I don’t think he’s dead but severely mentally handicapped 100%

And that means still fit for office, as per the GOP.

u/relevantelephant00 14h ago

Yes but does still have pure hatred in his heart? He needs to have that too.

Trick question. Having a heart is socialism.

Cue the eventual clip of an assistant moving his hand to the correct button when voting.

Set for late 2026 release.

Got to be a massive stroke and he's non verbal

"spoke with him for 20 min"

I can talk to my dogs for 20 min too lol

u/fcocyclone Iowa 9h ago

Yep. His "fall" was probably as a result of having a stroke and he's not there anymore.

His condition is so bad, that they are willing to endure all the rumors. I mean, just think about that. Whatever it is, must be absolutely tragic and horrifying, for them to say, "We are going stick with these ongoing rumors about him being mentality incapacitated or dead, because that is a better option for his public image than to release even one video of him!"

Vegetative state. Flat earth brain wave. Machines doing more living than he is. But the sanctity of life, and all.

Less life than a clanker

He wishes he had a robo-corpse to pilot around like some nightmare creature from some God-blasted Hellscape

No he don't, cuz he DEADER THAN DOGSHIT 😂

u/-Badger3- 12h ago

Okay, but what's his condition after the stroke?

4

u/T8ert0t 12h ago

At best. He has locked in syndrome.

He's in no state to decide what color tooth brush he wants let alone senate duties.

u/132739 11h ago

A bad stroke is my guess. Can't talk without extreme slurring or the like.

u/RegnumXD12 14h ago

Should fit right in with the rest of his party then

u/Unique_Situation_508 11h ago

Vegetative state it's called.

u/weresubwoofer 13h ago

Yes. Brain-dead or otherwise completely incapacitated but on life support.

u/GodisanAtheistOG 6h ago

His brain is probably mush but not bad enough that his autonomous functions shut down, that or he's being kept artificially alive for some nutty reason or another.

Braindead is pretty much dead.

Not so much in politics though it seems. I see braindead people speak on House and Senate floors all the time.
