The populist musings of the poor...The sooner we realize that politicians are not in the game to represent us but to instead enrich themselves, we will all be better off.

Mitch shares the blame for the failure of the federal judicial system in America….he, Chuck Grassley and Donald Trump. May they rot in hell.Good for Mitch, and the country.
Now if we can just get Joe and Donald to step down/away.good
You do k ow his episodes were related to his concussion, right? Just like Fetterman and his stroke?did he actually announce it?
or did he just stand there, motionless, staring straight ahead for 20 seconds after someone asked him about it?
Don't forget ol Chuck.Now if we can just get Joe and Donald to step down/away.
Didn’t they change that law after AB was elected and panic set in about Mitch’s health?This is going to be interesting. As in most states, Kentucky law allows the governor to appoint a temporary replacement until the next election. But unlike most other states, it states that the governor must choose from one of three candidates submitted by an executive committee of the outgoing senator’s party.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is a Democrat and has not committed to choosing a Republican replacement.
LOL, did you see Biden on Kimmel? Sharp as a tack.You do k ow his episodes were related to his concussion, right? Just like Fetterman and his stroke?
Joe’s mind is just decomposing in front of us.
Chuck forgets Chuck.Don't forget ol Chuck.
Joe might have left if Mitch hadn’t been such a pussy and blocked the impeachments of Trump.Now if we can just get Joe and Donald to step down/away.
Pretty honorable record for a good ol’ boy from Kentucky….I mean what’s a little treason and skullduggery between friends, anyway?
He blocked the impeachments of Trump? I thought they had the Senate trials and voted in both cases.Joe might have left if Mitch hadn’t been such a pussy and blocked the impeachments of Trump.
Not sure about health issues but they did change the law to add the party requirement about 3 years ago, shortly after Mitch’s current term began.Didn’t they change that law after AB was elected and panic set in about Mitch’s health?
Non-Defense spending as a percentage of GDP increased significantly during his tenure as party leader in the senate. He has a net worth of $35 Million serving as a public servant. That does not sit well with me. I am glad to see his time come to an end.This. For all of his faults, Mitch was at least sane and pragmatic. His replacement may well not be.
Seriously? Who says wattly old Mitch isn't cultist?Not sure how good this will be in the short term. Means the senate majority leader will likely be a cultist.
Now do the others.Non-Defense spending as a percentage of GDP increased significantly during his tenure as party leader in the senate. He has a net worth of $35 Million serving as a public servant. That does not sit well with me. I am glad to see his time come to an end.

Yeah Mitch spearheaded a move to change that law in KY once Beshear won the governorship.Sounds like it's the law so he will have no choice.
Mitch should step down earlier and let them have the election in November for one thing it will save the state money.
Who is the leading candidate to take his spot?
Seriously? Who says wattly old Mitch isn't cultist?
I doubt it. Joe, and Jill, like being POTUS.Joe might have left if Mitch hadn’t been such a pussy and blocked the impeachments of Trump.
Mitch didn’t block the impeachments. Joel is having memory issue.I doubt it. Joe, and Jill, like being POTUS.
From the perspective of if he’d wanted, he could have pushed senate republicans to vote to convict trump, or let members to vote their conscience; and that 2nd trial could have gone very differently.Mitch didn’t block the impeachments. Joel is having memory issue.
Bullshit. That like a judge telling a jury to come back with a specific verdict. They vote their own conscience.From the perspective of if he’d wanted, he could have pushed senate republicans to vote to convict trump, or let members to vote their conscience; and that 2nd trial could have gone very differently.
That’s one I’d love to have the private conversation of what went on in that decision making process; after making the public comments that Trump was responsible but then not voting to convict. Did he think trump would fade away and voting to convict would only alienate his supporters?
In what’s a political trial? It’s not accurate at all to compare to a criminal trial.Bullshit. That like a judge telling a jury to come back with a specific verdict. They vote their own conscience.
Okay, then I should assume the ranking Democrat in the Senate at the time blocked the impeachment of Clinton? Agreed?In what’s a political trial? It’s not accurate at all to compare to a criminal trial.
How many times have we seen Mitch or Pelosi hold votes until they knew they could pass something? How many times have we seen both of them publicly reign in wayward members?
I’m not saying the needed number of Republican senators to cross to vote to convict was there, but I think had he opened the door there were more who might have.
I would guess there was a lot discussion about it and Dems mostly closed ranks - I was all of 15 at the time so I have no clue. For the 2nd impeachment in particular tho - you had several republicans who were publicly very critical of trumps actions on 1/6 who ultimately voted not guilty. Do they still do so if Mitch decides differently?Okay, then I should assume the ranking Democrat in the Senate at the time blocked the impeachment of Clinton? Agreed?
Chuck Schumer is much worse than Mitch on every front.![]()

Oh he kneels to Trump. He's getting ready to endorse the pig. Just watch, he will kneel.Mitch didn't kill the border bill on Trump's insistence, that was Mike Johnson.
Don't get me wrong Mitch is a right winger. But he doesn't kneel to Trump. He's one of the few Republicans left who can manage to maintain his power without kneeling to Trump.
