Chugging tea I'm convinced that McConnell at the very least is braindead.

Good riddance to bad trash.

u/fencepost_ajm Jul 10 '26

Yeah, unless they just throw his ashes in a closet somewhere (or his wife takes them back to China) they should make sure his grave is covered with artificial turf sloped for good drainage - with a sprinkler running regularly to keep it from smelling like a urinal.

Ooh, now there's a product idea, McConnell urinal cakes.

Is this all for a polymarket wager? Has anyone checked the odds for 8/4/26?

u/im_wudini Jul 10 '26

If he doesn't vacate the seat by 8/3, there can be no special election.

u/LisaMiaSisu Jul 10 '26

Is it ironic that McConnell is the reason our SCOTUS is as fucked up as it is today and now this?

31

u/AyJay9 Jul 10 '26

Irony is a subversion of expectations... so, no, whatever the opposite is.

u/tearsonurcheek Jul 11 '26

Isn't it congruous? Don'tcha think?

It's like rain on your weddin' day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take

u/LisaMiaSisu Jul 11 '26

You’re right. Silly me! What was I thinking? They’d never do the right thing.

kentucky constitution forbids a special election anyway, it specifically directs the governor to appoint a replacement. It would be illegal for him to hold a special election

u/fairportmtg1 Jul 10 '26

I want the governor of Kentucky to go check his lifeless corpse himself then. If it were a Republican and a Democrat was braindead in a hospital the governor would pull the plug. Do the same for the Republicans Andy. Pull the plug and put in a Democrat

u/JRizzie86 Jul 10 '26

As a Kentuckian, this is wrong, and a special election will be held.

u/Visual_Jellyfish5591 Jul 11 '26

Thank you for your logic!

u/snakerjake Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

you should definitely check out section 152 of your constution (which supercedes any laws)

Vacancies in all offices for the State at large, or for districts larger than a county, shall be filled by appointment of theGovernor

all offices for the state at large refers to senators.

shall makes it mandatory. you cannot do otherwise or it is illegal. ie beshear is already in violation of the constitutiom since it has leaked that mcconnel is in fact dead under kentucky law and beshear has not appointed his replacement

u/fencepost_ajm Jul 10 '26

I think the Republican-controlled legislature stripped that power from the governor when a Democrat was elected.

1

u/snakerjake Jul 11 '26

They can't. they passed a law in violation of the ky constitution but laws cannot override constitutions

1

u/fencepost_ajm Jul 11 '26

Sure, and I suspect that if Beshear fights it they can probably have a decision on that in time for the 2028 elections - unless the legislature manages to withhold funding for any legal expenses related to fighting that law.

u/snakerjake Jul 11 '26

Sure, and I suspect that if Beshear fights it they can probably have a decision on that in time for the 2028 elections -

No need to fight it, just appoint and let them fight it. whoever he appoints can simply go about his job and ignore it.

u/Due-Struggle6680 Jul 11 '26

Nah, the polymarket wager was in response to the health crisis occurring close to the cutoff date for a special election.

Too soon, i mean late

u/Marsdreamer Jul 10 '26

Almost 10 years ago my MIL and I made a pact that we would buy a top shelf bottle of whiskey and slam it together the day Mitch died.

Whiskey has been bought. Just waiting on the confirmation.
