From what I can tell, this video was taken as they arrived to transport him, then later another one was taken when he was actually brought out of the house and put into the limo. Then more video was taken of him being wheeled around in the safe space Senate Chamber, but out in the hallway, only photos were allowed to be taken, no video.

So my guess is, he's non-verbal and they're going to wheel him around and help him push the right button to vote when they need his vote on something. So far I haven't seen -- more importantly heard any footage of him actually speaking. In the video I linked with him being wheeled out, he doesn't speak but does a "thumbs up" once, and in the car we see he has a blank expression and mindless grin.

Our next president.

So they really did the weekend at bernies routine?

I still think he's dead.

Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

And the press, being completely controlled by the government offered absolutely NO pushback to this. Freedom of the press? An well informed public? "Most transparent government"? Buncha bullshit. You will only hear what the party wants you to hear.

They're finally going to do something?

Actually shocked over here.

Please tell me that this is in response to a wellness check that someone called in when he didn't show up.

Must be nice have 3 months paid vacation from work.

Because necromancy is illegal? Because it's illegal right?

Word has it A malicious acorn was found to have bounced so may times off the roof and gutter, then onto a secret service car roof that the loan Secret Service Agent on duty was positive they were being invaded. He called and said bring everything you've got! They said please repeat and he shouted EVERYTHING!

Get that turtle!

I imagine its time to pretend he just now died. They will have thawed the corpse and put makeup on it for the photo shoot of him being wheeled to the corpse van. I bet they leave his face uncovered for that.

Apnews is reporting as of 20 minutes ago that he has returned to the Senate. https://apnews.com/article/mitch-mcconnell-senate-return-abe03e84e30a174da4076385692b5751

Again, wtf is going on? CNN posted this: https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/14/politics/mitch-mcconnell-senate-return-health

Is that completely fabricated in AI?

Just in time to make all hemp users into felons.

Are we finally going to get some god damn answers?

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The spell that was cast on Lindsey Graham is finally paying up dividends. Slow acting spell, that one...

I still think he's dead.

Holy shit, he's actually alive!

turtle with popcorn, subtly vibrating with excitement

They're going to wheel his corpse onto the Senate floor and have someone push the button for his vote.

Already did once, apparently.
