Mitch's dead. But his staff will honor their paycheck by pretending he's alive 'when he's dead they are unemployed!' so Beshear can't replace him. Mitch McConnell reaches out from death to screw Americans again.

Okay ya’all, we know Republicans would lie cheat and steal to stay in power. I mean really, when was the last time any Republican told the truth about anything? It’s statistics. Chances are 1 in about 100,000 they are telling the truth about McConnell.

Andy Beshear is a fuckin pussy. Unable to be a true leader. I would have already named a replacement and considered mcconnell of dereliction of duty. None of this pussyfooting around Beshear is currently doing.

BOTH sides are to blame…if you’ll actually look back with open eyes and an open mind, you’ll see that that the GOP is no worse than the Dem’s…the US political system has been broken since the 80’s. This isn’t a new development.

The American people have been without representation for years. It's accelerated under this Administration. It's a government by and for the ultra wealthy and corporations. All branches have coalesced under the executive - federal courts are trying to be independent. That's anti-American.

I wonder how stupid McConnell’s office thinks the American people are. The claims that he has had several 20 minute conversations with select people, but can’t release a short video proving he is alive is very telling.

Dude, you've waited this long, I mean, you could have done this 40 something days ago, right? I hate the motherfucker too, but if he's not doing his job, what would they do to you Governor? This nice guy bullshit old school ways are why we are here. Do something or get the fuck outta the way!

They arent even trying. That picture is so fake, it might as well have a sasquatch riding a unicorn in it. They did a damn palette swap like some cheap cookie cutter anime. It's honestly insulting that they think we're that stupid.

If Bashear receives no response by Thursday, HE MUST ACT AND APPOINT A SENATOR OR HOLD A SPECIAL ELECTION - WHATEVER KENTUCKY LAW PERMITS. FFS. JFC.

Could the press stop calling these two photos "proof of life" photos? They do not prove a dang thing- except that McConnell is not in good enough shape for a live conversation.

He's not on the job & he's not representing the people who elected him. He isn't running again & should get out of the way. Is McConnell hanging on or is the GOP hanging on to McConnell to avoid having to name an interim Senator. A blank smile doesn't say I'm mentally here! Is it the Rotunda?

The man is gone, he has been for a few years now. Walking someone out to a podium as he falls down none stop is fucking elderly abuse. Not that mitch doesn't deserve worse, its still sick.

What is the governor supposed to do? He cannot appoint anyone; state law requires a special election. There is already an election coming up in less than 100 days. A Republican will win it, just as they would win a special election. Right now, they are without Mitch's vote. Hysterics are childish.

Five states provide that Senate vacancies may be filled only by election. Kentucky is one of them. He can't do what you're asking him to do. What he's doing is denying the GOP a vote until the vacancy is filled after the Nov. election. Even if he calls a special election, the GOP will likely win it.

Regardless of the political calculus on both sides of the aisle, if there are reasonable grounds to suspect an illegal act is being committed, that it should be a non-partisan matter of law that it be investigated and resolved. So hear me out.

If MM really is no longer alive and some entity purporting to be/represent him is drawing his salary (which is funded by the taxpayer) or making public statements/decisions in his capacity as an elected official, well, that sounds like fraud to me, and fraud is illegal.

Furthermore if any person - a public servant or other wise - has said or done anything to perpetuate the belief that MM is alive when he is not, they would be aiding and abetting that fraud. So if 'rule of law' still means anything, the Governor needs to get to the bottom of it. And quick.

MITCH McCONNELL IS DEAD!!! Every single time we supposedly hear from him is a HOAX!!! He’s in COLD STORAGE somewhere & next week whomever is hiding that FACT will release the news HE’S NEVER COMING BACK!!! It’s all a scam so Kentucky Governor Andy Bershear won’t get a chance to appoint his successor

They should be DEMANDING an appearance via video call or a short live interview. At the very least Andy should be taking his ass over there and checking in personally, regardless of the family's wishes

The Dem Gov of Kentucky does not have much latitude here. If he did anything that was construed to be illegal he would be impeached and removed by the GOP supermajority in the Legislature there.

Horseshit. He is the standing governor of the state. The man serves a vital role. His prolonged absence endangers the state. Ergo, it is his duty to ensure the people are represented actively.

I think he had a stroke and is now suffering from stroke induced dementia. He's possibly non-verbal now. They just put his wife next to him, wait for that vacant smile to cross his face, and snap a pic. We won't ever seem him speak publicly again.

So the Senate has absolutely no rules about how long a Senator has to be away on sick leave before his/her seat is declared vacant? Maybe there should be a rule that after a certain number of days, a doctor has to examine the Senator to deterimine if he/she will be able to return to work and when.

Shameful these old white men can’t let go of power even in illness (more likely death or near-death in this case). American politics is a cesspool. Every single person who becomes a politician doesn’t for benefits and power. Every. Single. One.

The mysterious thing to me is why McConnell's people choose to keep it ambiguous when it would be easy to be convincing. My hypothesis is that an interview on live TV would show that McConnell is alive, but completely incapacitated. Like Biden's debate performance, but worse.

Mitch was just heard singing No stop signs,speed limit Nobody's gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody's gonna mess me around Hey, Satan, payin' my dues Hey, Trump, look at me You’ll be following me I'm on the highway to Hell Highway to Hell I'm on the highway to Hell Highway to Hell

Beshear is an establishment Democrat - essentially no different from a Republican. An old FDR-style Democrat would have already appointed the now out of MAGA favor Thomas Massie as McConnell's replacement. Oh well - elect establishment Democrats - win establishment Democrat prizes.

Except, healthcare in the UK isn’t free…y’all pay 10% more in personal taxes than we do in the US to fund that “free” healthcare. I have fantastic insurance and only pay a fraction of that 10%…I can also get in to see a doctor, within 24hrs…

It is possible, I usually don't question if somebody made up what they post rather than taking it from a reliable source. Have to be more critical next time.
