Dude, do you read the links that you post?

The image is of low quality, making it difficult to determine key details when we zoom in. While the image displays no clear signs of AI generation, we could not definitively rule out other forms of digital alteration . Until we receive a response from McConnell's staff and obtain video footage of McConnell, we leave this claim unrated.

Just because it wasn't generated with OpenAI or Gemini, doesn't mean that it isn't AI generated/manipulated. Or, and hear me out, old school Photoshop.

You've no response to: if McConnell looks this good, why don't they have him in front of every right wing news media?

Dude, you're motte and bailey-ing so hard. You listed out half a dozen things that were demonstrably false, I posted a link refuting them, and then you're like "but your link says they can't prove it hasn't been altered at all because it's too low quality."

Yeah man, it notionally could have been altered. But literally every specific you listed in your first post was dead wrong. Let's not pretend like 90% of that snopes link wasn't a direct refutation of all the conspiracy theory nonsense you were peddling in your initial post.

And they're not trotting him out in front of all the right wing news media because no one on the right believes that he's a vegetable. This is just left wing conspiracy nonsense. Why didn't MSNBC run constant live feeds of Obama's birth certificate? Because no reasonable person believed he didn't have one. It's the same thing here.

because no one on the right believes that he’s a vegetable.

Riiiiiiight. There are PLENTY on the right who believes it, but isn't questioning it. Just because we may not know exactly why they're covering it up doesn't mean it's not true. I believe you cited Occam's razor, and the simplest explanation is that this man is as dead as Elvis.

I quote the Doobie Brothers:

"What a fool believes, no wise man has the power to reason away."

Oh, and just FYI, you can reply all you want, but I'm blocking you now, so I won't see it or respond.
