Graham's corpse isn't even cold yet and they're already foaming at the mouth over who will run to replace him. Also crazy that our senators are so old that we need proof of life statements. VOTE.
Seems Repubs are taking the final dive earlier than Dems. - Lindsey was just 71. Mitch at 84 got his 4 score and 3 or 4, so that’s not bad. Nancy’s still working all the time at 86. Biden’s 83, Hillary, 79; Bill, 81, all still making appearances. They haven’t hardened their arteries or their hearts, it appears.
Is it fair for a senior society to decide what the next generation needs to begin to make differences in. There should be an age limit on serving for Congress /President/ Supreme Court
I write this at 74 years old. We are limited. No matter what they say.
I say the same thing all the time!! Why do 70-80 year olds think they make the best decisions for people 30-40 years younger. I am past 70 too... and you don't see me hanging on to my old career. When you are my age, you are in the final chapter of your life. Yes I might live another 10-20 years, it's possible. But life looks different to a 70 year old than it does to a 35 year old. I want to see Elissa Slotkin, Reuben Gallego, Pete Buttigieg-types in the drivers seat.
For president I want them out by the time they’re 80 tops, which means 72 should be the oldest for their first run. Now for the House of Reps, they’re up every 2 years, and they’re from districts, so their constituency should make that choice. Pelosi’s my representative, and still doing great work, but she retires this midterm. If she’d lost it she would have been out before now. Senators, they’re in for 6 years, so 72 should be the top age for their last run.
Eighty is a number by which minds generally slow down. That’s not good when thinking, sifting facts, laws, etc., are essential to do the job well and in a timely fashion. Old justices may be wise, but keeping up the pace limits how much work they can do. The youngest may not be the best, take Gorsuch and Kavanaugh (please!), but they’re better than the geezers at the other end who opinionate rather than think. RBG of course didn’t lose her brains, but possibly her judgment was not what it used to be.
Unbelievable! But Texas! Go Talarico! Don’t elect this adulterer, money grubbing, lieing, cheating pos! Then get rid of cruz! Bring Texas into the current century!!!
Now you have me wondering.I have certainly loved some of the older judges in the past, but society is changing so rapidly and we let AI decide and explain to us so many things - Will AI eventually replace the swayed human chosen to please a President? That might not be a bad idea.
Carrying around all that hate, lies, and bigotry is a heavy load. Their body, heart and mind just wears out faster than democrats who do not have that burden. Laughter, joy, truth and friendships are all much more important as we age.
It is great. I think military officers have something like it. Yes, we all should. - Anyway, Graham and Mitch had that care, too. Too many steaks, not enough joie de vivre, perhaps.
Noted. But the causes of those maladies are heritable many times. EDS and other maladies predispose to the aortic breakdown that caused Graham's demise. Also, what was written off as a "heart attack" when his father died could have actually been a similar thing. I remember that lots of associated conditions were referred to as "heart attacks." It's circulatory in any case.
Absolutely no one, including me. If you read carefully, I said that a number of heritable maladies predispose. (I had a medical board license for almost forty years.)
How aboutvadding Grassley 94 and Collins 80+ and trump 80. There are MANY coming up on 80 in both parties so why did you only point out the democrats????? 65 years old should require mandatory retirement before age 66 is reached!!!! Enoughnof these people who remain in our past and vote blue for you and your family and your friends and your country and for democracy and the constitution and our freedoms to survive !
Republicans should have to retire by age 68. Democrats should have to retire by age 80. Republican have lied so much by 65 that their minds are totally twisted up and barely able to perform the needs of their own bodies.
Kinda like me playing old vinyl record with scratches on it, irritating to listen to and jumps back and starts over again.
Call any member of house or Senate. They should be getting back to DC after another vacation!!!! Don’t feel like they are actually doing anything to help the people or country in a better way.
Blanche has no fing business as AG!!! N the fing save act needs to be dead n buried. trump needs a mental test. He is not mentally fit for office!!!
