he has to pick a Republican
Someone mentioned by Kentucky law he has to pick a replacement from whatever party the departing senator was in.
We can only hope that he gets his chance in the judgement seat. Sooner the better IMHO.
Which means the RINO party in the case of Mitch.
Same situation for one of my clients. He uses a walker. Said he missed the polio shots/serum by 6 months.
The only thing I can figure on why these dinosaurs in government don’t retire and enjoy their twilight years is the deep state won’t allow them to retire, their votes in key situations are too important.
Yeah, Mitch works so hard to always side with democrats.
One reason they don’t leave is the threat of exposure. “Keeping a lid on” requires having the power to squelch unwanted attention.
No. It goes to a special election.
Appears to be wearing an ortho boot as well - did he break his leg?
Under a sheet would be better.

LMAO! You beat me to it!
I didn’t know that. I don’t like him but I do feel bad for him.
Oh come now.
I think that last week the KY Legislature (GOP) passed a law that says the Governor can’t appoint a replacement. It has to go to a vote.
I absolutely could be wrong, but it’s what I recall.
Turtle needs to retire but the Senate doubles as a convalescent home for elite senators who wish to depart in the stiff horizontal position.

He’ll be getting his wish soon enough, maybe even before “Doctor” Jill’s sweetheart!
For some reason, he’s wearing a black orthopedic boot on his left leg.
Perhaps, a leg injury was sustained during one of the two falls that happened most recently, and now requires the use of a wheel chair?
he has my sympathy for his medical problems.

Yeah, mine too even though I try to avoid virtue signaling.
These old geezer fools. What in the hell is he doing still in Washington. Hanger-ons like him make me sick to my stomach to think that they think they’re self-importance is above all else. Makes me sick. This guy has got to go. Seriously. Got to get him out of there.
