About F’ing time.
Mitch “The Bitch” McConnell is a traitor who made a career out of obstructing progress for the American people. It’s no surprise that he’s chosen to continue obstructing progress as his final act.
It can’t come soon enough. Not that the treasonous Republican party is going to offer anyone better to fill his position.
Just start the process to replace him already. If he’s alive, he’ll come out of hiding.
Kentucky Gov sends sternly worded letter.
My question is simple if the august 3rd? deadline is reached and then they announce he is deceased and has been what recourse do we have? The reason i understand they have not announced it is to prevent maisie from running in a special election. I do believe mcconell is likely passed or fully unresponsive.
The next admin can go after his staff for defrauding the government.
This is turtle’s last fuck you to ethics and decency
Talk about going out the way you lived.
Isn’t there only a week left until it’s too late for a special election? If the Republicans are covering up his death they’re not going to give in when they’re so close.
Exactly. Play dirty and create a nasty constitutional crisis. Worse case scenario is that the fucker is still alive. Best, it exposes the GOP that will puppeteer a corpse not to lose power.
Yeah exactly - and this letter shows that the governor isn’t going to do anything about it.
He’s “insisting” that Thune begins the process to consider the seat vacant if McConnell can’t serve. “Pwetty pwease can you declare a vacancy? If not I’ll be so sad.”
Good luck with that…
Does he have any power do actually do anything about it?
If there’s a vacancy he can make an appointment, but it’s hard to say what would happen. The Kentucky constitution allows the governor to fill the vacancy, but the Republican legislature passed a law 2 years ago (for this exact scenerio with Mitch) that said they would need a special election.
In a sane world, the law would be found unconstitutional and the governor would be able to ignore it and fill the vacancy with whoever he chooses. But who knows how that would play out in the world we live in.
McConnell doing what he’s best at: stalling
While the language in Beshear’s letter is strong, it likely won’t do anything. McConnell, like every member of Congress, can essentially go on paid medical leave for as long as he wants. The fact that our elected officials don’t really have to prove that they can walk, talk, and think coherently—while we still pay them—is disgraceful. Maybe Beshear should just pay McConnell a visit himself, and bring a camera crew with him.
The blue collar worker should try this approach. Oh, right. We wouldn’t have a job in a few days.
Even the article says this is likely to not do anything. Its time for the people of Kentucky to burst into every hospital with their cameras ready. Demand they see their senator is cognizant.
This is just the bare minimum that should have been demanded weeks ago and honestly he should have just started the appointment process by now, assumed he’s in a Weekend at Bernie’s situation, played the Republican lowball game and let the political chips fall where they may.
He’s not hospitalized in Kentucky, he’s in the DC area.
Oof, I even just read that and still got dumb mad.
capitalist class doing the dance with another capitalist class to ultimately do…nothing…again!
They aren’t doing nothing, they are scheming and laughing about it
damn cant argue with that!
Most people that are losing their rights, privacy, money, job, homes, and sometimes lives are doing nothing.
theyre “voting”! which is doing nothing but they think theyre doing something!
I think voting can be powerful and have positive effects, but voting doesn’t happen that often, there often aren’t good candidates on the ballot, and politicians tend to gradually change once they get into office.
Or else what?
He has instructed the liberal establishment to prepare their strongest worded letters.

Time for his medical records to get hacked
Why not bum rush the hospital
Hospital staff inappropriately accessing a patient’s medical record would violate both HIPAA and the HiTech act. That person could face civil and criminal liability for such an act.
This is why the left fucking suck and MAGA is dominating.
Who fucking cares about HIPAA. Cry about it. Thanks for stopping by to announce you know the rules. Rules don’t matter anymore. Which is why i said give the person a good million like MAGA did for people who yell racial slurs at kids.
Now if you don’t think the left can do the stuff the right is able to, maybe they’re not the dumb ones.
As a healthcare IT worker I can tell you that people in healthcare fucking care about HIPAA. You sound ignorant.
This is such an insane comment 😆
Stop lying
If we all Naruto run at the hospital they can’t stop us all.
Area 51-2: we’ve pivoted from alien pussy to turtle pussy
turtle pussy
Just make absolutely sure which end is which before going to town on a snapping turtle
Right like how the fucking hell do you all have the energy to Naruto run area 51, scientology buildings, get dressed up in costume to get shot by ICE, show up in the millions to protest in cities world wide yet I’m the crazy one for thinking maybe bite off a challenge that has a real goal. One that like is attainable. He’s at the hospital. Once proof exist that cat isn’t going back in the bag. So why such a push online from randoms who will convince people to go protest and get arrested but not have fun with this one.
I seriously believe online discourse is heavily influenced by bots that act like sheep herders
I think that you’ve got a lot of brainwashed people - MAGA/DSA come to mind. I don’t think that brainwashing just goes away, even if they diverge from the ‘mainstream’.
I, for one, think you’re right. Hell, you could probably just use a drone to skip all the dangerous bits. Either way, the action will have consequences - honestly it could be good or bad but hopefully good.
Maybe he should try to contact him for comment via a séance.
yeah he has a good reason for not resigning, being dead and all.
And if McConnell DOESNT give an Update before August 3rd then Beshear will send ANOTHER Angry Letter!
I see you’ve dealt with democrats before.
So we’re calling mildly worded letters an order now? He’s doing the same bullshit everyone else does. Every week that gets added to this he writes another letter. MF the deadline for the election is next week.
For context Senator Ben Lujan from New Mexico got BRAIN SURGERY after a STROKE. He returned to work after a little over a month. He took less time off than McConnell has had for what is allegedly only a minor case of Pneumonia.
Why does Trump get carté blanché but when it’s anyone else they just throw their hands in the air. Beshear needs to just hold the special election. Watch how fast they provide information.
Props to Senator Lujan. One month after any surgery is intense, let alone brain surgery.
Mitch is feeling much better lately.
Went for a hike today:
Then they visited Paris:
And stopped by Euro Disney:
Wow, generative AI is incredible these days, I thought it was the real guy.
