It's crystal clear that Mitch McConnell is done. If Republicans are calling on Democrats to step down over mental acuity issues, they should do the same with McConnell.
JD...the strategists don't know anything. Mitch must go.
According to Kentucky law ...
"Whereas state law previously allowed the sitting governor to make his or her own appointment to fill a Senate vacancy with no restrictions, Senate Bill 228 passed by the Kentucky legislature in the 2021 session changed that.ended law, the governor now may only choose from three names recommended by the executive committee of the outgoing senator's state party, and must make that selection within 21 days of receiving the list from the party."
However, I never put it past Republicans to blow an opportunity when given the chance.
Dr. Malone and the John Birch Society argue that a convention called today would have terrifying power and would likely result in an abusive govt very different from Constitutional govt. With the terrible abuses of the current House of Representatives, I tend to agree; we do not want to give power to rewrite our govt contract and protections to a similarly caustic organization. Some states are simply immoral, agenda-driven, and influenced by man (not God).
I agree. If republicans are saying that Biden is unfit to be president because of his health then they are hypocrites if they stay silent on McConnell. And if democrats are saying that about McConnell then they should buy a mirror because they would see Feinstein in it. And I don’t think Pelosi has a full deck of cards. Caitlin Johnstone says that congress is a smelly geriatric nursing home.
We have many members of congress who have been there between 40-50 years and I bet not one of them has been to a store to buy their food or had to pump their own gas and don’t even remember what it was like to make ends meet. Almost all of them are millionaires who got that way through insider trading and other corrupt dealings.
Sigh. And this right here is one of the reasons Republicans have been losing for decades to the left. They think that being called hypocrites, (or any of the other disingenuous attacks the left has been using continuously) has any meaning in the ideological war.
The Democrats would not be slowed or deterred in the slightest by acting as open hypocrites, let along merely being charged as such. Republicans go huddle in their corners and whimper, "But we aren't hypocrites. See? Watch us cut our own throats to prove it!"
It is apparent to me that the friends and family of McConnell, Biden, Fetterman, Feinstein and others care more for political power than they do for these individuals. Anyone who would not put the well-being of the individual ABOVE the position that person holds, is a heartless scumbag.
Mitch McConnell said today that he is not going to step down. He is going to hang on as long as he can. He definitely should step down, but he won't. 16 months to go.
Another commentor on Substack, whose name I don't remember, coined this moniker for him. It cracks me up, plus it's very accurate. He's a glitch in the matrix.
The Deep State or the ones pulling the strings don't need "leaders". Hence we got brain damaged Fetterman, doddering Biden and McConnell's mini strokes. They only need puppets to do their bidding and with these senior citizens in poor health it begs the question "who is in charge"? The fact that they are not forced to resign is so telling of what is going on behind the scenes. If Biden doesn't it make it to the next stolen election, Kamala Harris will take his place. She's another perfect puppet. She's stupid and loves the limelight. Perfect!
The country is captured and the government is trying to kill its citizens. Congress means nothing. They’re ALL traitors. That’s why NOTHING ever gets dealt with, especially in the interest of America.
JD I always repost your articles here and on GETTR. Any help I can give spreading thoughtful and valuable insight is a given. That’s about my only online presence, but it’s still a little extra. Keep what you do coming. Very encouraging to us flyover peeps.
Being someone who really doesn't play the "politics thing," I look at the situation from a pragmatic, rational, business perspective. The manifest "non compos mentis" situations of the national political figures is disturbing, specifically since they are in the positions of "decision making" that have national consequences on many levels. At some point the CEO and the Board of Directors of any company, due to age, must be retired for the good of the company and replaced with competent actors. That's just good business. It's the "Peter Principle," people rise to the level of their incompetence." It's at that point, I believe, due to age.
McConnell's doctor said he was fit to continue serving. Momentary lapses are not infrequent when a person has had a concussion. A person of any age can have a concussion. So I wouldn't begin to put him in the same class as Biden, Fetterman, etc. Now I don't particularly like McConnell, but it's not time to force retirement yet. That time may come. It might even happen tomorrow. But it hasn't happened yet.
Sorry. I was being careless. I just went by what the doctor said. He told us what it was, and said it did not make McConnell unfit. Two short episodes like that don't come close even to the SYMPTOMS shown by Biden, Fetterman, and Feinstein.
Seriously? The dude has been in the political game since he was assistant to a Senator in 1968-70. He was elected to the Senate in 1984! He’s been scamming the US taxpayers and other insider deals for nearly 40 YEARS!
In other words, the guy has never had a job. We’ve been paying for him his entire life. TIME TO MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE DOOR MITCH! And take your turncoat wife and all your homies with you.
Don't get me wrong. I am not at all happy with Mitch. But I just think that lumping him in medically with the likes of Biden, Fetterman, etc. is not the way to go, because as of yet, he has not demonstrated that kind of medical disability. He might do so soon, but we must always be just, and based on what has happened so far, there is no comparison.
If we resort to underhanded tactics, it will come back to bite us. Either we have integrity or we don't. Using highly questionable means to get rid of someone is not in my vocabulary.
Your view reminds me of the time I served on a mock jury. The trial was of a man who had shot and killed a man who had threatened and then followed him. The only question before the court was whether it was in self-defense, giving him the benefit of justification laws, or not. (Mock trials are held in law schools to train lawyers. Paralegal students such as myself were allowed to serve on the jury.) During deliberations, one jurist wanted to convict him based on the fact she owns a bar and doesn't want people bringing guns into her bar. That issue was not on the table. It has nothing to do with the case. Others had equally irrelevant reasons. They all voted to convict him, deny him the justification of self defense. I hung the jury. They were furious with me. But nowadays, too many people are learning to commit logical fallacies in their deliberations, and this was a prime example. As is your argument.
I feel that the placement of doddering incapable fools in our highest offices is a deliberate demoralization tactic.
They are trolling us.
They may not know who, what or where they are, but they all magically know Ukraine needs unlimited United States tax dollars.
Which suggests something sinister and illegal.
Probably Biden is not the only guy on the take.
Ha,Ha, Ha,.....
Politicians are very ambitious Used Car Salesmen going where the real action is!
It may be a coincidence but,...
I read on the net that Joe Biden's Father sold used cars in Scranton Pa.
Joe learned how to do the 'Hustle' by watching his father work the suckers!
Totally agree. At least appoint a new Minority Leader. McConnell is worthless even when he’s not freezing up.
🙌 Amen to that! He's always been worthless, too.
Mitch has done what he was supposed to do in the theater known as Washington!
JD...the strategists don't know anything. Mitch must go.

