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?
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.
he would be a lich, sustained by souls of the youth, and lindsey.
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.
Rules require enforcement
Rules are for other people
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.
Yeah he’s likely still alive.
My bet is a stroke or something equally debilitating.
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!!
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.
So does this mean all other government employees are no longer required to come into the office
I didnt know hell had that infrastructure.
‘working’ from home? what fucking work is he doing
Well, at least he’s finally doing some good in the world.
compared to the CO2 he produced before, now at least its GOOD CO2
Regretting the music score he wrote, eh?
I’ll show myself out.
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.
Now would be such a beautiful time for Dems to make a call for a Return to Work order for good ol’ Mitch.
Motherfucker would not be a ghost, his ass is in Kamaloka
Naraka
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama,
Shaka, when the walls fell
his corpse must stink by now