Mea culpa- so how can you determine the newspaper is from June 11,2026 was my question- just because his wife is in the room doesn’t mean it was taken on that day-
The picture of McConnell and wife is obviously AI. The lighting is wrong and the focus is off. He hasn't looked that alive in years. It's an old picture. Also, if he's been in the hospital for a month he'd look MUCH different. Fake fake fake
He's dead. Just crazy that we live in a country where's there's so little transparency that the most important senator of the last 20 years is dead and we don't get to see, but that's where we are. Banana republic central.
Oh please yourself. He had to raise his sister when his parents died and he was 18. Maybe after that he decided he didn’t want any more responsibility. Men and women can be single and that doesn’t mean they’re gay. Don’t group people into boxes and black/white scenarios. Why is it important to know, why do you care and why is it your business?
Graham was in a position to do (and did) untold harm to gay people. He hid in the closet and helped to formulate and pass anti-gay legislation while having and hiding a secret life where he was shielded from any consequence.
Me, I don't care who does what with whom. But when you use your power and position to harm others, then it becomes important.
Graham was a hypocrite with power. He refused to be who he was and he hurt others in the process.
You’re reight an apologies too my gay and LGBTQ friends for putting them in the same sentence as Lindsey Graham. I should have just said he’s a shapeshifter of enormous proportions who personally has doe more damage to this country than almost anyone. You can look that up since ,I am not going to waste my time with the list.
Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) is self-described as an organization of LGBT members of the Republican Party and straight allies who work to increase inclusion … to name but a few. MAGA is in the minority of Republicans.
It's like the pic they've been posting recently of him in a wheelchair with thumbs up. Why would he be in a suit in a hospital? Same story with this pic.
If he's doing so well, why isn't he doing what they asked and facetime so they can acknowledge how well he's doing?
AI is so good these days I would not doubt this is doctored.
no, i was in a rehab center for over two weeks with two broken ankles. they made me wear a gown during that time to make it easier for them to take blood pressure etc.
But they don't, so no. I guess they accept the status quo.
If a governor and a senator from the same state can't definitively prove that one of them is alive or dead, then they're both working for the same party.
McConnell isn't alive. there needs to be a rule that senators and representatives need to be present on the capital building at least once a month or forfeit the seat. period
The Kentucky lege changed the law. The governor is powerless to do anything, in the event of a vacancy. Before 8/3, a special election gets called. After 8/3, there's a wait until the November election to fill the seat.
Total BS Graham’s mind was on his trip to Ukraine. The last thing he’d be thinking about is Trump’s bill. Most likely the first thing. Trump thought of when he heard the news read how can I use this to my benefit.
When you have someone with no empathy, you expect the worst, and of course the felon said he has someone he'd like to replace him but isn't going to name that person right now, or something to that effect. And he didn't want the flags at half staff after President Carter died-no, they had to be all the way up on his special day. Scum.
Everyone, please call your Senators and urge they pass the House bill giving Haitians and Syrians an extension of Temporary Protective Status. It is good for these refugees, good for the communities, good for the people who depend on health care workers from these countries, and good for the United States to not pretend that these dangerous places are not.
Seems to me (but what do I know?) if Mitch was really in extremis, the ambulance would have been using lights and sirens. By all accounts, it just drove away.
The delay is that they do not want Andy Beshear to call a special election. If they can hide him until 8/3, they will achieve this. Beshear needs to go to the hospital and demand an audience with mcconnell. I do not buy what any of MSM is selling. They have been lying to the public for years and I do not believe they have stopped now.
First of all, this is not a current picture of MM with his wife; she flew to China. Secondly, if it had been a simple FALL, they would have said so 3 WEEKS AGO. All lies from the pathological MAGA LIARS.
Graham's corpse isn't even cold yet and they're already foaming at the mouth over who will run to replace him. Also crazy that our senators are so old that we need proof of life statements. VOTE.

Yes. To many older people,
that aren’t aware of what is going on!
Unbelievable!!
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/14/kay-granger-dementia-dc-media-00210317
Unbelievable! But Texas! Go Talarico! Don’t elect this adulterer, money grubbing, lieing, cheating pos! Then get rid of cruz! Bring Texas into the current century!!!
Very reasonable. How do you feel about judges on the Supreme Court? Any thoughts?
