If you're hiding a corpse until Aug 4 to avoid a special election, you may be committing election fraud.

Luigi time?
herejusttopointouterrors
ah yes, surely this time there'll be consequences. wonder if the magats ever get tired of telling us about their wrongdoings and laughing at us being able to do NOTHING about it except thoughts and prayers for the mid terms? they've successfully owned the libs. have for a while

"it's election interference interference!! you're interfering on our election interference and we just made it illegal"

Eh, this image says SATIRE on it. They're fucked but you still gotta give them a few days to reach this point for real.

I mean why not name his long estranged sister at this point?

Schrodinger's Senator exorcise is getting too ironic for words, if he is alive everything will just get delayed again.

His face is def fluctuating among the residences of the sub-quantum states.

Of all the comments and memes, I liked Lich McConnell the best. Somehow, he returned... ?

They aren't even trying. With AI, it would be a matter of 20 minutes of work to create a video of properly aged Mitch, talking in his voice, about a subject that just happened. Mitch has been in the hospital for long enough, with undisclosed health issues, no word when he will be released from the hospital let alone when he will return to work. We don't even need to know now whether he is alive or not. What we know is that he is no longer capable of doing his job. Right now. He can't do his job.

That's Senator Rigor Tortoise to you
CallMeMcGyver
They do know that an autopsy can determine when he became brain dead? It doesn't matter how long the body is kept alive, if the brain is dead, he's dead and hiding that is a crime.
ChelVanin
Never bet on them knowing things.
ButtscratchMcPherson
Pretty sure that's not how it works.

Even though it says "SATIRE" right on the image I'm not convinced it's satire.

"The Onion" Syndrome. No matter how stupid and/or farfetched you THINK you're being, someone in power will do something at least as stupid, making your satirical story true.

GOP aim is to flood the zone with shit so the normies don't (and can't) figure out what is going on

You're alive, or so you say,
Turtle, turtle, turtle,
You've been dead for 30 days

This moment is Andy Beshear’s test as a governor. He needs to force this to a head in the next couple of days and get the ball rolling on filling that seat.
Geoffron
There's no reason to do it early. If he calls the special election and then McConnell somehow is alive, he looks like a fool. The longer he waits, the more likely that McConnell is dead. He's got until August.
Corrodias
1) A fool is the man who has an opportunity to be seen taking action, at no personal risk, and chooses not to. He can force McConnell out of hiding. He can call him a liar to his face. Or I guess he can shrink away and pretend nothing's happening, but boy, would I be more eager to vote for the man who took the former action, not the latter! 2) Why should he wait until August?
OneUniverse
Appoint someone conditionally. That way the clock stops.
chatawillybilly
Beshear, get a warrant to enter McConnell's room either the hospital or the morgue and report back.
mindstorm8191
He might not have the power to. In 2020 the KY Congress kneecapped Beshear's powers because they didn't like him doing things to keep Covid under control.
I don't know what all they did to restrict Beshear or what he can do at this point; but it might come down to the KY Congress to decide, instead of the governor (which I believe they're mostly GOP so just wouldn't happen)
ChelVanin
That legislation is untested, and the governor and his lawyers maintain it’s unconstitutional. He’s going to appoint somebody whether they like it or not.
mindstorm8191
Has he actually said he would? I haven't heard anything; I just checked his BlueSky account and he hasn't said anything
ChelVanin
I heard him say it on MS Now, otherwise I would provide a link.
azgrak1
He needs to walk into McConnell’s room. Why he hasn’t done it yet I don’t know. I’m starting to lose respect for him. This is a problem with a very simple solution.
BluePaladin42
He should call the special election. If Mitch is alive he can prove it by either emerging or letting the governor meet him in person. Otherwise run the election. Or even just appoint someone. Bring that law that says he can't to court, it's constitutionality is suspect.
ButtscratchMcPherson
Because he needs a legal reason to just go wandering around a hospital and into any room he feels like.
lujotu
Nobody said anything about wandering around hospitals. Call the special election if McConnell is alive, he'll show up to prove it.
ButtscratchMcPherson
lujotu
Well dammit. I thought I even checked to make sure, still ended up on the wrong thread. My bad.
Dimension09
Verifying living status of a Senator isn't enough? There is no type of law that dead senators cant serve?
ButtscratchMcPherson
Weirdly/stupidly enough? No. If he was dead and at a hospital they'd have to notify/declare him dead. No hospital is going to hide a dead body for anyone. But if he's incapacitated medical disclosure laws limit what they can announce/confirm. And the laws for the governor to investigate if he's a vegetable are limited. No one really considered the possibility of moronic situation like this, where a scumbag party would hide the medical status of a senator for partisan reasons.
