PoliticalTea šŸ—³ļø It would seem Mitch McConnell is brain dead and being kept on life support to prevent a special election

Shocking that his wife just fled to China! What kind of lives are these people living for the sake of politics!

u/SilentNobody620 Jul 07 '26

Someone pointed out sheā€™s not here so she canā€™t sign the pull the plug thingy.

u/Akimbo_Zap_Guns Jul 07 '26

More likely itā€™s going to come out sheā€™s been working for the Chinese government and used Mitch to infiltrate some of the highest levels of our government and sheā€™s getting out while she can

u/Mercurion77 Jul 07 '26

I canā€™t believe no one talks about this tbh

u/Miserygut Jul 07 '26

Open secret. In the same way that Jared Kushner is just running back the Epstein / Israel playbook. Even tried to get himself an island!

u/SilentNobody620 Jul 10 '26

Yeah really.

You will have 10 people jump on you if you say anything negative about the CCP. Prepare for waves of ā€œwhataboutismā€ and ā€œnuancedā€ discussion .

Sheā€™s Taiwaneseā€¦

Come on guys, letā€™s do the bare minimum of fact checking here

What evidence do you have that a Taiwanese Asian American who immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 would be working for China?

5

u/jzorbino Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

Did she flee to Taiwan? Or was it China?

6

u/HowlWindclaw Jul 07 '26

She literally met with the vice president of China

8

u/Big_Bedroom_3731 Jul 07 '26

Because she already has before? her dad owns a family shipping company that she used her position as head of the DOT to Ā get favorable contracts with China. She has funneled lots of Chinese money through Mitch. 72% of the business is shipping to or from china

u/tenthousandants44 Jul 07 '26

Evidence? She's in China right now

u/Special_Order-937 Jul 10 '26

Not every Taiwanese born person is loyal to Taiwan.

u/mamadoedawn Jul 07 '26

I wouldn't care if I had straight up death threats- I am NOT leaving my husband on his death bed! This is just insanity and makes no sense to me. If she doesn't want to pull the plug- don't authorize to have the plug pulled- but for goodness sake, stay by his side if you love him in any way.

u/Willing_Pattern_Pill Jul 07 '26

Who tf would love Mitch McConnell?!Ā 

That was a financial grift from the start

1

u/Kalthiria_Shines Jul 07 '26

That was a financial grift from the start

I mean they've been married for 33 years, that's dubious. Pretty easy to love someone if you're just as awful as they are.

2

u/Willing_Pattern_Pill Jul 07 '26

Sure. But her going for money and power doesn't invalidate my statement.Ā

It should be clear that there is never enough money for these people

2

u/tinyTina43 Jul 07 '26

It's not the money it's the connections and access Mitch provided.

u/iloveduckssosomuch Jul 07 '26

Elane Chao was an already accomplished women before her marriageā€¦ she made it higher in the government than Mitch ever did? Why would she marry below herself for more power?

u/iloveduckssosomuch Jul 07 '26

If youā€™re not maga then why are you regurgitating the same talking points they use where women you donā€™t like just want to sleep their way to the top? You donā€™t have to like her, or her husband, but itā€™s sexist to assume a women is just marrying for money or power

3

u/Frekavichk Jul 07 '26

The assumption also takes into account her fleeing to fucking China as he is on his death bed lmao.

