    Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

    And the press, being completely controlled by the government offered absolutely NO pushback to this. Freedom of the press? An well informed public? “Most transparent government”? Buncha bullshit. You will only hear what the party wants you to hear.

      Well it’s really for our own safety. You see if you broadcast a video of the demon Pazuzu who is wearing Mitch as a flesh suit. The dark magics binding Pazuzu break and he will drag any witnesses into hell.

          I definitely remember reading that part, even mentioned it in the post I made earlier. The press is completely under control of the regime now. Soon they’ll be more careful not to put in anything that could even possibly cause them to get a displeased phone call.

    From what I can tell, this video was taken as they arrived to transport him, then later another one was taken when he was actually brought out of the house and put into the limo. Then more video was taken of him being wheeled around in the safe space Senate Chamber, but out in the hallway, only photos were allowed to be taken, no video.

    So my guess is, he’s non-verbal and they’re going to wheel him around and help him push the right button to vote when they need his vote on something. So far I haven’t seen – more importantly heard any footage of him actually speaking. In the video I linked with him being wheeled out, he doesn’t speak but does a “thumbs up” once, and in the car we see he has a blank expression and mindless grin.

      This raw story says that “more than an hour after the Senate convened without him” I legit don’t know what to think.
