Jokes on her, he’s too fucking dead to resign.
Mitch’s resignation letter:
That would be precisely the case if this was any other job. But, apparently, Senate seats are ordained by God and are a divine right.
And get handed over to family members, as with Graham.
This one has a Democrat governor though unlike Graham’s state. That’s why they are fucking around.
And what if he is incapable of resigning?
Considering the Senate was meant to be a collection of representatives hand picked by the rich, you are not far off…
How does one open the article
Firefox reader view usually works.
There isn’t any new information in the article aside from the quote.
Washington Examiner was started as the conservative alternative to the Washington Post. They have mostly party-line Republican views, with a few exceptions.
You can’t resign when you’re dead. Checkmate, leftists!
*should be replaced
someone who’s too sick (or deceased) to provide a health update also won’t be able to resign.
Beshear should just call their bluff, and name a Democratic Senator. Force MAGA to sue to stop him, and then they’ll have to provide proof of life. If they do, then fine, Mitch is still breathing, so they win.
But if they can’t prove it, or choose not to, then Beshear’s pick stands, and we’ve got another Dem senator.
Go ahead, call their bluff. You know they’re lying, they’re ALWAYS lying.
Kentucky doesn’t allow appointments, it has to be a special election.
Quite the opposite. The state constitution says replacements are appointed. Recent legislation that has not (yet) been tested in court calls for a special election.
I think that a honest court would strike down the legislation, especially if McConnel is revealed to be a corpse. The GOP are malicious liars.
Washington examiner is a right wing rag that shouldn’t be used as a source ever.
AOC Is right though.
2012 was like “where’s his birth certificate?” 2026 is like “where’s his death certificate?”
One was racism, the other is something people genuinely need to know.
He’s passed on! This senator is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If they hadn’t nailed him to the hospital bed he’d be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, he’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! HE IS AN EX-SENATOR!!
well he’s probably pining for the fjords
Stop giving me false hope
August 3rd…🪦
I cant even miss work for 3 days in a row without a doctor note and this pos just doing w/e?
Conservatives tend to believe in different rules for different people. They don’t really believe in equality
Some pigs are more equal than other ones.
And you think that’s a good thing?
At this stage I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the Knox Virus. He’s from KY, after all.
But he can’t do either because he’s dead.
Mitch is playing 4D chess.
I don’t think he’s capable of resigning.
