Is he brain dead and being kept on life support to protect his senate seat? https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-confidante-says-mitch-mcconnell-215734988.html

I do not actively follow American politics but my Reddit feed is currently mostly people celebrating this man's death.

Not from the US so not sure if im using Rep. right. Anyway, why is she being investigated to the point that punishment includes stripping her citizenship?

I've literally never heard of this woman before, but in the last 24 hours I keep getting inundated with memes about her and her weird face in a red dress and I don't understand why we're mad at her or what's being riffed on.

Has he rented out the whitehouse or something?

I saw that the show got cancelled or maybe a planned episode or something was cancelled. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c621ln7vx7qo

I really don't know a lot about the series and haven't watched it before. I've learned some things through osmosis over the past few years. Last I heard there was some hype around the show because they were bringing back a popular actor. I also saw that an actor I recognize from Sex Education on Netflix was joining the show and I saw that some people were excited about that.

But now apparently it's been cancelled or something along those lines? Isn't the show wildly popular?

Idk yall, I want your opinions.

I don't understand, I thought it was going to be something you mention it once, and its never mentioned again, but it won't rest. Its basically functions like the electronic signature, you sign once, you go boop boop there you go it copies it in puts it in the fields. We, common folk, use it in nearly every office these days.

The current president even used it himself in the past, many of them did.

I don't get it what's the deal? Do his followers think he signed every letter, birthday card and every COVID check individually with his massive sharpie?

If he says any document Biden signed with it is invalid, wouldn't that make anything he himself signed in the past with it also invalid?

What am I missing? I'm so tired of hearing about a technology that is everywhere. You'd think for someone who is constantly being pro-AI, a machine that copies a signature is like vintage tech compared to spoofing a voice or deep faking people you dislike.

Along with Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon and prince Andrew. I would imagine this being at the top of Reddit and talked about for weeks, but all I see are tumbleweed. Whats up with that?

Edit: 5mins into my post, someone reported me to Reddit to receive a RedditCareResources. Whats up with that?

It has been in the news for months now that Mitch McConnell the senator has been MIA following a health event. Trying to search for facts about the situation just leads to conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory that he has been dead for months, that all posts are fake, and the photos of "proof of life" are AI generated. Latest news from his update is that he will return next week. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2026/09/10/mcconnell-staff-tells-senators-they-expect-hell-return-next-week/ If he is well enough to return next week, why hasn't he gotten on the phone and called someone? Is it really possible that he is dead?

Remind me who are the bad guys? Who are we rooting for here?

Basically what the title says.

Every article I have seen says that she partially dedicated and/or thanked Trump for his "decisive support" in South America.
Is she just being overly gracious? Is she being cheeky?
I know we offered a loan to Argentina, but given all the horrible things we have done to immigrants broadly over the last several months, I can't see anything we have done to improve or galvanize democracy in South America. By "we," I mean the US, and the Trump Administration in particular.

I saw a bunch of memes showing Trump in the same diagram used to show how Saddam was hiding and now I am hearing people are leaving his administration.

Apparently this occurred months ago though so I am not sure if this is true or just an excuse and there is more to the story.

Why did Paramount cancel Colbert off the air for “financial” reasons, then turn around and spend a billion dollars on the rights of South Park?

Can someone explain to me why Paramount pulled the Colbert show for budget reasons but just paid billions for South Park?

I feel confused, because the subtext seems to be that Paramount doesn’t want Colbert criticizing Trump and affecting their chances at a merger with Skydance. But South Park is also a very outspoken, left leaning show? So why is the network so willing to shell out big money for South Park and not see it as a risk?

Edit- Thanks for all the engagement and discussion guys!

I see that Mitch McConnell is back and active (using that term loosely) - And he seems to be lucid, aware of his surroundings, and even released a statement.

What I'm confused about, however, is whether he is ""healthy"" or not. He smiles, he gives thumbs ups, and there are photos of him "speaking to the press" on September 14 - But did anyone personally talk to him? Are there videos of him speaking?

Googling this, for some reason, seems to give news articles with VERY scant information, all stating the same thing over and over... he's been seen in public, he gave a statement, he spoke to the press.. but nothing in terms of video or quotes beyond the TMZ video where he's wheeled out to his car (and gives a thumbs up) and the one where he's wheeled out of the Senate.

And what I HATE about Reddit in this case, is how not a SINGLE post has some serious discussion in the comments. It's all jokes and memes. "Weekend at Bernies", "Spongebob grandma", "Animatronic conspiracy", it makes me feel dumber for reading it.

So, please put me back in the loop - Is Mitch McConnell actually back and healthy (as can be for someone his age after a serious illness), or is he "a propped up corpse" as some people like to believe??

EDIT: For the love of God guys, can we NOT make this into a joke thread again? Are you guys really physically incapable of making jokes and being snarky about this? I just want to hear the facts without hearing political circlejerks and Redditors who think they're being clever.

It seemed like when Russia first invaded, everyone supported Ukraine. I even saw Republicans with facebook support, flying ukraine flags, ect. I know they had qualms about funding, but now they seem to HATE Ukraine, especiallaly after the press conference yesterday. What happened not at the press conference, but leading up to that to change so drastically?

I really hate asking this, but I'm genuinely confused. I used to frequent 4chan when I was a teenager (about 20 years ago jesus christ I am dust) and it was by its own admission a shithole, but /b/ was a great source of memes, so it was easy enough to scroll past the weird shit. I left long before they got trump elected, and have rarely been back since.

tonight (out of curiosity) I checked in on /b/ and it's literally nothing but shitty porn. not even promoting anything, just stuff like "here's my favorite pic of a dude getting a BJ. post your favorite picture of a dude getting a BJ," towards absolutely no end, other than jerking off with other dudes. I saw this a couple years ago and thought it was a fluke, but it seems to be keepin' on.

is this the ultimate ending of the internet, or did something on the site break down?

obligatory: 4chan.org

(oh, and yes, I've seen the "it came from somethingawful" and pepe the frog documentaries. this is a more recent thing, from what I can tell.)

My wife told me this today because she saw it on TikTok and I have a very, very hard time believing this. Where did this come from or is it just more insanity and speculation from people on the internet too much?

I saw an snl skit and some guy named clavicular looking all upset in his reaction to it while his little friend found this rather silly. Are these people really breaking their jaws up? And what the heck is looksmaxxing and why does he look so weird?

I know all famous people have haters and people who dislike them and will nitpick the shit outta them, but I’ve just seen a lot of people post random interviews or articles about him that talk about how he is famous and above people. Yeah he is famous and thinks he’s above all. This is what famous people do? Do we not know this, especially child actors. People are astonished that he is rich and famous, has personal chefs, has self-centred views. Pretty sure 90% of famous people do.
