McConnell was rushed to the hospital in mid-June for an undisclosed medical reason, with his spokesperson David Popp issuing a vague statement regarding the reason for the hospitalization. It wasn’t until last week that media outlets learned McConnell had been discovered “unconscious” at his home and had to be administered CPR for potential “cardiac arrest.”
It remains unclear why McConnell’s staff refused to share details, but some, including independent journalist and crypto commentator Adam Cochran, have a theory.
“In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election,” Cochran wrote Saturday in a social media post on X. “If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date.”
“So all they have to do is drag their feet until [the second Tuesday in August], then tell you that he didn’t make it,” Cochran continued. “And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.”
David Morris, a journalist and author, also appeared to endorse the theory with a brutal jab at McConnell and his legacy.
“Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out,” Morris wrote in a social media post on X.
The guy who stole 3 seats on the Supreme Court is going to wait out the clock on his own replacement even when he’s likely not even breathing on his own. Fuck everything about this timeline.
So, what are you going to do about it? America used to be great because Americans used to actually get out there and be the change…or fight for it. Now y’all just whine on websites.
dO sOmEtHiNg says the European who is likely also having their government bought by far right corpos
First of all, America was never great. That’s a MAGA lie.
Second of all, anybody in the USA who posts about “fighting for it” is either being deliberately vague about decorating cardboard signs, or won’t be posting anywhere for much longer.
It’s easy to romanticize an armed rebellion when it’s not actually your own family at risk. Half of the people who realize what’s happening are leaving, like Einstein did.
And violent revolutions are kind of a roll of the dice. Sure, you could have a glorious outcome. But you are just as likely to have a bunch of scared people turn to whatever warlord promises them security.
There has been only one truly revolutionary movement and that was Haiti. We see how that turned out. The rest of the revolutions are just money fighting wealth.
If by rolling the dice you mean never in history getting the results you want in the end, then yes. Totally rolling those dice to crap out again.
Laura Loomer has said that he’s brain dead
Decide for yourself how much credibility you give her
She speaks from experience.
It is exceedingly difficult for a medical professional to differentiate between brain death and just being a republican representative.
points at Fetterman
But he’s always been brain dead.
Yes, but what about his current state?
Takes one to know one.
I wish they’d confirm it so I can celebrate already.
lil’ bitch clung to power until he died. And every decision he ever made was to further his own self-interest, or hurt others. A true piece of shit. May he never know peace. May his soul remain forever fragmented and separate from the eternal ethereal coexistence we all will one day share. May he wander forever alone and afraid.
I’m voting for the Prometheus ending.
On repeat. Every day. Forever.
At least Prometheus did something useful…
One of the finest posts I’ve ever seen on the internet
he could be technically alive. just enough. he might be kept technically alive for a while yet.
it’s probably hell in whatever remains of his mind. a nightmare two months long.
In my opinion if an elected official can’t respond to a request for physical proof of fitness for the job by those they supposedly represent then they should automatically be removed from office and elections for a fit replacement is called.
What you are suggesting is the norm in every western country in the World.
However, in the US anything goes.
You might consider fixing that.
Kentucky does gubernatorial appointment, but I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly.
On the bright side, the fact they’re this desperate smells of weakness. Does America have the stones to exploit this to actually mount an offense against the barbarians raising America to the ground?
I mean yeah, it’s the weakness party. They’re afraid of women, afraid of melanin, and of course very proudly afraid of God.
Their entire psychology is built on a foundation of fear demanding power to feel safety it can never deliver. They are violently delusional.
Lol, no.
Americans have always been loud mouthed cowards.
Firmware update didn’t take?
How can we expect them to take care of us (U.S.) if they won’t even take care of each other???
Republicans cheating? No way.
Anyways, it sucks we have to wait for traitors to die of old age in this country.
The article has a point. His death being manipulated and leveraged politically to keep a seat for the Republicans is exactly what he would have wanted.
And republicans have no shame or morals so they would absolutely do something like that.
We need to call the long slow coup out for what it is.
The entire goal of Republican efforts has been to subvert the Constitution for a long time.
I cannot wait until the Republicans and the dumbfuck Murc’s Law types find a way to blame the Democrats for them doing it.
“If we didn’t protect his legacy then Barack HUSSEIN Obama would have taken his seat and sold your children into slavery. Your sexy little children…”
To the point it wouldn’t be shocking if he made it part of his will
Subverting democracy to the bitter end.
Rest in piss, you evil turtle.
So do I pour the drink now or wait until they admit it? Will we know the exact day they pull the plug? Did we already miss the appropriate day?
Can’t somebody file a lawsuit to compel them to produce their representative?
We’ll have to ask the Supreme Court…
Ahh, 5 to 4, huh?
Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out,
Bruh.
This statement is truthful if you know McConnell.
Well now… I still do think you can tell a lot about a person from how they speak of the dead, but under the circumstances this is a level of restraint I would struggle to achieve.
“So all they have to do is drag their feet until [the second Tuesday in August], then tell you that he didn’t make it,” Cochran continued. “And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.”
5 more weeks of weekend at bernie’s-ing the expired turd doesn’t sound like a fun job. I’ll take solace in that at least.
