    Completely agree. Its much worse at the local levels.

    Im not one for hard line term limits, however I do think its wise to limit a persons term in a specific office. 10 years is plenty of time for an official to lay out the vision and recruit ambassadors to take over their vision.

    They will just put him on a Ventilator and let it look like he breathing
    until they no longer need him.
    What a ruthlessly cruel and vile society.

    The Chinese spy went back to China after McConnell became a vegetable?

    the plot thickens



    A lot of people are asking “why hide McConnell’s state? Not like a Dem would win the special election?”

    If McConnell vacated before August 3rd cut off it’d be a special election and any one can register as an independent… Including Massie. Which would split the Republican vote, giving him or maybe even the Dem the chance at the plurality.

    But, if McConnell’s seat is not vacated before the 3rd by legally stepping down or a signed death certificate, then it’s too close to the next election and rules prevent a special election which bars any new registrations at this point.

    With McConnell’s wife having travelled to China AFTER he was hospitalized, the next of kin isn’t available to sign off and so the bar for ending life support is extremely high (would require full brain stem death, which is not present in some patients who are never coming back)

    So all they have to do is drag their feet until August 3rd, then tell you that he didn’t make it. And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.

    I won’t be trying to be in Congress when I’m 65+, so my thoughts won’t change

    enough with all these meemaws and grandpappies in Congress

    Mitch McConnell ended up a damn vegetable

    Dems had a geriatric with throat cancer as the top Dem of the Oversight Committee until he eventually died last year

    Massie has a massive axe to grind with Cheetoh
    So it would be kind of funny
