Mystery surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell’s health is deepening as the US Congress prepares to return from recess next week.

McConnell, 84, has not been seen in public since he was admitted to hospital in the Washington area on 14 June. Nearly a month later, the Kentucky Republican’s office has released only sparse updates, saying he is “continuing to improve” and remains engaged with Senate business, while refusing to disclose the nature of his illness or explain why he remains hospitalised.

      Hard no. The cons don’t need an excuse to concoct conspiracy theories and engage in violence toward anyone they consider the other.

      Besides, he was supposedly admitted to a Washington area hospital.

        George Washington University Hospital. I agree that visiting the house is pointless, but at this point who the fuck cares about the cons.

        Americans NEED confirmation before August 3rd. If there is a slimer of hope for a democratic majority in the Senate before the elections, it might just be the quick fix that’ll end this administration’s constant self-sabotage.

        All you need is visual confirmation. Yet no one has done it yet.

        Somebody needs to witness this fucker.
