      If you get to keep making a healthy six figure salary so long as no one finds out your boss is brain dead or dead dead, that seems like a strong incentive to keep hush.

      Turns out that if you’re a Senator in the party of NO then there’s little difference between being alive or dead.

      Everone: Please start downvoting Daily Beast stories. It’s the only way to keep this garbage from clogging the News feed.

    4. Normally I’d downvote for Daily Beast but, okay, the article picture is a good chuckle

      And this is why our country will be a permanent shit hole. It took this long??? wtf

      If he is dead, which I seriously doubt, The facility staff he passed at is subject to punishment ranging from misdemeanor to felony. Maybe I am naive, but not sure what ultimate goal would be for not reporting death as required.

      If he is his aids better be arrested for fraud, their job ended with his heart beat.

      they’re trying to decant a replacement Mitch but someone tampered with the genetic dynasty

      Republicans “dead people collecting social security are an evil on society!” Republicans on dead senator collecting pay benefits and pay for his staff. Complete silence.

      McConnell was already planning to retire at the end of this year. So assuming he’s dead, it’s the best case scenario for his aides and his wife. They get to collect their sweet salaries for doing NOTHING for half a year. They don’t give a rats ass if there is no representation in Congress for Kentucky in the meanwhile. It doesn’t hurt their income.

    11. Brave? Ha. S
      pineless, worthless, useles are all better descriptors. Brave is trash. Brave would have been asking that question earlier since we all know Mitch was old as fuck and had health problems 

    12. This really does feel like a trial run for when Trump kicks the bucket. They don’t even need to keep the charade up anymore. They’re just doing it to test the limits now.

      How is it possible for doctors to hide or delay a death? There are legal and possibly criminal ramifications if this is a coverup or conspiracy to defraud the people of Kentucky of representation.

      The taxpaying citizens of Kentucky deserve competent representation in the U.S. Senate.

      Now they are calculating how long they need to wait to tell everyone so that they dont get investigated for fraud.

      I was expecting a death announcement yesterday. A day after the deadline to call a special election.

    17. It would be the easiest thing ever to verify if he’s is alive or not. But that fact that they have been silent is all the proof we need to know the truth.

    18. I just don’t understand what Beshar and those advising him thought they had to lose by declaring an appointment and forcing Republicans to sue over it. This should not be an acceptable situation to anyone on any side.

    19. What a shitty website that is. Like Drudge Report but with someone begging every 5 seconds.

      I honestly dont think hes dead. I dont think they could keep it secret that long. These people are exactly mega-competent. I do believe the guy could be nearly dead/mostly unconscious, or otherwise so sick he couldnt possibly be expected to recover and do his job again.

      if McConnell is on life support that certainly is not fair to his constituents he represents.

      if only Ruth Bader Ginsburg had insisted that she be placed on life support until Biden took office.

    22. -FalseProfessor- on

      We’re past the deadline and they didn’t make an announcement, so the crazy thing is he might actually still be alive.

      He’s probably an invalid or much worse than we have been told, but he might still be “alive” and just hiding.
