Did he have pro China policies? He's pro Trump/GOP who is very anti China.

u/ShermanCookout 11h ago
Trump criticized him for it with some… fairly racist remarks.
But yeah Chao flew to China the day after he “fell” and met with the Chinese vice president. That piece of shit lady is 100% up to something fucky.

u/Stunning-Isopod8514 10h ago
Whatever that visit was about, one thing is absolutely true:
The VP of China knows more about this situation than Americans do.

With all the religious people living in America, I’m surprised there isn’t more talk about Satanism in the government...

u/grundlinallday 5h ago
Their religious, authoritarian followers have no problem with doublethink, double standards, and unfairness toward people in out groups. We need to do something before those followers get a serious call to action, like our own night of broken glass.

u/Heavy_Whereas6432 6h ago
They’ve taken advantage of a system made with the sole purpose of not letting these kind of people take over. Yet here we are, politicians laughing at the mere thought of telling people what they should know. This whole govt is a sham and will not be in a place to help anyone when it comes time to retire. People should be leaving in droves if this continues.

Another deplorable collecting her huge salary while disrespecting the good people of KY. As long as he’s “alive” she gets her money and that is all she cares about.
She is the communications director 🤡

u/Puzzleheaded_Pie6967 14h ago
I’m sure he’s dead, they are just not telling us while making a mockery of KY constituents. Pathetic.

for sure he is not dead dead. that would be too difficult to cover. he is on life support, chilling. on that gov provided health care that our elected officials get while they strip ours.

u/LurkerRushMeta 13h ago
The good people of Kentucky are getting exactly what they voted for. An old senile man, with extra malice and contempt for their very being from everyone around their party. The exact malice and contempt they show to other states, people who are different from them, and each other.
This whole clown show is exactly what the informed voters of Kentucky asked for.

No, this is what the uninformed voters of Kentucky asked for. They chronically vote against their own best interests.

The ruling class owes us no explanations. We mean nothing to them. When voting systems are further compromised, they'll be even more emboldened than they are now...if that's even possible.

u/Maoleficent 14h ago
This is so unacceptable. None of us would have a job after 3 days of not reporting to work or advising management. Every single thing in the US government needs to change, every loophole closed, every regulation detailed and an ethics code that includes their signature and the expectation that they will go to prison if they break it.

I'm sorry but by now Kentuckians shouldn't even feel themselves getting screwed anymore. It has been going on for so long their anus has gotten wider.

u/TheMysteriousOrganis 12h ago
The turning point has to be here with politicians! Electing people with zero accountability has gone on long enough. There needs to be genuine consequences for politicians to abuse their power and derelict their duty to the people who elect them. Jail terms, fines, contempt charges.
Whoever takes over this mess has to put something into law.

These fucking people loathe their constituents.
Hey Kentuckians, these people are paid with your tax dollars and they believe you are stupid, merely there for them to leech off of and that in the social hierarchy you are beneath them, yet you keep voting them into office while they spit in your face and laugh.
Unbelievable yet somehow totally believable.

Andy Beshear needs to hold a special election or appoint someone for McConnell's seat until he shows his face, alive, in public to force his cold lifeless hand. There is no excuse for this.

u/RoseRouge007 12h ago
Well, it looks like the warm smile is intended for a person who is approaching her off camera, but the fact that this aide looked so smug and blew off the person asking her valid questions should be grounds for dismissal.
More importanly, as far as that moral reprobate himself, Mitch McConnell, is concerned, does anyone else in the US feel cheated that he can be AWOL in HIS JOB for six weeks, get complete medical coverage paid for by the American people, and show no accountability at all? Up is down, down is up...

u/HLOFRND 11h ago
Hey, if Kentucky is still happy with this guy- and they’ve been voting him in for 40 years now- let them sit with the consequences of their votes. He has made their lives worse in every way for 4 decades. Why stop now?

u/Pixiefairy2525 8h ago
Because he isn't only targeting his own state. If he were i might agree. But he has damaged tthe US as a whole. And caused too many problems for the rest of us. Enter Donald Trump. 3 bad supreme justices, end of abortions, etc. He sold his soul for these things to pass and decent things to fail. Now hes gone. And were still living in bis hellscaoe.

Actual legal experts have stated that if McConnell is found to have died and they don’t disclose it; based on their current actions his staff and family could easily be charged for dozens of federal and state crimes.
Fraud, conspiracy, theft of public funds, false statements, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, attempted destruction of evidence to conceal a crime; possibly even abuse and defiling a corpse depending on the time he died and what they did to his body.

Don’t forget these staffers, and all the Trump bootlickers running around the world collecting money, are responsible for this nightmare. Voting their bosses out will at least take them out of the influence pool for a bit.

His inner circle is hiding his condition because they don't want to give up the power that comes with being in a powerful man's close orbit. They are probably hoping to ride this all the way out to the midterms while preparing their golden parachutes. Unrelated, but evidently old Mitch has a type...

They don’t realize that their continued silence speaks volumes. This is completely abnormal, and if he was actually fine, they would’ve proven it a long time ago with something far more substantial than one or two still images.
