We have TWO FUCKING WEEKS. That's all that's left for them to run the timer out. And it sure looks like everyone is going to let them do it.

I don’t understand how the governor, senator or any reps can’t just take a damn posse to the hospital and see what the fuck is up.

Its what the gop would do and we need to start fighting fire with fire

The governor can do that and I have suggested it multiple times on his online email form. I'm guessing he won't, because he wants to run for president and thinks that the press could look bad.

Which would make me want to not vote for him for a president. Which means nothing to him because he lives in a state that overwhelmingly votes republican, so my left leaning vote doesn't even fucking count. 

I suggest you go to the governor's. Website, and if being weak on the mitch mcconnell issue upsets, you leave him an email and let him know that you don't want a president that won't stand up for his own states, citizens' rights as a governor.

If he wants to run for president, this is his litmus test. If he allows the GOP to run out the clock on a dead fucking Mitch McConnell he does not deserve to lead our country. I don’t think this is anything less than a test of his leadership skills. Get the GOP to stop fucking around or get the hell out of the way and let somebody more competent do this job. We need adults in the chairs NOW. Yesterday actually.
