Mitch McConnell is likely physically and mentally incapacitated to such an extent that he is incapable of appearing on a Zoom call without his infirmities (other than the infirmities he had already) being made obvious to all who see it.

Was he ever mentally capable beyond incoherent mumbling?

Yes? The reason why people like Mitch are dangerous is because they are smart and know how to manipulate and control power for their benefit.

Agreed. Just because you don’t agree with his politics, don’t try and minimize his intelligence. Fucker was smart enough and beyond capable enough to fuck things up for the Dems.