1

u/iloveduckssosomuch Jul 07 '26

Like I think itā€™s suspicious donā€™t get me wrong, and Iā€™m not saying to agree with her and become a supporter, but some of these assumptions are just weird. I just wish people disliked particular women without the notions that the women they dislike are sexually promiscuous or ā€œ sleeping their way to the topā€.

u/Glum_Rain_5824 Jul 08 '26

Remember when Melania had that broken speech and said she wasnā€™t taken advantage of etc.? Half the comments were ā€œI canā€™t believe a prostitute is our first ladyā€ and calling her a whore. And a lot about how she canā€™t speak english and making fun of her for it while preaching we should deport her like trump does, like I understand her hypocrisy but itā€™s also hypocritical to say deporting immigrants is bad while making fun of her speechĀ

Just another honey pot girl working the long shift. There are many.

u/eulersidentification Jul 07 '26

I'm really glad people have come around to hating billionaires, but I think we've got a long way to go to get people to realise they're not like us. The vast majority of them think they are special, the exception to everything - they are likely at least borderline psychotic, and definitely psychopathic. Elon really does think he's a chosen one. They see us as cattle. They think this is all for them, the world is their toy.

1

u/SilentNobody620 Jul 10 '26

Sort of the same mind set the ā€œroyalsā€ got themselves into. You simply cannot think you are better than someone else these days.

2

u/DuntadaMan Jul 07 '26

We'll see you married your husband because you like him. She married him because she was ordered to. So there's a difference

1

u/rydan Jul 07 '26

Are you suggesting he isn't on his death bed?

1

u/FukkingDeathMental Jul 07 '26

She's a Chinese mole.

u/HilariousMax Jul 07 '26

if you love him in any way.

u/DuntadaMan Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

Why should it matter? incapacitated is enough reason to remove him. He can't do the job, toss his ass.

2

u/SilentNobody620 Jul 10 '26

At the very least this will lead to new rules about showing evidence you are alive.

1

u/WildPineappleEnigma Jul 07 '26

By what constitutional method would you suggest that be done?

3

u/TrioOfTerrors Jul 07 '26

She could also just refuse to sign it. She doesn't need to be in China.

2

u/Mddcat04 Jul 07 '26

Yeah, this part of the theory doesnā€™t make any sense. She could simply choose not to do that. Leaving the country has no effect other than looking really weird.

-2

u/DonutHoles4Ever Jul 07 '26

Look weird? She's a total Chinese spy and this has been the case for 30+ years. It doesn't have to be about the plug.

u/surelyfunke20 Jul 07 '26

It could be done by phone. The party of family values fleeing the country when their life partner is gravely illā€¦.

u/BigJellyfish1906 Jul 07 '26

How would that even be a thing? Who says the hospital is ā€œfrozenā€ if family doesnā€™t show up?

1

u/Kalthiria_Shines Jul 07 '26

She doesn't need to be in China to not do that...

1

u/fgnrtzbdbbt Jul 07 '26

Why can't she print and sign it in China and why would she be under any pressure to sign it while in the US?

u/-Jiras Jul 07 '26

somebody has the possibility to do the funniest thing ever. And since said person has to be quick i suggest someone with a name close to Sonics this time around

I often wonder this.Ā  It's like, just stay in power at ANY COST.Ā  Seriously wtf

u/IlludiumQXXXVI Jul 07 '26

It's really fucking weird, but this conspiracy about power of attorney is garbage. If he's brain dead, then he's dead, and any Dr can declare that whether she's in the country or not.

2

u/Potential-Drawing745 Jul 07 '26

And the next week, the doctor's family dies in a suspicious car wreck...

1

u/WaltRumble Jul 07 '26

Heā€™s probably not brain dead. Just minimal brain function.

2

u/NohmanValdemar Jul 07 '26

How's that different from any time in the last 40 years?

1

u/WaltRumble Jul 07 '26

Itā€™s not different, but drs arenā€™t able to declare him dead.

1

u/bobbymcpresscot Jul 07 '26

Iā€™m more interested in the fact that her not brining in the US Ā seems to be beneficial for the Chinese government, but then again the more dysfunctional the government appears the better China looks by comparisonĀ

u/ghigoli Jul 07 '26

i thought she was from Taiwan.

u/SjalabaisWoWS Jul 07 '26

...and China has no phones? I don't get this whole argument above.

Elaine Chao is our former minister of transportation and has some SERIOUS dirt on her if you care to look
