“The only consolation is that most of us here will outlive these doddering old Commies and RINOs. ;)”

But we’ll be suffering the consequences of their actions.

[Mariner]

At 81 he should give up the whiskey.

[Jolla]

Concussion - he really was slapped around like Reid.

Regarding wishes that the turtle steps aside...

...you have to remember that the Governor of Kentucky is a Democrat, and thus would appoint a Dem replacement, further strenghtening Chuck Schumer's hand, at least for a while.

According to "Ballotpedia", Kentucky is a state where:

U.S. Senate vacancies are temporarily filled by gubernatorial appointment. The appointee serves until the next statewide general election is held; the winner in that election serves out the remainder of the term.

Might not be as bad as the RINO McConnell.

[HYPOCRACY]

Hope the old bitch suffers horribly and dies.

He should be in a ventilator, it worked so well on Covid treatments.

[Ezekiel]

Bad falls are no fun.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

Of course his detractors have been telling him, “Yertle old!”

The Turdle before assistance came:

[EC Washington]

Finally, some good news

[Night Hides Not]

I’m nearly 69, working here in the tax department of a large real estate company. Great people, interesting work, I’ll do it as long as I can. Just started WFH a few weeks ago, Monday and Friday.

Mitch probably tripped while he was distracted and thinking about Tucker’s videos.

I thought it and you said it. He was reading the latest update and tripped over the family cat. Tell Tucker to lawyer up?

[Nextrush]

I thought the GOP legislature was working on a way around the D governor legislation regardless the election this year should boot the Democrat and elect an R governor so in 10 months yeah.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t roll over…

[jjotto]

Look again.

“Note: Following a change to state law in 2021, the governor must select an appointee who belongs to the same party as the departing senator. The governor must also select the appointee from a list of three names provided by that party’s executive committee.”

[Yossarian]

That was Kentucky SB 228, which was (no surprise) vetoed by said D governor.

[blueunicorn6]

Chinese fall?

[Carl Vehse]

First it was that McConnell fell. Then it was that he had a concussion. Waiting for additional reports, like we’re waiting to find out if Fetterman will recover from being flatlined.

I just can’t conjure up any interest or concern about this traitor’s health.
