Yes? Lol

The prognosis for someone receiving CPR after an unwitnessed arrest is abysmal for a much younger, healthy person - like 5% chance of survival and even less than that for survival without severe brain damage. If they performed CPR correctly they broke every rib in his chest, and if they were somehow able to get his heart beating again then he's certainly on a ventilator and brain dead. The absolute "best case" scenario is that the family is in denial and they haven't decided to pull the plug yet.

In the last line of this article, Ken says he believes that Trump will say goodbye to McConnell over the weekend.

[–] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

God, to be a fly on the wall in that room

[–] dead@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I meant like a goodbye post on truthsocial, if he's already deceased. You know how Trump likes to be the first to announce news on truthsocial.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

yeah there's no way he's going to see him lol

he just wants to post it first, and make sure it's after market hours

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You think? I imagine he sits there with a "what the hell do you want me to do about it?" sort of annoyance on his face. I don't think Trump has either the sharp wit he started with or the togetherness to do a Trumpism (e.g. veterans are suckers and losers).

I envision Trump seeing McConnell as an instrument more than he does a person.

I think McConnell saw McConnell that way too.

Two weeks ago, on the morning of June 14, he was found unconscious at his D.C. home and rushed to the hospital, after an EMS call reporting a cardiac arrest at his address and that he’d been given CPR.

Dude's 100% dead. At best, he's already braindead before they carried his comotose body to the ambulance and he died on the way to the hospital. No 84 year old with health issues is surviving that shit.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

I hope he's fully aware of his surroundings and body, but entirely unable to move or communicate in even the smallest of ways

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago

I’m surprised to hear that he went into cardiac arrest. I thought you needed a heart to do that.

Mitch Mc-Gone-ell kelly

[–] larrikin99@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If he's dead, and Trump hasn't immediately announced it, then either trump is also undergoing a medical emergency or they're hiding the news from him.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

My money is the old ghoul is in a medical coma or some shit, but I'm surprised Trump hasn't opened his fat mouth over it.

The damage this man has done to the slander of turtlekinds is immeasurable.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

That's right! Dead serious about going to Itchy and Scratchy Land!

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

decades too late but i hope so

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Flush that turd down the drain before they put him on the Golden Throne

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

He can be a little dead. As a treat.

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago
[–] GladimirLenin@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Technically, no. Probably just waiting for one of his family members to yank that cord out of the wall outlet.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I hope so. I hope it intently. And I hope it hurt.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell#Health

In February 2026, McConnell was hospitalized for eight days for "flu-like symptoms".

Comrade Covid does it again.

Where can I gamble on his death and do a parlay gambling on whether the S&P500 reacts and whether it will change by a magnitude >1% and whether it will go up or down?

[–] dead@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Polymarket has Mitch McConnell leaving Senate before the end of his term (January 2027) at 46% with a $125k volume. (I do not condone gambling)

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't they declare that if the person dies it doesn't count as "leaving"? I remember that being a controversy.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It would be extremely funny if the Senate went by Navy rules where the US Navy has never lost a submarine, the 50 or so destroyed in combat are considered "Still On Patrol"

Dying while holding office means you're "Still Filibustering". That would be a good bit

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

That will be newsoms reason for not doing anything. Sorry we can't relegalise abortion Mitch is still filibustering.

concerning!!!

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

I hope so. If only more gop'ers could drop dead I would be so happy 🤞

Wait...you're dead...what are you trying to tell us? doggirl-sweat

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago

No, he's Mitch McConell.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

He'll regain his full power in 1d6 days unless a group of noble adventurers breaks into his lair and destroys his phylactery.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago
[–] nothx@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Hopefully lol

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

He’s fine

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

He's no president but it'll do

[–] Spike@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Preparing the crabs

Hopefully burning in hell according to his stupid beliefs

[–] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

If a pillow falls wrong on his face he will be. You could toss a teddy bear and kill him
