I’ve seen some conspiracy theories that he’s actually dead and they’re hiding it to prevent Kentucky’s Democratic governor from sending a Democrat to Washington to replace him, but that doesn’t even make sense, as Kentucky is one of the few states where the governor doesn’t appoint remainder-of-term Congressional replacements… it’d be a special election instead.
The Governor vetoed that bill, saying it goes against the State Constitution. So, there is every possibility the Governor might ignore the bill, and appoint someone anyway, and let the courts sort it out.
Although I think it’s more likely that the Governor simply says that it’s too close to November to hold a special election. That seat is up for grabs in that election anyway, there are already candidates and everything. Beshear could just say that is also the special election, and leave the seat vacant for a few months. That would mean whoever wins that election takes the seat right away, so if Democrats pull off an upset it would have an immediate effect.
Only mildly weirder than what they did with Dianne Feinstein. These fucking people around them are god damned vultures, doesn’t matter the party. They will keep these people in office well beyond where their faculties are working at any capacity.
The fucking aides, pages, interns, consultants… Just everyone surrounding these elderly people are god damned vampires.
Like I know, fuck Mitch and send him packing to hell, but the breadth of this problem isn’t discussed nearly as much as we discuss elderly in positions of power in general. Donald Trump is far from the first and won’t be the last person in a position of power that they Weekend at Bernie’s the shit out of until the body stinks too badly because it’s become bloated and rotten.
Additionally… no one currently knows specifically what’s going on with him, he’s been MIA for three weeks now.
His spokespeople keep saying that he’s recovering from a medical incident but no one knows which hospital or in general where he is.

The whole thing is super-weird.
I think he’s waiting for children to eat his food.
What movie is that from? I recognize it from my 8th grade french class, however weird that may be.
Looks like Pan’s Labyrinth.
Yep Pan’s Labyrinth. They played that for you in 8th grade…in school? That’s pretty awesome. Would not expect that.
I read that EMS responded to a cardiac arrest at his address. If that’s the case, I’m confident he’ll never leave the hospital.

Yeah it’s a Democratic governor. Ain’t no way they’ve enough spine to appoint someone and let the courts sort it out.
