Is Mitch dead? *desperately hopeful*

EDIT: He is not. :-(

This is his proof of life, I think it's still in question. Even MAGA are questioning it:

Can anyone verify when the newspaper he's holding is from?

There's some good info in the article from The Guardian.

McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.

People are pointing out that even in this Ai/photoshoppped pic, the left side of his face is heavily drooping and his wife is subtly holding his left arm up by the elbow, making it pretty clear that he had a severe stroke that has likely at least temporarily paralyzed the left side of his body.

Some reports are saying this is actually a slightly doctored photo from 2023 when he went to rehab then, which seems believable because he looks a decent bit younger here.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Uhhh, good catch. That looks like some gibberish.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Why does he look 25 years younger? Definitely fake. You can't make more than one deal with the devil.

My 80 year old father in law looks less droopy when he goes to the hospital and they pump him full of fluids. I think the fluid smooths out the wrinkles.

Oh, no, Mitch isn't some contractor. He's a regular employee.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

EDIT: He is not. :-(

Prove it.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I made the meme before I saw the news about him being alive and in rehab. What a wild ride the past month has been.

Graham dies without wearing and suddenly Mitch is recovering?

I'm sticking with my theory that Mitch went to hell and cut a deal to let Graham take his place.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

or he sucked the soul out of him.
