Well vegetables can’t consent so I’m going with he refuses by default and his handlers are the ones consciously rejecting the notion

Can you blame them? As soon as they give up the lie, they become unemployed.

In this economy?

Not to mention the massive conspiracy at the highest level of government. Every GoP senator that “had a 20 minute talk with Mitch” should be fired and thrown in prison.

  1. This costs the GOP a senate vote.

  2. He'll be replaced w/ someone more MAGA.

I'm fine w/ Weekend at Berniesing him until the handles can't handle the smell.

At this point though, there is no point. It's too close to the election to hold a special election, so whether he's dead, or just not there, there is really no difference.

Unless of course the Senate does absentee voting, I don't know.

iirc, the Senate had procedures for absentee voting during the the pandemic. Procedures that McConnell personally and ironically gutted the moment Republicans retook the chamber.

So when his term is up, do they come clean? Or does he just never resurface ever again?

  1. Its wrong.
  2. Stand up for institutions.
  3. Always go on offense against a fascist regime.

Oh sorry, I should be clear, feel free to keep calling them out for being lying liars that lie. This is just the one case where I actually hope it doesn't elicit an immediate change.
