    They’re keeping the corpse on life support to avoid getting clobbered in another special election. I thought the governor appointed them but that changed now it’s a special election.

      That’s been the last decade at least of his role. His staff do everything and occasionally parade him out for photo-ops.

      You don’t perform CPR on people who are breathing. He was dead for a while before he was found. No one knows for how long. He probably is still dead, they just don’t want to announce it for purely political reasons.

        He could have been resurrected. Happened to my great grandfather, he lived for another couple years after all the way to 92 though he was gone for too long and ended up degenerating for the last couple years. Funny enough he had to be physically stopped from just going at his cake on his 90th.

        Let’s hope this fuckwit is lacking in my the stubbornness of my great grandfather.

        They’re saving it for the big 250th so they can use the footage of all the celebrations.
