KY doesn't need a special election. The mid term is already in progress, the primary was in May. Congress has proven itself useless, it can manage until January with a seat and a couple of committee chairmanships vacant.

No deadline and no consequences for failure to do so in Beshear’s letter. I wouldn’t even call this an empty threat. The GOP will ignore it because they know Beshear will do nothing. Until the Democrats learn to fight back and stop turning the other cheek nothing will change.

NSPM-7 is a death warrant. NSPM-7 makes every democrat a terrorist. NSPM-7 has had the FBI training JTTF to track you for a year. ICE has been training JTTF to command and capture you. CBP has been training JTTF to torture and deport you.

And McConnell wont do anything even if he could he wouldn't want to set a precedent of being accountable to anyone. Just announce an election the presumption of incapacity, and see what he does. He himself personally

A sternly worded letter is good, but what can he do about it if there is no response? McConnell’s staff is hiding the truth, and they think old photos, and fake statements will keep his real condition under wraps. Eventually the truth will come out.

This is another Mitch trick/abuse. It reminds me of when Merrick Garland was nominated and McConnell stalled it for months and months saying the new administration would choose the next nominee. Mitch McConnell will never return to office; he is to old, sick and frail.

About time someone forced this issue with Republicans taking unscheduled time off to hide behind questionable health problems. One apparently spent his time trading stocks. And McConnell should have to present a permission slip from his doctor to even return. Employees do. 😼

The original 911 call said he was having a heart attack and CPR was being performed. When they started putting pictures out the reason for his illness was changed to "a fall". Funny, the hospitalization a couple of years ago that the pictures are likely from was for a fall.

GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL AND DEMAND PROOF HES NOT DEAD! WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD?! This is why the dems approval is in the gutter. They keep doing the same shit that reps are actively ignoring or lying about and expecting us to call that fighting If he doesn't call their bluff he's in on it

Breaking: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is hospitalized with a severe repetitive motion injury from excessive finger shaking. Staff is expected to carry on the sternly worded social media posts in his absence

I want to see any fucking journalist in the world ask for an interview with McConnell while on camera. Just want to see someone TRY. — It’s all I ask. Or just any corespondent stand with a staffer in the hallway at Mitch’s hospice location and say, “We’re here waiting for the confirmation.”

Shout out for trying. But yer up against immoral people who think the best way to win a game is to cheat. I swear they're every B villain with an ace up their sleeve that gets caught red-handed and says it was Biden's fault.

If we pretend McConnell is alive for a sec, then I promise you that dude has no clue he's Mitch McConnell anymore Dead or gone, those are the only reasonable answers to the mystery

Of course there is. McConnell is OK but wants to step down. So he stays on sick leave until 3/8 to keep his seat vacant until mid term. GOP keeping him out of public to spark wild conspiracy theories among dems just to later use it as ammo against them, crazy conspiracy theorists etc.

Gov. Andy Beshear must appoint someone as the interim senator. If McConnell is Dems, the GOP governor already replace him! 😡 They go low, we go lower 🤬 Because they’re crooks & unfaithful!

Because this governor is going to appoint a Democrat to take Mitch's seat. He is going to bypass the nonsense the GOP set to block just him from using the powers as the Governor to allow to fill a vacant Senate seat. Doing so would possibly energize the people to finally vote Democrat for Senate

Kentucky isn’t even a purple state. The Republican gerrymandered legislature enacted Laws preventing Beshear from appointing a successor to McC. Beshear has been tough, but he’s limited on this issue - doesn’t want to harm Dem candidates.

He is within his legal power of the governor which was stripped from him because he's a Democrat. This has legs therefore not moot. He can ignore them, appoint a Democratic senator and throw their BS right back in their face. Defeatist attitudes like that is why failure happens often on the Left

I love my Governor, even if he is in a terrible political position right now. He got us through COVID and saved lives. I just hope he can get through this mess.

Funny because he didn't DEMAND anything. He simply asked McConnell to communicate with the people of Kentucky personally that he can continue to serve or resign. You people are worse than Fox News.

Is he dead? Not sure. Could be dead. Then again maybe not. Maybe someone should check. Who should check? Should we check? He might be dead. How do we check? Not sure. Do we need to check? What if they don't let us check? I think he is dead......... UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!

the man has had at least one massive stroke. He is not fit to serve. He is likely very much intellectually compromised. He needs to rehab and then go into skilled nursing.

He'll be back. He'll look a little different, sound a bit different, but vote just the same, exactly like Trump wants. Switch McConnell has got at least another twenty in him

1. He did NOT send that via USPS and expect it to arrive in time to act. 2.He waited too long under the circumstances. 3. He SHOULD have gone himself check on him long before now. 4. None of McConnell’s children have been to see him (per reports). WHY?

He‘s dead, or as good as dead. Possibly on life support until August 4th. He would be attending Lindsey’s funeral, if he could make any decision. Beshear needs to do better! KKKongress and KKKlownCOTUS are corrupt, complicit and engaging in TREASONOUS ACTS! TRAITORS TO THE USA! TYRANNY IS TREASON!

One less Republican vote might be better for the country. Isn’t the guy entitled to the same sick time as the guy in NJ who was literally missing for three months with no one even noticing. His doctor says he is recovering so give him some time. Conspiracy theories/speculations are not useful.

I love the way Beshear is approaching this, he did not rush in, political guns blazing, instead he's making reasonable demands of proof that McConnell can continue in the senate. And very, very rightly so.
