Please remember that it doesn't matter if Mitch is dead or not, he is demonstrably unable to serve and, according to the law, should be replaced.

When has the law ever mattered to MAGAts?

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago

When democrats were in power, but not because they chose for it to matter. It only matters when they're being forced to obey it.

Edit: I was wrong about the timeline here; the video was made BEFORE he was hospitalized, I just happened to see it a while AFTER and made a false connection in my head. Sorry about that

~~They still have him out there casting votes, regardless of his ability. Less than a week ago I saw a video where he voted 'incorrectly' and watched as all the aides scrambled to tell him to shut the fuck up and demand that "that one doesn't count" to the room. I've literally seen 4 years olds playing hide and seek with a better sense of awareness, fairness, and object permanence than our incompetent overlords~~

I think you're talking about 10 days before, or are there different ones?

Senator Mitch McConnell was showing signs of utter confusion 10 days before he was hospitalized ... voting incorrectly and even getting the Senate Clerk to signal yea or nay.

Charlie turned up some pretty shocking videos from June 4th, when the Senate had a marathon session called vote-a-rama, where Senators voted 29 times during an 18-hour session.

Yeah, you're right. I just happened to see the video a while AFTER he was hospitalized and made a connection that wasn't there

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is flat out wrong though. There are no videos of him from after his "hospitalisation" (death).

You are confusing it with videos of him prior to that.

Yeah, you're right. I just happened to see the video a while AFTER he was hospitalized and made a connection that wasn't there

Oh! I didn't know they brought him out. Weekend at Bernie's style, or is he actually blinking and shit?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Because it isn't true. There are no such videos of him from after his "hospitalisation".

~~He's blinking and kinda talking i think? Idk, he was pretty much confined to his wheelchair and looked extremely confused for most of it~~

[–] Spaceballstheusername@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you're thinking of an old video of him in a wheelchair, he still hasn't been seen in public since he went into the hospital.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, you're right. I just happened to see the video a while AFTER he was hospitalized and made a connection that wasn't there

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was he in that video?

~~He was, though he was mostly confined to a wheelchair and looked extremely confused for most of it~~

All good my friend.
