Where the hell is TMZ? You telling me that they can’t get a hospital attendant to snap some pics of Turtle’s toe tag for that cool 10K? Maybe Mitch is already in the refrigerated truck and padlocked up.
What was the point of teaching American high schoolers the woes of unfettered capitalism, and greed of the robber barron’s of the gilded industrial age, and the dangers of corporate monopolies if boomers, Gen X, and older millennials were just going to turn around and do all of those things anyway, but worse this time around with Big Brother making sure we can’t or won’t stop them.
I am an older millennial and that is some bullshit. Zuck and his ilk may be elder millennials but they are not representative of us as a whole. I was born in 1986 and I graduated college three months before the 2008 crash. We couldn’t get healthcare until we elected Obama.
You sound like the boomer, trying to blame millennials for fucking up the economy. Call us cringe all you want but that doesn’t change the stats.
I tell you (same exact boat as you) I feel for current hs graduates. They’re getting the exact same shit as we did this year. $5 a gallon gas and a nice giant job free recession to graduate into. Only it’s worse because now these rich sociopaths have made ai capable of taking most decent paying jobs out of the equation.
Got to love when a republican gets in power. Everyone but the rich gets to suffer 🙃
As a white leftist dude, let’s be honest, the age demographic thing isn’t as reliable as saying white dudes are to blame. At the end of the day there are plenty of Gen Zer crypto fascist white dudes carrying water for the oligarchs.
Yes, and I’ve made that comment before and it does not go well. White dudes on Reddit get realllllllllyyyyy mad at that one, especially when it comes from literally any other demographic.
They'd need to make it way more than that - because if they get caught violating HIPAA, especially in such a flagrant way, they'll never work in the medical world again.
They must have his room fully locked down with only screened staff able to come anywhere near it. That alone makes me highly suspicious.
I believe that there is a cover-up just to be clear - but wouldn’t any prominent politician in hospital, especially when receiving intensive care, be in a room that is fully locked down with only screened staff able to come in? I would think that’s just a standard security protocol. I personally do not find that detail highly suspicious.
My nephew and his crew run on yogg which started out as a yo gabba gabba forum but actually works better than any other social media platform out there. Scalable, zer-
There was a thing a couple months ago where groups of younglings would just storm Scientology buildings under the "they can't stop us all" strategy to the point where Scientology locked all their doors and stopped culting about right outside the buildings.
Edit to add link:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/style/scientology-speedruns-tiktok-teens-la-nyc.html
A lot of gen z people have been speed running the scientology buildings. Basically filming themselves walk through the front door and run ad deep into the building as possible to map it out and find out what's going on in their.
They get kicked out pretty quick. But a few have gotten pretty far.
An assistant to a coroner needs to sneak this autopsy report. I am starting to think he is in one of those steel drawers on some ice until the time runs out
That’s another thing that’s confusing! Like is this hospital wing where his “room” is just under security protocol to protect him from someone knowing the severity?
What we need right now are those kids that ran into the Scientology building in costumes! Tell them to do a speed run through the hospital and give us footage of Mitch haha
Hospitals will refuse to admit someone is there, let alone tell people the floor and room number. HIPAA is incredibly strict and nobody wants to throw away their career.
We are living in different times. An entire state of millions are not being told if their Senatortoise is alive or dead. Somebody has to sneak a photo or spill the beans. Hospital whistle blower or something. Interview the EMT’s that picked him up and ask them what they witnessed when they found were cracking his ribs doing CPR
Point is, EMTs would get fired. It's why they're interviewing neighbors.
You're asking nurses, doctors, and EMTs to get fired.
That isn't just, "oh, I accidentally told the brother of the patient protected information." It's not an unlocked computer. It's fully, willfully, going to the media to discuss a public figure's private health information.
They will absolutely get fired, it will be reported to the licensing board and they will have that noted. Their career is over.
You're asking someone to put their license at risk of suspension. State boards can suspend or revoke licenses for HIPAA violations if they are deemed severe enough.
Taking a public figure's health information to the media is absolutely one such thing. It doesn't matter why.
Multiple celebrities have had their records leaked. Clooney, Kardashian, entire sports teams have had their drug tests leaked. Sometimes people get fired, a whole hospital got fired for accessing Clooneys emr. Sometimes no one does (Kardashian) and sometimes people do it and brag about it or demand a ransom before leaking (Drug test leaks).
Some people who have access to an emr are so low level, they don't care if they lose their job and they have nothing to be sued over. It can happen.
The only person I am genuinely asking to get fired is Mitch McConnell. I’m aware of the law and I don’t believe someone there would get some bright idea after reading my Reddit post.
His constituents deserve “proof of life” because his vote in the senate crucial.
That’s all I’m actually saying.
I ask this to you. Should Scott Jennings and other people who claimed to speak to Mitch for 29 minutes lose their jobs if Mitch is found to be in a coma or brain dead for a month?
