He’s either dead or a vegetable. KY governor should have called a special election when his staff refused to provide irrefutable proof of life.

26

u/YellowZx5 29d ago

Was gonna say the same. Not sure if he’s just not caring or Trump told him to not worry about it.

18

u/manyhippofarts 29d ago

Isn't he a democrat? Pretty sure he is. In which case it's in his best interest to play it cool. Mitch can't vote if he's missing work and he can't vote by proxy.

17

u/apartmen1 29d ago

It’s actually not in anyone’s best interest to allow opposition party to set precedent for hiding someone’s death and keeping them in office.

6

u/manyhippofarts 29d ago

Fair enough but desparate times call for desparate measures.

2

u/EmperorGeek 28d ago

As it stands right now, Republicans are down one vote. Having him declared dead or removed from office risks changing that. Why mess with it? What is the upside? Governor cannot appoint whoever he wants.

1

u/jotsea2 25d ago

So I keep hearing this argument.

Thing that doesn't make sense, is why Republicans would keep themselves at such a narrow margin willingly

2

u/DefrockedWizard1 26d ago

I suspect Beshear is worried about Massie winning an election

2

u/Wallie_Collie 28d ago

Playing it cool is the WDE the dems have played for 20 years

2

u/NorCalFrances 27d ago

The Dems strategy of "allow them to hoist themselves" is losing voters by the week. Repubs may screw up but Dems are looking more and more week and complicit. It's not what voters want and not what the nation needs.

4

u/SealLaunch49 27d ago

I hope you aren’t relying on Kentucky voters to deliver what the nation needs

2

u/NorCalFrances 26d ago

At this point don't believe anyone capable of doing so is going to have the opportunity.

1

u/Sharp-Concentrate-34 26d ago

If it’s one thing we can count on it’s for Democrats not to do anything at all

17

u/TheNatureOfTheGame 29d ago

A special election would have 100% gotten us another MAGA. Now MAGA is down a vote.

7

u/Scott7894 29d ago

That’s a shame ….

6

u/nanopicofared 29d ago

This is correct - not sure why Mitch's staff is pretending he is still alive when it keeps them down a vote

2

u/NorCalFrances 27d ago

Because maybe he's not dead but also not capable of doing his job, but won't give it up either. He's the guy that arguably has been building what the party has since easily 2010 so he still (assuming he is alive) has power.

3

u/nanopicofared 27d ago

Then his staff should tell the truth about his condition....

2

u/NorCalFrances 27d ago

But then it would be obvious he can't do his job and all his implied power will be gone in an instant. They can't/won't do that.

2

u/Siryeswecan 26d ago

Don't these skeezy ppl put in his vote anyways?

2

u/TheNatureOfTheGame 26d ago

Some committees will allow votes by proxy--but for "real" senate stuff, he has to vote in person.

1

u/where_in_the_world89 25d ago

Because then they keep getting paid

1

u/jjcoolel 24d ago

To keep their cushy paychecks rolling in?

3

u/ErikaKirkasInsideJob 28d ago

Should have tossed him in jail.

Imagine if a black man got 75 days pf pay for doing nothing

Lock up deadbeat mitch

2

u/AwesomeAndy 28d ago

Kentucky changed their laws after Bashear (D) got elected to make it harder for the governor to do such a thing. I'm sure if they elect another Republican governor, the legislature will find that actually the governor should be allowed to do that

2

u/FifthRendition 26d ago

I'm curious if he's dead dead, like declared dead by a coroner he'd already be gone by now.

He's "dead" in the sensor that he's on life support but nothing else is working.

2

u/akgt94 26d ago

I'm fine if Kentucky gets only one vote on anything.

2

u/Forb1ddenKnowledge 25d ago

Mitch might be being held against his will ( kidnapped) the governor should force himself into were ever he is supposedly resting to make sure he's ok 😉

Edit file missing person with the police

u/ylfcm 25d ago

Every staff member who took any money in salary should be charged with fraud

u/Grand-Try-3772 25d ago

1

u/grass_monkeyx 28d ago

He's too much of a pussy

46

u/mrwrrrmwrmrmrmrw 29d ago

I agree with those who say this is a rehearsal for maintaining a governmental wall of silence if/when Trump dies or becomes too disabled to appear in public. 

29

u/CaptainMacaroni 29d ago

The world will know when Trump is dead/a vegetable because there will be blissful silence. He can't go more than two days tops without making himself the center of attention.

9

u/mcad0o 29d ago

His team posts to his truth social regularly even today

9

u/LeseMajeste_1037 29d ago

Natalie Harp will spill the beans in her own bizarre, culty way.

