That's not a casket. It's his new form.
It's perfectly normal to have a cocoon phase during a regular metamorphosis.
Only 2 more days then we get to find out.
As a non american I didnt catch what the deadline was they were pretending he was alive to avoid. Would you mind explaining what happens in a couple of days ?
August 3rd is the deadline after which it's officially too late for a special election to replace him before the next regular election.
How does having a corpse representing Kentucky be better? Can the GOP keep control of his vote?
Rather before the deadline, the Governor would get to appoint a caretaker to the seat.
They're scared a real candidate will do their job competently, so they would rather have a dead man representing them. Ya know, just republicans trying to obstruct democracy as per usual (somehow, this is all been normalized in the USA)
Someone on Lemmy said that using his death to mislead the public, stymie democracy and play procedural shenanigans against the Democrats is definitely how he would have wanted to go.
Anyone a who knows anything about that asshole thought the same thing. Is probably in his end of life directives.
How much power does Kentucky have??
About one Kentucky's worth I think.
Doesn't seem like much.
More then one Puerto Rico.
Doesn't seem like much.
Well yes nothing is not much.
Thanks, and I assume the upcoming mid terms are not a "regular election" in this context - it's the voting round in 2 years ?
Or are they really that determined to hold the seat for an extra month or so ? Mid terms are Nov right ? And a special election would be at least a couple of months from death to the replacement poll ?
Or are they really that determined to hold the seat for an extra month or so ? Mid terms are Nov right ?
Yeah. The thing is that Thomas Massie would be amongst the favorites and they will stop at nothing to keep him away from any power.
Won't he just win in Nov then ? I mean I guess a month.or two is time to get some stuff voted through but is it really worth all this cover up ?
The way I understand it, which is vaguely, Massie already lost the primary or something so he can't run in the regular election. But he could run in a special election, which would divide the republican base and help a democrat to win.
It is convoluted though, and beyond my limited comprehension of political complexities. Republicans tend to be very underhanded like this though, so republican-controlled states have convoluted laws which enable them to do these kinds of shenanigans.
Thank you
That makes sense
In their opinion, it clearly is.
I guess they have some really nefarious stuff they wish to force through before possibly losing the majority and don't think Massey would go for it.
Before Aug 3 there would have been a special election to replace him. After Aug 3 it's only 3 months to the midterms so there's a local law there that it gets rolled up with the midterms.
So what im hearing is he will be pronounced dead on Aug 4th? This really is some disgusting, macabre shit if so.
Yes and yes.
What if we just go ahead doing things as if he is dead? Not like he is going to sue us.
Is this for real?
I was about to criticize you but honestly given the fucking clownshow of a country the US is right now, if this was a real picture it wouldn't even be that much more unbelievable than everything else going on
It is. I'm the one who sold her the casket and mothballs.
Once you join the realm of the undead, the biggest problem is what to do with all those extra caskets you don't need, so I feel for them
Can confirm, I am the car in the photo.
Can confirm, am the potted plant behind her
letters on the sign are legible, and she has the correct number of fingers, well if it's fake, it's better than any of the proof of life images.
I think the AI bullshit has made people so dumb they forgot we could edit photos in the past, without them. This is not a generated image I don't think, but I believe it is a Photoshop edit.
I don't know what his wife looks like or what the building she's walking out of is so it wouldn't even take Photoshop to produce a convincing fake for me; just claim it's his wife and if I don't look it up I'd have no idea.
I know most people could name every Kardashian but I kinda doubt they're as familiar with Mrs. McConnell.
You're behind the times; that was an excellent way to identify AI photos in 2023.
the vehicle and the person do appear to me to be a 'photoshop' job (pasted onto the image of the building in the background)
Honestly, no idea. But the head looks photoshoped, and also, you can't really identify the person there.
But I would completely accept it if some paper said she was caught buying a coffin.
Looks fake af
Let the man buy a new bed if he needs one. He worked hard, ya' know! 🧛
Did he dead?
Yeah, back in June. But we don't get to say that for another couple days.
I can see it now, all the media companies journos just sitting at their desks on their own articls, with bated breath, just needing to change the date in the text and bam.
They know exactly what's happened, they're just toeing the line.
