many months.

In a fortress of GOP politicians and medicine men, is the truth relevant?

The Republican House. Currently comatose and unaware of the danger we are in.

And still collect his salary & have health insurance.

We should all have perks like that.

Kentucky is blood red and the governor ( Democrat Beshear) has to name a republican to replace him or call elections.

It's a sure thing his successor will be GOP, whether temporary or by elections. So, why the delay ?

They know that they cannot win a fair election -- so they will cheat. The governor would be forced to appoint a rethiglican senator to replace mcTurtle

That is why they do not want the election. because once that person becomes an incumbent and does something positive for KY, the democrat will be hard to unseat.

Cause mcTurtle never make life better for Kentuckians other than himself and his own immediate family (maybe a few donors, but that had nothing to do with state of residence -- )

... in Kentucky to replace him. So it doesn't matter what the Governor wants, and it doesn't matter whether he follows that law. Gov. Beshear doesn't get to pick the replacement Senator, period.

The key date is August 3rd - if McConnell is declared dead before that date, there will be a special election. If he's declared dead after that, then the Governor chooses the replacement. (He could choose Thomas Massie or any other Repuke.)

In any case ... whether it's scenario 1 or 2, the replacement Senator will be required to stand for re-election in November because McConnell's term expires at the end of the year.

But does it prevent a Democrat from switching parties and being appointed? I can see Republicans doing that if a GOP governor had to replace a Democratic senator.

The Turtle could be stone cold dead and Trump could send goons to keep everyone away and a hand-picked "doctor" to not-declare him dead.

Mitch is so rotten he’ll probably die smiling if his final act helps the GOP steal one extra ounce of power….

... take the vilest, most underhanded Republican skulduggery imaginable, double it, then multiply by 666, and you'll probably be close to whatever they're scheming.

Because she hates his guts as much as everyone else?

She was a Secretary in his Cabinet, and he's making sure she isn't available for the nosy reporters to ask her questions. That's how it looks to me anyway.

Is coming out and keeping this to take over media when its going to hit.

Since were all speculating this is mine.

The GOP today really don't care about anyone but themselves.

Good to see you, my friend

I would love if since you are a commie libtard you would manipulate the weather to send some rain down here instead of sending it to ruin the diaper king's Fourth Festival. This commie libtard would appreciate it. Hope all is well with you.

My house is being rebuilt, and I hope to be moving back in next month. (fingers crossed)

I'm still very busy at the German club too.

May that vicious old son of a bitch get all the advanced medical care that currently exists,
