Stop posting unverified bullshit as if it’s fact.

The rascally senior was last seen enjoying a weekend at his place surrounded by his friends. Sporting a fashionable combo of sunglasses and a blue jacket he was somewhat quieter than usual but present wherever the action was.

I just want to step back and appreciate the absurdity that, regardless of the cause, voters have absolutely no way to even initiate a replacement process for a senator that has failed to even show up in public (let alone do his job) for a month.

why has he not been fired & replaced?

one of his colleagues, the Democratic senator Cory Booker, offered his “thoughts and prayers” to the former Republican majority leader, but added: “This is just unfortunately an issue of politics in general: people don’t know when to gracefully step aside.” Fucking lol. It’s been time for the vast majority of Congress to step aside and let actual representatives of the people take power. That goes double for most Democrats, who put up more of a fight against the “radical left extremists” then they do against literal fucking fascists and genocidal Nazis tearing this country apart. I’m frankly surprised Booker managed to get Netanyahu’s cock out of his mouth long enough to give such a lengthy statement.

In the days of AI I’m not sure a photo counts. How about a live interview?

World would be a better place if he died

“In his hand” does some heavy lifting there. I’ve seen victorian corpse photoes more convincing than that, except maybe for open eyes. And that’s the best they could do with his barely animated body?

Ms Lindsey started the trifecta rule so don’t rest easy Moscow Mitch.

Pretty sure he is too old for his job.

Photos mean precisely fuck-all in today’s world, unfortunately.

It’s AI/shopped. Who the fuck holds up a newspaper to prove they’re alive? I have NO evidence for my claim, but I won’t believe anything without multiple angles; a photo isn’t proof of anything any longer to me. p.s. I think government AI manipulation is probably 10 years or so ahead of civilian capabilities.

Say what you will about Lindsey Graham, but it was fucked up for them to drain his life energy to revive McConnell like that.

@weps@lemmy.world 2026-07-13 01:18
Must be nice to get confirmation that your senators are still alive

It seems weird in this time when short videos and call-ins to news shows are common ways for legislators to communicate to release a hostage picture instead. “Hi this is Mitch McConnell and I just want to thank everyone for their well wishes and express my sadness at the passing of Lindsay Graham [or some other recent event].” Why do the least proof possible in the weirdest way possible unless you really don’t want to be speaking on video?

Brain deteriorates the same way as the biddy, old people shouldn’t be in the Congress.

Why we have to retire at 6x but politicians don’t? Brain and cognitive function deteriorates same way as the body.
