      So, is it a plug shaped like a taco, or a plug for a taco so it doesn’t loose all the filling when you lift it to your mouth? 🤔

      Because if it’s the former, I think insertion into Bitch McConnell sideways would grant your wish.

    Normally, if a sitting Senator is unable to continue (due to Retirement, or due to God exercising His Ultimate Veto on the matter), the Governor appoints someone to fill the post until the next scheduled Federal election, where whoever is elected would serve out the remainder of that term.

    But Kentucky is an exception, because they did something truly crazy and elected a Democrat as Governor, in a state that is otherwise solid red. The Legislature passed a law which states the Governor can’t appoint anyone to fill the vacancy, and must call a special election instead, and overrode the Governor’s inevitable veto.

    So, should McConnell depart for greener pastures with heavenly lettuce, I wonder if Beshear will string the election process along, and leave as much possible time with that Senate seat vacant, out of pure spite.

      Yuuuup. And, btw, remember that this is the asshole who gleefully told Obama that they would never let a supreme Court judge in until one of their own won

      The $6 million dollar Man, in 1973 is equivalent to approximately $45.3 million in 2026, plus technology advancements, minus rising cost of health care (especially concierge elite health)…

      Yep, math checks out.

    *insert montage of Weekend at Bernie’s goes to DC

    -We have mitch with sunglasses on, in a wheelchair, and the aid is voting for him.

    -We have mitch standing frozen behind a podium, about to give a speech, but his aid has to walk him off.

    -then we end with another take of his aids trying to carry/walk/puppet him across the lobby and end up dropping him, then act like he had a fall.

    Wait a second… has he been dead for over a year?? And not just on the inside this time.