It’s hypothetical but they would be willfully lying to 10’s of millions of people about an elected official.
Why is the goalpost only moved when republicans lie?
technically they could all look the other way to people coming on the unit but they would still be fired. really the only “hope” there is, is for some other patient or family member from that unit to speak out. & even then, it’s not like it’s verifiable.
what we need is legislation that an in house appearance, is required if a certain number of votes are missed, otherwise the position is forfeit and a special election is held. if you can’t show up for the job then the people are without representation. shit honestly reps should only be allowed to miss a certain amount of votes period
I thought this too, at first, but not sure what he could actually do. He can’t storm into a hospital or ICU room. And he wouldn’t be able to get any information out of the drs/nurses since he’s not family. Not to mention, McConnell has security detail.
It would look like a PR stunt for Beshear, I’d think.
Robin Williams did a great impression of Ronald Reagan as a malfunctioning animatronic, I tried looking for a clip of it a while ago but couldn't find it.
We need a Democrat colleague to just “bring him flowers”. Why are Dems not doing anything to check on him?
At my work we literally have to call the Sheriff to do a “wellness check” if a colleague doesn’t show up and didn’t preschedule vacation or call in sick, and are not answering our calls.
As a civil servant we all have a right to know his status. If he wants privacy he should retire and find a different line of work.
Exactly! Then Scott Jennings needs to prove on CNN that phone record he claims that was 17-20 minutes with Mitch the other day.
CPR cracks the ribs of healthy people, imagine what it would do to Mitch?! And he somehow calls up Scott to talk about Iran, Ukraine, and senate bs?? If my old friend called me after that shit, I would be just talking about his experience and ask him if he is okay. Tell that motherfucker to save his breath and send a photo/video of him saying he is okay.
After Hunt asked him to call McConnell on air, Jennings laughed and said, "I wasn't really expecting him to call this morning to be honest, so when the phone rang and I was able to talk to him, I was frankly pretty grateful."
I mean, he doesn’t actually say Mitch called. He said he didn’t expect him to call but then the phone rang then he spoke to him. It’s all very passive.
"Thune had a phone conversation with McConnell on Monday, "his spokesperson confirmed.
"They had a lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security," a Thune spokesperson said.
Barrasso spokesperson Kate Noyes said the two discussed a number of topics, including recent sexual assault allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner (allegations Platner has denied) and national defense spending, during a 20-minute phone conversation on Tuesday afternoon.
"They caught up about the latest news impacting Senate races, the Graham Platner scandal, and the recent Supreme Court ruling on coordinated spending limits. They also discussed the Senate's July work period, including the need to pass the NDAA and confirm President Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence," Noyes said. "Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate."
He's an 84 year old man who was found unconscious an unknown amount of time after a heart attack and was revived with CPR, who has already had several public severe neurological incidents. It would be a miracle if he had any awareness left at all, let alone the cognizance to meet with colleagues. It wouldn't be a plausible lie even if they weren't being cagey about it.
scott jennings was on kasie hunt /cnn and said he spoke to mitch that day ( july 7) and discussed foreign affairs. She asked him to call him live on the show and it was laughably awkward.
He’s either a cooked vegetable or he’s all the way dead, my bet is that he’s brain dead and hooked up to life support so they don’t have to declare him dead. His wife, the only person with the authority to remove him from life support, fled to China a few days after he entered the hospital. They legally can’t take him off life support, so he’s “alive” as long as they need him to be.
She's his POA. Being out of reach prevents her from acting with some plausible deniability, and prevents her from being compelled to act. This ambiguity is currently preventing a power balance from tipping. After his nonsense with Obama/Trump SCOTUS, it wouldn't surprise me a lick if the current circus was literally his dying wish.
Cardiac arrest was heard in the dispatch call. Yet again, the media and GOP split hairs on small details to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
"A heart attack is a circulation problem where blood flow to the heart is blocked. Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem where the heart suddenly stops beating altogether. While a heart attack damages heart muscle, cardiac arrest is fatal within minutes without immediate intervention."
Well and here is why I don’t get this conspiracy theory. Are they trying to hold out until after midterms? Why? Wouldn’t there be a by election if he left office anyways? Isn’t his seat an easy win for the repubs anyways? Wouldn’t they want a new face out before the midterms? Hiding his wellness if it’s poor doesn’t make sense.
Yes the rest of Kentucky is hardcore Republican but not necessarily hardcore MAGA. Northern Kentucky, where Massie was defeated in the primary, is probably the most MAGA area of the state outside of far Eastern KY. He’d have a better chance statewide, but running as an Independent will be his hamstring. I live in a county that went 85% for Trump in 2024, and they love Massie down here. Kentucky is more Libertarian than anything, and Massie and Rand Paul are among the last true Libertarians.
You mean hypocrites. "True libertarian" is an oxymoron that no one in their right mind is even trying to attain while also seeking a governmental position as a member of the GOP.
