First, unconscious can happen from a lot of things besides cardiac arrest.

Second, no oxygen mask means nothing,, if his O2 level was good on scene, he wouldn't have needed O2 or might have had a simple cannula, something a neighborwas too far away to spot, unless that neighbor was a medical professional.

Third, EMTs hustle into a scene, but if they've got a stable patient, conscious or not, they don't operate at a run. In fact, I've only seen them really hustle at an accident scene when someone was bleeding out and they needed to get him/her into the rig where their emergency equipment was.

Fourth, the antichrist takes care of his own, so I don't think that old buzzard will ever die.

[homegirl]

16. So here it is A. or B.

A. Mitch is hospitalized and recovering from an undisclosed medical issue

B: Mitch was DOA, and his death is not being revealed, for political purposes.

[Warpy]

23. I"m pretty sure the old poop was alive when he left his house

because his face was uncovered.

I'm betting he wasn't dead, just maybe dead drunk and they were able to arouse him.

`This isn't to say he's not in diabolical physical condition. I'm just not buying the conspiracy.

[Warpy]

40. Not DIA with his face exposed

I like

C: This non scandal was started by the MAGA GOP, who realize he needs to retire and the sooner the better so they can get somebody younger and just as vicious into the office ASAP.

[TVguyCards]

39. But there's the EMT recordings

that said he had a cardiac event, not breathing, and attempting CPR on him.
I'm no doctor but from what I know people who are brought back from having a heart attack via CPR always have an oxygen mask on. If that's incorrect then perhaps a doctor on the board here could correct me.

5. Maybe McConnell is alive today,

...and maybe he isn't. But one thing I'm counting on: he's never casting another vote in the Senate.

And if there's no special election held in the interim, that means one fewer Republican vote for the next 6 months. Win-win for the Democrats during that time period.

[durablend]

6. So you think

But one thing I'm counting on: he's never casting another vote in the Senate.

Republicans will find a way. Somehow.

[Wednesdays]

9. They would have to change the Rules of the Senate, just for him.

Not gonna happen.

[calimary]

21. Unless you sneak...

[malaise]

7. THIS

Rec

[Beachnutt]

8. Mitch if your vote is yea

wiggle your big toe once
If it's nay wiggle it twice..

[erronis]

25. I've phrased it as "Mitch - if you agree with the (R) position, stay still. Otherwise, stand up and give a thumbs down."

[steelyboo]

20. "Maybe McConnell is alive today, and maybe he isn't."

Makes him sound like Schrodinger's tortoise

[Botany]

10. I think he is toast.

The EMS showed up @ 8:30 and they didn’t take him out on stretcher into the
ambulance until 9:00 and his face was covered but his feet were sticking out
from under the sheet. Maybe they got a pulse out of him and with his wife in
China there is nobody who can have the plug to be pulled.

[malaise]

12. It's the coverup that I find

disturbing

[malaise]

32. Literally

[Wednesdays]

37. You'd think the Repugs would be in a hurry to announce his death

So that they could replace their vote in the Senate ASAP?



But that's just me.

[wnylib]

17. One neighbor who witnessed his removal said she saw his face

and there was no oxygen mask on him.

[Botany]

27. If they had given him CPR and he was

living they would have been moving fasteuh Drr.
I heard reports that he was revived a 2nd time @ the hospital. But I can't be sure if all the reports are accurate. Although I can
find joy in his passing. He really hurt America. He blocked money for clean elections ... he knew that cheating is something that the GOP has to do

[wnylib]

29. I don't question how evil the turtle was.

I feel cheated out of celebrating his passing.

But I do question conflicting reports about whether his face was covered when he was removed from his home.

[hookaleft]

18. was his face really covered??

I couldn't see that from the video

[Botany]

24. Not sure

N/t

[wnylib]

30. A witness on the scene said that she saw his face.

But witnesses can be wrong so we don't know for sure.

[BannonsLiver]

34. Also no use of oxygen which seems odd if they had managed to resuscitate him with CPR.

That’s the detail in this that seems the most interesting.

[Laffy Kat]

35. As an EMT, that puzzles me, too.

If they did CPR--which has a less than 2% success rate out -of-hospital--he'd absolutely be on O2. Plus, CPR on an over-eighty-year-old would break the sternum and ribs, which would further inhibit breathing, necessitating oxygen.

Something ain't right.

[BannonsLiver]

36. Thank you. I was hoping someone in that field might respond.

Good perspective.

[Laffy Kat]

38. I wondering if the CPR was incorrectly reported.

Still, I mean, even if someone is feeling anxious, first responders will almost always slap O2 on at 2 liters. Even if they don't truly need oxygen, it can help the patient feel taken care of and calm them, and 2 liters isn't going to hurt anything.

[wackadoo wabbit]

41. We don't know who was doing the CPR

It could have been someone at the house before the EMTs arrived. And the EMTs could have stopped it, because they realized that he was dead.

[31j20b3]

11. It looks to me like Republicans panicked fearing Bashear would appoint a Dem

That is to say, the people around McConnell and perhaps Thune didn't really know Kentucky law, and how a replacement would take place.

SOo o o o what they did is clamp down an information blackout.

For them it's better to have the public guessing he's still alive, than having the public know a truth confirmed by Docs in a hospital press conference.

This sort of thing shouldnt be a surprise. Vance told us in his mind it was not only ok, but it was good to lie if it's the only way you can get a message that helps you into the media

[malaise]

13. He could not

The process was changed by MM and his ReTHUGs in anticipation of this moment.
This is about the special election and dates.

It is chicanery on steroids.

[31j20b3]

14. Yes it is. If you can't win without cheating CHEAT GADDAMIT!

[SamuelAdams]

15. I might have missed something.

But from what I have heard, McConnell has had exactly three phone call since entering the hospital. All were Sunday morning. He improved enough to be able to spend an hour on the phone but hasn't called anyone since? None of the people he called discussed his condition or when he might go home. Why haven't any of his colleagues visited him? His wife or daughter could put our photos or videos at any point if he is doing better.

[calimary]

19. Maybe they're still trying to come up with a good cover story?

[prerev]

22. Hey, "Weekend at Bernie's 3" and he's right back to work!

[Midnight Writer]

26. Simply release a helium balloon to float around in his room. If his eyes follow it, he is OK.

I think it is called The Frist Test.

[twodogsbarking]

28. He's training for the Winter Olympics in skating. He has a lifetime of experience, world class.

[H2O Man]

33. Recommended.

I heard that Mitch is suffering from Rigor Tortoise.

[malaise]

42. Me too
