So if McTurtle is having 20 minute conversations with people [View all]

Then why can’t he do a one minute live video to show that he is still alive AND CONSCIOUS?
I ain’t buying it. He could be a brain kept alive in a jar and the Repukes would claim he is out playing tennis.
It would, however, be ironic and fitting if he did a reverse Fetterman and woke up from his coma completely opposite what he is.
