McConnell Disappears Again…

Mitch McConnell is gone. And I'm not just talking up here, because that is obvious. The man can't answer questions. He can't respond to statements. All that Mitch McConnell does since he has returned has been this. That's it. But when I say Mitch McConnell is gone, I mean he is literally missing once again. Mitch McConnell has come back from his leave of absence, his stint in purgatory, just to disappear once again. And why wouldn't Mitch McConnell disappear once again? His staff are in charge, not him. He doesn't need to be in the public. He doesn't want to be in the public. They don't want him in the public eye. Because if he was, the corruption taking place would be exposed, which is why I want to talk about Mitch McConnell. And not just McConnell, who is dead in all the ways that matter and alive in none of the ways that do, but I also want to talk about another fatal and deadly scandal out of this Trump administration later in the video, so do stick around for that. But I just have to say, the lack of accountability for the McConnell staff during this entire saga has been absolutely sickening. The fact that they are parading him around right now, and Republicans are pretending that this is a competent individual, someone who is being instructed on how to vote, it's laughable. It is ridiculous. Mitch McConnell is a puppet of the very same people he has always been a puppet of. That is the establishment, that is the corporate class, that is the Republican Party. Now, he was the puppet master at one point, but Mitch McConnell is a vessel for evil. And now that vessel is empty, sure, but he's still carrying out the evil. And it should be called out, because he is not a senator. The people of Kentucky have a constitutional right to have a senator. Well, two of them. One of them is crazy, although, you know, Rand Paul does some okay stuff every now and then. But Mitch McConnell is literally not alive. This is voter fraud, the type that Republicans talk about, and it is why I want to talk about the fact that Mitch, once again, is missing. McConnell, 84, goes missing again after Senate return. The Kentucky senator's first week back after 92 days away has raised concerns. Senator Mitch McConnell made it through his first week back on Capitol Hill after a three-month, two-month absence, during which his team largely kept him from being seen or speaking at all, especially on camera. On Thursday, the 84-year-old senator was spotted being loaded into an SUV for a trip to the Hill, where he participated in one vote, but did not stick around for the other two more that afternoon. And he wasn't spotted. He was not spotted inside the Senate or on his short journey home amid continuing health concerns. McConnell voted yay. On a procedural vote to move forward with a bipartisan bill regulating college sports. But video of the Senate floor did not capture the Kentucky senator, as his name was said, and the vote recorded. Plenty of other senators also did not appear on camera as they voted that afternoon. Now, this is something that I have said I knew was going to happen. They would have him record all of his votes off of the Senate floor because he's not alive. McConnell did not participate in the next two votes on Thursday afternoon. He was one of four senators who did not vote on a procedural vote Thursday afternoon and one of six who did not vote to confirm a district judge that day. Since McConnell made his first public appearances this week after being hospitalized on June 14th, there has been a series of moments that have raised further questions about his health. On Monday, he delivered a brief statement outside the Senate chamber upon his return, but it took place in a part of the U.S. Capitol where, "Reporters are not allowed to take video. Huh. So interesting. Must have been a coincidence." And also, it's funny that this is a rule McConnell implemented himself. As a chair of the Senate Rules Committee, he did not take any questions, of course, because he's unable to respond to them. Beyond the statement, which we don't even really know if it was a statement, he has not spoken to reporters during the brief moments he's been seen leaving his home, arriving outside his Senate office building, or being wheeled to the hall of fame. Instead, he's kept the same smile plastered on his face and alternated between a thumbs-up and a peace sign. During a Senate Agriculture Committee meeting on Wednesday, McConnell appeared confused when he was called on for his vote to advance the Farm Bill. His name had to be said twice as his aides and Republicans urged him to vote "I" before he lifted his finger and said in a raspy voice, "I." Mitch McConnell is dead in all the ways that matter. And alive in none of the ways that do. That is a fact. That is an absolute fact of the circumstances that we are observing right now. Mitch McConnell is wholly and fully out of it. Maybe there are brief moments in which he can perform the act of being a living human being. I do not see it. I don't. And nobody has. And that is very intentional. Nobody has actually seen that happen. It's not on camera. It's not with reporters. And so how are we going to trust this? How are we going to trust the fact that Mitch McConnell can do his job? Because he can't do his job and he's not doing his job. And I thought it was pretty funny that Mitch McConnell on that Farm Bill vote, Farm Bill, not the app, Farm Bill vote, instinctively voted no. Because that's what he does. Mitch McConnell is opposition. That is what is in his blood, coursing through it. Right? It's his last breath. His last word will be no. I wouldn't be surprised if his first word was no. A word he probably said, what, 250 years ago? Is that when McConnell was born? But this is not a real voting senator. And this is voter fraud. If Republicans want to tackle it, maybe go after McConnell. It is embarrassing. It is a shame. It is too emblematic of what is going on in Washington where everyone thinks that they are just entitled to their job. They cannot be questioned. The staff can get away with whatever they want. They are climbing the ladder. Then they are doing kind of this continuing revolving door of amount of work in the private sector. Then I'm going to work in the public sector. Then the private sector. Then the public sector. I'm going to work for an AI company. And then I'm going to go back to the Hill and I'm going to make sure AI doesn't get regulated. And then I'm going to go back and get a better job with the AI company. That's what's going on right now. And it's quite easy to do that when the man, not to make the turtle pun here, but it's too easy. He's a literal shell of himself. But that's kind of what's perfect for the people who have always boosted Mitch McConnell's career. They didn't care if there was a real human being carrying out the votes. All they wanted is their agenda through. So now Mitch McConnell is living in the purgatory of his own decisions. Unfortunately, this is not the only deadly story that we have today because someone who, Mitch McConnell, and Donald Trump, oh, Lord, Mitch McConnell allowed to come back into power to carry out destruction on our country. