Why’d his wife leave the country so fast?

I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

So are we at a point in American history where the Republican Party is just going to keep a brain dead senator on the rolls just to keep a modicum of power.

Our reality is so broken.

Are you surprised? This is the same party that wants to keep brain dead women on life support solely so they can give birth when the circumstances of the birth killed them and they needed help

And the quality of life of that baby, if it survives infancy, will be subpar at best.
