Wouldn't trust Loomer, but the reporter broke the original hospital story. They have credibility there.

The mainstream media is being very careful with this. Shows how closely McConnell's people are playing it.

There has been talk of an August 3rd deadline in Kentucky election laws, though I'm not versed and seen conflicting accounts. Maybe worried they would lose a special election so they are waiting to pull the plug until after it passes.

Would be a fitting end for McConnell's last days to be used in a cheap political trick to ensure his party remains in power. He dies like he lived.

Staying on life support to block a political opponent from a chance to govern seems like the most Mitch McConnell way to go out.

He dies as he lived, subverting democracy.

I enjoyed an unusual summer storm that swept through central Texas this evening. The clouds were majestic, and it’s beauty that Mitch will never enjoy, ever again.

The bell tolls for no one.

I was really hoping him falling down the senate stairs because of his little polio leg woulda done him in. I would've never stopped laughing
