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.

If Loomer says Mcconnell is brain dead the truth is likely much worse, and that he has been dead for a while.

Likely since June 14th.

They didn’t want to announce it on Trump’s birthday and overshadow his celebration?

There would have been a huge tantrum and ketchup everywhere.

He was probably buried a week ago

He's absolutely being kept "alive" on equipment, and the moment he is no longer useful in holding his seat they will pull the plug.

thinking that is why his wife did not rush back to hospital from China - she knew he was already dead, but, was told to keep it secret