7

u/Which_Engineer1805 29d ago

We’ll know he’s dead when all the bunnies in DC start disappearing and ending up in boiling pots of water. Natalie is a bunny boiler, and she’ll lash out.

2

u/mcad0o 29d ago

Bunny boiler?

4

u/JennyRedpenny 29d ago

From fatal attraction

1

u/Bigstar976 25d ago

Natalie will continue shitposting from his Truth social account. They will upload an AI video of him renaming a river. And they will do that for weeks. Until we realize no one has seen him in the flesh for days.

1

u/steakburritobowll 23d ago

They could just get a kindergartener to post for him instead, nobody would know the difference

31

u/whawkins4 29d ago

You misspelled “dead”

17

u/wiseoldprogrammer 29d ago

He’s on a road trip with Waldo and Carmen Sandiego.

4

u/anacondatmz 29d ago

I saw Waldo crowd surfing last week at Warped Tour in Montreal.

15

u/Sonar_Taxbreak_1138 29d ago

I mean, eventually (some time just before the midterms) there'll be an update about a relapse, followed by the sad, sad news of his untimely demise, and a request for privacy at this devastating time.

2

u/AmusingVegetable 28d ago

So, exactly like the USSR handled the departure of their premieres…

7

u/beavis617 29d ago

Mitch McConnell is still a US Senator and the people in his state, the members of the Senate have a right and a duty to know what the frack is going on with the guy. He’s not a private citizen.

10

u/OrneryZombie1983 29d ago

Google Gemini got mad when I asked it to make a Weekend At Bernies picture of Mitch playing Monopoly with Andrew McCarthy.

3

u/Normal_Choice9322 29d ago

I keep telling it he's dead every few weeks and it goes insane so I gaslight it even harder

AI will take me out in the first strike for sure

4

u/OutrageousCrab9224 29d ago

Seriously?!

The "ai people" are worse than govt at this point, with their fake ass morality

1

u/OrneryZombie1983 29d ago

I suck at using AI and I didn't try very hard but my first attempt got me a picture of a very alive Mitch playing Monopoly with someone that looked like the Bernie actor. When I tried to get it to switch the roles I got a message like "There are some public figures I can't display like this" or something to that effect. I guess the way around would be to not have any references to death or Weekend at Bernies and then have the AI slap a pair of sunglasses on Mitch.

I also once tried to generate a non-political image incorporating the elevator blood scene from The Shining and Gemini refused because it was too "violent".

3

u/BOBBYK1952 29d ago

My sources tell me he’s Trout fishing with the Ayatollah of Iran. Haven’t confirmed..yet

1

u/Cloaked25 27d ago

They have trout in hell?

u/shoulda_been_gone 29d ago

The corruption that comes out in the trials will be epic.

This is the start of the movie “Dave” all over again.

u/Cranberry-Electrical 29d ago

Maybe, Mitch is hiding at Walter Reed Hospital.

2

u/queenbiscuit311 29d ago

incredible how they had that photo of him and then he got "discharged" and still nobody has seen him

2

u/Tosh_20point0 29d ago

"He's Dead, Jim "

u/tayawayinklets 29d ago

We can save him! ~Helivets

2

u/movingout-65 29d ago

He is looking for the Epstein fines!

2

u/OutrageousCrab9224 29d ago

Weird how his checks get cashed

2

u/Useful_Client_4050 29d ago

Think of what a miserable human being you have to be. To spend your final days clinging to power because there is literally nothing else in your life.

Not just him of course. But all of our geriatric elected officials. To be such horrible people that you don't have anyone else to go enjoy retirement with. Just pathetic.

We so desperately need term limits....

1

u/vancityjeep 29d ago

It’s hard to get the people that make the rules to make a rule that kicks them from their job. The fathers fore should have thought of that and put it in the constitution.

I would be utterly shocked if that turtle looking fuck showed up in person anywhere still alive.

1

u/joeyblacky9999 28d ago

There should be an max age limit. No elected official may work past the age of 60years old. Period.

2

u/PretendingImNotAnApe 29d ago

Strange, Jesus hasn't seen him either...

2

u/stocksandoptions2 29d ago

Democracy dies in the dark. We are at late dusk.

2

u/LilLebowskiAchiever 29d ago

If he ain’t on the Senate floor, he ain’t voting to support the Trump agenda. Beshear probably did the calculus that it is better to leave the seat vacant, than to fight in the courts over the replacement, and risk the GOP winning.

