https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-confidante-says-mitch-mcconnell-84-is-brain-dead/A right-wing political activist with close ties to President Donald Trump and senior figures in his administration has claimed that former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is brain dead and will not be returning to Congress.
The bombshell claim by online influencer Laura Loomer came after days of speculation swirling around the 84-year-old Kentucky senators ailing health.

i've been wondering about her. and she's in china??? and takes off three days after he's in hospital?
joan esposito said someone from john thune's office said thune has been talking to mcconnell every day. that is doubtful.

(23,131 posts)All the "how would we know the difference?" jokes aside, I think it's entirely possible that he's on life support and not expected to recover. It would explain a lot, imo, like why there's so much secrecy surrounding this.
We'll have to wait and see what happens, of course, but I won't be the least bit surprised if his passing is suddenly announced with as little actual information provided as possible.

But we may never know, until the obits come out.
Should we care?
