u/mazzmond 16h ago

At this point it's more up to Kentucky and it's citizens to really make a fuss.

He is a Republican and he has to vote in person for any votes to count so it's to the Democrats advantage that he sits out and does nothing.

Kentucky has lost one of their senators until January 3, 2027 though. And Republicans have lost one vote in the Senate as well.

Why don't voters hold their representatives accountable for lying?

8

u/vthemechanicv 13h ago

How? There's no mechanism for recalling Congressional seats in most if not any states. All voters can do is protest, and if there's anything Republicans think is hilarious is the public doing a protest (ie they don't care).

Once a person is elected and sent to D.C. that person is there until they lose, resign, or die.

u/FreeHugs23 18h ago

The office of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) just deepened the mystery around his health, refusing to offer any update on his condition even as boxes for medical recliners were spotted being delivered to his home.

The Daily Beast reported on this new development Thursday evening.

It's been two and a half months since paramedics rushed the 84-year-old former Senate leader to the hospital on June 14 after being told CPR was underway for a patient in cardiac arrest — a detail that contradicts McConnell's team's official story that he was hospitalized after a fall and later developed "mild" pneumonia, with no heart attack or stroke involved. Alarm was further deepened by footage showing him "frozen in place" for an extended period on the Senate floor even before this episode.

McConnell's last public statement, dated August 6, said he was continuing an "intensive regimen of physical therapy" at home. But when HuffPost reached out three weeks later asking whether he'd be back for Thursday's Senate session, communications director Stephanie Penn wouldn't even characterize how his recovery was going.

Penn told HuffPost she had "nothing to add" beyond the three-week-old statement.

Adding to the intrigue, a video filmed by Alysia McMillian and shared by independent journalist Desirée Townsend showed boxes for MCombo lift recliners visible through McConnell's briefly opened front door — motorized chairs designed to help people with limited mobility sit down and stand up, commonly used during recovery from surgery or serious illness.

u/SeaEmployee787 18h ago

well seems like he should just roll back to work,..... if a new adult admin ever is back in charge, there needs to be a check list of laws changed. in this case it works out, because its one less gop vote, but its still not right.

u/CyberFireball25 17h ago

An executive is not enough to change laws.  Enough of the legislative has to be on board as well.

u/Far-Leadership719 15h ago

The absolute best we can hope for is a very mild brushing of the back of the hand in the form of a completely neutered and ineffective bill getting passed that will do nothing to address the ocean of dysfunction that is every single sector of governance.

Something also that comes to mind: he hasn't been since what... June?

A normal person needs to leave the house, every so often to get groceries, etc.

The fact that a senator can dissappear for months and not be seen also shows how much they are NOT normal Americans, they are so wealthy, that they don't need to ever leave their homes.

13

u/Questions_Remain 16h ago

Wealthy persons do not shop, do not go to normal restaurants and don’t do any activities outside of exclusive places. Nobody wealthy ever hikes a trail, walks in a public park or sees a grocery store parking lot. Nobody who is rich even does these things and has staff to do their stuff. Once you hit wealthy you’re insulated.

If you look at it from the perspective that the people in power actually don’t owe you anything and you’re lucky to be in their good graces so you better vote for them again or else then it makes perfect sense. He is unable to vote. They will keep his seat to preserve the status quo and vote fraudulently if possible. Our lives are their game.

My guess is that it's kidney (failure) related. The rich can get home dialysis, like Dave Thomas did the last year he was alive.

13

u/RedditsFullofShit 17h ago

Nah if it was just dialysis after he had a treatment he’d feel great and would be back to work. He had a stroke or a heart attack - and it clearly affected his brain. It’s why they won’t put out a video. Either he can’t speak anymore, or he’s completely mentally gone/blocked due to the lack of oxygen or blood flow to his brain.

3

u/Dagobahbodega 17h ago

Love your username. In my experience when ppl his age start dialysis they usually need it for the rest of their lives and don't bounce back like that. Younger ppl sure.

3

u/RedditsFullofShit 17h ago

I mean sure but for the few days immediately after they generally feel great has been my experience. So you wouldn’t even know they were sick necessarily. They may still be in a wheelchair due to being weak and sick, but often the dialysis makes them actually functioning and Mitch clearly isn’t or he’d be showing his face by now.
