Mitch McConnell, the firebrand ultra-conservative Senate leader from Kentucky, probably died a few days ago.
And the Republican leadership does NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW HE’S DEAD.
Right now, the body of Mitch McConnell lies in state at an undisclosed hospital. He was found unconscious in June 2026, and hasn’t been heard from since.
Well, technically he isn’t being announced as dead.
At least not until after August 3.
Let me explain.
If McConnell, who is most likely clinically brain dead and on life support, is announced as having met the Grim Reaper before August 3, then the Commonwealth of Kentucky must hold a special election for his Senate seat. And Thomas Massie, a former Republican, could run as an independent and most likely win the election. And Massie is NO FRIEND of Donald Trump.
Or … Massie could split the vote, and a Democrat could take the Kentucky seat, thus costing the Republicans their slim Senatorial majority. Another thing Trump does not want.
Because hwen it comes to Mitch McConnell and death deadlines … he’s worked them to his personal advantage.
This is a man who once made up a spurious rule about when a Supreme Court Justice could be replaced after death. When Antonin Scalia passed away in 2016, McConnell did not want President Obama to get another Supreme Court Justice nomination through, so McConnell made up a rule that claimed that no Justices could be confirmed or considered during a Presidential election year.
Kinda funny that when Ruth Bader Ginsberg died in 2020, just a few weeks before the end of Donald Trump’s first term, McConnell already had a list of potential nominees and was announcing them before Justice Ginsberg’s grave was filled – and he ram-rodded Amy Coney Barrett into the Supreme Court in less than two weeks.
So yeah, Moscow Mitch can game the system to his own special interest benefits.
And now he’s “dead.” But nobody will officially confirm this. It’s the equivalent of the family dog now relegated to an unnamed farm upstate that we can’t visit but are told that Fido is living his best years there.
Well, in McConnell’s case, more like Yertle the Turtle’s life.
Trust me. McConnell got what he wanted. The reason the Supreme Court is stacked in a 6-3 conservative supermajority is because McConnell twisted the rules for his own special interest benefits.
And now, even today, his death is being kept from everyone until the day that it prevents someone more competent from claiming his Senate throne.
As I said before, Mitch McConnell is quite dead. I’m expecting the announcement of his passing as August 4. When it would be too late to hold a special election for his seat.
In other words, McConnell worked the system one more time. Even after his body shuffled off his mortal coil and his final duty is to push up crabgrass and worms.
Yeah, I’d tell Mitch McConnell to go burn in hell.
But he’s probably there already, and claiming it’s too cold for his comfort.
His soul has been dead for decades
