US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
Photos mean precisely fuck-all in today’s world, unfortunately.
Agreed I honestly think it might be AI there’s something weird about it to me but I don’t wanna say it too loud. I’ll wait until he’s on video, alive. Until then I believe he’ll be dead by August 5th
Note that thanks to AI upscaling, real photos end up looking a bit AI even right in the phone, particularly if you ‘digital zoom’ hard enough.
Realistically, who lays in a hospital bed after being there for weeks for testing and observation, wearing a dress shirt and jeans?
I thought they said he was in rehab which would make sense.
Except then I’d expect to see a video of him talking, assuming he still can.
I’m not saying there is no reason to continue questioning whether he is fit for office, but that is a hospital chair, not a bed.
Wow good point honestly
He’s always looked like that
Lol I mean it’s more like the lighting, the lack of visible hands, the lack of visible anything. It’s just a bland picture of a smiling turtle. It feels weird to me.
But also he always looked like that and Charlie Kirk’s neck just did that as well.
