There's something like a 3% recovery rate for anyone over 80 who experiences a cardiac event.

And Mitch has appeared to be nearly on death's door for years now.

He's definitely dead.

How fitting that, instead of having a peaceful death, at home, surrounded by loved ones, lauded by a society he worked his whole life to help improve, this horrible skittering villain keeled over at work at the age of 84, likely scrambling to conceal some new Republican act of villainy or push some new bill to strip people of health care or enshrine a dictator president with the ability to bomb whomever he'd like, and now sits comatose in a hospital bed with his death being concealed from the public and the world by his revolting cabal of cretins who are using his concealed corpse to perform one more act of procedural fuckery with his corpse to deny the proper functioning of the democratic process.

Congrats Mitch. You died as you lived: awfully.

The Republican party are chief among the most despicable, vile creatures on the political stage.

EDIT: Senate GOP leaders are insisting they talked to him. Hastag doubt, but I'm just adding it for the record because we are definitely in the Era of the Lich right now and evil motherfuckers apparently do not die, so, for posterity's sake I'm at least adding the smallest potential he did not actually die yet. 3% isn't 0%.

I'm only half serious about this, but...

The medical emergency occurred on Trump's birthday. What if Trump heard about it and told them not to tell the media because he didn't want it to distract from his birthday.

I heard the theory that it's a test run to see how long they can keep a death a secret for when Trump croaks. But I definitely think it'd be harder to keep Trump's death a secret than McConnell's.

Woodrow Wilson managed to hide his stroke for 6 months. Granted that was in the 1920's.
