Mitch in Walmart, this afternoon. Nice conversation...He was quite pleasant[

Although ,,He did shop lift a box of "Snickers" ..Said "I deserve them" "Fuck um.."

[sarchasm]

24. I actually shook McConnell.'s hand ...

I live in Nashville, but I'm from Louisville, and one thing's for certain, he's never held rake or a shovel in his life. His hand felt like a down pillow.

[usonian]

26. Who noticed? He actually played striker for the US men's team.

Too bad about the loss.

[kimbutgar]

27. I'm hoping we find out McConnell,passed away the same day as the orange piggy and since death

Occurs in threes who would be your third hope to die?

Putin would make it a wonderful day!

[Endlessmike56]

28. I saw Mitch McConnell drinking a Pina colada at Trader Vic's

And his neck was perfect!

[Aviation Pro]

29. I just spotted him on bench presses for 20 minutes

Where he hit 150, 165 and 190 KG singles. He seemed in fine fettle for a near corpse.
