They needed to "Weekend at Bernie's" him for that one bill, then it's back to bed.
Doubt we'll see him again until there's another deadlock they need him to break.

That his handlers apparently do not allow Sen McConnell to speak on mic is quite telling.

Have they posted his image at Walmart yet? We need crowdsourcing.

Rolling an incoherent McConnell out like the 99-year-old patriarch at a family reunion is a terrible look into the GOP.

He can't function.

"What day is it, Senator?"

"Aghhhhbbl"

I'm not sure if it was AI or not, but the video I saw looked like they secured him to a wheel chair, taped his eyes open and taped his mouth into a smile.

He looked like a vegetable. the GOP is grotesque.

I agree with you, but you morons had no problem with them holding Daine Feinstein's hand while she voted, then died 12 hours later.

I seem to recall many here holding the position that she should have vacated her seat.

Myself included.

Ooohhh, what a clever retort. Cole Porter himself could only dream of being so witty and clever. Your mother must be very proud.

@#10 ... STFU, ------. ...

Ooooh, that's gonna leave a mark.

But, returning to reality...

That is the best response your current alias has?

Asked differently, did your current alias really want to blatantly announce that it has not a clue about which it posts?

This is no big deal. Mitch is only somewhat dead.

I am reminded of Strom Thurmond.

LOL I'm sorry you only ever remember the bulls*&^ Fox feeds you.

You'd do well to pay attention to people around you, not what you're told people around you think or feel.
