    Serious question: what is stopping Beshear from calling for a special election right now? Like seriously.

    “The people of the great state of Kentucky have been without proper representation in the senate for over a month. Since Mitch McConnell has abandoned his post as Senator I am calling a special election for his replacement immediately.”

    Make them PROVE he is still alive.

      Yep, call for the election, and make MAGA sue. If they do, they’ll have to prove he’s alive, and if they can’t, then they get to go to prison.

      Call their bluff. They’re lying, they’re ALWAYS lying.

      Heather Cox Richardson (historian) talked about this in her politics chat today; she seems to think it’s a combination of a) likely legal quagmire b) with no major benefit given congress will soon be out of session and c) turtle holds a couple of really powerful positions, while he’s out the republicans are hampered.

      lack of testicular or ovarian fortitude. Some reporter should ask him if his balls are in a jar where we could actually verify that they exist. Lets just put the rumors to rest.