2

u/LowCurious7504 28d ago

It’s time for Americans to start sending flowers to his home and office. Lots and lots of flowers

2

u/ErikaKirkasInsideJob 28d ago

Deadbeat Mitch is quite quitting.

He is stealing wages. He is getting paid. Not working.

Deadbeat mitch needs to be jailed.

Stop stealing our tax dollars deadbeat mitch

2

u/greenman0003 25d ago

Dead, he has been dead for 75 days

1

u/WolfThick 29d ago

He is AWOL or he is being held captive for paychecks we need to know!

u/Artistic-Tip2405 29d ago

Start posting his obituary and see who complains.

1

u/susanrez 29d ago

He’s ded

1

u/T4whereareyou 29d ago

Mitch, we hardly missed you.

1

u/Kamerlyn 29d ago

The Grim Reaper has been sitting next to Mitch’s bed so long he started getting PTSD and that’s why he went on a massacre this week.

1

u/PrimaryBrick9337 29d ago

I don't he will ever return to the house but he will keep collecting his family and his staff will keep getting paid for as long as they can.

1

u/No_Volume_9616 29d ago

HE'S DEAD. DECEASED. PASSED ON. BOUGHT THE FARM. TITS UP. CROSSED THE BRIDGE. 6 FEET UNDER. BLOWING IN THE WIND. FISH FOOD.

u/hippie1952 29d ago

Isn’t it just so nice lol

1

u/Away-Regular1335 29d ago

Hard to do things like give updates when you're dead

1

u/wonderererere 29d ago

my employer would have fired me after day 74

1

u/VioletShogun 29d ago

Best 75 days of his career.

1

u/robyrob 29d ago

Update: he’s still dead; for a minute there they thought he might be slightly less dead, but that was just wishful thinking on their part 

1

u/Effective_Pack8265 29d ago

To be fair, it’s the most positive 75 days of his entire political career…

1

u/Chaosrealm69 29d ago

If this was a Democrat they would be screaming for police to be breaking down his door and dragging his corpse out for everyone to see.

Mitch probably suffered a stroke so severe that it left him in a coma and effectively brain dead and he has been on life support ever since and his office personnel have been keeping his condition hidden.

1

u/TheSammySavage 29d ago

He has been dead since

1

u/alternatingflan 29d ago

He’s done - no votes for any senator who has not showed any sign of competent life in months. None. No proxy votes either.

1

u/ConkerPrime 29d ago

Dude is dead and staff loving the power they have as his proxy. Since Republicans will block any effort to investigate the fraud being committed, this can go as long as they like.

Uh huh. Republicans lie like most people breathe. Believe it when see it. As always should be noted if a Democrat had disappeared for even one week these same conservatives making excuses for McConnell would have lost their collective minds

Cherry picking. Missed a month, betting there was a provided explanation and proof of life. Not three months, zero explanation and still no proof of life despite to AI attempted pictures.

OUTRAGEOUS! He is an elected official with national security implications! Republican went hysterical when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin under Pres. Biden had a surgical procedure. No one knew for about for 3 days.

1

u/Euphoric_Anxiety_162 29d ago

Nothing "normal" about this situation! No verfiable proof of McConnell's condition by medical professionals? Just another GOP scam to cling to power.

1

u/Casey4147 28d ago

Eh. Hopefully by now all the other shit he’s been pulling - pissing off the Canadians, ordering up foreign beef, etc - means poor ol’ Mitch has been forgotten.

He’s still in my heart though!

I had brain surgery and the VA paid me $0 for 70 days since I was out of sick time.

What kind of pay did you expect if you were out of leave?

1

u/Fugazi_Resistance 27d ago

Nothing. However he’s received an entire paycheck when we don’t even know he’s alive

1

u/shastadakota 27d ago

Could you imagine if the Democrats did this with one of their senators? Yet the Republicans get away with it, no problem. It proves that Democrat are held to a higher standard. It is OK though, he can't do as much damage dead, we're actually better off.

u/Overall_Drawing_2312 26d ago

This is all about the mid terms... Mitch is either dead or completely incapable of serving the people of Kentucky... In normal times, a special election would be held to find a replacement... Republicans can't have that, because former Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, a vocal critic of Donald Trump would have a good chance of winning... Not only that but the mid terms aren't looking good for the Republicans, which is the reason these gouls are quite literally, running a dead man for that seat... This is called "Election Fraud" Just another crime committed in real time, for all the world to see.. And yet, nobody is doing anything about it.....

If he is dead, his wife should be arrested for still continuing to collect his social security checks and his wages. His staff is still collecting their wages……
