    Weird how unlimited time away from work and good, unlimited healthcare can extend a person’s life.

    I wonder if there’s a lesson to be learned there…

      That and black market human organs. Pure speculation, bit it would explain why his wife flew to China just hours after his entry to hospital.

          Mitch has a heart attack requiring CPR and a hospital trip on the 14th, time of hospitalization not publicized, and as made clear by many news organisations - his team ignored almost all requests for comment and detail by news orgs.

          His wife is photographed in China sitting with the vice-president of China 3 days later on the 17th.

          Her team have ignored all requests for more detail by news orgs (at least, I couldn’t find any that got a response).

            You avoided answering my question about the specific timeline you stated.

            Chao left for China on June 12, two days before McConnell was hospitalized. The fact that she didn’t return sooner sparked conspiracy theories online.

            And for the record, McConnell is a shithead.

              All you said was “citation for that timeline”, like I’m on trial or something.

              I responded with the best source I could find and a summary of the timeline as the three news reports I’d read stated it with a quick search.

              You respond back that I’m “avoiding answering your questions” which I am surely not, while demonstrating that you already had timeline source info from the get-go. I’m fine with being corrected, but you’re just arguing in bad faith.

              Fwiw, there are still multiple major news outlets reporting that she left after his heart attack, whom have not issued corrections… So fuck me for not being more informed than USA Today’s newsroom I guess?

            Do we know where she’s at now? Would be fun if she was confirmed to still be out of the country when that photo was supposed to have been taken

      A lesson like getting rid of all the mf that oppose all that for others while enjoying it themselves?
      Do you realize how socialist it sounds to want that for all and not only for the best of the best of the best?