Now you have me wondering.I have certainly loved some of the older judges in the past, but society is changing so rapidly and we let AI decide and explain to us so many things - Will AI eventually replace the swayed human chosen to please a President? That might not be a bad idea.
Not many good thoughts for some?
Carrying around all that hate, lies, and bigotry is a heavy load. Their body, heart and mind just wears out faster than democrats who do not have that burden. Laughter, joy, truth and friendships are all much more important as we age.
Yeah team! ('-')
It's that excellent healthcare the rest of us don't have access to.
It is great. I think military officers have something like it. Yes, we all should. - Anyway, Graham and Mitch had that care, too. Too many steaks, not enough joie de vivre, perhaps.
Too much lying and scheming beats their privileged healthcare.
Graham's father died at 68 from a heart attack. Just months after his mother. Some lineages just aren't as long-lived.
Heart attacks and aneurisms aren’t the same
Noted. But the causes of those maladies are heritable many times. EDS and other maladies predispose to the aortic breakdown that caused Graham's demise. Also, what was written off as a "heart attack" when his father died could have actually been a similar thing. I remember that lots of associated conditions were referred to as "heart attacks." It's circulatory in any case.
Sorry to call you again but whoever said Lindsey Graham had EDS????
Absolutely no one, including me. If you read carefully, I said that a number of heritable maladies predispose. (I had a medical board license for almost forty years.)
And I just read that because of polio as a child, he has had an upper left leg problem. That might be partly why he falls so much? Just guessing.
Who had polio?
Thanks for calling me out on that. I was referring to McConnell. In the wrong place. (Long day)
Graham died 😢 a crook like the rest of Trump administration! God have is ways. Let's all pray 🙏
They should not let another pedo through plus that guys just corrupt as all hell too.
How aboutvadding Grassley 94 and Collins 80+ and trump 80. There are MANY coming up on 80 in both parties so why did you only point out the democrats????? 65 years old should require mandatory retirement before age 66 is reached!!!! Enoughnof these people who remain in our past and vote blue for you and your family and your friends and your country and for democracy and the constitution and our freedoms to survive !
👍💪🫂🫂🫂💪👍
Their thinking seems to be more messed up. Trump’s always was, of course. Their voters don’t seem to care a whole lot.
Republicans should have to retire by age 68. Democrats should have to retire by age 80. Republican have lied so much by 65 that their minds are totally twisted up and barely able to perform the needs of their own bodies.
Kinda like me playing old vinyl record with scratches on it, irritating to listen to and jumps back and starts over again.
The mysterious case of the missing hand
That proof of life photo is a bad joke.Clearly photoshopped photo taken several years ago, as Mcturtle is visibly more youthful
I feel like there are beams of light breaking through the clouds.
They should not let another pedo through plus that guys just corrupt as all hell too.
That pic of McConnell was from.2023 and AI the background
Amen!!!
I beg to differ. His corpse was cold when he was alive.
That’s sooo true!!
Funny as hell abput that machinr gun clip!
Im thinking that’s AI
Aaron says it isn't.
Right! How do you say Keystone Cops or Three Stooges in Russian? 🤔
I couldn't stop laughing lol!! OMG...
Yep, the vultures are circling!
202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121
Call any member of house or Senate. They should be getting back to DC after another vacation!!!! Don’t feel like they are actually doing anything to help the people or country in a better way.
Blanche has no fing business as AG!!! N the fing save act needs to be dead n buried. trump needs a mental test. He is not mentally fit for office!!!
Start calling!!!
So 'old'? or, so sick?
We need that before they campaign by means of an INDEPENDENTLY run intelligence test.
Ralph Norman. Bet on it.
They have to there's deadlines
I'm still recovering after watching the machine gun incident 😬
with AI, and the republican desperation, the picture doesn mean shit!
isnt his wife in China?
sketchy af!
That's not a current picture. It can't be. I don't think he can even smile like that.
Agreed. His last TIA took away his ability to smile evenly.
God is very angry at Republicans. She is finished with their lyin’ eyes.
God is very angry at Republicans. She is finished with their lyin’ eyes.
