He's on sick leave. Which would be totally normal in Europe.
The irony here is that he gets to enjoy what he has worked rabidly his entire life to deny his fellow citizens.
Fuck this walking corpse.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Yeah, if what was happening to Mitch wasn't so exceptional in America then this would be a non issue.
Americans, btw, what's happening to Mitch is just what happens to ANY PERSON AT ALL in most countries when they are suffering from severe long-term illness and disability.
Except that most people in most countries are retired by age 84 and therefore wouldn't be "off" on sick leave in the first place.
But yes, otherwise, the point stands.

It would still be an issue because (a) Kentuckians are missing half of their Senate representation, and (b) because his death is obviously being hidden for bad faith political purposes, to illegally deprive Kentucky's governor of his right to appoint a replacement.
i was told there would be something called "checks and balances"!?

Except in most American jobs you would be fired by now for being on sick leave this long
Yes, that's one of the things that happens in this violent and inhumane nation. I now live in Europe, and I had a lot more than 75 days of sick leave when I had my amputation. I still have my job and my employer isn't mad at me in the slightest, because here it's understood that shit happens and that's life.

Mitch would croak so fast if he heard that Congress passed a bill giving Americans job protection for sick leave equal to the length of his absence.
He's already dead. He would rise from his coffin to vote nay on such a measure.

Do European leaders keep their authority if they go MIA for months on end?

That's not too bad. Remember when they uncovered a child pedophelia ring, locked up a women and then told us we're moving on from it.
They're using this to test how long Americans will tolerate having a clearly dead person hold elected office for when Trump finally farts himself to death
And if evidence is anything to show, they'll forget in approx 4 weeks.
Why when there's already Grassley. Hell they had Diane Feinstein still voting for what a year after showing she had no mental facilities or ability to do anything without massive assistance?
Hey what's up with them Epstein files?
When it comes out that he’s dead but they waited long enough that there is no time for a special election, they should just have the special election anyway, because he was away from his duties before the deadline.
It’s procedural fuckery to get what you want. he would’ve loved it.
At this point they will keep covering up his death until Jan 21st.
I dare they make him immortal, since legal death just turns out to be so hilariously circumventable.

No. Kentucky's governor should just immediately appoint a replacement, because the law requiring a special election was already unconstitutional (according to KY's state constitution) to begin with. Which is also, by the way, probably why they're continuing to conceal his death even after the fake 'deadline' has passed.

This country is such a joke. And its not even funny.
Hes dead
He absolutely has to be, or at least has such brain damage he cannot function properly. They wouldn't go through so much to hide his state like this.

Part of the problem is Mitch McConnell's absence advantages the Democratic party since it leaves the vote vacant as absent.
If a special election were had, a Republican would surely replace McConnell, and they would vote on the Senate floor.
This lends evidence McConnell is still alive, and the GOP is unwilling to pressure his administration to step down. It's a situation similar to Diane Feinstein.
No one gives up power until its pried from their cold, dead hands.
It might be proper to pass forcing officials to step down id they are absent for a set length of time, and to mandate periodic proof-of-life correspondence in order to keep elected office. Confirmations of life and condition by a professional under penalty of perjury during absence might also be in order. But this is all conversation for the post-revolution constitutional committee.

I think the turtle is dead
At this point the deadline has passed for it to matter for bye-elections. If he was dead why wouldn't they just say so. The whole thing stinks, it hasn't made a lick of sense from the start.

Well fuck. I hope there's still time for the hello-elections!

I was just talking about this for my fiance last night. I can guarantee you that it won't be long after the election that he will have suddenly died in the hospital. My opinion is that he's probably just being kept on life support, brain dead.
Oh I care.
I hope he's alive and not dead. Alive but sick and in a lot of pain.
He's on life support. Not officially dead. Only situation that makes sense.

Turning what’s left of him into a realistic skin suit and finding a suitable actor who can imitate the way he speaks isn’t done in a few days.

How about we all do the same and receive the same benefits... oh right none of us are a corrupt asshole that has received gifts and funding from every shitty company that has been poisoning us and the planet!
As a non-USian I properly don't care. You guys over there have far greater problems than this.
Mmm I don’t know about that, if anything this either reflects or is one of their biggest current problems.
There’s a good chance this Senator is dead, if not he certainly can’t serve as a Senator. That’s being disregarded and/or covered up.
That’s a serious issue within their government.

And have you forgotten that twitter/x is owned by a nazi? write this shit yourself and don't repost from there
Ah shit if it's not perfect just don't do it.
the Harp bs was probably realesed to distract from it
Everything all the time is a distraction from the two only two things that really matter:
- The upcoming rigged mid-terms and the final entrenchment of the American fascist regime.
- The Epstein files.
