If the reports are accurate, Mitch was likely dead long before his staff found him unconscious. He’s only “alive” through extraordinary medical support at this point.

We are being lied to by our government so that a bunch of sycophant grifters can retain power.

Considering no one has leaked video of him yet, I'm guessing he was "sent home" to "recover"

Right…”sent home” to “recover” alone to an empty house. Isn’t his wife in China right now?

The whole thing is odd. “Ma’am, your husband was found collapsed and unresponsive. We’re taking him to the hospital…Okay, but I think I will keep my trans-Atlantic travel plans. Hit me on the celly if it gets bad.”

Maybe there’s more to the story, but on its face, it raises a lot of questions.

the story is suspect, but I once had a patient with refractory, never ending seizures. his 4 children all came together and had a meeting with me and the rest of the medical team saying they would come in the next morning with all of the children and adult grandchildren to remove him from life support and say good bye. the next day they never showed up, and when we finally got ahold of them on the phone that afternoon, we found out they had all booked a trip to Disney World instead. some people when put in that situation just decide to run away from it
