I spoke to Mitch this morning for 17 minutes. We talked about Iran and the Supreme Court. Mitch says he regrets supporting this administration and creating partisan division. He said that he supports a woman’s right to choose and gun control.
I was there too, Turtle said he regrets stealing that Supreme Court seat and packing the Court as well.

How do we even know he is alive?
Because a senator said he spoke to McConnell?
I think we’re past the point of coma speculation.
Pro
You can speak to someone in a coma - they just can’t speak back
The real answer is that he can’t die or step down before Aug 4 or there will be a special election to fill his seat and Tom Massie will win.

How much do you want to bet that if any of those folks actually spoke on the phone to someone they believed was McConnell, it was actually an AI deepfake of him?
Pro
It’s dumber than that - they just spoke into the phone for 20min and Mitch said nothing. But they “talked to him” for 20min.
Not replaced. You’d be on STD, get 2/3 of your salary, and your coworkers would pick up the slack. This will be the R version of Diane Feinstein
The MAGA delusion will be studied in psychiatry textbooks for decades to come

Don’t start 💩
It’s almost like you can get a college degree and a high paying job and know nothing about how the real world works… amazing.
A Senator can only be removed in the middle of their term by impeachment, resignation, or death. It’s very rare we have a situation like this and you don’t remove the protection of the office for an outlier. If McConnell is incapacitated and can’t resign then the seat stays his until his term is up.
The alternative this to creat a way of removing a Senator other than through impeachment… and that would creat all kinds of bad incentives.

Our system is broken and run by people the Boomers call “Gram-Gram” and “Pop-Pop” - get em’ out when they are on machines and make way for at least someone who had a TV growing up…
