McConnell was hospitalized on June 14 after he was found unconscious at his DC home.

“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home.

He released a break dance video from his rehab room so all is well. 😆

“We’re supposed to be kind people.”

But we’re not supposed to be stupid gullible people.

I saw Tik Tok video of him doing the moonwalk that made Michael Jackson look like an amateur.

Cynicism, bitterness, and just plain hate. However, there is such a thing as righteous anger. But even at that, we’re told not to let the sun go down on our anger. It isn’t mentally, emotionally, or spiritually healthy. But personally, I do not like to be lied to. The Bible doesn’t preach tolerance, but it does preach forgiveness. What are we to do with those who refuse to ask for forgiveness?

So many are giving jaded responses, because many of us are rather certain we are being lied to by our government about Mitch’s heath status.

Many here are also angry that even now, there is no official
statement from Mitch or anyone speaking for him, that he now resigns from all political duties!

We all wish him a good recovery, but that can and should be done in the privacy of his home, not the Senate Chambers!
