I think he's been dead for awhile (freezes?), and now with the REVEAL/COG, his masked double is getting him out of the way for good. He served a purpose thru yesterday, swamp-voting against Kash Patel.

Good news this morning.
If he resigned right now, he’d be doing himself, his state and his country a great favor.

Good. Best for everyone, however, it should have been done long ago.

Good riddance.
The only useful thing he ever did was get Trump’s judges confirmed.
Otherwise, yucky deep stater.

I was starting to think that he would stay on until he was carried out in a pine box.

Well, he did keep Garland off the USSC.

Will he be on the first plane to China?

Maybe. The governor is a Democrat and would appoint a Democrat

He wants his governor to replace him with a Democrat appointee.

Upon his resignation, the first thing the DEM Governor of KY would do is go to court to have the KY law requiring the KY state legislature to pick any Senator replacement ruled unconstitutional. There are far too many Obama and Biden judges out there to make this an easy path for the KY GOP.

The Governor does not replace a Senator in Ky. There is a special election.

How is McConnell going to vote on Kash Patel? The vote is today.
