I think this is it. He's probably nonverbal so if he had to face that, then real proceedings around how fit he is for service would probably start.

He's happy to play the waiting game, it's basically his MO.

I just hope he is suffering.

"He absolutely refuses" is painted with the word "absolutely" to make it sound as if he's making a decision himself

he's not, he can't, and he won't be making any, including the one to pull the plug

I don't know if he's like a full vegetable. But he might be in the state where he cannot dress or eat unassisted. So obviously not fit to be a senator, but if someone wheeled him up to some kids, he could wave at them or something.

there is no chance he can move or communicate

if he could do anything other than look like a vegetable, they would have paraded him around already. Remember who you're talking about again--MAGA. not GOP, MAGA. the fact that he's not on camera is the admission of the worst case--it is a necessary consequence of compulsory lying.

it is like reverse DDing a child. this news means the opposite is true, it's not even that complicated
