This whole thing is so stupid. The rule is not that he gets replaced when he dies, it's that he gets replaced when he's unable to do the job, which he clearly is.

And the pussy ass Dem governor could have just replaced McConnell and made them prove otherwise in court. But he didn’t.
Yeah he's likely still alive.
My bet is a stroke or something equally debilitating.
The ghoul is braindead and being kept alive through artificial support. Although, regardless of the specific condition, we can infer with near certainty that he is a vegetable.
If he wasn't, they would have at the very least put him on a video call interview to show that he is alive, awake, and coherent.
He's passed on! This senator is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If they hadn't nailed him to the hospital bed he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! HE IS AN EX-SENATOR!!
Then, my “vision” if you that’s what it is, is he’s in limbo and he’s only getting out when he says a message I gave him.
Yep, if he had a stroke and a few hours passed before they found him there is no way he will ever work anything more than what he does with his therapists to preserve whatever capabilities he has left.
Isn't all of feds required to be in office or get fired?
Why the special treatment?
Now would be such a beautiful time for Dems to make a call for a Return to Work order for good ol’ Mitch.
'working' from home? what fucking work is he doing
Regretting the music score he wrote, eh?
I'll show myself out.
Well, at least he's finally doing some good in the world.
compared to the CO~2~ he produced before, now at least its GOOD CO~2~
So does this mean all other government employees are no longer required to come into the office
Have they finally announced his death yet?
I think they're waiting for the fossilization process to complete. Expect an update in about 250 million years, only then will they admit that maybe he might be dead. But they still won't confirm anything.
I don't think he's officially dead yet. Or they couldn't hide it. He's probably a vegetable.
Can't vote from home.
Other senators have been "voting on his behalf" because apparently that's legal?
That is flatly incorrect for floor votes, only for committee business. While there are three different methods for the US Senate to take a vote, all three require the physical presence of the senator to do so. These rules have remained unchanged since 1798.
Unanimous consent is technically another, but it requires actual unanimous consent, so it is rarely used for anything of importance.
McConnell himself was one of the people being hardline about forbidding proxy/non-physical voting during covid, and the reason there is no absentee voting in the Senate when it came up again, which it does from time to time.
I never thought I'd be grateful, but I guess it's a good thing they never allowed the Herman Cain crowd to perform official acts.
Like most rules, it's almost certain that the fascists make an "unless WE want to" exception.
If the turtle's still alive, that is.
Er I'm noticing a distinct lack of burning and demons.
Wild part is I think he’s in limbo, but I don’t know if he’s on life support or sans body because they keep playing Weekend at Bernies with him. I guess we’ll see if he ever makes a video conference to prove him living.
Kentuckians should be clamoring for a successor because they may not be receiving the best representation, or any at all.
I didnt know hell had that infrastructure.
Satan absolutely has a Twitter account
Motherfucker would not be a ghost, his ass is in Kamaloka
Naraka
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama,
Shaka, when the walls fell
Sokath, his eyes open!
Other than making the world a worse place for decades then what work did the horrible tortoise actually do that warrants a statement about a corpse working from home?
he would be a lich, sustained by souls of the youth, and lindsey.
I prefer if all Republican senators work from home
his corpse must stink by now
He probably smelled like rot when he was still alive too
