If he's truly pro-life, why did he die? Curious.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Love this now only the third could be him.

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Him dying only solves part of the problem, the public face. Many more evil and actual smart people are behind the scenes that will still fuck us over.

I’ll start cheering when I see those authors of project 2025 dying off.

There’s still a few more that could go down first and help heal America… but he is the festering artery leaking lifeblood on the floor by the gallon, so…

Not to mention that some of the ones on the list are on the Supreme Court, so we’d need the senate first anyway.

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:

[–] candyman337@piefed.ca 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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.

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.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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 5 days ago

or he sucked the soul out of him.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

We were that close to saving America! /s

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

His bullshit is so brazen and obvious..."Yeah...um...I spoke to lindsey last night, it was some clock time, maybe duskish, and he said "Sir! We've gotta pass that Save America Act!"". He is such a transparent idiot.

They passed, they passed.

Away they passed.
