US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
As a foreigner, the whole infighting in the Dems about the “radical left” is just so fucking stupid.
The “radical left” is just a fairly mellow social democracy candidate.
Looking at the political spectrum, the stupidest part of the Dems, is the group of “compromisers”, who are compromising with the Republicans.
They are a group of people standing next to a massive group of violent fascists, shaking and screaming their heads of at a small group of friendly people building a library 100 miles away, telling them to go away.
It’s because politics are dominated by the priorities of the wealthy. It’s by design. Successful candidates of the people are a literal political rebellion against the way the system is supposed to work, at least according to those in power.
