John Stroger, President of the Cook County Board (in which Chicago sits), was in a coma for about 2 years before being declared dead and for most or all of that time he held office if I'm recalling correctly. All these acrobatics and deception just to "hold a Senate seat"..... It proves what THESE people are all about. These people are INSANE, and we need to start dealing with them as such. Quote

WTF would a wife fly out of country at a time like this. These people are horrible. McConnell paved the way for Justice Amy Coney Barrett. During Obama's second term he refused to confirm judges nominated by the President of the USA. He left a vacancy on the US Court of Appeals for the 7th circuit. When The Great Incompetent cankled his way into the White House he then filled the vacancy with Amy Coney Barrett. Then after Justice Ginsberg died just before the election he rushed to fill the vacancy with, again, Amy Coney Barrett. McConnell is the Senate majority leader who refused to have confirmation hearings for Merrick Garland for a year. Remember this, when the Republicans are whining about court packing in the future, it was Mitch McConnell who most recently changed the number of justices on the Supreme Court. For a year Mitch McConnell reduced the number of justices from nine down to eight. Democrats need to return the favor. stevenkesslar 1 Quote
Goober Posted July 21 Posted July 21 If it turns out that Mitch is dead and has been dead for several weeks, and we find out before the midterm elections, isn't the repug party risking not only independents but even MAGA turning on them? Some of the biggest critics of MAGA are former MAGAts (better late than never, I suppose). No one likes to be deceived. Quote

This is all hypocritical and corrupt of McConnell. I don't wish anyone's death. And he is a public servant getting paid to do a job. I have to show up to my job. Stable Genius 1 Quote
Goober Posted July 23 Posted July 23 "According to a recent national poll of registered voters, 30% believe it is "somewhat or very believable" that Senator Mitch McConnell is no longer alive." https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/mitch-mcconnell-hit-alarming-poll-193543207.html I'm surprised it's not over 50% believing he's dead.

If Ruth Bader Ginsberg's family was as conniving and horrible as all of the MAGA elite, they would have had her on life support until January, 2021 to save us from Amy Coney Barrett's crooked appointment to the Supreme Court.

RockyRoadTravel Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 I've heard that August 3rd is the understood date after which it's too late for the Kentucky Governor to call a Special Election to fill the empty seat. The self-serving manipulator that he is, I expect that August 4th or so McConnell will quit. Quote
