    I've been seeing photos of the "proof of life" photo compared with one from a few years back that seem to be a perfect match with questionable photo shop questions - with more youthful appearance than recent photos and and same pose and creases in the shirt... Anyone else seeing those? Wondering why media is sooo willing to believe serial liars..

    @Rontuner I've also seen those stories and have read several fact checking site that rebut them, including this one from Politifact:

      The thing is, no one in their right mind is going to go mum for a whole month due to a fall and pneumonia. What's the big deal that they couldn't have said so even a whole week after the event? It does not add up.

        @Bernard Oh, I totally agree with you on the McConnell situation, the radio silence for a month . We're definitely not getting the whole story.

        As for the photo, I could see it being a real photo of him, not something that's doctored. I'll take it as proof of life, but not proof of competence. The guy in the photo could just be an empty shell. What I want to see is him talking to people in person.

          Still nothing but heresay. I think there's a strong likelihood he has died, like a month ago, and news of this will come out just after the special election cutoff date in early August. We know what scum these people are and doing something like this would be right up their alley. Odd that some people say they've spoken to McConnell but somehow Governor Beshear can't get a peep out of him. Odd indeed.

            Weird he can talk on the phone for 20 minutes but not call a reporter or record a video thanking his many fans for their concern.

                So another photo came out today. Real or fake? Who knows. If he's alive he may well be incapacitated, unable to ever fulfilling his job duties. Again, I don't expect the truth to come out until later next week at the soonest. It's all been much too secretive.

                  Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called on Monday for Sen. Mitch McConnell to either "verbally" show proof to Kentuckians that he can still serve in the Senate or to resign from Congress.

                  "Important events are happening in our country right now during your absence," Beshear, a Democrat, wrote in a letter to the Republican senator, according to a copy obtained by ABC News.

                    Saw this on a NY times digest:
                    Senator Mitch McConnell extended his Senate leave, saying he was not “medically cleared” to return after six weeks of hospitalization.

                    So you talked with him? Or is this just sloppy reporting accepting some printed copy?

                    jeez.

                      Welcome to America, where you’re never quite sure if your senator is dead or not

                        At least give him that cognitive test that Trump always says he aces.
