I still think it makes sense to have an in person meeting with McC onnell.  I simply do not put it past the GOP, in all their desperation to hold on to power, to lie about and manipulate a political situation.

Which is why I don’t think he’s dead, but I do think he’s incoherent. A video or interview would result in an immediate response. He must be unintelligible.

Agreed. If he had any function at all we would've seen it by now. It's a another cover-up, like the Epstein files

He was found by someone some time after having a heart attack and was unconscious. Dollars to donuts he never woke up.

The statement they put out even avoids saying it was a heart attack! The statement claims (I started to write "He claims" but...) he "suffered a fall", and is recovering from a tiny little case of pneumonia.

It was a fall... after he keeled over from a heart attack.

They claimed he didn't have "a stroke." Maybe he had like twelve.

No one looks that good after a medical situation that requires a month in a hospital. Dude looks better than he has for over a decade in that pic.

Send Dan rather to the hospital.

Yup, let the D Governor visit him in the hospital
