Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Won’t
Commit To Replacing McConnell With A Republican

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 9/3/2023 8:57:03 PM

Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) has so far not committed to replacing Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with another Republican, should the Senate Minority Leader’s health become a persistent problem. Beshear evaded the question about a possible Senate vacancy — pointing out the fact that McConnell has given no indication he intends to retire before the end of his current term — during a Thursday press conference. “There is no Senate vacancy. Senator McConnell has said he’s going to serve out his term, and I believe him, so I’m not going to speculate

That's his privilege. And other than who sits in the chair, it's just another deep state person anyway.

Why should he only RINOs would put in a D'Rat and call it crossing the isle. D'rats stick together. If we can have Mr. Poatoe-Head as our president we could probably stand deer-in-the headlight Minority Leader. Althought I wish he'd be replace by Kennedy (R-La).

The good news is this is likely McConnel's last term. The bad news is he's not up for re-election for 3 + more years. The RINO was re-elected during the midterms. If the Kentucky governor were to appoint a Democrat to serve out his term it's just the same thing as we have now.

The Governor apparently thinks that he, on his own, can declare a law unconstitutional. But he's a Democrat so he may be right.

I thought Beshear had unlimited appointment power until I read this FTA: Beshear is bound by a 2021 law to replace him (McConnell) with a member of his own party — a law that was passed over Beshear’s protests and his veto. So the GOP Central Committee presents Beshear with some choices and he decides.

Turtle's elevator isn't going to the top floor anymore. If he has to resign, best-case scenario - Beshear appoints a rino to replace him. Worst-case scenario - Beshear appoints a uber-lefty to replace him.

Would there be any difference? We thought McConnell gave us great judges, but found out not so much. Mitch is a RINO, aka demoncrat or leftist. You can tell by the way a dem gov speaks of him. So sad, Kentucky.

He doesn’t have to resign, just step down from his leadership position. He doesn’t seem to impaired cognitively, just having some very short brain freezes similar to petit mal. Also known as absence epilepsy. I have a relative who developed this after a playground fall. It has not affected his life at all. There is medication he takes that controls it so that he can get a driver’s license but other than that that life is normal. Mitch is old, he does things that make me nuts, but then he often has, he doesn’t have dementia. That would be Biden and Feinstein. Fetter man is just impaired.

This is the danger and disaster of keeping these fossils in office, years or decades past their sell-by date. When it is impossible to disguise their senility or incapacity, there is the risk of their being replaced by someone not elected, and at odds with the electorate.

They could replace Mitch with a Northeastern Water Snake and it will be all the same to us. The ironic part of this whole situation is that he spent most of his life accumulating millions of dollars instead of doing an honest job but he will not live to enjoy any of it although his family will. Same for Joe Biden. In the same condition, Diane Feinstein looks so dignified being lifted out of a car in her wheelchair while she wonders where she is.

One of the mothers describes Biden telling her about his son Beau and trying to compare the loss of his son to theirs, which is not a fair comparison at all. One of them describes the outrage at seeing Biden check his watch as the remains of the soldiers were received. RedState has more:

Residents in Springfield, Ohio, are sounding the alarm over illegal immigration in their community as Breitbart News revealed that an illegal alien is accused of causing a school bus accident that left 11-year-old Aiden Clark dead on his first day of school. Hermanio Joseph, a 35-year-old illegal alien from Haiti, has been formally charged with aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of Aiden Clark, who was on his way to his first day of school when his school bus was hit and ultimately overturned. According to police, Aiden Clark was killed after being ejected from the bus. Joseph’s bail was increased to $150,000 this week.

It wouldn't be a 'total shock' if President Joe Biden ended his 2024 reelection campaign by the end of the year, noted a biographer with enhanced access to the White House. Author Franklin Foer said Sunday that he found during his time with Biden and his inner circle that 'one of the primary insecurities' of the President 'is that he does not want to be perceived as stupid.' Biden, 80, announced in late April his bid for a second term with Vice President Kamala Harris – but questions have emerged in the last year over whether the President is too old or too unfit to serve for four more years.

During a segment on ABC's "This Week," Stephanopoulos brought up a Wall Street Journal poll released over the weekend showing support among Trump and Biden split directly down the middle at 46% support each if the 2024 presidential election were held today. "It is kind of shocking in a way, that despite all of the baggage that Donald Trump carries, he’s tied with Joe Biden right now," Stephanopoulos said.

Casper, the second-largest city in the state, is home to 60,000 residents but now also has about 200 homeless people. Some have seized various properties that are empty or abandoned, including an abandoned Econo Lodge motel that hasn't operated since November.

Lui charged that over $1 billion in suspicious transactions have been reported to the U.S. Treasury since Epstein’s death and that JPMorgan Chase ignored sex-trafficking red flags over many years, thus enabling these crimes. The case will go to trial on October 23 unless a settlement is reached.

In the last 20 years, the Left has boasted that it has gained control of most of America institutions of power and influence—the corporate boardroom, media, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the administrative state, academia, foundations, social media, entertainment, professional sports, and Hollywood. With such support, between 2009-17, Barack Obama was empowered to transform the Democratic Party from its middle-class roots and class concerns into the party of the bicoastal rich and subsidized poor—obsessions with big money, race, a new intolerant green religion, and dividing the country into a binary of oppressors and oppressed.
