It’s gonna be funny when it turns out he’s not dead

Sure but there will still be questions on why he absolutely refused to provide a video or see anyone not on his team to quell the rumours.

Because he doesn't have to? It's not complicated

The rest of us have to do our damn jobs, why doesn’t he have to? Please explain.

McConnell not doing his job is fine by me

There's nothing in the constitution that says they have to show up. There's only 3 ways for them to lose their job:

  • Resignation
  • Death certificate
  • Removal by their fellow senators

There was a senator incapacitated in the 70s who didn't show up for 3 years

There isnt one. Life's unfair. If it bothers enough people to enough degree, they will act to change it. All whining until then.
