He's on sick leave. Which would be totally normal in Europe.
The irony here is that he gets to enjoy what he has worked rabidly his entire life to deny his fellow citizens.
Fuck this walking corpse.

That's not too bad. Remember when they uncovered a child pedophelia ring, locked up a women and then told us we're moving on from it.
They're using this to test how long Americans will tolerate having a clearly dead person hold elected office for when Trump finally farts himself to death
And if evidence is anything to show, they'll forget in approx 4 weeks.
Why when there's already Grassley. Hell they had Diane Feinstein still voting for what a year after showing she had no mental facilities or ability to do anything without massive assistance?
Hey what's up with them Epstein files?
Serious answer? this is what's happening
When it comes out that he’s dead but they waited long enough that there is no time for a special election, they should just have the special election anyway, because he was away from his duties before the deadline.
It’s procedural fuckery to get what you want. he would’ve loved it.
At this point they will keep covering up his death until Jan 21st.

No. Kentucky's governor should just immediately appoint a replacement, because the law requiring a special election was already unconstitutional (according to KY's state constitution) to begin with. Which is also, by the way, probably why they're continuing to conceal his death even after the fake 'deadline' has passed.
Part of the reason for the deadline is so the special election could be held properly with sufficient time to staff and run it how you're supposed to.
Regardless of this fucking chicanery nobody should be pushing to give them excuses to water down election integrity or change established rules on the fly. He can be ousted in the midterms.
Hes dead
He absolutely has to be, or at least has such brain damage he cannot function properly. They wouldn't go through so much to hide his state like this.
Accuttaally He's on life support and being flipped twice a day to prevent the corpse from infection
Still waiting for anything to actually come from it AND be able to finally officially celebrate
Part of the problem is Mitch McConnell's absence advantages the Democratic party since it leaves the vote vacant as absent.
If a special election were had, a Republican would surely replace McConnell, and they would vote on the Senate floor.
This lends evidence McConnell is still alive, and the GOP is unwilling to pressure his administration to step down. It's a situation similar to Diane Feinstein.
No one gives up power until its pried from their cold, dead hands.
It might be proper to pass forcing officials to step down id they are absent for a set length of time, and to mandate periodic proof-of-life correspondence in order to keep elected office. Confirmations of life and condition by a professional under penalty of perjury during absence might also be in order. But this is all conversation for the post-revolution constitutional committee.
Except the vote isn't absent they are casting votes for McConnell via proxy.

Another argument for term limits for Congress.
I think the turtle is dead
At this point the deadline has passed for it to matter for bye-elections. If he was dead why wouldn't they just say so. The whole thing stinks, it hasn't made a lick of sense from the start.

Well fuck. I hope there's still time for the hello-elections!
They can’t announce it too quickly or else it’ll look suspicious… well, more suspicious than this shit already looks. They think they’re pulling a sneaky
Could be brain dead and they are working on a technicality. Definitely have enough money and resources to keep a pseudo-corpse around for quite awhile.
Current US politics are ridiculous. How come there aren’t large protests with burnt tires, thrown concrete blocks, and biological waste being pumped into government buildings like France had in the recent years? And before anybody points that out, French police and military also have guns, so being armed is not unique to the US forces. Hasn’t prevented the unarmed Frenchies from taking action too.
Mere words don’t mean anything to these politicians.
French cops aren’t allowed to unionize so they’re fundamentally different than US cops
I was just talking about this for my fiance last night. I can guarantee you that it won't be long after the election that he will have suddenly died in the hospital. My opinion is that he's probably just being kept on life support, brain dead.
Oh I care.
I hope he's alive and not dead. Alive but sick and in a lot of pain.
Turning what’s left of him into a realistic skin suit and finding a suitable actor who can imitate the way he speaks isn’t done in a few days.
How about we all do the same and receive the same benefits... oh right none of us are a corrupt asshole that has received gifts and funding from every shitty company that has been poisoning us and the planet!
He's just resting
Evil continues to win.
It's been 75 days already?? Fuck this guy.
You got my hopes up. I read MMA instead of MIA for a second. Now you have to make it happen or I'm gonna cry.

the Harp bs was probably realesed to distract from it
Everything all the time is a distraction from the two only two things that really matter:
We've moved on from demanding answers. Now people just say, he's dead, and carry on.
Wish he'd hurry up and die so we don't have to keep paying him.
Considering what Republican US senators do, his absence makes exactly zero difference.
