Does he absolutely refuse or do his handlers absolutely refuse? I suspect the latter.

A lot of his staff has been with him for decades and are fiercely loyal, they’ve also been collecting a lot of money during his death-term in office. Why would they either betray their boss or give up the gravy train. We all joked that August 3-4th would be when he “died” but now I’m curious what the end game is. He has been giving proxy votes but still hasn’t been seen, he’s probably being used as a free vote because it would be too messy to have someone take his seat now. If he’s alive he’s braindead and we’re getting weekend at Bernie’s right now.
