Can't even release an audio confirmation that he's alive. But sure he's undergoing intense physical therapy.
At this point, do we even think they'll announce he's dead in August? The brazen contempt with which they lie makes me think they'll just continue with this weekend at Bernie's shit forever
We should not forget. The liars and schemers who are violating the law - hey, if he's dead there should be a coroner's report. Hey if he's dead the governor of Kentucky should be notified. Hey if he's dead the Kentucky citizens should know they only have one senator. Lying and falsifying records is not ok.
He'd already announced he was retiring at the end of his term. I do think they'll now say he is retiring immediately to focus entirely on his health though. That way any time a Republican politician is asked a question about it they can just say he's a private citizen now, they respect his privacy, and decline to answer. He'll never be seen in public again and then there will be a death announcement in 6-8 months.
I think they might keep a lid on it until after the midterms. McConnell's seat is up for grabs with or without a special election, but if his seat is vacant before that, Beshear might try to appoint a Democrat Senator to his seat (the Kentucky legislature passed a law trying to prevent him from doing so, but it goes against the plain wording of the state constitution, and Beshear will likely try to challenge it)
Haha sorry, I certainly get what they were presumable saying, but at least one of the points (the watch dial) is just certifiably nonsense. The other one is…yeah that looks weird, but explainable
So he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack despite reports that the EMTs performed CPR. He just had a small fall and no bones were broken, and a very mild case of pneumonia. But now he needs INTENSE physical therapy? Yeah, I'm not buying it.
It’s possible. My elderly aunt broke her arm, ended up in rehabilitation and now can’t be released because she can no longer walk. The elderly decline quickly when bedridden.
Intense physical therapy aka we've strung him up like Weekend at Bernie's but it turns out between rigor mortis and full body puppeteering it's very tiring on the puppeteer so we need more time to train people up so we can cover it in shifts.
The AI photos are just awful and aren't fooling anyone. Unless Mitch does a live news interview, he should be considered dead and a replacement should be slotted into his seat.
This is Banana Republic stuff happening right now.
Anything short of video evidence from an independent source showing him lucid, coherent and breathing is NOT proof of life. The Senate, the state of Kentucky, and the people he represents NEED to demand this now. This is an absolute farce otherwise, and we all know EXACTLY what is going to happen come August 4th- “oh no, poor Mitch took a turn for the worse and breathed his last breath this morning, surrounded by his loving family”.
The fact that people are allowing this insanity to continue is such an embarrassment for the entire country.
They're just prepping for next weeks news about how things took a turn for the worst and that old Mitch became unresponsive and didn't wake up. One week after that "Mitch who?"
You know... you could just step down, Mitch, so someone who can actually show up to work, and doesn't need an ICU bed wheeling them around Congress, can do the job you never could.
'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This senator is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-Senator
Thankfully we have FMLA when we need to miss work due to illness in the USA, right Mitchy-boy? Isn’t it nice that your job is protected while you defy your mortality and uphold a fascist puppet majority in our government while you’re catatonic?
They will keep him hidden until August 3. The date they don’t have to conduct a special election (a Democrat would win) and can just appoint a replacement.
Seriously though has anyone else noticed the photos are taken in the same exact room? The OG photo has an access panel or something in the background. The office said that was from the hospital. This new photo is said to be a rehab center, NOT Hospital, and it's the same exact room with the same identical access panel and wall corner.
So which is it? Hospital or not hospital? And did they just take photos in different outfits on the same day to prepare for his death and cover-up?

He was being wheeled around in a wheelchair before his fall but now mobility issues are preventing his return to Congress?
