Mitch McConnell expected to return to Senate this week
When Dianne Feinstein briefly returned to the Senate in 2023, she was unable to answer basic questions and needed significant assistance to cast key votes. Her staff physically shielded her from reporters. I expect McConnell's staff will do the same, despite it being obvious that he can't do his job
if history repeats itself, GOP leaders will realize they can't compel McConnell to resign and that his staff is going to (barely) cover up his poor health to keep their own jobs. So then those leaders will invent procedural reasons for why McConnell must stick around www.nytimes.com/2023/05/24/u...
they’re gonna put him in the beeping chair like Captain Pike
I still think he's dead
"Expected" is doing a lot of work in that Politico headline.
Mitch McConnell rolling up to vote...
He may not be dead, but if not, he's basically a vegetable. They may prop him up like Feinstein was. But this is all a partisan scam (in line with his whole career).
How exciting that he’ll be returning to work the same week the Iran war ends. Two things we can definitely count on, probably by Wednesday at the latest if I’m a betting man.
They may be too busy keeping the flies off him, TBH.
one thing i never get with the gerontocracy is why none of them want to retire, live off the teet of their federal pensions, maybe write a book or do a speaking tour to make a few mill, and just like...chill out a bit? is the power really that intoxicating?
It’s after 3pm in Washington DC. The Senate is in session. No Mitch McConnell.
mitch mcconnell is expected to return next week and i expect news of him having another "medical emergency" this week
i do not really care what is going on or not with his health i just don't want to have to follow through with my promise ok
preview of mitch mcconnell when they bring him in next week
100% he's going to pass suddenly in his sleep sometime this week.
I thought it was today
live footage of him returning
I thought he was supposed to return today.
MIA Mitch McConnell set to return to the Senate next week. Mitch will need a large entourage to get him there. Me, holding my breath.
Has anyone really seen or talked to this person of interest been missing for two months and not heard from but is doing proxy votes.
Report him to the FBI! OH wait! Kash Patel could not find his own head with both eyes wide open.
Large entourage, with headlights on, driving very slowly.
Usually only 6 pallbearers are used for a coffin. 🤔
It’s gonna be so funny when McConnell walks in that bitch looking healthy, spry, and ready to get to work for the American People thehill.com/homenews/sen...
backflipping down the capitol halls like joliet jake in church in "the blues brothers"
I hope they roll him in like Hannibal Lecter
No it will not and let me explain why
Being in congress allows these people free access to a quality of necromancy that regular Americans could never hope to afford, it's disgusting
Let’s make America great again 🤝
I wanna see him Willy Wonka his way into the chamber, then do a lap catching high-fives.
They say McConnell is expected to return to Senate this week. This is the first time in US political history that I've had to wonder how long it takes to find a convincing lookalike.
what if it was just Paul McCartney
dude's gonna show up to the Senate looking like the first time they had to recast the Master
I'll refer you to the end of Tom Sharpe's "The Throwback", with its animatronic taxidermied corpse. (Bonus points to anyone who hacks the theoretical Wi-Fi link and has the deceased denounce ICE in public.)
Ok, so either they announce his "death after a long illness that kept him from his office the past XX months" or they keep claiming that reporters "just missed him" or he is "busy".