There is no law...that's the point, and they purposely won't add clauses or amendments to the Constitution, because even in death they want to hold power.
The 25th Amendment of the Constitution only applies to the President. Members of Congress have to expelled by 2/3, resign or have proof of death, and there is no investigative avenue to prove life.
A Senator could go into a coma on the second day of their term...and they can't be removed, unless expelled.
If I were the governor, I’d go ahead and assume his dead and start making a arrangements for a special election. Let the GOP sue to stop the special election, at which time the governor can take the position that he’s already dead unless they can prove otherwise.
It's just so rich after what the right did with Biden. Like what's happening with McConnell is their wet dream fantasy come true of what they envisioned happening with Biden.
Scott Jennings claiming he spoke with Mitch on the phone proves it would be incredibly easy for him to call the media and have a phone call proving he's alive.
If I were Andy Beshear, I would demand it or appoint a new senator.
Beshear can't. Kentucky must have a special election. It's why the rumor mill is running wild. If he genuinely is brain dead, him being kept on machines until Aug 3 passes the deadline for a special election.
If this guy is not alive or mentally brain dead, we must acknowledge all the people who said they’ve “talked with him” since being in the hospital were actually proven as liars and it would be evidence of an extreme coverup
I also believe we are seeing what will happen when Trump dies as well. It’s going to be ridiculous. Trump will become a dead scapegoat, which as fitting as that is, it just shows how Republicans have no integrity or accountability.
“Braindead” is also a type of regular dead. It means the same thing. If someone is braindead, they are legally just as dead as someone whose heart isn’t beating.
If the cadaver is still on machines, unless it is on machines for purposes of organ donation, it’s just an expensive, resource-wasting type of dead.
Death cert hasn't been issued. Legally, someone can stall legal death for days or weeks via artificial means. That is what is happening, if Mitch is indeed brain dead.
Just schedule the election to replace him! If he’s alive, he can come prove it. But just schedule things as if he did pass away and assume we’re moving on. It’s not that hard force the issue
Good point. He is collecting a Senate salary and probably has other income streams such as social security. It would be committing fraud to continue with these income sources if he is no longer alive.
I would urge anyone that lives in Kentucky to call Andy Beshear's office and urge him to start the process for a special election due to McConnell being unable to fulfill his duties. Let the Republicans prove otherwise if they can.
Where is his wife? Has she been seen visiting the hospital?
Edit: here is her statement made earlier today (7/10/26)… telling in its absence of detail and clear language. If he is [insert latest theory] then there is no warranting an immediate return? If he is healthy and cranky and bothering the hospital staff with demands for a sponge bath, that too doesn’t warrant a return…
“The senator's health did not warrant an immediate return to the U.S."
I mean all of the "it's Mitch McConnell" part aside, imagine your spouse is old and already in bad health. If he is still alive, how bad does she have to not give a shit that he was found unresponsive and sent to the hospital, and her reasoning to not come home is "eh no biggie." Like, does that make any sense? It would make sense if he is dead because then, yeah, why rush back? But your spouse is brought to a hospital after a significant cardiac event, in what world is that not a "come home" or "cut the trip short" emergency? Either you hate your husband, or he's dead in some capacity. I guess the inbetween is a possibility, but how damn bizarre is that..?
You know what the funniest part of this is? Mitch is dead and the GOP is using his lifeless corpse to obstruct democracy. It’s an oddly sweet tribute to who he was in life. I’m sure Ol’ Mitch would be proud 🥲.
So, what are we gonna do about all the folks that said they had a 20-minute conversation with him this week once we find out he's been dead the whole time? Like, how in the fuck can they spin that?
I've said this several times, but the leaked audio talked about CPR. Chest compressions on a frail 80-something are 100% a last resort. If you're Mitch, and you got CPR, you're not going to back to work if you survive, you're in hospice, because you have broken ribs. You're certainly not having conversations with your "friend" Scott Jennings.
It's insane how many people truly know and it hasn't been released. By now the hospital would have submitted billing to his insurance companies with all their administrative staff. If he has died there is a death certificate on file with DC. I understand the significance of HIPAA but given his position SOMEONE would be a hero by releasing his status. This is a national security issue.
McConnell's staff knows and are running a shadow show, not to mention that John Thune, Trump and their staffers know. Susie Wiles knows. Our government is hiding information on our employee to rig an election.
Everyone who knows, know you are complicit. We will not forget.
Gotta be honest . . . I bet they told trump that he’s expected to recover. Hiding delicate information from trump is a maga tradition at this point. McConnell’s body is likely secured in Stephen miller’s walk in refrigerator, where he stores his skin suits.
We could be looking at a Terri Schiavo situation. The brain is dead, but the body is still alive. So, they're keeping Mitch on life support long enough to do whatever needs to be done, politically.
I saw the video and thought “they are taking out a dead man”. They are not administering CPR, no rush once he was in the ambulance to get going….he is dead and every member of congress that says they spoke with him needs to resign.