It’s from June 11, 2026.
According to who?
The newspaper in his hand. Plus, his wife is in China.
And it’s “whom.”
Mea culpa- so how can you determine the newspaper is from June 11,2026 was my question- just because his wife is in the room doesn’t mean it was taken on that day-
The picture of McConnell and wife is obviously AI. The lighting is wrong and the focus is off. He hasn't looked that alive in years. It's an old picture. Also, if he's been in the hospital for a month he'd look MUCH different. Fake fake fake
If you look at the picture of his hand on the newspaper, the newspaper looks like it’s melting around his finger.
That did look weird to me, too.
It wouldn't be dressed in cities if he was in the hospital
There have been reports that she had already returned.
Reports from the same corrupt liars? NONE of them can be trusted about ANYTHING.
I agree. If he was relatively able we would have heard from him personally. I do not believe their story.
He's wearing jeans and a checked shirt. Not a recent hospital pic.
That’s what it says! When was this pic taken??
He's dead. Just crazy that we live in a country where's there's so little transparency that the most important senator of the last 20 years is dead and we don't get to see, but that's where we are. Banana republic central.
I agree. AI could have created the photo. And why wait so long with so much pressure to show any proof of life or comment from his staff? Fishy.
My thoughts, as well!
She's probably got a gun to his back..
Why does no one want to say Graham was gay?
How do you know he was? Just because he didn’t marry doesn’t mean he was gay.
Oh, please.
Oh please yourself. He had to raise his sister when his parents died and he was 18. Maybe after that he decided he didn’t want any more responsibility. Men and women can be single and that doesn’t mean they’re gay. Don’t group people into boxes and black/white scenarios. Why is it important to know, why do you care and why is it your business?
Here's why I care.
Graham was in a position to do (and did) untold harm to gay people. He hid in the closet and helped to formulate and pass anti-gay legislation while having and hiding a secret life where he was shielded from any consequence.
Me, I don't care who does what with whom. But when you use your power and position to harm others, then it becomes important.
Graham was a hypocrite with power. He refused to be who he was and he hurt others in the process.
he was gay. everyone in Washington knew it.
You’re reight an apologies too my gay and LGBTQ friends for putting them in the same sentence as Lindsey Graham. I should have just said he’s a shapeshifter of enormous proportions who personally has doe more damage to this country than almost anyone. You can look that up since ,I am not going to waste my time with the list.
Oh please what? We’re waiting for an intelligent rebuttal.
Cuz MAGA hates gay people, and why on earth would gay people claim that disgusting reptile?
Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) is self-described as an organization of LGBT members of the Republican Party and straight allies who work to increase inclusion … to name but a few. MAGA is in the minority of Republicans.
There is no way this is McConnell today. Maybe a year ago. Not today. This is an epic coverup. Full stop.
Exactly. If he’s in the hospital, why the fuck is he wearing a dress shirt and blue jeans? Seriously?
It's like the pic they've been posting recently of him in a wheelchair with thumbs up. Why would he be in a suit in a hospital? Same story with this pic.
If he's doing so well, why isn't he doing what they asked and facetime so they can acknowledge how well he's doing?
AI is so good these days I would not doubt this is doctored.
The text says he is (allegedly) in a rehabilitation center. You wear street clothes in a rehab center.
no, i was in a rehab center for over two weeks with two broken ankles. they made me wear a gown during that time to make it easier for them to take blood pressure etc.
Maybe in some rehabs they do and in some they don't. Did that ever occur to you?
That sounds awful. But typically, if rehab patients are able to walk around, they wear regular clothes, ir sweats, during the day.
Street clothes in bed? Jeans in bed?
In the "photo" McConnell is sitting in a chair not a bed.
I can't see the date on that newspaper. Looks like MLB? on the front page?
Plus, didn't Aaron just write that his wife is still in China?
Definitely taken years ago and poorly mashed up with Photoshop. It has been verified to be Ai stamped.
He's holding a newspaper from July 13th, 2024
Actually the baseball news story is current. The photo of the player was taken in 2024 I think
Andy Beshear needs to go to DC and see WTF is going on with Mitch. Letters don’t cut it.
