25. Look... this is what is going on

McConnell is on life support. While he is still alive by mechanical means, his wife went to China, most likely to be out of the country so she cannot be reached to authorize turning off the ventilator.

The dirty shit dog republicans are not going to allow the Ky Governor any time to order a special election. By not allowing any Democrat to visit him, “ he can continue” to serve.

I think this will totally backfire on the shit dog republicans, because there will be an election, and a well placed democrat may just win the Ky seat.

Just my opinion….many are talking to McConnell, but his is not answering or even comprehending.
