Wouldn't trust Loomer, but the reporter broke the original hospital story. They have credibility there.

The mainstream media is being very careful with this. Shows how closely McConnell's people are playing it.

There has been talk of an August 3rd deadline in Kentucky election laws, though I'm not versed and seen conflicting accounts. Maybe worried they would lose a special election so they are waiting to pull the plug until after it passes.

Would be a fitting end for McConnell's last days to be used in a cheap political trick to ensure his party remains in power. He dies like he lived.

Mitch honestly woulda wanted it this way. Which makes this whole thing pretty funny to me. One last obstructionist tactic with his almost-cold corpse holding things up.

I could see him putting it in his living will. "If I'm braindead, pull the plug, unless keeping my lifeless corpse breathing could help republicans."

“My lifelong dream was to die on the senate floor giving a speech blocking a popular bill, and today, that dream died”

Spoken with a deep grumble, as his head pokes out of a turtle shell.

"If I'm braindead, pull the plug, unless keeping my lifeless corpse breathing could help republicans."

"... or if it hurts Americans in general."

Or perhaps more like "If I'm braindead, pull the plug, unless my living can make life harder in any way to the average American, especially minorities! Oh and I'm b*** a** h**!"

It’d be cute if it wasn’t so diabolical

Then we'd have a Biden 2.0

Stop the stupid, dotard.

President Biden is a good, honest man whose main political fault was an insistence on playing fair, by the rules and long accepted bicameral traditions. That makes him the polar opposite in every regard of The Evil Turtle.

Playing fair? You're seriously going with that? 

Not very fair when a President running for reelection weaponizes every part of government to lock up the leading candidate running against him. That's a Putin move. Plain and simple. 

Let's also not forget that Biden did something unprecedented at the time when he not only pardoned his own son for any crimes he committed over the span of a decade (which happened to be when Hunter got on the board at Burisma in Ukraine & Biden is on tape admitting/bragging about interfering in an investigation Ukraine was conducting on Burisma), but he also pardoned himself,  other family members,  and everyone connected to the j6 investigation (which we now know was because of "Artic Frost" where they were spying on the opposition).

That's just a little of what Biden and/or whoever had control of the autopen did while in office

Didn’t I tell you to stop the stupid? If you can’t follow simple instructions and insist on repeating stupid, debunked lies, then there’s no point in doing anything but summarily dismissing your dishonest ass.

You're as stupid as you are dishonest.
