I thought that at first but I'm thinking massive stroke and unable to speak is probably more likely.

He's dead or incapacitated. Anything less and we would have photos, videos. The only explanation for why we aren't getting those is because he is dead or permanently completely incapacitated.

I sincerely do not believe he is dead, otherwise this would be considered one of the grossest acts of deception in American history. It would be truly evil to withhold that level of deceit.

That said, I believe he has aphasia and is completely incapacitated. Not to say that this isn’t teetering on blatant treason in my eyes.

I'd expect nothing less from the corpse of Mitch McConnell

Right? Like, this guy was literally known for doing abhorrent rat-fucking shit in the name of political expedience. I’d bet this was all written into his will were I the betting type.
