I don't understand how this is even a defence in the age of drone warfare.

Or even like... Cannon warfare.

Yeah, the Ottomans could have taken this in the fourteenth century.

It's important to note three days after his cardiac arrest, his wife left the country and fully bailed. I have not seen any reports of her return.

It's MORE important to note, that if a Kentucky Senator is unable to serve, a special election to called to replace them. Unless they die/are fully unable to serve after August 3rd, then it does not happen. Then, he is not replaced.

It is likely they will keep him Technically Alive until August 4th to stall and avoid this election.

The EVEN BIGGER thing to note is there has been a very, very large string of MASSIVE absences by many, many (often older) congressmen and women that have normalized this type of disappearance and silence.

One was found in a care home with dementia after not reporting to work for months. One disappeared for FOUR MONTHS because he was "depressed" but also was doing sports betting and investment work while gone. (He got paid sick leave that he voted against for everyone else, btw).

McConnell has been in hospital for a MONTH and we are just finding out now it was cardiac arrest and he's still in the hospital (likely braindead but that's inference, not a released statement).

This behaviour has been normalized in this country. Every example listed is a republican BUT democrats have had their share of congressmen and women with dementia being puppeted by their staff, which is on the same level as shit this.

This is a structural issue. McCain's constituents may not get to vote for his replacement in a timely manner because his team (and his missing wife??) are allowed to hide his effective death.
