It turns out ole' Mitch is in a tight spot, and the GOP are doing everything they can to avoid having to run a special election to replace him, fearing that a certain Thomas Massie might decide to run.

So they're pulling out all the stops to make it sound that he's not so far gone that they're legally required to do it.

'McConnell Has Been Hospitalized for 3 Weeks, and Aides Won’t Say Why'

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/us/politics/mitch-mcconell-health-hospitalization.html

"Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the former majority leader, was hospitalized on June 14. Since then, his office has provided few updates about his condition.

The scant official statements have led to speculation around Washington and efforts to piece together information on what happened."

So shortly after MAGA influencer Laura Loomer suggested Mitch McConnell was in a vegetative state several high-ranking GOP pols claimed they had all talked to him, roughly at the same time and all talking about the same things. But not scripted at all, no Siree! And suggestions that they had communicated via an Ouija board were forcefully denied.😂

The GOP behaving like a communist cadre surrounding the fitting flesh of their leaders.

Remember Loyd Austin? Wasn't everything just much better when he and other grownups were in charge, and you didn't have to wake up every day to headlines about Stupids doing stupid s**t?

But I digress. Sec of Def failed to notify the WH for 3 days after doing some minor medical stuff and go reamed. Old Mitch has been AWOL for 3 WEEKS, and from the WH, crickets.

Nobody does hypocrisy like the Repubs.

Nobody.

The Babylon Bee has a humorous take on the situation and says...

"Nurses at Mitch McConnell's hospital bedside say they've yelled into his ears, "There's a Black president trying to fill a Supreme Court vacancy!" and he didn't stir at all."

See, you guys here seem to miss the brilliant political strategy at play.

Republicans are courting the vegan vote, having two vegetables at the top of their Party, Trump and McConnell.

Actually, giving the closeted nature of the little tweeb House Speaker, founder with his wife of the organization "Pray Away the Gay" (it hasn't worked for Mikey), they're adding fruit to the diet, too.

Any mention of a Ouija board being used?

The Republicans are losing g control of the narrative on McConnell’s absence.

Big hub-bub in Hell, awaiting his arrival. Rumor is his cellmate will be Richard III.

Got an email from an ex-gf down there: yeah, they have internet in Hell, Musk's company of course.

Mitch arrives to meet St. Peter.

"You can take a look beforehand to see whether you want to go to heaven or hell."

In heaven: fluffy clouds, ethereal music...

In hell: a party, champagne, a great atmosphere, and happy people.

St. Peter: "You can make your decision tomorrow."

The next day, Mitch says: "Heaven is nice enough, but I liked hell better."

He arrives there, and the gate opens. Everyone is wallowing in filthy mud amidst extreme heat.

"But it was completely different here yesterday, wasn't it?"

"Well, yesterday was before the election."

I think there's a plot afoot (what's afoot, Purdey? About twelve inches)

To fill the Senate with zombies. The zombie sensors would not comment on anything but approve of laws when someone raises their arm.

Isn't that how the Democrats already function?

Are you referring to the reflecting pool?

It's weekend at Mitch's time.

Before the election of the 47th:

• Fight inflation and lower the cost of living.

• End the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours

• resolve conflicts in the Middle East.

• No more wars

• Mexico pays for the wall

• A better plan for Obamacare

• A much better deal with Iran than the one he cancelled

The list is presumably incomplete.

Everything below was doing just fine before Trump got involved:
-Reflecting Pool (was not a crime scene) -Kennedy Center (was not a
MAGA event venue) -East Wing (was not a reality‑TV set) -Rose Garden
(was not a demolition project) -White House lawn (was not a campaign
stage) -USAID (was not a loyalty test) -Voice of America (was not
Pravda cosplay) -FEMA (was not a punchline) -CDC (was not bullied by
Facebook memes) -FBI (was not “the deep state” of the week) -DOJ (was
not a personal legal defense team) -NATO (was not a hostage situation)
-The Constitution (was not optional DLC) -Habeas corpus (was not a
suggestion) -U.S. relationships with: Canada (was chill) Greenland
(was not a real‑estate listing) Mexico (was not a wrestling promo)
Italy (was normal) Iran (was… surprisingly stable) And gas was
literally $3/gallon Anyone else notice useless chaos this
administration brings to everything if touches?

Odd thing to post.......He called me this am......bright as a button.

We chatted about the old times for about 20 mins.

One would have to surmise that he's in pretty bad shape and likely on the way out after weeks out of circulation. The really fun rumors are starting to swirl.

They circled the wagons after a Trump ally - influencer Laura Loomer - claimed on X that the Kentucky senator was in a "vegetative state".

The far-right activist also said McConnell "is brain dead and hooked up to machines", and alleged a "cover-up". She did not provide proof for the claims.

Loomer also criticised his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, for visiting China during McConnell's hospital stay.

The Chinese government has confirmed Chao met Chinese Vice-President Han Zheng in Beijing on 17 June, three days after McConnell was admitted to hospital.

Laura Loomer claimed on X, "High level source close to the White House tells me 'Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back.'" While McConnell has been hospitalized for weeks, no publications or White House correspondents have publicly confirmed Loomer's claim.

The answer of Patrik Howley seems quite ok.

Well, if Ron Johnson is "not sure" it's real, then we can safely assume it's not real.

""I've just heard from some other sources that was an older photo. So I really don't know," Johnson told host Eric Bolling on Real America's Voice's "Bolling!"

The Wisconsin Republican noted he has not spoken to McConnell, hopes he can recover and will "come back and vote" in line with President Trump's agenda."

AI enhanced image from the photo put out.....likely from 2020.

Dining on that third vegetable Lindsey Graham.

I hear that McConnell is sharp as a tack. Never been better. Juggles knives when the press isn't looking.

Oh, wait. That was a different guy. Before that memorable debate.

My bad...

Coming soon to your theater!
