The only mystery I see is why the fuck has the governor not declared a special election? What’s the GOP gonna do? Sue? Ok let them give proof of life in court.

Exactly. Call their bluff. It’s pretty simple. If they sue to stop the special election, the judge will issue a subpoena for McConnell to appear either in person or by the court’s remote video software to answer questions.

Every recent picture of this mofo, looks like he's confused, in pain and about to vote in favor of some republican legislation

Depends on how long it took for Mitchy to get defibbed... assuming appropriate CPR until the AED is ready, first few minutes could be around 2/3 chance of survival, anything significantly more than 10 minutes we're looking at less than 1/4 chance.

(Sounds like mitch was unconscious from a fall and not a cardiac arrest, reports were that CPR was administered but was he breathing at some point? Mysteries still abound)

He was “found unconscious.”

Dude’s a vegetable, if even that.
