Reporters and photographers were told by Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

From the AP article

Something is fucked for sure with this and they are all covering it up

Video would make his unresponsive condition apparent.

He’s being kept alive.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

“My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier,” McConnell said

He's old enough to have had polio.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago

Well. He’s certainly not young enough to have had polio.

He heard a vote about paid sick leave was presented, and so had to come in and vote against.

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 41 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The only thing that makes sense to me is he's completely unable to speak. Other than that, no idea why everything would have unfolded the way it did and is.

Edit: He's talking too. Something stinks. Not saying it's not him, but there's something being hidden for sure.

[-] dregan@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

It took some time for the dark magic absorbed through the ritual sacrifice of Lindsey Graham to fully restore Mitch to a shadow of his living self.

[-] nullify3112@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Every ladybug contained the essence of one youth. One young male, kept on Lindsey Graham’s body. Lindsey was the unholy vessel of the philosopher’s kidney stones. A host like no other. They had to use every single ladybug on Mitch. It wasn’t enough…

Are we sure it’s not a clone of Mitch, or a ghola perhaps.

They took only three months to finalize the clone? I'm impressed!

Some one brought something up when I shared to discord;

he's a millionaire, why is he riding around in a Travel Wheelchair? (cheapest, least comfortable option, usually only used when travelling for the fact that it can be collapsed quite small for car journeys)
