I appreciate the Mitch McConnell jokes, I do, but it appears that they’re trying to stretch this out until after an August 3rd deadline that would mean there wouldn’t be an election to fill his seat until after the midterms, which would be a pretty egregious subversion of democracy. And maybe we should be saying that a little louder.
@ben I'm sorry, did you say you wanted MORE #MitchMcConnell jokes? Beep once for yes, twice for no.
@ben democracy? In the US?
@ben isn’t this the plot of a Hollywood movie?
Is offering an indignity to human remains an offence in the USA?
@ben no way to force them to do the right thing
@ben he'd be proud. It's what he did with rbg
@ben As I keep saying, Gov Andy should start McConnell’s senate seat appointment on the assumption he is dead. Let the GOP PROVE he is not, in court. #nothingtolose
@ben They must think we all have severe brain damage if they think people won't all just assume he's dead or indistinguishable from death by August. All the shit they pulled claiming Biden's health was in decline and this motherfucker is probably either a vegetable or people are lying through their teeth about him being alive and we're just supposed to trust them when they say neither is true?
@ben dude its 2026 and you're still invoking democracy when referring to the US. LOL
@systemadminihater I know I know but never give up, you know?
@ben why?
they don't care about democracy and we need to stop pretending they do.
@ben Why are our elected officials doing nothing about it?
@ben Kentucky is going to have to pick up that torch and if they have ever done something like that it had been kept real quiet
I wonder if someone could create a halfway-convincing lookalike of McConnell's cooling corpus, just to convince them to show the damn body.
@ben Wasn’t it McConnell himself who thwarted the Obama Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland? Time for some irony and justice.
@ben and totally in brand for Mitch too.