The best deal is to get back to the Constitution & the Sovereign States.
And do it somewhere away from Washington!
Maybe call a Convention of States?
Washington is beyond rehabilitation! Seeking small moves is a waste of time!

You may be right,
I just dropped the idea in as an afterthought!
But one thing I am sure of is to Bypass or repeal the 17th Amendment & bring the States back to Washington!
Well stated; couldn't agree with you more.
Ah, but there's the rub; Mitch is a Democrat!
I agree. If republicans are saying that Biden is unfit to be president because of his health then they are hypocrites if they stay silent on McConnell. And if democrats are saying that about McConnell then they should buy a mirror because they would see Feinstein in it. And I don’t think Pelosi has a full deck of cards.

so many ways that our "representatives" are out of touch, with their constituents and with reality.
It is apparent to me that the friends and family of McConnell, Biden, Fetterman, Feinstein and others care more for political power than they do for these individuals. Anyone who would not put the well-being of the individual ABOVE the position that person holds, is a heartless scumbag.
and they are inflicting these senile puppets on us all!
Mitch McConnell said today that he is not going to step down. He is going to hang on as long as he can. He definitely should step down, but he won't. 16 months to go.
Did HE really say it? Or was someone standing behind the puppet whispering in his ear what to say?
"Glitch" McConnell.

nailed it.

What what would it take for you to think it had arrived?
Keeping track of the evidence, and when it hits a critical point, then saying he should step down. I use my own judgment.
Not a memory lapse. It is like an epileptic episode or mini stroke. Not even close to the same thing as being forgetful.
Sorry. I was being careless. I just went by what the doctor said. He told us what it was, and said it did not make McConnell unfit. Two short episodes like that don't come close even to the SYMPTOMS shown by Biden, Fetterman, and Feinstein.
