On Thursday, McConnell’s office told Newsweek via email, “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
Translation:
On Thursday, McConnell’s office told Newsweek via email, “[We believe that] Senator McConnell [would, if he were conscious and aware,] appreciate the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve [not be dead, technically], and is working closely with his [ICU medical] staff on Kentucky and Senate [respiration] matters while the Senate [brain] is out of session.”
Aaaaaaaand … Trump just dumped on the whole tournament and put the US team in a worse position than they already were with the bad red card call. If they win now, the win is tainted by controversy and the corrupt stain of Shitfinger. The only way for the team to save face would be to keep him off the field for the game anyway, which would also piss people off. It’s a lose-lose situation and will probably impact the team’s play as well.