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are covering up for the deaths of Americans because of their war on Iran. So more of Mitch McConnell fucking up the country. It's why I have no sympathy for him because this story is heartbreaking. Trump covering up number of war dead bombshell leak reveals there are more deaths that the public doesn't know about, according to a new report. More U.S. service members have died in the Middle East during Donald Trump's war with Iran than the administration has disclosed publicly, a bombshell new report from the Washington Post revealed. Six Defense Department insiders familiar with the agency's internal casualty accounting data told the Washington Post that there have been at least 22 military fatalities, four more than the 18 reported by the Pentagon, on its defense casualty analysis system. More U.S. service members familiar with the agency's internal casualty accounting data told the Washington Post that there have been at least 22 military fatalities, four more than the 18 reported by the Pentagon, on its defense casualty analysis system. The death toll at 23 since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran in February, this source said not all undisclosed deaths were directly linked to the Middle East conflict, but included U.S. personnel who were in the region amid the hostilities. The U.S. contractors based in the Middle East have also died since the war began, three, I should say, according to the same official. The insiders expressed frustration that the other deaths were not reflected in the Pentagon's public portal. As of Friday afternoon, the database indicates that 14 service members have died during Operation Epic Fury, the Trump administration's chosen name for the war. Four other deaths were categorized under overseas operations. Meanwhile, more than 820 have been wounded since the war began. Two U.S. service members who died in the Middle East during missions unrelated to Iran were also not reflected in the Pentagon's portal. Devin Seibel died May 31st during a training. Devin Seibel died May 31st during a training incident in Iraq. And Major, I should say, Sergeant Devin Seibel and Major Scofly Davias died March 6th in Kuwait after an unspecified medical emergency. Pete Hegseth, of course lying, responded to this story and called it disgusting and fake and said, shame on the Washington Post. Shame on the Washington Post? Shame on you, Pete Hegseth. It is embarrassing that he is trying to play this off as fake news. Hegseth has done everything. He's done everything possible to keep real reporters out of the Pentagon for reasons like this. because he does not want the truth of the failure of this war to come out and what is just as devastating as the lies and trying to conceal it from the american public is how this affects the families if it is not being properly reported they are also not getting the benefits that they are entitled to because their spouses were killed in a war because they like to classify it differently their spouses are not getting the the benefit i don't call them benefits but but what they are entitled to because their military spouses died so it is just gross it is disgusting and it is why i was so glad to see thomas massey move forward with reading articles of impeachment for pete hegseth this week and why i'm glad that we continue to see someone like mark kelly speak out against him let me ask you about this because there this is there's a timely matter with uh there was an article of impeachment introduced by congressman massey of kentucky this week and um mike johnson the speaker of the house uh quickly adjourned uh the house for i guess through the recess and coincidence or not who knows but what was your reaction to that and what have you heard um since that went down well first of all i've never met tom massey i've never spoken to him before until a couple days ago after this happened i thought it was appropriate for me to give him a call because of his eight articles of i guess it's a resolution of impeachment but there were eight articles in there one of them is about what pete hegseth is trying to do to me by name and he goes through my case and why that why he believes this is an impeachable offense i think the the real ironic thing about pete hegseth's potential impeachment from being secretary of defense is six of those eight articles uh are about pete hegseth following illegal orders from the president if he would have just listened to us he wouldn't find himself as now and throughout history unless it happens again he's the first cabinet member where a member of his own party tried to impeach him and throw him out of office so he goes down in history as that guy but if he would have listened to the six of us he would not have found himself in this situation missed opportunity missed yep just um just it's incredibly devastating and and mark kelly is right uh pete hegseth would have been better served just listening to him it's almost like we should have someone like mark kelly as the secretary of defense but i think you know people will keep that in mind going forward we should expect more from our government is just to take away from this video and we are going to continue to call that all out on this show if you want to support that as always you can hit that subscribe button leave a like on this video if you stuck around at the end drop a blue heart in the comments keep on fighting y'all don't let them silence you and until next time i'll see you soon
