Laura Loomer chimed in about Mitch,

I'll believe that when I read it in the NY Times.

Same person who first shared the audio of the dispatch call.

EMS was called to Sen. Mitch McConnell's home for "unconscious" patient last month, recording suggests

On the same morning Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized last month, EMS personnel went to his home to respond to an unconscious person who appeared to experience "cardiac arrest," according to a dispatch call.

EDIT: His wife travelled to China soon after his hospitalization, photographed in Beijing by Chinese media. So there's currently no one in the US with power of attorney if he really is brain dead.

So this means the plan, with full deniability, is working as intended?

A bit more ghoulish. If he resigns or otherwise unable (like being dead) to continue serving his seat would be considered vacated and Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, can call a special election.

However if McConnell is found unable to serve his term after August 3rd, the special election would automatically coincide with the general election in November and the person voted in to replace him would only serve his remaining 11 weeks as Senator instead of a full term.

So you can see why it's in the best interests of some that the "lights" stay on until after the 3rd.

Must not say anything about politicians being brain dead….with some you wouldn’t know the difference

Quite a few Critical Care Nurses, and Docs are chiming in lately that survival rate for an 84 year old male with history of TIA/strokes, etc, found VSA and with CPR initiated on scene is well less than 10%. Some say less than 4%, and even those who survive are unlikely to avoid cognitive impairment and thus no longer capable of independent living. If he was standing when the even happened, he most likely suffered some form of head injury when he fell - it may even have been the precipitating event. With CPR on an elderly patient, it's highly likely multiple ribs went crunch. That means there's also a chance of a punctured lung. We also don't know how long he was possibly VSA before CPR commenced. All that to say, if initial information is accurate, he's either already dead, or on his way out the door soon due to pneumonia or multi-organ failure.

That’s a great summary- even a crayon eater can understand it

So .... which one are you, really?

That assumes his wife is the sole POA.

Assuming no one pulls the plug , I read a person can be maintained on life support for weeks, months, or even years.

The cynic in me says that nothing will happen until all outstanding invoices, PAC contributions, 'Consulting fees', re-alignment and allocation of his trading accounts/investments are completed. Once that is all squared away, they'll wrap things up.

Yeah, but typically that's if they are much younger, with no major comorbidities. At his age, I'm betting there are some serious prior medical conditions - over the last couple of years, he's appeared dazed and confused in public, and had a few episodes of what looks like alter LOC followed immediately by a quick tumble - maybe a TIA? Did he have a stroke, or an MI? Maybe he's diabetic, who knows? I would think that a lot will depend on how long he was down for prior to being found and having CPR initiated. And, was he really VSA when found, or did they not know how to find a faint or irregular pulse and started CPR anyway. So many variables, but in this case I would say the odds are not in his favour.

Forgive me for even thinking it, but I remember that head of lettuce stunt they pulled in the U.K.

Yes, as he enjoys 'Socialized' medicine that is completely covered by the US Government.

'Socialized' medicine, meaning medical care paid for by the Government, is good enough for US Federal Legislators but not good enough for the American public.
