The only thing Old Man McConnell has to do is just have like 6 or so journalists show up individually for like 10 minute interviews.

Instead we are getting these awkward proof of life photos.

Or just have like 6 feet or so of dirt between us. That would also be conclusive.

Only because the geriatric fucks in Congress haven’t figured out how to prop up a vegetable in a way that carries any legal authority.

"And when he updates, he doesn't seem to be living."

“I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders,” McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.

What's a "statement?" Just written words somebody claims are from him? It doesn't fucking count unless it's in person in front of legitimate trustworthy journalists.

Isn't that the exact same photo as last time, but they've photoshopped a different shirt colour?

No, in the previous one they had him feebly pinching a newspaper and it was more obvious that his wife was stopping him from falling over. Same half-vacant, placid expression, though.

He'll be like this until the beginning of next month, where a sharp decline will lead to his "unfortunate" passing. So tragic, not predictable at all.