And no one could say that before now??? Had to wait for Graham to die before they issue a statement????
Aaaah, yes. The reassurance all "good" goobers needed.
Looks like he is well enough for visitors!
WAPO just posted Mitch is alive. Had a fall, went to hospital, developed pneumonia, is heading to rehab facility.
Who runs WaPo now?
Bezos, but NYTimes just posted a the same information
if so they need to stream live from his rehab facility or do an over the phone interview on a reputable news outlet. Not buying it.
We should get to watch his PT in real time. Grim freaking Reaper.
If the Democratic party cared, they would.
But they don't, so no. I guess they accept the status quo.
If a governor and a senator from the same state can't definitively prove that one of them is alive or dead, then they're both working for the same party.
And they basically are.
Great idea!
McConnell isn't alive. there needs to be a rule that senators and representatives need to be present on the capital building at least once a month or forfeit the seat. period
Beshear needs to hold a special election. If Republicans balk—cool. Proof of life, or shut up.
The Kentucky lege changed the law. The governor is powerless to do anything, in the event of a vacancy. Before 8/3, a special election gets called. After 8/3, there's a wait until the November election to fill the seat.
Yep. They changed everything the first time the turtle looked mortal. Always thinking ahead, those Republicans.
Very different than their opposition.
Total BS Graham’s mind was on his trip to Ukraine. The last thing he’d be thinking about is Trump’s bill. Most likely the first thing. Trump thought of when he heard the news read how can I use this to my benefit.
When you have someone with no empathy, you expect the worst, and of course the felon said he has someone he'd like to replace him but isn't going to name that person right now, or something to that effect. And he didn't want the flags at half staff after President Carter died-no, they had to be all the way up on his special day. Scum.
I don't believe that Trump should have had the final say about the flags, even tho' president. That's obscene.
Diaper Don always makes EVERYTHING about him & is always scheming ways to benefit himself
Spot on.
Did trump sounds bit weird when talking about the phone call? Like he had a mouth full of mush or something?
Andy Beshear should already be in DC! Kentuckians and America should be beyond out of patience - this is blatant voter interference.
Second , I fear for our military- Major Watson was absolutely correct.
Everyone, please call your Senators and urge they pass the House bill giving Haitians and Syrians an extension of Temporary Protective Status. It is good for these refugees, good for the communities, good for the people who depend on health care workers from these countries, and good for the United States to not pretend that these dangerous places are not.
Since we have two less Republican votes right now.
Anyone else see the slow walk when the ambulance came to get Mitch?
Seems to me (but what do I know?) if Mitch was really in extremis, the ambulance would have been using lights and sirens. By all accounts, it just drove away.
Draw your own conclusions.
The photo released by McConnell's office does not alleviate my concerns about whether he is capable of doing his job as a Senator.
The photo looks unreal.
Shades of Weekend at Bernies"!
So many realistic AI photos around these days
its fake/old photo.
Looks like this is gonna be a battle of the aged.
What is Mitch McConnells proof of life? I doubt. They have it….Thune is stalling…why is the big question??
The delay is that they do not want Andy Beshear to call a special election. If they can hide him until 8/3, they will achieve this. Beshear needs to go to the hospital and demand an audience with mcconnell. I do not buy what any of MSM is selling. They have been lying to the public for years and I do not believe they have stopped now.
Have him hold up a newspaper showing the date, like they do with kidnappings!!
To easy to AI without movement and speech. If he made all of those phone calls, then he can give a proof of life video which can then be verified.
Look at the scalloped edges of the Texas A&M players image on the newspaper. A search says this is the result of photoshop
To avoid the democratic Governor from replacing him. If he is gone after Aug 3, the spot stays open until Nov. elections.
First of all, this is not a current picture of MM with his wife; she flew to China. Secondly, if it had been a simple FALL, they would have said so 3 WEEKS AGO. All lies from the pathological MAGA LIARS.
Why would he need CPR if it was just a fall?
And WaPo???
She came back from China.
Gee. McConnell looks so much better than he did before his hospitalization!
I thought so too. LOL
