Mitch McConnell is pulling in and costing lots of money for someone who is fraudulently alive.

[applegrove]

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

1. I assume they figure

… endless scandals means we won’t be able to keep up with the lawsuits to hold them all accountable.

2. And that's real - not AI!--- "Mitch, Mitch - If you agree with me, don't move a bone."

[Captain Zero]

3. Social Security and Medicare only

Like every other American his age.
Kick him out.
Send him his bills for deductibles and OOP.

4. Did you propose the same for Dianne Feinstein

when she was absent for over two months?

It’s not the first time an elderly elected official has been unable to show up for an extended period and it won’t be the last.

5. I get what you are saying but most of us in CA

I used to live there wanted her to retire many many years before she did.

7. Feinstein never had cpr and taken away to a hospital

At that age and poor health, there is little chance of surviving CPR. I don't recall her ever being taken by ambulance to a hospital unconscious after CPR.

10. Not the point being addressed

The post I responded to did not assume he's dead -- just the opposite. It made the point that if he's unable to do the job he should be kicked out of be compensated only by medicare and social security.

8. I'm making a play on the republican/MAGA penchant

for taking healthcare away from the public by calling it fraud busting: "waste, fraud and abuse".

14. I was

one among many Democrats who called, wrote and emailed Dianne Feinstein thanking her for her many years of service and begging her to retire and experience a few peaceful years. .

20. Not the same situation

Feinstein was known to be alive, her condition was publicly known and there were people who saw her regularly and could verify her status.

While I agree that McConnell is entitled to the same benefits that Feinstein got - as should all members of congress - Feinstein was in favor of Medicare, was in favor of increasing the federal minimum wage and was in favor of a certain amount of paid leave for many curcumstances. The poster was simply venting at the grievous hypocrisy. Not sure why it's relevant that the poster didn't specifically call out Feinstein at the time.

6. I would hope anyone who has a job

is not kicked off their health insurance if they end up in the hospital.

[NGeorgian]

9. Govenor Brashear needs to go to the hospital and......................

just visit a guy in the hospital.

[mdbl]

11. They're waiting for an animatronics company to come up with a talking replica

That costs money ya know.

[DBoon]

13. Shouldn't be all that expensive

to come up with a Mitch replica that does nothing

[mdbl]

21. True, that is if you're looking for the "Weekend at Bernie's" look

[70sEraVet]

12. They will change the rules of the Senate so that Mitch can still cast a vote....

via telegram from hell.

[TomSlick]

15. Democrats need to leave this alone.

The Turtle is not voting in the Senate. So long as he is an absent Senator, there is one less Rethuglian vote.

This is a GOP issue. Let them deal with it. From the Democratic perspective it ain't broke and doesn't need fixing.

[groundloop]

16. What's really sad in all of this is that we're being denied the right to celebrate -

the fact that McTurtle will no longer be able to hurt people.

[warmfeet]

17. Please,

let us not speak ill of the dead.

[flashman13]

18. A deluxe drawer in the morgue refrigerator can't cost all that much.

Cashing his paycheck is also a serious crime. Of course if Trump is having McConnell's check deposited into his account it's OK.

[Ford_Prefect]

19. Posthumously, I believe...

AFAIK He's brain dead.
