I hope this is true. McConnell is an insidious and vile oligarch. He preferred Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan in '76, has NEVER been a conservative. He has willfully and intentionally thwarted the conservative cause for decades. He has hand-picked his own Senate yes-men and sandbagged anybody that could possibly go against him.

Kentucky changed it's appointment law in 2021. The governor would be required to appoint from the same political party as the resignee, and from among names provided by the Executive Committee.

From the below article:

"SB 228 changes that appointment process in key ways. Most notably, it requires the governor to pick a temporary successor who shares the same political party as the departing senator.

It also makes them select that person from a list of three names provided by the executive committee of the departing senator's state party."

McYertle’s retirement “sparks fear”????

Sparks Fear In D.C. Senate Minority Leader Will Retire Before 2027

OMG I'm bloody terrified! Hide the children! Buy gold! Can some food!

[TBP]

Kentucky has a Dhimmicrap governor.

Who’s fearing? We are Prayong for it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Sparks fear” — Huh? WHO is afraid of him retiring? Democrats?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Trump needs to start claiming Kentuck as is home. NOW!

That law is unconstitutional, or it should be.

No laws establishing one (or two) political parties have any place in a representative republic (but they are a perfect fit for "our democracy").

How will we be able to tell if McConnell is seriously brain-damaged compared to the way he’s acted in the past?!?

[Reno89519]

Let him resign, ask him to resign. We don’t have a majority so who cares if the governor picks a Democrat replacement. Getting rid of McConnell has more immediate importance. I say replace him with Rand Paul or someone that has some backbone.

[EandH Dad]

Beshear would have to nominate a Republican and it won’t be Massie.

[ought-six]

He needs to resign.

[newzjunkey]

Who wrote this piece? It’s so sensationalistic it could be parody.

Mitch did a fine job moving Trump judicial nominees through.

Complaining about his support for sitting POTUS Fore over challenger Reagan almost fifty years ago makes no sense. Ford gave us Carter which gave us Reagan at the right time.

[dennisw]

Harry Reed had an exercise machine punch him in the face. He retired from that whiplash. Now we have sing a long (RINOS) with Mitch in dire straits. And here I was pulling for Putin to do a header, and end up retired in Sochi, in his billion dollar compound. His hideaway where the Docs come to give him cancer drips.

Aaron Johnson needs to learn how and when to use an exclamation mark!

“The Republican bigshot”

I don’t think much of the turtle but the condescending attitude of this “journalist” is revolting.

“Aaron Johnson” is probably a Chatbot alias.

Happy retirement.

Great news! That SOB was in charge of the Senate in 2015 and 2016 when Obama was President. Both years the Senate recessed normally throughout the year.

When Trump was sworn in, McConnell kept the Senate IN SESSION the entire Trump presidency to prevent Trump from making recess appointments. He let Obama do it, but roadblocked Trump.

Glad to see that trash go away.
