“2023 photo of McConnell and Elaine Chao”. The first photo that came up was the one others in the comments have posted. (Clearly, they’re much better techies than I.)

If you copy that one and today’s and post them one above the other, the similarities are too great to miss. Same smile, same expression, same posture, same clothes. There’s no doubt. People here have ruled out AI, but there are other technologies (Photoshop?) that could take out chaises, palm trees and tropical drinks and replace them with a hospital bed. That’s especially true when you consider that the equipment and expertise available to staffers and others at that level of the federal government must be top-notch.

EDIT
Here’s the Imgur link to the two photos next to each other, at least one atop the other.

Anyway, I’ve gotta believe my own eyes.
