Still attached to "life support" or not...

I have no love for Mitch McConnell, but this is just grisly to exploit him this way.

Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash, yet won reelection to the Senate for Missouri several years ago. I know, I know. but they have a dark humor streak and were certainly not too aggrieved.

So, maybe we need to purchase a supply for some in denial?

In another post on another thread, I asked if it is possible for a Senator to cast a vote electronically if he or she cannot be at the Senate in person to vote.

I still don't know if it is allowed by Senate rules. But if it isn't, rules can be changed. Would Rs claim thar a long standing Senator who was once Majority Leader should have the right to vote from his hospital bed?

Then claim that people have visited him and he is conscious and able to vote.

ETA: I just looked it up. No, there is no electronic voting in the Senate. Senators must be present to cast a vote. Beware if Rs try to change that.

What the people of Kentucky deserve, and the rest of the nation wants, is for an attending physician to step forward and tell us Mitch McConnel IS NOT brain dead, and he engages in meaningful conversations with hospital staff

Did he talk back to you? Hard to imagine a corpse talking but he seems to have been doing so for years already. Also, are you sure is wasn't just gas?

and Jennings has a conversation with a probably comatose McConnell. Republicans seem to be masters of having one sided conversations these days. Can’t wait until the Felon is one day soon behind bars and having long talks with Adolf, Benito, Francisco and Joseph, his mentors.

I still like her, but after Jennings became a regular I stopped watching. He completely ruined her show for me.

The phrase "a rancid, worthless piece of garbage" fits him to a T.

So someone is having routine in depth 20 minute conversations. So any important personage with greater concerns should be able to get more, even face time. Where in blazes are the neutral, the competent interested people outside the pal circles now finding a competent polite way to follow thru on this? Hell, even a sneaky detective working for ANYONE should be able to crack this veneer.

Or is it all about fear? We even found about the secret meeting agenda among NATO members concerning an obvious move to put European forces in Greenland as a defensive force. Secret this, secret that. BS.

Most questions are obvious especially if vital. No one does anything if info does come out! No need for conspiracy theories. Getting the truth is a baby step. A step not taken.

The truth is that the GOP is cowering behind Trump the only one standing between themselves and electoral wipeout. Just like when they didn't dump him after his loss to Biden when they had the chance.
