    And his first course of action is to pass a bill giving all workers the same ability to go on a paid medical leave for as long as it takes and still have their position when they get back.

    No? Huh.

    “My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier,” McConnell said

    Just to twist the knife on how absolutely ancient this asshole is, talking about how he had a disease that we’ve had a vaccine for for 75 years.

      The problem with this "statement " is it was in writing. No one got him on camera or even video saying a goddamn word. How do we even know it is true? With deep fakes and how good AI is getting at faking said photos. We need a live feed with real life reporters asking him fucking questions.

      And still might not believe it real if I can’t see with my own eyes. Which means he should be required to go on a nationwide tour to assure us all he is really alive.

      Or just fucking die already!

    What dark, forbidden necromancy did they have to dig out of the pits of the occult to reanimate his dry-ass carcass?!

    Fuck, just let this monster lie down and quit already. At this point, it’s abuse of a corpse.

    Great to see him back! You rock Mitch!

    I personally know a bunch of people who were sick for a few months and returned to work on a wheel chair and lived very much longer than a year. Sorry, I meant I don’t know any. Except for Hawkeye, that guy got zambonied and recovered pretty good.

    Like if he gets sick this winter, he’s not going to comeback triumphant with a feeding tube. He’ll probably retire and let literally anyone else not in their deathbed lead. Right?
