Mitch is back — he's alive and he's sitting up straight and smiling.

Take that, naysayers.

So, when is he going to talk? This man is still a US Senator. I think he should be able to at least say "Hello, I am mitch."

Stay tuned. Tommorrow, Mitch smiles and waves again.

I have no idea why this guy is sorrounded by bodyguards or Capital hill police. What are they afraid of? He's a lameduck Senator. Did they think Iranian agents were going to tip over his wheelchair?

Anthropogenic or Animated Intelligence?

Not what our founders wanted.

Narr said...

Get off the stage, you useless old bastard!

Leland said...

I guess he voted Aye on the Farm Bill in committee.

tommyesq said...

The look on his face reminded me of Biden. Not good.

Gusty Winds said...

FDR was in a wheelchair because of polio. His mind was still sharp, but he still had to put on a show, pretending he could walk.

This is ridiculous. Mitch, like Biden, is mentally checked out. Seriously, Mitch won't retire, and let's his staff make all decisions like Biden and Dianne Feinstein. None of them are making that decision.

It has to be voter fraud . Or we are just stupid.

Minivans for Mitch !

Aggie said...

At least he's not completely off the rails like that prick, John Cornyn, who continues to validate all of the reasons people voted against him, every day, so thoroughly that new reasons are becoming apparent all the time.

Proof of life!

Not such a great house for a super rich guy.

Christopher B said...

Nobody is as pissed about Mitch appearing in the Senate as our nepo-baby Governor.

Turing test for McConnell?

I feel sooo much better..

Joe Bar said...

Whatever happened to "Cocaine Mitch?"

Original Mike said...

McConnell is retiring, right?

If McConnell is replaced by a non traitor the SAVE act passes and the Uniparty is dead.

Only Romney/Desantis republicans ever pushed that BS.

He is getting the Hillary treatment.

Christopher B said...

Original Mike, yes. Andy Barr, Republican Congressman from KY-6 vs Charles Booker, Democrat

Deep State Reformer said...

On the brighter side McConnell's long absence might have hurt the people of Kentucky were it not for the fact that the senate has moved at the same rate.as a glacier this term, so it didn't matter that much.

FullMoon said...

Off to Biden's joint for a tennis match.

Ralph L said...

He's finally come out of his shell, and it's not pretty.

Lazarus said...

The body's not even cold yet and they're parading it around like this.

D.D. Driver said...

Couldn't he at least have given us the tiniest "thumbs up" like they do in pro football when a player is being carted off the field with a spinal cord injury?

D.D. Driver said...

Just a fucking thumbs up so we know rigor mortis hasn't kicked in. Why is that too much to fucking ask for after a goddamn three month absence?!?!

hanuman_prodigious_leaper said...

At least he was not tossed in like sack load of poop a la Hillary -- so all is good?

le Douanier said...

"If McConnell is replaced by a non traitor the SAVE act passes and the Uniparty is dead."

So the pro-DJT people (like Ach) want Mitch to die, and then Mitch will be replaced by a DJT follower that will pass the SAVE act? I have no idea how this Mitch replacement thing works in Kentucky, but I'm assuming Beshear does't get to have a say. Otherwise Ach would not be in favor of getting rid of Mitch before a vote from the pro-DJT Kentucky electorate.

Some people have turned against McConnell, but he deserves to be on Mt. Rushmore for keeping Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court.

McConnell fanboys keep bringing this up. McConnell did NOT keep Garland off the SCOTUS. He delayed the confirmation vote till after the election. Had hilllary won - Garland would be on the SCOTUS. And who voted for Garland as AG? Why Mitch the Bitch McConnell.

And who did everything he could to defeat Trump in 2016? Mitch the bitch. McConnell demanded Trump drop out in October 2016 and give the POTUS to Hillary.

McConnell delayed Garlands nomination. Trump is the one who kept him off the Court.

RCOCEAN II said...

Mitch the Bitch also went on in TV in 2017 and told republican voters to not support Roy Moore in Alabama. We gave up a Senate seat - when we had a paper thin majority. Mitch the Bitch also refused to give money to any number of tea party or conservative Senate candidates over the years, instead giving large sums to Lisa Murky in Alaska and RINO's in the Northeast (all of whom lost).

I could go on and on. But no matter what he did, the McConnell fan-boys love him. Incredibly, many of these fan-boys are not Democrats.

"In Inca civilization, deceased emperors (the Sapa Incas) were not considered truly "dead" in the Western sense. Instead, they were meticulously mummified, kept in their palaces, and treated as living, active members of royalty who continued to hold immense socio-political power

"During major religious festivals and solstices (such as Inti Raymi), the mummies of former kings were carried out of their palaces on litters and paraded through the streets of Cusco. They were seated together in the main plaza to "participate" in the celebrations."

Disney animatronics have come a long way since I last saw the presidents at Disney World. Good enough to prevent the Democratic Kentucky governor from naming a replacement.

"I feel happy..."

RCOCEAN II said...

I've seen people like McConnell in the nursing homes. The body is ok, but there's not really all there. They cant speak or think properly. Its quite sad. But definitely preferable to dying of a painful terminal illness.

Those who die suddenly and without warning are blessed by God.

RCOCEAN II said...

I mean c'mon guys. Are we really supposed to believe that Mitch is in "rehabilitation" when he hasnt said one word to the press or public in months?

He's a politician. Since this thing happened, all he's had to do is call up some reporter (Mitch loves liberal Reporters) and say "Hey, had some problems. Getting better. Will be doing what I can in the Senate. Thanks for your concern."

Instead all we get is photos of mute smiling blank faced Mitch.
Aka Zombie Mitch.
