All that bruising could be from that. Or maybe someone beat the shit out of him. Or maybe.....never mind, too dark for this forum.

Instead, McConnell is waving it away that it's no concern to him or, by extension, anyone else. La-de-da, la-de-da.

Now, imagine Nancy Pelosi comes out for a press availability looking like she'd just gone three rounds in hand-to-hand combat with an industrial mixer and dismissed any inquiries as of no concern. Fox would be in hysterics. Every right wing knucklehead with access to a microphone would be shrieking about bruisegate or whatever stupid name they could come up with. It would be on a nonstop loop for days if not weeks on end. For McConnell? Oh, "no concerns," all right. On to the next thing.

My bet is that he’s got an active case of Covid affecting his bloodstream, but won’t tell us because that will knock off his timing for a Supreme Court vote

Showing the Turtle and Lindsey coming after Trump spouting "Brains, must have brains" with Trump saying, "Don't look at me!" with a caption of "Yet another Trump disappointment"

It sure looks like he got the snot beat out of him. It doesn't look like the results of a fall to me.

Sure looks that way. Turtles can't survive without their Shell. Or their Exxon.

McGrath should jump on it, expressing grave concern, of course.

said she is an infusion nurse and has never, even in the elderly on coumadin, seen someone that bad. That doesn’t mean it’s not the case, but sounds unusual, the severity.

The slogan should be: Don't Die with Mitch. A vote for McGrath is a vote for a live senator.
