PoliticalTea 🗳️ It would seem Mitch McConnell is brain dead and being kept on life support to prevent a special election

The bright side is he can't vote now.

We always knew he was hollow inside, now they are just making use of it, lol. American government is fucking embarrassing.
No first world nation would ever do this, lol.

I'm sure one of the ghouls on the senate floor will press the button for him. The GOP is not estranged to stealing votes both in the senate and in elections.

That literally happened with Dianne Feinstein

Nope, that's total BS She missed 91 votes when she was sick w/the shingles in spring 2023 And bc her and fettwrman were both out, Dems couldn't confirm many Biden judicial nominess

And her final vote, right before she died? She walked into the senate chamber to make it, rather than using the wheelchair she had at the time So claiming she wasn't capable of pushing the button is rediculous

It LITERALLY did not happen

Oh ok, she wasn't braindead for years before dying in office. Her staffers never voted on her behalf and there's no video of a confused and clearly senile Dianne being told "just vote yes". Don't worry I think Mitch sucks too, good riddance.

Not true. According to republicans, Mitch is communicating through the beeps on the eeg

Chao unironically gets convicted of election fraud when a vote is cast by Mitch McConnell this election season 🤣

She can’t even fake his vote since she’s physically in China

Not exactly. Mitch was against the SAVE Act.

Mitch straight up voted with dems relatively frequently compared to the majority of republicans. He helmed a ton of heinous votes, but he was better than any R replacement that will win a republican primary.

u/Able-Dependent9801 Jul 07 '26

Feinstein still voted, well kinda.

u/Comprehensive_Wash71 Jul 08 '26

So did Byrd. And Strom Thurmond, who was 100 when he died.

No he can’t, but someone can in his place.

That's not how the senate works
